Absolutely ! This is THE right way. IMHO, there should be no other answer. This also reduces arguments from my experience. I agree it seems to reduce air-barrels, it may however leave the winner stuck for a bar tab, table time and walking money ;) Possible exception would be very small stakes...

No trades. Updating the original post as well.

PM's To address the PM's about the cue's straightness, I had mentioned only in an earlier post that all segments roll straight; apart and together. One shaft is 100% true and the other I would call 99%+ but has the slightest taper roll. It's there, but even those with very discriminating...

Stalev Dave, Did you mean Evgeny Stalev? -Ivan

No access to a digital scale ... my2564, I'd love to be able to tell you, I don't have access to the type of scale that would be accurate enough (kitchen scale weighs each shaft around 4-1/8) or going to a high enough weight (an acquaintance loaned me a "hand scale" that showed in excess of...

My bad, didn't read the last entry.

PM's For those of you PM'd me in the last few days, please check your inboxes. Thanks :)

VERY Solid About a week ago, Doug let me hit some balls with this cue. The hit is very solid (so much so, it's almost like a 1 piece), stiff and clean. I'm rather impressed that the cue has Myrtlewood in it, too. Beautiful stuff in turned wood like bowls and such. I've never seen it in a cue...

The whole 1st page tells a ton ... Legend2k4, Many posters have mentioned some very viable ideas. "Act as if" and "fake it til you make it" are very similar. Also related is detached pantomime (imagine that your own body is simply a puppet to your will). A good breathing rhythm will also...

Makes me hungry ... Licorice, spearmint and wintergreen :eek:

Great Cases ... I've seen and held this case in person, the quality and condition is great. Personally, I don't think that there are better overall case designs than these; nearly airtight, hard pvc-type construction and very good leather work. That's probably the reason the newer cases are...

Purpleheart MATTY, If you aren't too attached to the Purplheart forearm, I have an Alves nosed one for sale. The link is in my signature. -Ivan

One More Slight variation to a previous view...

More Pics... Alternate pics:

Comet I know that from personal experience that Comet can create stains on phenolic pool balls. I remember the stains being reddish rather than yellowish, but it could be due to the brand. Best of luck in the removal, I do remember the ball polisher and floorwax remover taking most of the...

Flashback to age 5 hijack ... Jay, Between your story above and Rich's story about his $.25 soul (that he's done a great job of appreciating value) I just had a flashback to age 5, picking up a hand-buzzer (prank toy thing) on the floor at a Skaggs, it wasn't packaged, priced or anything...

100th Post !!! I'm gonna celebrate 100 posts with a ... ... ... ... bump

Ramon ?!?!?!?!? I'd be scared to eat "Ramon noodles:eek:", I don't know who he is/was. Now, if Ramon is a cook who makes ramen noodles, I suppose it'd be ok if he washes his hands...

Object in motion, friction and imperfect elasticity ... If Dr Dave or Bob J chime in that would be good, but I'm sure the answer will be something like: The rails are not adding speed to the cue ball, rather the rails are giving back more than other tables that these players are used to...
