By that logic, we would play with hollowed out cheap butts or maybe even disposable butts. How does the shaft help one make the ball and the butt not? Are they two distinct parts working independently during cueball contact?

To me the idea that only the shaft matters is analogous to saying the engine is the only thing that matters in a performance car. Like Joey says, why would engineers spend time in wind tunnels if only the engine mattered?

First played around age 7 or 8, it would have been at a neighbor's house. I enjoyed it but wasn't hooked. My parents bought a table when I was 17, though I played I still wasn't hooked. At 22, I took a pool class in college and and got hooked. I started playing 4-5 nights a week. My...

Thanks for the update. I am in Pinellas and visited there once in 2014. The tables were old and it didn't seem a players' room. Do you know if it still has a non-smoking section? And are the tables new?

Congratulations to you Dr. Dave, and thanks for all you do for the sport.

Respectfully, I don't know of any pool player who kicks as well as Efren. It might not even be close. To be fair, players jump much more now so kicking ability has diminished.

Rest in peace sir. I never got to meet Michael I person even though I live in his area. His passion for pool was obvious and he will be missed here.

Signs of the apocalypse...

Sigel Strickland Bustamante It's these three I enjoy watching the most.

Look out...I think the collective odds for the rest of the field just dropped. Love watching Little Ko play and look forward to seeing the youngest one play also.

I'm pretty sure it was. I saw Deuel use it a few times against Woodward. One attempt resulted in terrible spread that looked like a one pocket layout, and Deuel still managed to run out.

I look forward to seeing him play more. First saw him at the Intl. 9 Ball Open last fall and noticed how solid his mechanics were. I think he has the best fundamentals of any American player now.

I'm in the camp that doesn't like them but realistic enough to know they'll stick around. They are a highlight-reel factor in the game. I notice players on adjacent tables usually tend to watch any player whether good or bad attempting to jump. And of course spectators and commentators tend...

In the rotation games, I see more players using open bridges. I feel this is due to the required accuracy on tighter tables. It could also simply be more Europeans in the big tournaments who have snooker backgrounds. Either way, I do notice that difference.

Great news sir! You are a strong man. Here's to you getting back to the table soon.

Michael Coltrain Watched a match tonight with Coltrain playing Steve Knight from the 2000 World Championship. He was certainly a talent. Sadly I could see his shoulder shaking heavily on a few shots. He had a very pretty stroke.

Classic, that Budweiser is great. Should make us all wanna hit a bar box 8 ball weeknight tourney with no case in tow!

I am still shooting with the correct end of the cue, so memory is somewhat intact!

Thanks for the tips. Yeah I do think it's caused by hand sweat in some way.

I'll give the wax option a try. I don't leave my cue in the car so not sure where I am getting moisture buildup. Will try wiping it down during play also.
