I've had a JB ultimate rugged 4x6 case for probably 10 years now. It's held up well with no issues. I thought I'd have problems with a zipper by now - but nope - they all still work as they should.

Tom Rossman (Dr. Cue) had a trick cue that had a spring loaded shaft. He cocked it by sliding the shaft into the butt of the cue where it locked and released it by pushing a button on the side of the cue. The shaft then shot forward striking the cue ball. I got to try it a few times. It was...

A couple of options: 1. get a pair of cannon plug pliers (used on connectors in the aircraft industry) Google shows several examples - not expensive. They have replaceable plastic jaws. 2. wrap several turns of duct tape or a piece of rubber fuel line around the threads to protect them and use...

I had cataract surgery on both eyes in 2012; with about a month between the first eye and second. For me, I could see much better right away, but I did have some distortion at first. This was most noticeable at night when driving. It turned out (for me) that it took some time for my eyes to...

Dr Dave - thanks for creating a place for all of us to learn - a virtual library it is. Hats off to you sir...

Sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to his friends and family.

Then perhaps you're lucky with a simple solution. I had shoulder replacement surgery in Feb. No pool for about 7 months - started playing again in Sept and doing well.

There isn't anything you can do to train your eye to be dominant. Wearing a patch won't work because after about age 5 your eyes are hardwired to your brain and other than some vision correction via glasses or contacts or some surgeries there isn't anything you can do to change things. That's...

5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions!

What if you turned the table 90 degrees and moved it away from the end wall a bit. Then the bar corner would be the only issue. One thing I did when deciding if a 9 footer would fit in my basement is I made a frame out of PVC the same size as the playing area. I placed it around my 7' table and...
