    Shaft Dent Help

    I have taken out 100's of dings working at the pool room. Heres my method. 1> rough up the area of the ding with 400 sand paper. If you don't open the grain...the next step won't work. 2> for small dings...wet a small piece of paper towel and place over the ding for about 1/2 an hour. For...

    Do You Think It's Time to tighten up BB's?

    i think the general point of the OP is being missed. BB should be tightened up for tourneys, and national events. BB in the bar should have backhoe bucket sized pockets so people can have fun and owners can make money. I for one don't want to watch great players on far too easy equipment.....I...

    tip trimming

    Careful with it Sam, but I trip my tips with a razor knife when my cutter is dull, then a fine tooth file. My best tool is a cutter blade I took out of a slitting machine. It is a piece of hardened 1/8" steel about 12" long with a razor edge on one side. I set it flat on the shaft and angle it...

    Like To See 15 Ball Rotation On TAR

    I'm going down to the pool room this weekend to drop off a ball cleaner and I m going to write down all the rules to "61" Also when your turn is over you put your balls in the tray or ball holder, and the Phillipino guys always group them by "10's" to make it easier to keep count....also when...

    Position Drills for 9 Ball

    I learned 9ball by throwing out 3 balls with the cueball and running them off. When I could do this with ease I added another ball....etc. then you need to put in some time on the break....start by hitting it 1/2 speed working on CB control only! don't concern yourself with making balls....just...

    I have never understood "feel"...

    Feel is obviously subjective, BUT....IMO feel is the thought or sensation that happens just after any action....be it bowling, tennis, pool, golf etc.....feel is what our body tells our brain about what just happened....then our noggin can figure out what to do about it! G.

    in the chair...and positive thinking...

    MAN!....you can get into all kinds of ego based stuff that will leave your brain numb trying to figure all this out. Some of the best thoughts I try to keep with me while sitting in the chair are.... 1. No matter what is happening right now....I am somehow going to win this match. forget the...
