    I caught that while watching the movie. Made me chuckle.

    Front end mass, taper Questions!

    I agree with all the prior posts, and the links will help you a lot. Bottom line: Every cue creates some amount of squirt. Find the natural pivot point on your cue (longer on LD shafts, shorter on traditional shafts), mark it, and get comfortable using it. Ink marks wear off. I embedded a...

    Lets get honest about Meuccis

    Power Piston: The forearm is a smaller wooden dowel inside of an outer plastic sleeve. I own two. I have had no problems, but I cannot say whether they add any power (or absorb less power) or not. As an engineer, I say probably not.

    Mathematical 8 ball rack

    Starting now, I will spend extra time to make sure all of my racks conform to this set up. (I'll probably be beaten to death within the week.)

    Marking a shaft

    good observation. Goes for golf, too.
