Worth a try. I'll give it a chance in the morning and get back to you with my results. Appreciate the input.

I'm a long time player but recently I picked up the drill instructors position and speed control book, The very first drill is a progressive drill for practicing the stop shot at different positions around the table. As the drill gets harder (more distance between cue ball and object ball) I...

has anyone tried this? I like the sounds of it, but a little gun shy on putting a couple hundred dollars into it without asking around first.

Has anyone given this a thought? I can't really find much about it other than the couple sentences about it on his website. Can't decide it I should spend the 30 bucks or put it towards something else.

Right, I work as a machinist, I could more than likely make the insert, but having a hard set of dimensions is always easier than trying to do precision guess work. Everything functions as it should, I've actually pondered the idea of removing the brass insert from the current shaft to have it...

I wasn't aware that was a viable option.

That looks pretty spot on to what I'm working with. Now that I know what it is, could anyone point me in the direction of where I might be able to find the specs needed to try and make the female portion of this? Friend of mine has some sentimental attachment to the cue albeit sort of beat up...

Everything I have come across says this company uses 5/16x18 on their cues but this is not like any I have seen. It's some type of quick release pin. I currently only have this one poor quality picture. I will attach an additional one as soon as I get a chance to take one myself. Just seeing...

A friend from my league team is biting the bullet and buying a new player. He has never bought a cue and usually goes for someone elses hand me downs. He said he has a 200 dollar limit. So if anyone has anything decent in that price range let me see what you have.

That's what I was thinking, and yes the spindle bore is odd sized compared to what I've run through work in the past. As far as what size exactly I can't say yet.

I found this buried in the garage of an old man at a yardsale this weekend. Asked him about it and he told me his arthritis is so bad that he can't use it anymore, and that I was welcome to it at no cost as long as I could put it to good use and move/haul it myself. I took a few minutes looking...

I've been talking to Coach Lee Brett on facebook and we have arranged something for mid May. In the meantime I've delved into the VEPPs series by Dr Dave to get some new ideas on practice drills, and i've been focusing on staying focused on the game instead of my frustration after a missed...

Good question, however what I meant was in practice I'm much more consistent I have my ups and downs like any other time, but the exaggeration of the ups or the downs aren't as extreme as my matches from one week to the other. I've gotten a couple PM's on here and I've reached out to Coach Lee...

I'm sure to a degree that my fundamentals aren't perfect. I was never properly taught how to stand or line up a shot, it's just something I've taught myself, and I'm sure that has something to do with some of my missed shots. I'm looking to meet with a professional instructor in the near future...

Definitely a step in the right direction, Thank you.

I'm struggling with inconsistencies in my game. In practice I shoot about the same all the time. When it comes to my league matches one week I will absolutely spank someone 2 handicaps above me and then the following week I'm the one getting spanked. It's like a Jekyll and Hyde of pool. I've...

Recently I purchased my very own repair lathe from Todd over at Midamericapool First thing, he is great to deal with, very willing to help with any information possible. Anyway, upon receiving my lathe I got everything set up and started playing with a purple heart break shaft I had laying...

I'm new to cue repair. I just recently purchased a lathe and I have an OB2 shaft that appears to be in good shape, however the fiber pad looks as if a small chunk of it was taken out when the tip came off. I've never replaced one, and although it appears fairly straight forward I figured I...

I've got an original OB2 shaft on my player that has a slight roll to it, I'm in the market to upgrade to a newer shaft. I've taken a liking to the feel of the predator shafts. I'm looking for a Z2 or Z3 shaft with a 3/8x10 pin I would like the collar to match the ob stitched collar, but I...

Who is Todd? Not familiar with that name on here.
