You are lifting up starting with your head. The sooner you stop blaming everything but yourself the sooner you will improve. Look on the bright side. You can blame yourself when you win too. The tip didn't make you win. You did.

Tips don't miscue. Players miscue. They come out of their shots. A slight head lift too early will change your entire stoke. The body follows the head.

Stop worrying about your shaft and just play pool. Your shaft doesn't care about you or if you're stroking through the ball well.

Pretty hard to concentrate on your game, patterns and such if you are thinking about your shaft while shooting. Kidding not kidding. Perhaps people eat while playing and get stuff on their shafts. I dont know. I never clean my shafts. They're smooth as a baby's bottom, always. How do you get...

Hope you're well bud but try looking at the table not up at the lights. I think the lights do a great job illuminating the table.

If it's a rotation game, 9ball or 10ball. Filler is damned surgeon at the table.

Sort of understand what you're saying. Greyhound busses and Centennials are both classics?

Took Greyhounds buses more years ago than I want to say.

Maybe. Don't spend much time in bus stations. Are you talking Greyhound bus stations? Are there bus stations anymore?

The poolroom just might be the most diverse community on earth. That's my experience anyhow. All in an enclosed space. Everyone gets along despite different personalities.

I believe mammoth tusks are available and legal and can be bought at jewelry shows. My son has a cue loaded with it. I will PM you.

Never forget the loss I took from Ace in a tournament. Didn't sleep for three days as it was on my mind. Had him down 6-2 in a race to 7 in a tournament and lost the match. Not a handicapped tournament. Still bothers me to this day. Some matches you never forget. Nobody was a match for Matz...
