I used to play with my index and middle fingers but I changed it up after playing around with different techniques. I find that I can stay more relaxed by using the middle fingers and I clench up less often with that grip. I think it's just a matter of preference but you never know when a...

Hey Lance, That's a pretty tough question but I'd have to say that at the time action was good at Hard Times, that was probably the toughest room in the country. In addition to the road players, the locals were just plain tough action. There was Keith Mcready, Morro Paez, Ernesto Domingez...

Hi sharpshooter, I actually don't recall my feelings during money games when I first started. I can remember that I started off playing for $2 per game, that was it. No more, no less. After I got bored of that I would look to play for $3 per game, then $5 per game then so on. I can remember...

Hey Alex thanks. I hope you had a good holiday. I'm going to miss the Swanee tournament unfortunately. You're going to have to snap it off for me ;)

Thanks Dana! I'll see you there :)

Couldn't say for sure when or if I'll be moving back to SD. At this point I'm doing so much traveling that it wouldn't matter where I lived anyway. I'll be back for a visit in the spring. I'm sure I'll be over at On Cue to say hi and hit some balls.

Happy holidays ledrums, I personally like to hold the cue just tight enough that it doesn't slip during my stroke. The actual tension may change depending on how hard or soft I'll be hitting the ball. For example, if I'm going to shoot a 2 foot stop shot, the amount of tension needed to keep...

Yes, Dave Whitsell made that shaft for me. I didn't bother with having him match up the rings. It's a conventional shaft, not a low deflection.

Dana Bufalo put up a picture of me with the cue under the threat titled "good luck at turning stone". Not much to look at. No inlays and light ring work. I think the wood is called Alvis.

Thank you very much and a Merry Christmas to you too :)

Go Pops! I just want to see the cue stroke when he flexes. You have to post a picture of his neat head. It's been a long time since I've seen him and I understand he's the forth member of ZZ Top.

Hi Melissa! Welcome to the forum. It's good to have you here :) Louis

That story is absolutely true and actually quite funny how it came about. When I was about 20, I was going through a frustrating time where no matter what I did I just couldn't seem to beat anyone. After a bad match and in a fit of rage I offered my SW, case and break cue to the highest...

Hey John thanks! I don't see how you think you dodged a trap... I think we played about 100 games of ten ball and I was up like 3 games by the end of the day. You are jam up my friend. No way we'll be playing any more of that one hole anytime soon! ;) Hope to see you at the derby!

You must have watched my last match! :rolleyes: This is pretty good timing because I just got through losing to Dennis Hatch 8-3 and I played so bad that it looked like I've never played before. How I feel right now is absolutely terrible. The voices in my head are telling me what an idiot I...

Thank you guys for the kind words. I'm glad that you enjoy what I have to offer and I hope that you can get something out of it to improve your game. Chat at you later. Let me know if you run into anything that you need some help with. :D

More than likely he is.

Shane is using a standard break from the box. He's just really good at it. His timing through the ball is very precise and this is where the effortless appearance comes from. That's hundreds of hours of break practice that he has put in to achieve that. The reason the cue ball jumps back off...

Oh boy the dreaded 10 ball break! Just lately I have been spending a lot of time with the 10 ball break and so far I have not mastered it. Making a ball is the biggest problem and I have discussed this with many other players and the general issue that there are no dead balls in the rack...

Hey there Lancy Poo! Nice to see you on here. Just don't tell 'em about the time... ;)
