Another K-ball run. Heartbreaker 34 on a run to [who knows]. -td

And now for something completely new [for this thread]: K-ball ghost. [15 ball rotation with BIH] 36 -td

That's pretty cool Jumped the 9! That should be in a book somewhere. -td

There are a few out there at different price points. Here is one: https://pearlandeyecare.com/ Good luck! Which ever way you go, you will be glad you did. Tom

7-1 10-ball Diamond 9' Pro-cut. Not one of my proudest sets. My break was poo-poo all set. I missed a wide open 4 ball and got a lucky snap win. I did have a decent jump shot in game 3, though. 10-ball is much harder when your break is way off. -td

Maybe I missed how car tires and chalk are related. -td

For posterity and a link back for future threads: RSB [rec.sport.billiards] was a bulletin board popular in the 90s [also alt.sport.pool] Mike and Jerry started AZB around 1998 AZB rebooted around 2003 (vBulletin). In the first month [3/22-4/22] a few hundred people joined, including (some...

Absolutely and I would highly recommend it. 7 or 8 out of 10. But not for the reason you might expect. With an inexpensive cue, I always had an excuse as to why I couldn't go practice. Distractions, other hobbies, whatever. When I laid out real money for a cue, my mind wouldn't allow me...

Can you post a video somewhere and link it here? It’s hard to diagnose with text. Also - how many hours per week do you practice jumping? And total hours so far? -td

Taom - all the way to the bottom!!

There are a few brands now that are similar to Taom, which many regard as the innovator in this space. Taom Predator Pure Kamui Roku *How The top 3 are probably the most visible in terms of corporate reputation. How is less popular in the US. There are others that behave very similarly...

Onshape does a good job for this natively. In Fusion, I have to program new threads because I never liked the coil. But, when dovetailed with the canvas image, the programmed threads in Fusion do a great job. -td

I did this for my jump butt. Now my extension rides in the main pocket. I had to make a bumper for the butt, but it works perfectly. For my Propel, I made the extension ride on the top [screw into the extension bumper]. That also worked well. -td

In fusion, you can also import a canvas [image] of the thread and get the offset faces just about perfect on the first try. Most things require the thread pitch, and then offsetting 4 different faces somewhere between .1 and .3. You can get things looser or tighter with almost no test prints...
