    How to stop wood shaft warping.

    Yes shafts can warp because of humidity. Moisture also exacerbates other causes of warping that you have no control over including the proper aging process or lack there of before & during manufacturing process. Shafts also can have grain pattern stresses some of which can be hidden and over...

    ID Threads

    That could be said about just about every question on this forum. The cue ID threads don’t bother at all but having its own section is a great idea too. I think one of the reasons why we see so many more of these cue ID questions threads that are obviously not worth all that much to many that...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    This right here is the way of the world. It’s how all work places operate and how politics at all levels work… it’s smoke and mirrors. It may not be a soda that is purchased because of encouragement from “power” but the carrot is always dangling and people in power always know it and use it. The...

    Good players who do not look very good, while at the pool table, but still consistently run out.

    I’ve posted this before: this reminds me of the many baseball hitting stances. Gary Sheffield's rocking and bat wagging… so much movement but at contact it all came together. Some people can put all the movement, along with lifting the lead foot, stepping into the swing and timing like Ricky...

    Have you ever visited a pool hall with really good house cues?

    At one time it was not difficult to find a good house cue to play with. Sort of reminds me of trying to find a decent house ball when you go bowling… at one time that wasn’t a problem either. I’ll add that in my generation a “fat handles & short tapers” were prevalent. That did not make it a bad...

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    I read the this total post a few times I’m not sure if I totally understand your point. Some clarity on these two sentences might help me… I’m not sure if you meant to just say testosterone and exclude estrogen when I think estrogen plays an equal roll in everything you stated in these two...

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    I think this assessment is hilarious and true but as in most things not an absolute reason. I believe wrist strength is a key factor in why men generally excel at pool. While overall muscular strength is not a factor necessarily… power lifters and professional level athletes are not great pool...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    I think your you should title it TPF… Table Preference Factor. The most difficult table is a table that has not been leveled well and nobody prefers that. Even then your competition plays on the same table. Everything else is preferences and that personal.

    Elkmaster Milk dud tips, real or just hype???

    Agreed… all about preference. Adam Franks makes a milk dud that I like. I’ve seen someone here on AzB selling his. Do a search. The soak, press and drying process is more about the hit than controlling mushrooming but yes they do mushroom less than off the shelf Elkmasters. To me they are not...

    Buddy Hall

    I don’t see anything wrong with someone trying to help the family out and I’m not going to assume something shady going on without evidence. I haven’t seen where anyone has ever indicated or suggested that fans or community owe Buddy or his family anything. If you choose to donate or not to...
