    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    I would need to be able to run at 30mph to hit the cue ball at 35mph with this technique.

    Can you straighten a warped shaft?.....Manwon can!

    I have a 1 piece Brunswick cue that was part of the new purchase of my GCI back in 1971, I wouldn't call it warped, it had a turn. If you laid it on the table the tip raised up at least 4" over the last 12" of the cue. I stuck the cue in a knot hole of a rafter over my table with the the butt...

    Can you straighten a warped shaft?.....Manwon can!

    I use a tea pot on the stove. When it starts to whistle I pass the dented area thru the steam, wait a few minutes then lightly sand with 1000 grit. If the dent is still there I will pass it thru the steam another time or 2, until its nice and smooth.

    Fargo Ratings

    Almost all of my practice is on a 9' table and 100% of my competition happens on 7' tables, I don't think that practicing on my 9' table made me a better player than those who only play on 7' tables. The only difference between the 2 are when you get close to full table length shots on the 9'...

    I also think Diamonds are tougher than GC's and my GCI has 4 3/8" pockets. For reasons I cant explain a 9' Diamond feels bigger than my 9' GCI even though they are the exact same size, maybe its the big, flat rails that Diamonds have.

    Machinist level question

    I noticed that when I set my table up. You can learn a lot slow rolling balls across the bare slate.

    Yeah, that's why I say I would need to find a used one. I have yet to see a dented Dymondwood table.

    I thought if its Dymondwood the type of wood doesn't matter for toughness.

    If I get a Diamond it would have to be used, I want a Cherry Dymondwood bar box.

    Machinist level question

    Well the guys who set up tables bought from Temu might use carpentry levels but I doubt any real table mechanics do. If the guy setting up your table comes walking in with a carpenters level for your slate leveling you might wanna reconsider who you have setting up your table.

    green taom chalk on blue 860hr cloth

    I never chalk over the table, I like to stand away from the table to see the table and shots and that's when I chalk. I do get a lot of chalk between my fingers though, I think its because I chalk with my left hand (I'm left handed but shoot right handed) which is also my bridge hand. I do try...

    What is the worst roll you have ever seen?

    I did not, in my defense my wife always calls me blind.

    What is the worst roll you have ever seen?

    Yeah, I had a hard time finding the bad roll, was it just the scratch? Even I know to look out for that scratch, the cue ball wants to go in the pocket on those shots.

    green taom chalk on blue 860hr cloth

    Any idea why the 2 different colors, are they different formulas? Is one softer than the other like how Kamui had 2 different chalks?
