From the first video, it looks like you are doing something close to what I was for the first year and a half I was shooting. You're holding the cue up rather than letting it hang. This causes you to, in an effort to fully follow through, drop the cue as you are following through and thus, the...

I rarely use a closed bridge Mainly use it as my rail bridge (cue on the rail, between first finger and tucked thumb) which I (at least on bar boxes) also use for the break. Even my jump bridge is an open bridge. Now, I do have about a dozen or so different styles of an open bridge, and the...

As with a lot of things on pool This is about what's comfortable for you. As long as you aren't consistently miscuing and are comfortable, use whatever chalk however you want.

Not a pool hall But Harbor Point in Richardson (Jupiter and Buckingham) recently (right around Christmas) put new Simonis cloth, new cushions and had the tables leveled. I would love an expert opinion from one of y'all on how the work was done, but as a player on it, they are by far the best...

I think it's all about being comfortable I work in the restaurant business and am already on my feet for hours on end before going to play pool. Being that I grew up in boots, that's what I wear to work and that's what I wear to pool. Right now work is a pair of Justin non-slip work boots (not...

I just started using them Not sure how much protection they offer, but it gives me peace of mind. I have owned 3 cases, two of them I have to put the butt of the cue in joint first. Should be very well protected in the bottom of the case, but if anything weird were to happen, I like having the...

Curious if any of the cuemakers on here can make a shaft or have any to sell with a radial pin. I am looking to get another shaft for my dale perry, but don't want to alter one made by him, and since I can't seem to get a hold of him through email, and he won't allow you to select what size the...

Recently, two people really have made me get excited about playing pool. Most recently, you sent me a care package to help jump start my game, get me started off with a solid foundation. The DVDs will be a great help to me and I am anxious to work on the things in them. A few months back, Jeremy...

I've been playing for just under 2 years now, at 23 years old. I play decent 9 ball, be it APA (what I generally play right now as a SL6) or straight 9 ball. Also joining a NAPA 10 ball league in which I will start as a 70. Only a 5 in APA 8 ball, but I have learned a few things about proper...

After receiving a care package from CJ Wiley, I had an idea, and I wonder what other people here may think about it. I keep hearing of how bad tables are at some bars or pool halls. In many cases that can be true (while in some, like at a local bar I shoot at, it is exactly the opposite, brand...

I will contact Randy shortly. I have to give CJ props, I got his DVD and he included his banking T.I.P. DVD.

APA Double jeopordy The summer session, my 9 ball team qualified for tri-cups, where we went and won, qualifying us for city, the last step to qualify for a trip to Vegas. City will be May 30- June 1. This past session, we won 1st place in 9 ball, re-qualifying us for tri-cups, despite not...

To promote pocket billiards, I honestly think a great format would be similar to a local weekly tournament. BCA 8 ball with a 10 ball draw (had to buy raffle tickets for it). Set up a scotch doubles or 3-man rotation teams tournament with a quick shot clock like bonus ball had, and somewhere in...

I will most certainly do that Scott. Thanks for the information!

CJ, I appreciate it greatly. I will send you that PM in just a moment. My Wednesday night APA team this last session had Jerry Kennedy on it, who you may know. My Thursday night NAPA 10-ball team will be captained by Chris Staley, another one you may know. Jerry has told me in the past you give...
