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

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...

You enjoy WATCHING one-pocket. (Sorry if that's a repeat.)

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.

I have no review, but why would this be better - or better-looking - than a regular glove?

Jack Albertson, Paul Newman, Elvis? (Owned a table), Bob Hope, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S Grant, Benjamin Franklin, Marie Antoinette.

What are the times? I might drop in. Is there a spectator fee?

I respect Mr. Wiley's talents. I enjoy reading his posts, even when I don't fully understand what he is trying to say. Thread titles perpetually posed as "questions" get tiring, but that is a small complaint.

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.)

Even if the pivot point changes an inch either way, the original mark will still be a useful reference.

It is inexpensive, easy and handy. That's good. It will wear off in time. Not great, but not a big deal.

I like this idea as well. I may try this next time.

I routinely mark my shafts when I find the natural pivot point. I have used ink and paint, but the ink and paint eventually wear off. Most recently, I have set a small rhinestone into the wood. It non-obvious, but easy to see if you know where to look.

good observation. Goes for golf, too.

Say it three times fast...

I believe you, but why, oh why? So 8-ball can be played on snooker tables? These balls won't work on tables designed for 2 1/4" balls. The rails are too high for proper banking.

Valley 8-ft Black Cat coin-operated bar box, with the ball trap disabled. During the last recover, I deepened the throats on the pockets and I tightened the pockets with extended ridgeback rails. I also added sound insulation to the box.

I'm not sure how to interpret your poll question, so I did not vote there. I line up the shot on center of CB to center of Ghost Ball. If I need English, I bridge on the natural pivot point and use back hand English pivoting on the bridge.

Without a robot doing the testing on lots of samples, I won't trust any of the subjective ratings very much. Even the "same" cue by the same maker will have a range of variation. Some standard deviations will be larger than others.

I love to play 1p and to watch pros play 1p. I'm no good at it, but I like it. I am getting good at leaving the cue in the "armpit" when necesssary.
