As a lot of us say...welcome to Texas, now go home

I'm certainly no instructor but I believe that if one can achieve consistency of stroke whether it is inside, outside, convex, or concave and is comfortable for the individual player it is the right stroke for them. Now if consistency is a problem then moving toward to a neutral alignment would...

I guess I play line position and just understand that if I under or over do it that I am going to have to turn the cue ball loose to some extent.

Hadn't really thought about it from simply playing a lesser angle. Maybe I'm not tracking with you but I would think that would require you to use some throw english on about every shot. Could you elaborate?

I think that ShortBusRus has it right. Typically when you try to slow down the same length stroke you used on slower cloth you tend to decelerate your stroke. By using a shorter stroke you are able to maintain your tip speed through the cue ball thus reducing the overall speed of the cue ball...

You are very correct, there are some very good threads on this forum and when I do visit I spend some time and do a lot of reading. The reason that I do not post a lot is that I typically don't have anything new, constructive, or different to add.With that said, does it mean that since I only...

WOW!!! I'm not a frequent visitor and have posted only a few times. I'm not a great player but I'm not a bad player either. I cash in a few local tournaments occasionally and will pass a dollar or two back and forth from time to time. I use an aiming system of my own that seems to work for me...

This is the correct number. I texted him today in reference to a shaft he is building for me and got a very prompt reply.

AMEN!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

I saw the tail end of the match and it looked to me that the 5 passed the 6 to the top corner and was a little off of the rail. I believe that playing below the 5 and not flirting with the side pocket or bumping the 6 would have been the more prudent play, but then again that may be why I get...

I am personally a fan of the rotation games as well as 14.1, not a big one pocked fan. From what I've seen since I started playing again is that I do like the idea of American rotation and the point system. Just not a big fan of ball in hand after the break. Dallas

Hello all, My name is Dallas Furman. After being out of the game for over 20 years, life kind of got in the way, I was digging through my closet and found my old cues. I got them out and fondled them some and decided to take them with me on my next job. Since then I have only played a couple of...
