happy birthday willard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the video's screenshot, the pocket facings appear to be almost parallel. That will throw the ball in the pocket more often than causing it to rattle. You only need to be accurate enough to hit just inside the point and it will drop, new cloth promotes that too.

Does the color have any relation to drying time??

I believe it has more to do with the cooking time and temperature.

It can for sure, I have a ferrule to prove it too

You do not have to prove anything ... please describe how you think the ferrule got damaged so new users know what to look for.

hello said:

and upon contacting Longoni was told that it is possible and they would pay for the replacement of the ferrule

Longoni looks good...as for their guarantee... who needs the agg of having it redone. To new users ...with any tip tool practice on a beater.

But it is the best tool I have used so far.

You wouldn't know "real science" if it introduced itself (as you've demonstrated with your ignorant reactions to Dr. Dave's excellent work).

Where can the players go for probably the last big tournament of the summer and win money playing pool. I mean this is practically where they are staying and playing.

Next Monday, they can go to the US Open 9ball in Atlantic City. It has been a great month of opportunity for the players, with four events back to back (Rally in the Shenandoah Valley, Florida Open, Battle of the Bull, and US Open 9ball), all of them on the East Coast. Many of the elite chose to play in all four of them.

With nice events week after week, things are improving for the players.

Good for her

more power to her. I noticed she doesn't even wear glasses!!!!

I have ivory ferrules on my custom cues and happen to reside in a state where ivory was banned for sale a decade ago.
So if I damage a ferrule, it will be permanent since I cannot replace it with a new ivory ferrule. Trimming a mushroom
tip is something I only entrust only to someone with a lathe and lots of experience replacing cue tips very successfully.

DM sent.

I have one of these.

Cheap and effective.

I am sure there are other methods but this is how I have use it and have never touched a ferrule with the blade:

Remove the shaft.
Set the joint end on the table and the tip end raised to about 30 degrees.
Insert tip/ferrule into the tool.
DO NOT push tip into the tool or push the tool down onto the shaft.
Hold the tool steady, blade up. Insert the tip into the tool. Pull the shaft up to the blade, watching through the window to see exactly where the blade is touching the tip.
Carefully spin the shaft with the other hand.

Long read, but I don't want anyone trying it and damaging their cue if they get one.

In league play no playing for fun yes it happened to me ,get to my age 73 i forget my glasses cell phone car keys and than i go back in and get them lol.
