A little love for Meucci?

My main squeeze for 40 years, a 1984 series Meucci Original, model three. Red-on-red points against the charcoal-stained birdseye made me fall in love instantly. Whaddya think?
Add mary Jane and jaegemeister.I figure out what shot will make me look the smartest, get comfortable, then say to myself "don't f*ck this one up, di*khead..."
YMMV
That that just for her breaks or for Sav's too? I didn't watch the match very closely. I was listening to it though.I just sped through the match. On every break the second ball closest to the breakers side dressed up for a combo, except when it was kicked away which I think happened 3-4 times.
Ditto, spray and prayI close my eyes, pray, shoot hard and hope for the best![]()
Interesting, it sounds like your threader may have been running too fast. I haven't had this issue with Hydex, but I always turn the speed way down to minimize heat load.The other day I was replacing the ferule on a shaft and it was threaded 5/16-18 I thought but for some reason the tenon was a bit thick. Like .330" and about .270" on the minor so I decided to build a ferule for it instead of making the tenon smaller. Cut a piece of hydex and drilled it out to .250" and then bored it to .275". So far so good. I live threaded it I took my first pass .020" deep which is my standard first cut on ferules. Nothing to see. Went back and took another pass at .010" and when the threader came out it had melted plastic on it plugging it up and the threads looked like crap. The thread mill is fine I believe as I have threaded a bunch of ferules and tenons with it since. I know feeds and speeds and technique but all things considered I find these materials too soft at too low of a temp. I have also had a sharp 5/16 drill overheat and gum up in them and never in juma. All things equal I'll stick with tried and true and leave the other to people who think they can tell the difference in how they hit. I sure can't.
Your mileage may vary this is my experience and opinion and disagreeing will not butt hurt me.
