Oh man, that had all the elements.

Evgeny Stalev has a really powerful break, as well, for a small guy. His cue is about 45 degrees, similar to Xiao-Ting, except he has an extremely long follow through.

Evgeny Stalev, maybe not the top, but certainly surprising considering his size. I don't really know why, it has to be coordination.

I've noticed a lot of ambiguity in the definition of this term locally, as such, I'm petitioning the editor of Ambrose Bierce's DEVIL'S DICTIONARY to include a defition of "call shot". CALL SHOT (adj.) - A term used by barroom pool guru's and table lawyers to indicate that the simple shot you...

I pray night and day for a sarcastic font. Unfortunately, all my calls to Microsoft are met with, "We're too busy eating crow over this Vista affair!" and "How did you get my home number?" For now, I suppose I'll settle with Palatino Linotype as my sarcastic font... or my porn name... I've yet...

Here's how you do it: First, soak a large towel in lighter fluid, preferably the type you would use to start a charcoal grill, but anything that has at least three warnings on it saying, "DANGER! FLAMMABLE!". Second, while the shaft is still wet, locate any dings or scratches on the shaft, the...

I don't have it yet, estimated to be here by the end of February/beginning of March. I'll be sure to post up a review after I've gone through a few racks with it. By the way, if you're thinking of ordering one -- even though I don't have mine yet -- I would definitely suggest Mr. Starkey, his...

You should try sending him a PM, his username is Varney Cues. He's usually very quick in his response.

I've often wondered the same thing. I prefer a wood to wood joint, myself, and recently ordered a cue from Chuck Starkey (desi2960), a forum member who makes cues with a wooden pin, to see how I like it. His prices are very reasonable and his reviews are all very positive, so if this is...

Talk to Kevin Varney (Varney Cues), Chuck Starkey (desi9260), Brent Hartman (BHQ), or J.W. Petree (Petree Cues) on this board. In that price range any one of them will build you a cue to your specs.

I play a decent safety game, and would offer the following suggestions: 1) At first, focus only on moving either the object ball or the cue ball. If you try to put both of them in very specific spots, it gets difficult. If you can play a stop shot and send the object ball behind something...

No Cash Value

If I had in that range, I would get this cue: Because it lookes effing sweet. Page for it is here: http://www.platinumbilliards.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_137_142&products_id=1001653

Hey there, Mr. Neu, I sent you a PM but I'm unsure if you received it or not. Could you tell us/me a little bit about the cue you had Dennis Dieckman build you? I've seen a few pictures of it but I'm unsure of how it operates and what differentiates it from normal masse cues.

Nope, bank shots only.

The best compliment I've ever received was from the person who taught me basically everything I know about pool. He never pays compliments, just corrects you when you are wrong. I made what I thought was a decent safety play and he looked at me and said, "Nice shot, Matt." I almost fell down.

I'm the exact opposite -- left handed and right eye dominant. However, I don't tilt my head strangely when shooting. I'll have to look into it a bit further, but I'm almost positive that when I shoot I'm focusing on the contact point with my left eye.

I really enjoy watching Stalev play. Thanks for posting this.

Q. How many disgruntled AZBer's does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A. Three. One to screw it in, a second to post "LOLz he only put the bulb in cuz w/o it we cant see the cuez hes sellin..........lamer kthnxbye." And the third to nod quietly and lend credibility to the second's ignorance.
