    Help Needed - This May Require A Cuemaker or Machinist . . .

    I'm going to second the Dentist approach, provided you are on good terms. They should be able to easily use their handpiece to place some pins and then bond it all back together with some composite, provide they are clean breaks and all indexes back together well. Good Luck, Steve

    Here's Why Pro Dart's is Better Than Pro Pool.

    Looks like he is left handed and right eye dominant. I wonder what the dart forums look like.

    Precision Aiming in Safety Play

    John, Thanks so much for taking time out to make the video and post your "discovery". I'm sure all who have not reached the feel level of bank play will benefit from your post-I know I have. Steve

    Tips? Hard or Soft , Layered or Not

    I'm going to second HH7's recommendation for PoolDawg8's Milkduds because "you love how well it holds chalk", and it is not layered. I just went from a Kamui black Medium tip to a Milkdud. I had an issue with glazing that some others on the forum have mentioned and I felt this had resulted in a...

    How do we all help improve the image of pocket billiards?

    Frankly, I did not read this thread so I my be repeating something someone else has already stated. I think the status of pool is directly related to each and every one of us. We are all ambassadors for the sport. I'm reminded each time I tell somebody I play pool what the public's perception is...

    How many tips?

    Dr Dave, Sorry i did not see the description in your website before I posted, but those were my thoughts precisely. "Tips" is a very ambiguous term and my feeling is that we should convert to "Percentage". Dr Steve

    How many tips?

    Hi Scott, I hope all is well with you, I continue to practice my modified "mother drills" and they are paying dividends. I would still argue that a 13mm tip with a flat tip would produce a slightly larger contact than a snooker cue with a small radius (given similar tip material and same...

    How many tips?

    Reading a statement Sloppy Pockets made in his thread "Am I correcting without knowing it" got me thinking about tips of offset, and how this is measured. He had basically said that with one tip of offset he could shoot the CB from the spot to the center diamond on the short rail and into the...

    Help with IPAT scoring

    Jodacus, I suppose you can set your own target where ever you please. In the instructions the suggestion was any drill you average under 80% needs work or more practice. If you hit 800 points total (average of 80% on each drill) you are ready to proceed to PAT2. I'm just approaching 2 years of...

    Help with IPAT scoring

    Jodacus, Not an expert here, as I just started playing with this yesterday myself. It looks like you have done the math correctly. It appears to be set up such that if you hit the "target" score, you will, after multiplying by the factor, wind up with a score of 100%. Obviously, any score...

    Spend the day with Dennis

    Thommy, Hope you had a good flight home. My son had one of the best days of his life, buying his first car an hour before getting to the event really started out the day on a positive note. I spent today practicing some of what I learned and putting the shirt Dennis signed and a couple of...

    Spend the day with Dennis

    Jay, I wanted to thank you, Dennis, and Tony for the wonderful afternoon. I only wished it could have gone on all night. I really enjoyed Tony’s tour of the Tiger factory. Seeing what goes on behind the scenes in the manufacture of Cues, Shafts, and Tips was fascinating. His explanations...

    Million Views! for my instructional video

    Mike , Congratulations on your million views. After a friend visited and played on my table he went home and convinced his wife that they needed a table as well. She now feels the investment has brought their family closer together. Their sons used to hide in their rooms. Anyway, after the table...

    Similarities

    I came across this picture today in our throw away paper. I am always fascinated by similarities between pool and other sports. You may have to enlarge the picture, but take a look at this young man's grip on his bow. Remind you of anything...

    Breakrak

    AZPete, I got a Breakrak in January. I have no numbers to make you happy, only subjective comments. First off, it does not do anything for you, that you could not do on your own, provided you are willing to wrangle rack after rack of balls. In the past I never had the patients to do...
