I was about to write African Blackwood but Kickin' got it. I wonder if Geo could tell the difference between that and Ebony? Oak, Ash, Koa, Wenge, various Mahogany and at least four types of Rosewood. There are more and I'm not a real player so Jay or someone like that could really fill you in.

Look up Constantine's wood center. They sell a sample 50 piece box of veneers, size 4x9 inch. $29.95 Some quite exotic and rare. But the truth is it still a guess many times. I took a McDermott butt from a M11B to SBE one year. I wanted to know what the wood was. It looks exactly like the Koa...

My apologies to Fran Crimi for having fat texting fingers and not proof reading.

Fifty two years ago it's reported that President Johnson said about the Vietnam War, "if I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America" Well if you've lost Fran Chimi, you've lost all instruction. Just how many top tier instructors will you ignore or argue with when they go out of their way to...

Expect emails or PM's from Dr. Cues Protege, Jamie and whatever name Justin is using today, requesting lessons. But only for $8. an hour, no travel expenses, split the table time.

While it might feel very weird at first, it may be easier than you think. I was at a fly fishing school. Late the second day my right elbow and shoulder became very sore. I switched to the left. Whoa, I was casting further and more accurately than ever on the right. The instructor explained...

I go on a week long ski trip to Lake Tahoe. I ski all day and sleep all night. My buddy skis all day and gambles most of the night. He's up and down all week. Walking through the corridor in the Reno airport on the way home he takes his last five Silver dollars, stick's them in a slot for one...

DCP, do you have a son named Justin?

Showing grace in defeat shows just how much class you really have. A lesson that many detractors here could learn from. God bless, love the book

I walk into my basement and there is a germ free GC IV. Trouble is all of the tables in the three pool halls within ten miles also have 9' tables. I want to practice on a bar table too. Not for bar tournaments but because I run into so many little tables on the road. I tour on motorcycle...

The Blue Ridge Parkway, because of traffic load should be one of the safest roads you could ride. It's not. Riders look at the scenery and whoops, off the road they go. Yes even on the straight sections. But I digress. If a 500 pound MC goes where you look, which you admit in a turn, why, given...

Evergruven, yeah that's sort of my point. CB equals trees. What got me to post was DCP's statement about motorcycle riding. Missing a 8 ball is nothing more than a game. Missing a turn on a bike or ski's can kill you. When going into a turn on a bike you have to be looking through the turn to...

All this $20.-$80. is bs. I'll tell you who or what the real nit is. It's those posters who keep coming back to the same question, day after day and years apart, expecting different answers. Just like the sun will set in the west there are basic things that are certain.

Evergruven, my point in skiing the trees is to look where you want to go. DCP said on a prior page, "I don't believe the cue goes where your eyes go" He also said "I don't believe my motorcycle is going into the ditch if I look over into the ditch" I would suggest that Mr. DCP take the...

I like nice things too but... For $76.40 you can buy a Rage break cue. Or for about 200. more a nice Pechauer, Joss, McDermott etc. break cue. It's another $600. on top of that for the Mezz. Will that money buy you even one mph more speed? Or for $349. you can buy a BreakRAK. For $169. more...

Larry, I suspect this was resurrected to break Randy's balls. Or maybe Scott's. Anyway it's a troll.

I am a much better motorcycle rider and even better at skiing than pool player. But I can guarantee you this... You never, ever, look at the trees when skiing the trees. You look where you want to go. Unless you want to join Sonny Bono. Scott, times are tough, why bother?

Randy? Randy? No freakin' body has a problem with Randy.

If someone doesn't think that Scott is world class in his specific field they haven't worked with many instructor's. Or perhaps can't follow the SPF path. Kind of like asking a question here and rejecting all the answers.

I'll bet that if SVB broke a rack or two on your GC IV it would change your mind. It's the Indian not the table.
