This is good advice. I've often wondered why Lucasi cues are not more popular. I have several and they are very popular with visitors to my table. They are attractive and not overly expensive. I used them as my player for a time before I had my first custom cue.

For many years I owned, drove, raced and maintained a 1974 Alfa Romeo. I think about 2/3 of everything under the hood was 10mm. I'd be afraid to guess how many of those sockets were still trapped in there somewhere when I sold the car.

This is disturbing!

Not exactly a direct answer to your particular question, but a perhaps obvious observation: assuming the pocket size is the same, or close to the same on the two tables, the side pocket represents a larger percentage of the rail on a 7 foot table, and thus could be less forgiving. Your...

Don't worry about a 'special cue' for breaking. The only reason I don't break with my shooting cue is that I'm concerned about mushrooming the tip sooner with the hard breaks. Just pick up any house cue with a decent tip and fairly straight and use that for your 'break cue' .

That will likely impede your stance, but not necessarily impede the cue.

Shift change at NWS office.

Glad to see you back!

Yes, John had a political disagreement with YouTube, so switched all his posted videos to Rumble some time ago. I see that he maintains his primary website, but his updates mostly appear as videos on this Rumble channel.

This is my current shooter and 'go to' cue. It was the second I bought from John at Coos Cues. https://rumble.com/v1l4hhh-birds-eye-bocote-and-pheasantwood.html

If you aren't already familiar with John Chaplin at Coos Cues, you may enjoy seeing his work. https://www.cooscues.com/ https://rumble.com/c/cooscues I have two of his cues. They are beautiful and functional. I'm very glad I discovered John.

My dad once told me that 'getting old is not for sissies'. At the age of 75, I now understand what he meant.

One could surmise that a skillset at this level comes along once every 96 years.

Perhaps Disney and 'The Onion' have merged? Don't see much to differentiate here.

I switched about a year ago from a CF shaft to a maple Kielwood. I made the switch primarily because the wood was so much more visually appealing than the CF. I expected that I'd soon go back to the CF, but I have not. As for the deflection, I think I can see that the CF was actually a little...

Update after 'full' recovery and new reading glasses. I just picked up my new glasses. As it turned out, I needed a little help with up close for reading and computer, while far vision was corrected sufficiently with the surgery. I elected to get 'gradational' bifocal lenses, with photo sun...

I think the most beautiful production Ferrari ever was the Daytona (either coupe or spyder). I think the model was 365?

Got to be the JB Aston Martin DB. It was a 'top of the line' Aston Martin, and still quite collectible. But the Ferraris in Miami Vice and Magnum were not 'top of the line' models.

This is especially true at 'roundabouts'. Don't get me started. Too many drivers treat roundabouts like 4 way stop signs.

There are options, and I expect there are variations on the procedure. The way it was explained to me: there is a set of 'standard' replacement lenses which can essentially restore your vision to something similar to how it was before cataracts. In my case, I was told that I could have...
