I hear you. I'm not trying to emulate goofiness, not arbitrarily anyway- I do think it is useful to experiment, and I do but since a loose grip is one that's appealed to me over time, for various reasons, what wobbly said clicked with me if anything, I find myself gravitating towards a tighter...

never thought very much about varying grip gap, not in such a purposeful way..but I like it! thanks(y)

appreciate the response. definitely not expecting to replace something that can only be replaced by itself, and agree "progress" is a double-edged sword- but I feel comfortable erring on efforts to be more independent, sustainable, and healthy. explain what you mean about the water table, pls?

well put :) glad you had fun tho! catch you down the road yea- best back, to you and your fam, sean

not an instructor 8-10" is what I've generally seen recommended but that/wherever you put your hands can be affected by cue balance, especially if you use an open bridge as you suggest, arm/cue length also has something to do with where your hands want to go in my experience, we can mostly adapt...

dig around and you'll find plenty of founded doubt to this idea. regardless of what's happened over the past few million years, what were doing now is what's now at steak... I can relate, but don't think it's all fluff, as not all our basic needs are met- I think many of us (especially those...

welcome to the forums- looks like you've done some good research I've been to all of the places you've mentioned multiple times, tho only ox and am21 in the past few months each place has its pros and cons, some of which you've noted- if your goal is to play "serious" pool, there is only one...

I've been hunting before :) anytime you want to debate, I'm around. enjoy-

that's not the worst-case scenario.. read my post above, I'm not a politician and I don't have an agenda, unless you count genuinely caring for our collective fate as that. I've personally met many good farmers, and I get food from farms when I can. again, I'm just asking, what if we depended...

right..again, the animals wouldn't exist in the first place, if not for our intervention. it's a circular argument to say that if we stop intervening, they would cease to exist. right? I'm not saying we should outlaw or even give up animal farming..there are a lot of good farms out there...

so raising cattle (often in horrible, painful circumstances) purely for our consumption is justified because if we didn't they'd go extinct- ? logic cuts all ways.

*animals that were already alive would have more of a chance to live- ? I surely wasn't counting animals that are raised in the first place specifically for the products they provide.. otherwise, with fewer than 1000 cows, that would be a lot fewer greenhouse gas emissions, the overall effects...

byproduct ok. but even if some entity isn't paying for the "meat," they're also paying for the byproduct, tho almost certainly less. my point is, even byproduct commerce is contributing to the demise of the animal, even if only in some small way. it all adds up. but yea, if we could reduce our...

sounds fun, I'd try it out. vulcanized rubber is good enough for table cushions, anyway-

how do you figure? I honestly don't know, but it's logical that if we don't need animals dead, we're less likely to kill them.

a little update, with larry/bbb's (smart) suggestion to use a stripe ball as a cb to observe spin, I set up the pictured shot a bunch of times- results were as follows: the "extra" (outside) spin I thought I was somehow getting from using the inside spin doesn't exist. appears just to be...

appreciate the engagement. think I said so in another thread, but I think the digiball is a terrific idea- best of luck with it! (and good thing you didn't name or color the ball blue, otherwise the jokes might be non-stop..)

cool! might what's coming out of the vent holes (heat?) affect the construction/play of the cb? for color, how about blue? blue and white seem to jibe with your avi motif, anyway-

not on this shot, but I appreciate the reminder to try playing without sidespin, since I often play with it I think when I originally shot with inside, I was using a good bit of draw and killed the cb some I think that helped the cb filter into position instead of taking off, but I'm not...

hi bob, yours is a good question, and one I do think about. I'm just trying to learn about spin effects I'm not already understanding of.
