    Adam Cue Identification

    I picked up on of these off Ebay this past summer. I believe it is a DX8. I mated mine with a JFlowers carbon fiber shaft. I like how it plays in that configuration.

A union run "business" that is protected by the government regardless of their financial losses.There are zero repercussions to their failures and inability to provide the services...

    2025 Derby City Classic travel update

    That would be great. That area is confusing enough without having to deal with construction.

    League players pre-game rituals and venues.

    Try to work on lag speed. My home table is an 8 ft. The tables for the leagues I play in can be 7 ft., 8 ft. or 9 ft. depending on the location for that night. As you can imagine the tables play differently at each location.

    Turning wrist inwards during stroke. Need advice.

    I was able to find a brace today at Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mueller-Reversible-Wrist-Brace/5490588991?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1103&from=/search). Practiced a bit tonight with it. It provides good support and keeps my wrist stable. Also it is not heavy or thick in the palm area so...

    My first DCC trip this year

    Unfortunately Louisville has been on a steady decline for quite a while now. It's a shame. Downtown is the worst and it has been spreading outward and unchecked. Anyone staying in Louisville please be mindful of your surroundings. I drove a semi-truck for an LTL company for 17+ years in that...

    Turning wrist inwards during stroke. Need advice.

    I have done something similar to this except I used a section of a paint stir stick and an Ace wrap around style wrist support. Worked briefly this morning with the Ace support and the metal insert from an old carpal tunnel type wrist brace my wife found. Same concept but the metal insert is...

    My first DCC trip this year

    The event used to be held at the Executive West hotel (now the Crowne Plaza) in Louisville but moved to the Caesars Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana (in 2009?). From Louisville airport the trip shouldn't be too long but give yourself some extra time. The "spaghetti junction" area where you would...

    My first DCC trip this year

    As someone mentioned, the casino is pretty far from, well, anything!! Make sure to give yourself a little extra travel time to get there. One tip I would add is to eat before you go. There is food available but you are going to want to spend your time taking in the event.

    4 cues dinged up by visitors - repair?

    First thing: make sure these "visitors" never enter your home again. Second: Apparently an adult made the video of this willful damaging of your personal property. I would be contacting the children's parents for an explanation of why they thought this was acceptable behavior and to let them...

    Best break spot/technique for 7' 10 ball?

    I was experimenting with this just a few days ago. For my style of breaking I found that I got my best results from a straight on or very near straight on break. I have just started playing 10-ball so was needing to find my break "sweet spot". For me breaking from the side wasn't giving me the...

Bumper is black and...

    Update to thread: Ordered a Rhino break shaft this morning. Had some Amazon points built up that lowered the cost a bit. If shipping goes as planned I will be able to start testing it out early next week. Thanks to everyone for your input.
