Is Michael Li (Pazzion) still even making cues? Seems now that the last few he made are being sold on eBay finally, but these are from several years ago I think.

Yes, high and low English are things, and this doesn't mean center ball. It means Center-high and Center-low. Center ball means NO English. A level, dead center ball hit (which to me seems almost impossible for a human, yet we somehow learn to do it nonetheless) will cause the cue ball to simply...

Well, I do... "Feel Good!" Like I know I should... :)

Finally I will say that having a live coach (I mean a great player, and teacher (it is really important I think that they be both) to help you adjust these things as you go, in a lesson, is totally priceless. Because we wont see all the thing we are doing wrong, or might need to adjust and...

And, when people say "Don't make adjustments to the aim when you are down on the shot..." what they are saying is that you line up the cue as described above, then slide the rest of your body into position to be down on the shot (also as described), and then shoot the shot with THAT aim line...

Well, I think if your body is the correct distance from the cue ball when down for the shot, your back forearm with be mostly straight up and down when the tip of your cue is just touching the cue ball. This is the 'basic' way to judge distance from the ball for your stance, so that your stroke...

I have noticed about 4-6 shots that encompass most of the game: the spot shot, the long rail cut shot, the straight shot, the long rail back-cut shot, the frozen rail cut, the forward bank, and back-cut bank. Various forms of these 6 basic shots, at varied angles and lengths, comprise the entire...

Actually, it is important to remember that practice doesn't make you perfect. Perfect practice makes you perfect. We cannot perceive ourselves hitting the ball from a truly outside objective perspective. Not mentally, physically, or emotionally. Only someone else, standing on the outside, can...

Hey, here is something interesting: If you divide 832 by 59, you get... ... (wait for it... wait for it...) -> 14.1 ! Huh... is this like a 'Pool Gods' thing or something? :) lol

Mr. Sung is a Rasson table. :)

Actually, some decades ago, light blue was scientifically proven to be the least difficult background from which to read electronic text on a computer display. I would say this holds true for tables as well. Well, there was a study... LOL

Well, I noticed the pay-out for 1st seemed quite minimal this year?

Funny thing about the CF shafts is... I heard Josh say that he went back to the CF with the stipulation that they make him one that played exactly like his current (at the time) Predator wood shaft he was playing, a Z3 I think. lol... so the CF he plays is specially made for him I guess, and...

Well, it seems like a great thing now for sure. I just hope we don't wind-up like that old movie... the one where Stallone goes to the future, and finds out that, in the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell. LOL

Hey if their products are really that good, then I guess it is only good. I really don't like 2 things I see with the 'new' format now though: 1. Ridiculously short shot clocks. 2. Super short sets. I think both impact the quality, and the scope and range of play, particularly the super short...
