Sparky was an amazing talent. I watched him play a few times in Florida and when he got his "mix" right he was very hard to beat. Bob Ogburn aka Black Bart was another player I remember that was crazy smooth.
Hello, sorry to write to you. Trying to get in touch with Justin. I bought some videos from TAR and can't stream or download at the moment some of them from Vimeo. Can you help? Thanks in advanced.
Actually, I had typed up a long response to your thread telling you how you could make a cue with just hand planes but then I hit some magical combination of keys and the message just disappeared. The Parris video shows what you need to do and how to do it. BTW, today when someone says it is hand made that means that at a minimum, it was touched during the building process by someones hand.
I didn't have a "misspent youth" but I am trying to make up for it. Someone said I shoot a "GoodStick" hence the name. The phrase comes from the saying: "A good game of pool is the sign of a misspent youth" Just for those that haven't heard it before.
Wow. I had no idea you were on these forums, I had really wanted to reach out to you but didn't want to waste your time as I am sure you are quite busy. Truly shocked honestly, and and honored you stopped by my thread.
I know this an old page, but I get a lot of inspiration from browsing your older cues. Not that your newer cues aren't amazing, I just appreciate hand details, including time and effort required. http://daytoncues.com/htm/web_pages/cue_construction.htm
I dont know you well enough as to if you are joking or serious.
1. I am talking about the aiming system only
2. Its hard for readers to find the posts on aiming
3. Some users have been haters since the early days and should be moderated
4. Define "enough" so I can understand your position
I've been interested in this forum for 8 years. I have picked great advice on all the different systems. I'm thinking about ways to save it. The only thing I can come up with is make this a moderated forum. The way I understand it is you or another mod become the gatekeeper. I think the threat of this will be entertaining. What do you think ?
Just wanted to say thanks again, appreciate you taking the time out of your day to answer what probably seems like some dumb question. Thoughtful and insightful.
