That may sound correct but not quite. I believe what you meant to say is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is the active agent in Chlorox bleach. Sodium hydrochlorde (NaHCl) doesn't exist but sodium chloride NaCl which is the salt of a strong acid,hydrochloric acid (HCl) and a strong base sodium...

Hey Thomas, Are you still in Alaska and if so have you been hit by the snow blizzards? It would be wonderful if you could post some of the photos of that wonderful Intarsia flame cue masterpiece, I think was done back in '92-93 and your respective comments on its construction if you would. I...

Arnot-Q It's true, every Arnot cue that I have used are rock solid hitting cues with a very good cue ball feedback response. It doesn't seem to matter how old, new or whether the cue is at the lower/upper end price level. That is very interesting because in my estimation Arnot builds cues for...

Full Splice Arnot-Q Greetings, A full splice cue would be an excellent choice and just about any Arnot-Q you purchase will be rock solid and will provide excellent cue ball feed back. That coupled with a low deflection T3 shaft will provide you with a high performance weapon that pockets...

The Arnot Legacy K2, I am glad that you have found your way through the cue marketing clutter. There are reasons for Arnot's somewhat obscurity. First of all let me say that there are a lot of cue makers that make good cues out there in this stuggling market. And yes there are some that...

ArnotQ cues and shafts It's really good to hear that some of the accomplished players out there verifying what a lot of other good players have been saying for a long time. At one time it was almost like a secret cult among good players in that they did not want anyone to know how great it...

Arnot-Q Terminatior shafts Greetings, If you like a stiffer lower deflection shaft but also want very good cue ball control and feed back then you should consider the T3 shaft that Arnot-Q has available(player & break shaft) You can custom the taper to your desire but remember that there is a...

ArnotQ Greetings, A lot of road players in South Florida years ago found out how good ArnotQ break cues were and the word got out. That put Arnot on the map and he followed up with solid player cues. Things keep getting better and today I would have to say that if you want a very solid cue...

Arnot-Q Greetings, I have owned most of the major cue makers cues and started playing with an Arnot-Q 10 years ago! Since then I have purchased other Arnot high end cues and have been extremely satisfied. All his cues play great with tremendous feedback with the T3 shaft. I prefer a stiff...

The Player John, As you stated correctly, natural ability, talent, solid foundations etc. are all important but you still have to have the drive, desire and know how to win. Tiger's father was a very major factor in helping to shape his mental ability and fortitude in how to win similar to...

The Player Greetings, I applogize for this rather long post and hope not to ramble but here it is. There appears to be a lot of wisdom in these posts and I thought I would add my two cents for what it is worth. I spent a life time in pool halls and on golf courses worldwide for many decades...

Greetings, Just noticed one of your earlier posts and was curious as to the China Ko Ko manufacturer of E.W. cues. Unfortunately, I do not have one of his cues to examine. Is it possible that the components you mention above were purchased in China and assembled here by E.W. Thanks for your...

Greetings, Arnot-Q, cues with T3 shafts are solid hitting and create very good feedback. I have owned several Benders and would say that they are very similar to T3 shafts but for me the T3 had less deflection. Regards

Hi John, Thanks for the information. On another note how is the golf game? When do you anticipate your 14.1 DVD with "on shot analysis" will be available? That is a wonderful idea in that it provides the viewer with the shot selection rationale in "real time" as you see it. Best Regards, Larry

John, Irving Crane was an awesome 14.1 pro player and who coached Mike. Irving was the best safety player I have ever seen and contributed to his strong play. Where did you learn the game and whom were you mentors? Hope to see you again next time you come to the Chicago area. Best Regards...
