I liked that clip of Cisero Murphy - I'd seen it before. What's just as remarkable as his pause (to me) is his slooow start forward on the final stroke.

Great history lesson - thanks!

Someone please tell us the best places to hit some balls in Superior this weekend, with MN still closed. Size of tables doesn't matter much. Thanks, Jim

Is he right about Fast Eddie fouling on that "combination"? (about 3:30) I have a hard time seeing it at full speed. I can't believe a nice guy like Eddie would cheat.

Did Sigel even call a pocket on that 9 ball? It didn't look like it to me. Maybe I didn't see it.

Does anyone know anything about the Hammerhead V2 tip, with the clear poly-carbonate pad? The Outsville website has the new tip, and it looks like other sellers have the original Hammerhead. I tried emailing them but haven't heard anything. Any feedback on these tips would be helpful...

Someone please tell an anxious nation who won the first set at CR's last night: TJ versus Shane Winters. Thanks in advance.

Question for you guys who know rubber wraps: I like the "Cyclone" wraps that Seybert's sells, but they don't carry brown ones. Does anyone know where I could get one? Thanks in advance.

I wanted to search for info on TNT cues, but I get a message that says "tnt" is too short a word. Does anyone know an easy way around this? Thanks.

I have read/heard at least one "expert" recommend practicing shooting one handed. This is what I mean: set up a straight in shot, bridging off the rail. Take a couple warm up strokes, then move the bridge hand off the cue. I would think this should be good practice for stroking straight...

I have a cue with a Dymondwood butt that seems quite a bit "slipperier" than the usual finish on wood. Has anyone tried knurling or cutting concentric grooves in the grip area to make it easier to hold the cue with a lighter grip? Thanks.

18 oz. Dale Chilton break cue (one joint, which is Ti uni-loc) for sale. This cue is all dymondwood, less than a year old, in excellent condition. One piece phenolic ferrule / tip. I like it, but the balance isn't quite right for me. I paid just over $300; will take $150. Contact me if you...

I have a major alignment issue that I'm not sure I've heard of before: no matter what stance or head position I set up with, my cue looks like it's pointed about 5 degrees left of where it actually is pointed. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. Is there hope for me, or am I doomed...
