I just watched the videos. The one with the high speed camera states that there WAS overspin. It states that plainly. It also shows the mark on the bottom of the cueball move back away from the mark on the table instead of staying with it while the ball moved over it. It also states...

Focusing on the aim point while getting down is really good. Try this for grins... After you've done that, and are down, do a few practice strokes, paying REAL close attention to where your tip is positioned. (use your normal eye pattern for this) When you're sure it's where you want it, then...

People bet on golf all the time. It has big sponsors, and is regarded as a gentlemen's game. I don't gamble much, and have not used it to improve my game. Occasionally I do gamble, but it's when I am wanting to play someone who won't play unless we bet something. (My wife wishes I would do...

I've not played 'Baseball' but I have played the rest. One ball is very challenging, as is cribbage.

Johnnyt- When talking about shimming a pocket, yes, pocket facings are what is used to shim your pocket. I would agree that you should NOT cut the cloth. Unstapling is the best option. The staples you'll use are going to be from a electric staple gun, and not by a hand held gun, so unless...

This is similar to the outrage that came after shaft jumping was not allowed due to the damage it was causing. If your game is so dependent on the equipment you are using, and not your own ability, maybe you should consider taking up another sport. There are many, many alternatives to...

Ceilings under 6 feet? Wow. I'm 5'10" and I'd be afraid of hitting my head. Not to mention, jacking up a cue for any reason. /just sayin....

Actually.. On the side of most adjustable wrenches it will give you the measurement. 6 In., 10 In., etc. On the other side, it has it in millimeters. So you could argue that there are metric adjustable wrenches.. Now if I could just get a left handed screw driver, I'd be all set.

I'm not sure we're on the same page here Scott.... I've gone back and read your comment that I posted about. I went back and re-read the comment that you posted about. Nothing in either one said anything about 'Once upon a time'. I apologize if you felt I was attacking you. I was not. I...

For the longest time, (+15 years) I used Moori medium. This last year I switched over to Kamui hard. I have been very happy indeed. I switched just to try it out. I had heard a lot of mixed reviews, so I thought I'd see for myself. I do some cue repair, and this way I can give people a...
