Thoughts?

This shot?

You’re saying back cut the 5 between the two stripes??? Even if you make it then what?

If he makes the 6 he bumps the 2 and can play for the bank side on the 5.

Am I missing something?

The slipperiest carbon shaft I ever used did not have a finished sheen to it, it had a sanded appearance to it.

This one is going to be added or become a replacement to 2 cues in my inventory. This is the bem forearm(cored)+ebony combo. Would have preferred having those contrasting streaks of green, red, brown and black of the ebony visible with the coating but Its glassy enough aesthetically that I'm willing to overlook it. As per spec, this would be a bit rear heavy/less neutral. As opposed to the neutral bocote+cocobolo combo.
Anyway, this is just a simple minimalistic merry widow. As opposed to the other previous cue. Cant wait to play with it next week.

Yeppers. Joey only makes merry widow style cues, every now and then a converted sneaky pete. I believe the majority of his sales goes overseas, but they are highly desirable all around. Joey makes an excellent playing cue!

I thought they were 500

Kao Kao. 98.639% sure.

Similar to Lishan and Ada Chi (Adachi).

Many of these for sale on eBay in the last few years. Some very nice.

If you search their B2B catalog you might find it...or not...and there are something like 1,200 cues in that catalog.

you do need to go three rails or you may not get on the correct side of the 4 ball

you need to be about where you are now on that side of the 4. otherwise you start the progression to get out of position on the 6 to get an easy shot on the 8. then you can get into a bad spot and not get out.

think more balls ahead here.

Three, two, make a billiard instead...

DCP just making post about the funny Diamond banks.

You can do a lot of things to get three; like slam the shot with some inside so it goes deeper into the second rail.

I hear that it's pretty common for the Revo pad to come off.
I had mine come off as well and the before that the hit didn't sound good so my guess is that they have a gluing issues of the pads. I've replaced mine with a Mezz pad and it plays great and sounds better.

Pretty simple for any cuemaker. ~20 minute job.

Is it just the red pad or do think there's anything wrong with the white ferule?

I know Chuck. Haven't seen him for a few years. Hope he's OK!

Side Bar: Maybe once a year I pick my Sims cue and play for an hour or so.

Harry's cues weren't a known for elite construction/science. He had in his mind (contrary to others) on geometry of a finished cue should be.
Screw the others.

He took a lot of grief from the elite cue owners/buyers.

When I pull that cue off my rack I see nothing wrong with how I feel with it. Sometimes I wonder why I went away from it. My answer for that is that Harry told me himself, it was time to move on. He suggested Longoni.

I played with My Longoni for 10 years? Thank you again Deno.

OK so here's why I wrote so much history.

I decided I couldn't live without a Dieckman cue. I found his phone number and called him to order a cue. Dennis didn't work that way. He had his own way with nearly everything. To make a very long story short, Dennis asked me to measure my shafts diameter inch by inch.

Dennis said that's very close to my modified European/universal shaft taper.

Very cool. Thank you.

Well, he certainly knew how to use a cue, so I think he knew a thing or two about how to design and build one.

No, not fancy. Yes, not a straight up pro-taper nor a carom billiard taper, something in between. At least that's the case with the few I have seen.

I am thinking about contacting Chuck to see if he wants to tell a few old stories.

You should know that before you ever get down.

Yes for accomplished veterans like yourself. The rest apparently benefit from the methodical stability.

There's also the rhythm (for lack of a better word) (FLOABW ?) of a sequence. Players with smooth chops can breeze through racks if the easy ones come up. Most prefer the safety of sane tempi and assured consistency. One thing that might help this group is to number the shots in a sequence. If you have 5 shots to get out, make sure you are aware of this and also count them as you go. At the very least, you wont interrupt yourself to breathe before you're done.
I think counting shots can help fortify the idea and ability of doing longer licks.

Warning, this is an advanced and highly technical method. If you experience runs longer than 8 racks, consult an instructor for assistance in managing the issue.
