a lot of the restoration threads end up in the "Talk to a Mechanic" board

I was leaning towards form and stroke. I see some really strange, to me, ways of holding a cue, the bridge, and the stroke. I was instructed by Mark Powell and from what he taught, and what I see, are far different from what he instructed. Brian.

All areas are susceptible to wandering off the beaten path. Sometimes that's good, but nearly always it is a less effective way to play. I think would-be trail blazers should ask themselves, "Why is this a better way to play than what others are doing?" "It's my way," is not a very good answer.

You guys are all so easily sharked.

Never give an opponent's quirk so much energy.

Its not about being sharked but about paying attention to what you do, if I set my hand down on a pile of rail chalk it inevitably ends up on my shirt, my pants, my face, and my cue. If I have wipe edown the small section of rail I am going to use so be it.

I may have mentioned it before, but I have that same cue. It's fantastic.

It's been sitting in the trunk of my car in Florida for over 30 years as my "just in case" cue and finds its way out a couple of times a year.

It's still dead freaking straight.

The cue has a loyal following. Not many people would be willing to sell theirs. I won’t.

It’s my only cue that made me more money than it cost me. I used to play with it in a bar tournament years ago. I made more prize money than the sum of my entry fees with enough left over to cover the cost of the cue.

That would be you're, not your and yes I understand social media and the concept of click bait titles, and it's RETARDED...

It's really not that difficult, if you can substitute you are for you're, then it's an apostrophe 're'. If you're denoting possession, it's your.

I want to know what kind of retard only tries one rack a day.

When you want to improve at something you don't practice until you get it right. You practice until you can't get it wrong.

I too put together a baseball set a little while back to play with once in a while. Now I need to introduce my pool buddies to try something new!!

They are not premium balls but premier 's. So the box is incorrect.

I like your boccetta set and have been waiting to add one to my collection.

Thanks for the share!

To be fair, I am more a visual guy than a completist. So having matching ball designs and matching green boxes for my baseball set is way more important to me, then having a correct box (which might be blue or white then)

So far I have 3 Boccette sets. One from Elefant, the new Raschig one, and a lot of single balls which I got in just a cardboard box. They look quite similar in size and colour to Raschig, and coming from Italy as well they even might be. I have no Aramith for comparison, so this will still be just a guess though

The probability is that the Crown pool cue uses a different bumper thread than what is supplied. It looks like Crown Me has a generic extension on Amazon. Odd that it wouldn't fit one of their cues.

I'd suggest messaging Crown Me through Amazon or contact whatever retailer you got it from and see if they have a suggestion for an extension. Failing that a cue maker or repair person can make what you have work.
