I was good friends with Cornbread Red for a few years before he passed away. He had one helluva slip stroke. He didnt use it all the time but he could use it on almost any shot. I tried learning it but i found it was difficult. It was something i had to think about and for me it was difficult to...

Look for scrimshaw artists or custom knife makers within your state.

Just wanted to put this out there for someone that is trying to decide on diameters on a Rhino carbon. I have owned all 3 in past couple years. I really like the Rhinos for the money. It didnt hardly take me any adjustment at all going from a standard 12.5mm custom shaft to the Rhino. The 12.4...

Im sorry for your loss. I hate to hear that way to early.

They definitely should bring that back!

Wow didnt know that...I met Sarah and talked to her at Janet Atwells place in Bristol around 16 or 17 years ago. She was playing in the WPBA qualifier. Nice Girl

I am a big fan of bank pool. The other night i was watching a couple of women's pro 9-ball and10 ball matches. One of the players which i really like is Wei Wei. She made a couple of banks that really impressed the heck out of me. She did not baby the banks or just hit them at a firm speed, she...

I understand where you are coming from on this. This would be something I could definitely use. When practicing, go down on the shot if everything is comfortable, you are lined up, need no adjustment, pocket the ball and stand up then see where you are positioned etc. I know i over analyze...

Bob I really never thought about that. But thinking about it my left foot when i step into the shot is definitely more forward. Ok i measured a few things. On a long straight in shot, 2nd diamond to 2nd diamond diagonal. Regular stance i am centered of the ball about my belt buckle. I always...

Just wondering does stepping into the shot or stepping back really make any difference. I have always stepped into the shot and find most players do. So tonight i tried stepping my right foot back instead of stepping into the shot with my left foot (right handed of course). I actually feel that...

I have a custom cue that i modified myself to get the balance pt where i really like. I drilled and tapped about 8 inches into the butt where i could position the weight bolt etc. Thinner taper at the joint .820 and has a aluminum radial pin. I got the balance pt at 16.5" at 18oz on the dot and...

Not giving preference but i order my JP's from cue components. You will choose Radius instead of Radial on the selection or just order Radial JP's on Amazon.

Yep looks like 3/8 - 7.5 or 8 so you should be good to go. I have a older Omega Billiards cue it had a 3/8 x 9 a regular radial shaft would only go down about 2/3 way. I think Mezz uses a 3/8 - 9 pin and they call it a Wavy pin. I just recently changed the pin out to Atlas Radial so i could use...

Exactly same with me, I have played for oh 36 years. I have always shot with mostly with outside. Probably 90 percent of my shots are with left or right of center. This is how i aim to pocket balls. I can throw balls in the pocket at lightning speeds at about a 30 degree angle using outside and...

Probably old Dennis Swift. The pool balls are kind of trademark Swift always done. but the W 65 is throwing me off. Glad to hear you are getting lined out.
