At age 15 Greg Norman was a hack just like everyone else when starting out playing the game of golf. It took him 18 months of what I would imagine was damn hard work to achieve a scratch handicap.

Tiger said “When I’m getting ready for tournaments, I make sure that each and every day I have 1,000 contacts with the club.” That does not mean he is out hitting 1000 balls a day on the range. He was looking at contact / touches of the ball with any club in his bag. That means x amount of...

CONTACT INFORMATION If you would like to buy any of the cues or cases on this site, or want more information, please send me an email at: tomwatters@recollectioncues.com I hope you enjoyed the site. I work hard to keep it up to date and (unlike most sites) this one is almost always...

Of course they do, nowhere did I say they didn't. Let me clarify for you and the everyone else. Don't worry about Diamondizing a Valley Pool Table!! Hell even leave it alone with factory specs. Bad play stems from not knowing where the cueball is going imo, not from the ability to pocket...

I too would go with the Penguin Pro rails and forget about the rest. Focus on position play & control of the cue ball & don't worry so much about pocket geometry.

Make the question to involve winning $100 million if the player makes the shot. Then it just might happen with the player expecting a little jelly for his or her effort. The gun to the head just doesn’t sound good to me. The player really doesn’t give a shit if you get killed or not. Hell...

That's just about what I thought you would say. I misread what you wrote. It couldn't possibly be that you responded in a manner that did not fit what trob wrote. I have neither the time nor the inclination. Maybe trob does.

Was the game played without chalk at one time? That fact has nothing to do with chalk pre-dating tips. Yes people who played the game picked up on the fact that off center hits made the cue ball move to one side or the other. If they knew how to solve that problem, it would’ve been done long...

Just out of curiosity what do you believe is a huge stretch?

I'll give your three right now & perhaps more as I have time to think clearly & come up with them. 1) When I'm putting, especially the short ones I keep my head down & listen for the ball to go in the hole. Works for pocketing an object ball as well. 2) When playing pool it is wise to keep...

There are many parallels between the two games, but the one first presented in this thread isn't one of them.

Do you really think I haven't done the homework? Why don't you tell the forum the whole story behind the numbers above? For everyone, those numbers are achieved by varying the butt weights along with the changing shaft weights to equal 18-20 ounces. But what about those who don't have the...

Of course I've done the research, hell I can't help but do the research. You spam the forum with your BS all the time. You know why the vast overwhelming number of cues built fall within the range you came up with? Because the weight range of shafts that fits your model is over an ounce!! In...
