(on a consistent basis.)The first person I saw do this was Mike Masse.

I only use the term "tips of english" to describe a shot to someone else. I can't see how any system can accurately tell you exactly how many tips to use on any given shot with variables such as cloth type, rails, cue angle, etc. For me it's all feel.

You just confirmed what I already knew. Ignorance is bliss, keep on truckin'. If you want to know my specifics, keep it off the board and PM me.

I'm only offering what I know, which you just confirmed with the bolded comment. I never said everybody uses something different. A lot of times it's made to their specs, as I had done for me as well. You're barking up the wrong tree.

If you're even 1/4 as knowledgeable as your post indicates, you should know that most pros that are sponsored by a company, don't play with all of their equipment. Most of the time it's custom made to their specs. Said companies are well aware of this.

There's a little bit correct in what you're both saying... ALL top players have the same exact (there's a couple exceptions to every rule) routine once they are down on the shot regardless of pocket size, it's the pre-shot routine that may take extra time, or even less. But, if you watch...

I've been in my basement practicing 18 hours/day to take the world by storm... Just kidding, been selling solar thermal systems here in Vegas for about 4 years. I'm not going to use the "not enough time to play" excuse, it's a cop-out IMO, I just haven't really had any urge until now. As I'm...

Put yourself in that position more often (practice that situation). If you have issues with focus, I suggest some form of meditation (meditation can be eying a focal point to OHmmmmm... OHMMmmmm). In between matches, you need to find your own repeatable routine (repeatable because you don't...

Someone told me to go down there to spar some a few months back, I'd really rather just stay away from the pool hall 'till I get back in stroke though. Sucks coming off of a 4 year hiatus and everybody expects you to play the same. To be blunt, I'm not going back into a pool hall to lose.

There's really only so much equipment can do for you. If you're looking for one shot without future consideration in mind (your next shot will have a depressed tip making it more prone to a miscue), then an ideal set up would be a soft tip (longer contact with the cue-ball), a heavier cue (this...

It's been a while since I've been on this site, and about the same amount of time since I've picked up a cue seriously. I'm trying to find someone to hit balls with on a 9' without having to deal with a bunch of people around for now. If you have a table and want a sparring partner (I have...
