Here’s a simple way of deciding if you have too many cues. Go though your collection cue by cue, one at a time. When was the last time you did that? How often do you repeat the process of touching, looking at all your cues? OK, I suppose it doesn’t matter because here is an easy way to decide...

And I understand why you say that since I saw an episode on TMZ where one of their field reporters went by your home to interview you but no one was at home. He happened to snoop looking over your fence and noticed you had an Eco-Pro slate pool table. He wondered about the location but now...

3-4 cues which includes a break/jump cue. Anything more is because you have a reason for owning more than that and mine is because I need a pool cue for everyone of my children and grandkids as a memento. Otherwise 3-4 cues seems adequate.

All my cues would have Cortland Linen but my last custom had to go with gray leather because #9 wouldn’t have looked right with its design and veneer colors. I make sure to clean my wraps with steam and restore the smooth finish by glass burnishing the wrap.it literally can take a couple of 90...

I am not trying to steal your spotlight but simply to let you know I understand and can relate to your experience having undergone 6 shoulder surgeries since 2010 and still require two more. Both of my shoulders have seen repeat surgeries and my right shoulder requires a total reverse shoulder...

I am at Sierra Bar & Billiards right now and just read this thread. I dashed to my car to take some photos of my same scorekeeper I keep in my car’s trunk. As far as I’m concerned, this seems to be pretty ideal and suitable for hanging or as standup. I decided to add a back cover for cleanliness...

Oh boy……this could be a lot of fun. Tommy Hill is a Master PBIA Instructor and lives near me. We are members at the same pool room, Sierra Billiards & Bar, in Fresno, CA. Recently two 100” TVs were installed by the pool tables. I look forward to when I can ask Tommy to use DB in his training...

When will the time arrive, if it hasn’t already, that a cue maker can utilize AI for cue design requirements, new creative designs and interface that with his other equipment like CNC. Imagine just asking for a design theme and seeing what AI comes up with and of course, it has to be attainable...

The economics and evolution of advanced products is here now, today. Digiball will pioneer the effort because of its affordability in contrast with a setup required for something like this & DB’s obvious ease of portability for use anytime and anywhere with no setup required. I posted on the...

Sometimes on a par 5 you don’t reach the green on your 2nd shot and why settle for a birdie if you can putt for an eagle. My son just took up the game a year ago. There isn’t any par 5 he will play he can’t get to in 2. He hits a 3 wood 285-310 yds. His drives have reached 365 yds but 325-330 is...

Fast is your friend in tennis, hockey, soccer, baseball, cricket, golf, boxing, ping pong, video gaming, heck, even hand slap games. Speed is relative to the shot before you. In golf, you can be 25-30 yards off the green and you have a number of ways to play the shot with your wedges and every...

You comments make it sound like you haven’t had high speed video analysis of your golf swing and bio-mechanics. Underspin is important as any certified instructor will confirm and but so is your swing dynamic launch, ball flight, peak height, ball speed, spin axis, swing speed, club path, angle...

We are splitting hairs over the interpretation and intent of words. We disagree about what I meant or let’s say I intended which was never about anything other than his adamant stance and opinions about cue building. Yes, I think his approach is dumb but if it works for him and his customers...

Oh……I get it….. because I referred to his business approach as being dumb, JH likely inferred I was referring to his intelligence as stupid. as contrasted with his business approach and bedside demeanor. I suppose if you had a predisposition to how you interpreted my post it can influence your...

Mr. Helfert…….me thinks you inserted your foot in mouth and don’t know how to remove it. I never wrote that, implied it or referred to his character, intelligence or integrity. You some how felt it necessary to defend Al & criticize me. That would normally be just routine around these parts...
