    Standard Shafts with no or low deflection?

    Every cue has deflection (sic., squirt). Most probably, what is happening here is that the natural pivot point (look it up) of your particular shaft falls (happily) right at your normal bridging distance, which in my opinion, is the ideal amount of squirt for a shaft to have. A different...

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    Frankly, if I see another "OB/CB Last" poll, I might not vote again either. Instead of being an intelligent exchange of ideas and options, this turned into a "oh man, you're obviously stupid" religious war. Next time, I'll pass.

    Will AzB Be Here in 2020?

    In 2020 AZB will still be here, and we will still be arguing over 1. aiming systems, 2. the "best"cue, tips, chalk 3. do LD shafts really work, 4. do you look at the OB or the CB last, 5. FHE or BHE or PE 6. Glove or no glove 7. Light or heavy cue for the break 8. Etc., etc...

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    ????? So you started the thread because of something someone posted within the thread?? How does that work? I can understand curiosity in diverse opinions, but why do some of you insist that there is only one "right" way? Like I said in my first post, and as I continue to say, you do what...

    Getting a house

    Just enough for an 8ft; a little tight for a 9ft for some shots on the rail.

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    Bad analogy. A better one is, Does a batter look at the pitched baseball last, or the fence? Or Does a golfer look at the golf ball last, or the hole?

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    I miss both ways, just less so when I look at the CB last. Who says I'm not focussed on the OB path? I am, to the best of my ability. I simply do that first, and the CB last. The OB being on the correct path to the pocket depends on the CB being on the correct path to the ghost ball. But...

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    Arguments for looking at the CB last I look at the OB first to set my aim line. Once my bridge is planted, I look at the CB. 1. If my aim line was correctly set to start with, I don't need to see the OB last. (It is not moving from where I last saw it!) 2. Monitoring the CB last (or...

    If you ever catch me wearing a pool glove...

    I wear a glove all the time, and carry one in my brief case when traveling. There are several reasons: They can be cheap: cost about 50 cents on EBay Even the cheap ones work and last forever. You don't need talc. My pool hall does not offer it. You get a consistent feel in all weather...

    You've Been Warned-Pre Ban Ivory

    I was researching Narwhal tusks. I did not realize how strictly they are controlled in some countries like the US, while properly-harvested and tagged tusks are perfectly legal in other countries like Gernany or China. Even where legal, the harvest tag must always be present, or the...

    How to Use the Masse' Shot to Curve Around Obstructing Balls

    Good video, thanks for posting. I use a full spectrum of curving shots, from slight squerving to full-on masse. I'm no expert, and it is a matter of feel, but everyone should be adding these shots to their repertoire. My regular opponent does not even try to use them (to his disadvantage). 😃
