Thank you SO much for putting a link to your book here.. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I’m hoping to DL it to my computer later tonight. Thanks for your contribution good sir, have a good day. -B

I meant for half the price of a jackpot

Well actually, that’s just like your opinion,, man. Revo’s play great. They don’t warp, scratch or dent, and they clean with a damp cloth. They’re also consistent from shaft to shaft. I love playing with wood shafts too, but I there’s no way I’m going to deny the facts so obviously starring me...

I think it may help if one of the “makers” of the jackpot cue stepped in and gave the specs on the cue. Maybe specified how the construction of the cue is different from a standard shmelke? I mean, for 500 there’s a lot left to be desired. Jovi cues makes SW replicas for the Taiwanese market...

What was Gregs reasoning for staying up so long? He had to have known he’s going to play worse after having been up for 3 days. I’ve lived a “fun” life and can honestly say that even with “help”, playing pool for 3 days with no sleep is a difficult endeavor. His mental stamina must’ve been...

Mark Wilson said hundreds of players have quit playing pool entirely behind trying to emulate Django’s stroke. So yah, just don’t do it. Emulate a snooker players stance and stroke, just enjoy watching the Filipinos

While learning how to shoot opposite handed, and knowing how dominant eye aiming works, I’ve found that when shooting with my dominant hand, I prefer aiming with my left eye to cut balls to the right, and my right eye to cut balls to the left; all while centering my chin directly above the cue...

Just saw a video on Roy’s Basement FB page of Filler playing some guy one handed in 8-ball, with other guy taking 4-6 balls off. I doubt he’s practiced much because he plays about as well 1 handed as I do. Most people I see trying this can’t shoot unless they rest the cue on the rail. I played...

I don’t know that Id agree with the definition of a professional pool player being “one who makes the majority of their money playing pool; or someone who gambles every time they play pool”. I definitely think there’s a line that has to be crossed in order to be of a professional stature/skill...

Was he playing with just one hand or did he use his bridge hand too? I’ve never seen a one handed match so it’s hard to comprehend how some shots could be played well in one hole. Like being frozen on a ball in the stack and having to kick or play a touchy shot. Seems incredibly hard, I can see...

What about Calcutta? That’s not technically betting on the rail, but isn’t necessarily by competitors. Is that legal where you are? Or anywhere? I’ve always wondered about that..

For some reason it seems I’ve had a different experience with gambling than most in this thread. Gambling in pool, for me, has always been a huge part of the game. Almost as much as the game itself. I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt (MS) and there’s normally always a few people matched up...

I mean for me, I frequently ride a motorcycle with my case on my back. So if I get hit by a car I’d like to not have to worry about an extra $2500 sliding down the street in pieces. $200 is a minimal cost for “piece of mind”. Are there any other cases that are that protective for such a low price?

please, OP was refunded

nothing in this thread sways my opinion of Cohen cues. He’s an amazing builder, and I’m also going to send my revo to him to have the pin changed.
