Along these lines- tip hardness has very much to do with the feel of a cue hitting a cue ball - from my experience. If I change out a very hard cue tip to a soft cue tip - the difference in the “hit” of that cue is most often night and day. I cannot play with tip hardness in the hard to very hard category and I prefer medium soft as a tip hardness rating.

Thanks for posting a good instructional podcast video. However, this one, like all other stance instruction videos that I have seen, is missing an important element: The "perfect stance" is only applicable to about half the shots that you will encounter.

For those of us of average (or less) height, and playing on a 9-foot table, there are a lot of shots you have to reach for, and this takes you out of the typical American stance because your front leg is blocked by the table. To reach without the bridge, you have to rotate square to the table (more snooker-like). Instruction on how to best handle the shots where the need for reach cancels the "perfect stance" for would be a welcome addition.

That would be 3:30 West Coast, which contradicts the person who told me 1PM west coast time. Getting mixed messages here and wondering if anyone knows for sure.
