    Interesting article on the decline of Bowling

    See NY Times article from 2000 that states: Thanks largely to NASA-like advances in bowling-ball technology and the more liberal application of lubricants upon lane surfaces -- by bowling center proprietors seeking to enliven a game of fickle popularity -- the number of perfect games has...

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    My avatar is a Time Crystal tip. They are pretty with the transparent layer. I find them difficult to replace, however, because the plastic black pad made it hard for me to glue and it was slippery. I tried to only remove the blue tip, keep the clear and black layers on the ferrule, but that...

    90-degree proposition cut shot

    The shot that the posters are referring to is from this post: And refers to how to pocket the 1-ball in the side pocket: In video you shot maybe twenty times and pocketed ball or collided with ball to pocket maybe twice? There were several that were on path to the side pocket. So . . . ...

    Elkmaster Milk dud tips, real or just hype???

    Besides the PoolDawg site selling Milk Duds at $12 a tip, so, too, does another pooldog, PoolDawg8. His are a lot cheaper at $3 each and $6 shipping. See discussion in 2019 to 2025 at https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/milk-dud-tips.503591/ And its the same price noted in December:

    How to make old carbon fiber shaft slick again.

    Predator does refinish (recharge) shafts for $80 including replacing tip. See photo below from their video showing the refinished shaft duller than shinier shaft sent to them. See https://support.predatorgroup.com/h...06949594-Predator-Repairs-Returns-Information

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    For me, this was a big improvement over my 10.5mm Cynergy with its conical taper (the larger Cynergys have pro taper). The Cynergy 10.5mm shaft is 12.3mm diameter at 9"

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    Pro taper. My 10.5mm Rhino stays at 10.5mm for 9.5" from cue-tip bottom. It then increases to 11.3mm @ 12".

    Can’t get a straight, accurate answer from anyone. What is the story of this cue? Mispelled Mizerak (MiSerak)

    Becue Leonardo Balance System

    I figure the Becue problem of not-straight carbon-fiber shafts was a manufacturing problem. Do you? I suspect warping --- taking a straight CF tube and making it curved --- occurs rarely. For example,
