Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

dr_dave
FYI, I just posted a new video that shows an example of a double hit foul call situation that came up in a recent pool league match. Do you think I made the correct call? Check it out:

Tascarella Cue questions...for owners and previous owners...

HyperioN
I've always liked the idea of having a Tascarella cue. The history with Balabushka, the classic style, very old school.

So I got a quote...nothing fancy, his classic 4 point, 4 veneer with stainless steel joint, a few notched diamond inlays with leather wrap.....$5,250!!!

The questions I have...

1. Is that worth that price or should I find something used?

2. Is it worth the hype? Does it really have a great hit and feel? I know its subjective but I do see a lot for sale.

3. Do you have one that you would never get rid of because you love it so much?

4. If you have ordered a custom from Pete, what aspects of your cue have you loved or not loved?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Are LD shafts only really helpful on long shots w/ a lot of side spin?

Backhand and fronthand english describe which hand to move sideways the most for high-deflection (backhand) and low-deflection (fronthand) shafts. Pivot points (where the cue crosses the shot line) are at or closer to the opposite hands.

I think one is only better than the other in how it fits your cue's high/low deflection. Did you mean something else?

Yes that is correct. Fhe is superior due to having the stroking arm horizontally locked and being able to bridge in multiple locations

...now I use FHE because it's pretty much superior in every way so long as you're using the right stroke
