    Alignment problem

    I need to try that. I also suspect I'm subconsciously steering the cue ball to produce a fuller hit when I get lined up properly, since my body is so used to hitting those shots with outside english. Can't tell you how many times I drove the ball into the rail. Think I need to reprogram my...

    Alignment problem

    Last week while practicing a long straight in draw shot, I discovered I naturally address the cue ball a hair outside. I believe this is a carry over from my younger days where I used outside english to assist in aiming ( and as you know, outside engish is the most frequently used type for...

    Players sneaky pete - what do you guys think?

    That's what I've read. I was all set to save up for a Pred Sneaky with the uniloc too. How about this Players with a Pred shaft? Or a Schmelke with a Pred?

    Players sneaky pete - what do you guys think?

    Thanks. Dumping all my cash into the restoration of my table at the moment, and my main playing cue, which is a Players, isn't in terrific shape, so I'm just looking for something to hold me over for a few months until I can afford a Schon or Pred. That said, I'm intrigued by Schmelke. Many...

    Players sneaky pete - what do you guys think?

    Considering it. I don't really like the style of the cheap McDs, because they're all stained, and the ones that aren't don't have wrap, which I prefer. This one is probably my 3rd choice: http://www.ozonebilliards.com/mcpocuevepla.html It's stained, but at least it's a classic color...

    Players sneaky pete - what do you guys think?

    One last cue I'd like you guys to look at it before I make my BIG (150.00 or less) purchase :D http://www.ozonebilliards.com/plcuesnpesp.html I'm pretty used to a Players, the only cue I ever really played with, only thing I could afford in my teens. (an aside: I got ripped off. Since, I knew...

    Testing the straightness of your draw and follow strokes...

    I was working on 5 and 6 diamond length straight in draw and follow shots tonight, and was somewhat inconsistent. I'd find the shot and lose it again. I determined I wasn't sighting the vertical plane of the cue ball properly. I had no problem firing in these long shots at a good speed using...

    Schmelke cues--differences between models?

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all your input in my 100-150 dollar cue thread. After some thought, I'm thinking of going with this Schmelke: http://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schmelke/schmelke_m2b.htm Before I make the purchase, I'd like to ask if any of you have had experience with this cue or if...

    The archive feature is very helpful, but the only drawback is the questioner can't actively participate in the discussion. Plus, you might only find part of the answer in a thread that doesn't deal with the specifics of your question, but might be somehow indirectly related. But I agree with...

    Best cue in the 100-150 price range?

    I would love to have that cue, but he says he won't do biz through the mail. :( I'll hit up that forum later in the week and see if anyone wants to part with something in my range.

    Best cue in the 100-150 price range?

    Elite: http://www.pooldawg.com/brand/elite/pool-cues/1 Good looking cue. BTW, does anyone know of an online retalier who offers the option to change tips other than Ozone? Platinum and Dawg have a wider selection of discount cues, but don't offer that option. Mechanics who have high-end tips...

    Best cue in the 100-150 price range?

    Well, just inspected my cue right now (the cue ball has been feeling like a two pound ball bearing--I thought it was simply due to the cold weather), and I've discovered the joint is loose. Guess I subconciously knew something was wrong, because I've been searching for a great deal for the...

    Earl Strickland in his prime

    In light of all the discussions of how Earl has lost his top gear, I'm wondering just how good he was at 9 ball in his prime. Strickland has always been my favorite player, since he was the winner of the first match I ever saw on TV. The '91 World Championship against Nick Varner. But those...
