    Easy way to measure an angle in degrees

    Math makes my head hurt. But 19 inches equal 19 degrees, yeah. Thanks one more time Bob.

    Trends in type of joint

    Totally subjective, I like the 3/8 pin. But then I'm not good enough to know better.

    Contact Point Offset Aiming

    I'd like to see this explored more. I had a full day lesson with Randy a few years ago on off-set aiming and it just did not take. I am a very visual/concrete thinker. Strangely enough the off set for cutting the OB frozen to the rail did work and I use it regularly. I guess because the rail is...

    Thank you Bob Jewett

    A long time coming but a big thank you to Bob Jewett. His links to progressive practice drills and now progressive run out drills with Dr. Dave have been a big help in giving me focused activity during the months in my basement. I've been clipping his columns for years adding them to my...

    Mezz EC9?

    BigFish, yeah most of my cues are right around 1.25. I do have a McDermott hustler that's a bit bigger and feels huge. My favorite is a Frey "True Sneaky" that's a 1/16 under and feels very thin. So little means so much. I know if I put in the time anything will work but 1.25 and under is...

    Mezz EC9?

    The butt, just above the bumper. 1.25 sounds right. It's the same as a Predator SP that I'm used too. So that should work. Thank you for measuring.

    Mezz EC9?

    The other Mezz thread got me going again. I had hoped to test drive, then buy a EC9 at SBE this past April. Now it's scheduled for late October but all things considered I don't know if it's safe to go. So, anyone with a EC9 could you give me the diameter at the butt? Also any thoughts on the...

    budget billiards shipping time

    I got a new cue a couple of weeks ago. Different store. I was given a tracking number which the Post Office immediately lost. A week and something later the tracking starts to work, then the cue arrived a day early. Shipping time, routes and arrivals are fantasy these days. It's all f'ed up...

    Mezz Cue ZZ-36

    I have a serious jones for a EC 9. Either in Rosewood or Blackwood, I can't decide. I like plain. Why would there be smart aleck remarks over a Mezz? Seems like a real good choice right now. I will not spend anymore money on a China product when it can be avoided.

    Quirky McDermott logo

    I have one of those, except it's not a sneaky, it's a 57" house cue. I bought it for guests. It also has a very weird hollow thunk sound when striking the balI. I have zero info about who or when they were made. It also says McDermott above the points. A China special I suspect. No where near a...

    Cue Lost by USPS - Should I Refund the Buyer

    Two threads, four pages so far this time. All it's told me is who to trust buying something from, and who to stay clear of. It's been most informative. Thanks for adding to my do not buy list.

    Mr. Wilson, Justinb386 here. Why do you call me a Scammer?

    Shawn, there's a Greek diner up in Matamoros, PA. Where you can get a baklava sundae. Heart clogging good.

    Wow, I thought it was a request to translate the Cowboys posts into English.

    Why would a Scammer choose the Billiard Industry as a way to scam people?

    Justin or not. I can't help but think of the many years the "world's foremost table mechanic" scammed table owners and then was defended right here. You think he's not still slithering around? Or another Jackpot special offer? Little hustlers and big hustlers out for their score. Only a few...

    What is your Age? Curious?

    70, and I look younger but feel older.

    What brand is this table?

    Jay knows a million times more about pool than I do. But I always thought that Connelly is proud of their tables. I never saw one without a name tag displayed

    New vs old valley tables?

    For trolling sake. I own and I don't care

    How long has the idea of a Carbon Fiber shaft been around?

    Fifty three years ago my first cue was, aluminum, all aluminum. Talk about ping. It never had a chance of replacing wood. Now carbon fiber. Only time will tell on its replacing wood. But something else will come along to give CF a run too. It does make a nice fishing rod. Camera tripods too. But...
