    Perfect Aim....Free Phone lessons..........

    perfect aim is helping after 2 weeks I have had serious issues with aim for all the decades I have played, even though I felt good about running 3+ racks of 14.1 quite a few years back. I have long been very aware of the dominant eye and I tended to blame my misses on a shift of dominant eye...

    60" (or longer) Cues ?

    reach cue Tried a lot of makeshift extensions lately as well as an asian snooker cue with a 5” and a long telescoping one. Did not like anything until I had the Nashville builder Alex Brick modify a cue for me. I used a cheap but good no-name steel joint 19oz 58” stick, took the weight bolt...

    Snooker players who shoot with cue under dominant eye

    a questionable assumption to me the assumption that cue under the middle of the chin means that the cue is centered between the eyes is questionable. if the stick were aligned under the belly button it would be clearly true. i think that it would take a good bend in the neck to put the face...

    Ash vs Maple -attributes

    ash vs maple i hear that nearly all top snooker players use ash....except for Hendry, who i think is is the top prize $$,$$$,$$$,$$$ winner of all time in all cue sports. I don't bet, but if i did i would bet that his maple cue hits ok. i like the idea that snooker players have not been as...

    Mosconi Affidavit

    Mosconi 526 run time. Hi fellow Mosconi fans, Mosconi said in an interview "just a little over 2 hours" but maybe there is some hyperbole there. I was lucky enough to see him play 3 exhibitions in about 1963. He played fast, wasted no time. He shot leftie very often, so much less use of the...

    5x10 snooker rails

    I am thinking of buying an old 5x10 snooker table here in the SE USA. I am in Nashville. I see quite a few available for $700 to $1200 within a few hundred miles drive. I am assuming that I would need new cloth and maybe a lot more. I see a really big difference in width of corner pockets...

    Cowboy Jimmy Moore - Obviously Using Center to Edge

    other players used "table pivot" :smile: Just my 2 cents worth here. There have been other good players who table pivoted, putting the tip waaay to the left and then magically delivering a normal stroke with good results. IMHO it had nothing to do with cte. I played 2 of these guys here in...
