I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I know you are an avid collector and enjoy the process of custom cue building and getting involved in the process and I also love many of your replies in the various forums on AZB but there is no substitute for pocketing balls. My point is that we may...

Of course I chalk. It's part of my PSR. I rough my tip up with Willard's shaper before play too. But I never blame my tip for my miscuing. I miscue, not my tip especially if I keep my tip in optimal shape and chalked. The archer doesn't blame the arrow or his bow if he misses the target either...

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.

Why clean your shaft at all? Paper towel up and down the shaft and then over tip and then back in the case. What are you doing to your shaft that you need to clean it?

Believe me, I am not a Preditor fan. I think they are more of a marketing company but their lights are amazing. I am sure they do not make the lights themselves but they are wonderful and add to the overall comfort of the room.

My poolroom uses Predator Arena lights. They are terrific. Check into them also. I like them better than Littman. They cast a better light to my mind.

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.
