Interview with Bob Jewett - squirt, the Jacksonville high-speed tests, and why there's no "secret"

JeremiahGage
Most of you know Bob from his posts here, so I'll skip the intro. Sat down with him for about an hour to pick his brain.

Some of what we got into:
  • The ripped ferrule in 1980 that accidentally gave him a low-deflection cue before anyone sold one
  • Why a ball sinks about half an inch into the cushion
  • His answer when asked for hidden gems (there aren't any)
  • The 80% rule behind the Billiard University Runout Drill System
  • Why only about one student in ten practices between lessons

Bob's course info and handout are at sfbilliards.com. Anyone here run the full 15-level Runout system? Curious what level stopped you.

I am in the mid-curious group, lol! I just discovered last night the existence of mid cue extensions. I am not a tall person, but would like to see what using one would be like. I would just run a few racks with it, and see if I can get used to regular play with it on, then, of course, see how well I can do with long shots. Also, I am not sure that I want to spend $62 for one, lol. So looking for less expensive options for either 5/16 x 18, or 3/8 x 10.

Try it ..you might like it. As for price shop around. Some are better than others. Also can be used as shaft adapter. I have one that adapts a Schon butt to a UniLoc Revo and one in reverse. If you do not like it someone will buy it from you.

New members Hawking cues.

The worst os when they ask our experienced and educated experience on a cue- you give them a reasonable selling range; and then they throw it on e bay for thousands more--- it usually ends up selling in the range we gave them, and they end up paying e bay 14% on top. Well they could have just done that to begin with and not wasted everyone's time here. I usually respond bc I want to help out, seeing 4 or 5 guys on here agreeing on a price range should convince the uneducated to at least respect the opinion- otherwise, what are you asking?
