Willard's Tipper-Trimmer machine has a GAUGE!

<resurrecting an old thread here>

I am looking at one of these for sale and it is nice to hear that there is some kind of (not very well documented) gauge on the edge cutter. Unfortunately, it also looks like the standard cutter diameter is only adjustable from 12.75mm to 13.5mm which is probably the one that the seller got (still waiting to hear back from him). I play with a 12.5mm on all my maple shafts except for my breaker which is a 13mm, so unfortunately, I would have to purchase the smaller one from Mueller's for $70 plus tax and shipping.

Thanks for another informative thread AZB!

Mike Sigel's American Billiard League

And now add the ultimate pool league to the mix. I was playing a local tournament yesterday and a couple of guys were talking about it, they just started last week. So now local we have ACS ,TAP,APA,BCA/VNEA and Ultimate pool League all playing out of one location,but I have yet to hear of the ABL.
Ultimate pool is garbage. Slop counts, don't have to call the 8 ball, any pocket is fine, ratings that flux more than any other league.

Good players who do not look very good, while at the pool table, but still consistently run out.

Nobody has perfect mechanics. In fact I don't believe there is any such thing in reality.

Stange stance, strange stroke, strange shot choice, strange strategy.

Sure, if teaching or learning the fundamentals are important. Same with a coach fixing a problem in an advanced champion player. The coach is an advanced player. They know the ideal fundamentals, demonstrate them, and teach them.

I think this is part of what makes it all interesting, similar to other sports.

Champion golfers, tennis players, pitchers, quarterbacks, and more have quirks. Sometimes the quirks of a pro become a standard method.

In the end, no matter what, each is an individual player and there will be individual variations. Sometimes we think someone reaches excellence in spite of the quirks. I think sometimes we have to consider they achieved it because of those quirks.

Learn and train the best you can at the fundamentals, but play your own game. Be you.
I wouldn’t disagree..everyone is a little different but there are some basics that amateurs should stick with. Again comparing yourself to what a pro does is just silly. Not everyone is gifted enough to be a champion no matter how hard they work.
