Just after I completed Pool School with RandyG, my friend and I were playing pool at work and I was telling him how important it was to grip the cue very softly even on the break. On my very next break, I proceeded to launch my cue (fortunately it was very inexpensive) into the lunch table about 15 feet away. I am just glad nobody was sitting there. I'll never let myself live that one down.
 
Something other than the elbow "dropped" on that one!

No, but his jaw certainly did, after he saw his cue was "in flight" and getting ready for a belly-landing on the nearby lunch-table! :D
 
New definition for the acronym "SPF"?

BTW, I'm not sure what this thread has to do with "SPF" other than it being a shameless plug for the school, or else a new definition for the acronym "SPF," i.e.:

ent [P]oolcue [F]lying

:D

Similar story. Scott Lee was demonstrating what a hard strong would look like without letting go of the cue. He was doing a kind of slip stroke, and showing me what it would look like by letting the cue slide through the front hand. He picked up my cue, a $2000 Scruggs and did the move. He must have seen the anxiety on my face. He stopped to assure me he would not have thrown the cue. He didn't throw it.
They next time I saw him he was going over the same thing He picked up a house cue, and sure enough he accidently lost the cue and it went flying. I was so glad he didn't pick up my cue again.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY should ever pick up another persons cue without asking first.

NewStroke, did you manage to keep your head down until the cue landed?

I'm sure he [P]aused just prior to "delivering" the cue, and then [F]reaked afterwards when he saw the trajectory of the "delivery." :D

Or, he houted [P]rofane [F]ourletterwords as he warned the "lunchees" at the lunchtable to keep *their* heads down because something was incoming. :D
