For those of you with the Predator QR2 extension, can you describe the buttcap that replaces the cue's original? I understand that it has the female uniloc side that accepts the extension, but I'm interested in what the bumper is made of... rubber or hard plastic. I think it may be plastic and...

Will they be there, if not, how will that change the dynamics?

Awesome, thanks for all the great ideas.

Anyone have any recommendations for games that can be played with the wife and a kid that is new to pool? We've been playing "Blind" which is a cutthroat game that uses playing cards and 3-man 8, but I would like to try to handicap the games. Any recommendations (spot them, etc) or new games we...

Nice! I did make a breakthrough today. I only started wearing glasses full time about a year ago. I found today that I can be much more comfortable by sliding them down my nose and doing my sighting above them. Much more comfortable without having to crank my neck back, and my vision can still...

Deleted, beat me to it

Okay, I've been working on smoothing out my stroke and holding a follow through. I put a donut in front of the spot so I can seen where my tip is ending up. Also watched the Barry Stark videos and am implementing his grip. Much better results today. Working through the Phil Capelle book...

I did notice that my head position keeps changing, need to get that locked in. Also, looks like I need a more smooth stroke with less jab. Agree?

I did get the camera going and bought the laser level. Definitely nice tools to have. Here's a video of me shooting MOFUDAT. I'm definitely doing better. Does anyone see any mistakes or have any pointers? Thanks again https://youtu.be/GmuwrTEbvZk

Beginner here... What's the best way? New to watching, and I'm hooked. Last weekend was great for Turning Stone on FB, I had to resurrect an old account I haven't been on in over ten years, but it was worth it. Before that, just for fun and new experience, I bought the match between Aranas and...

Just watched a documentary about Aaron Hernandez on Netflix last night. Wow, crazy to see what went on there. I would never consider excusing his actions based on a disease, but they confirmed he had CTE by looking at his postmortem brain. They show a pool table in his basement during the show...

Wow, thanks guys for putting in the time to give all this great advice. After a couple of hours at really studying my shots at the table, it seems that my head needs to be positioned much farther left with the right side of my right eye over the shaft. When I do this, center placement of the...

Great replies, thanks. I will work through all of these and report back with what I figure out. I have assumed that I am getting on center CB based on MOFUDAT coming straight back and being able to scratch into a a desired inline pocket with a draw (sometimes when I aim left of what looks correct).

Getting frustrated with my aiming because whatever I do, the cue ball always lands to the right of where I'm aiming. I've tried the visual alignment evaluations of Dr. Dave and the one where you put the cue on the long center string with a ball at the middle of the end rail. I think I'm cuing...

Its 2:50. They let the camera run on another table after the match finished.
