Hi Fred, long time.... Thanks, for the extra info (not that I don't appreciate everyone else's contributions). Also, thanks for "pie-spliced"....All I could think of was "sectional".

1) Back up, and worry less about your end cue ball position, until you have a (very) comfortable shot making percentage. Or, at least drill only a few--or even only one--basic shot, and perform a PSR on that. Get your stance and basic strok sorted, and then review Dr. Dave's document (link in...

I know that low end mass (the hollow) is for squirt/deflection reduction, but was still thinking the radial wedges = stiffness = low deflection. Thanks, for the correction.

I was on a Discord server, and someone mentioned Jacoby making cues for Predator. I commented about Jacoby pre-dating Predator by about a decade, but that Predator successfully marketed low deflection shafts, and have managed to overshadow older cuemakers due to that (and other factors)...

Just sounds like Contact Point aiming to me, with some attention to the speed/spin desired for position. Experience is what allows you to adjust the amount of overlap needed--which is modeled by the 'Double-the-Distance' type of aiming, but actively/consciously using DtD is not required. I...

She got some luck on it, but the result was what she intended. I actually saw this a few days before this thread, and was slightly less impressed by it, because I had *just* seen the same shot on one of those "Battle" videos. It's like the "Horse" basketball game, where one woman attempted...

Sorry, off topic but for anyone in the Atlanta area.... http://www.theindiebar.com/ There is also an FB page, https://www.facebook.com/independentatlanta/ APA 8 leagues on Sunday (afternoon) and Wednesday (nights), and APA 9 on Tuesdays (nights). $20 buy in tournaments on Thurs (nights)...

Also, not cheap, but I doubt any cue lathe thread would not be complete, without mentioning CueSmith, Unique, and Porper. However, since his passing, I don't know if anyone is still selling Joe Porper stuff.

I don't know if posting from another forum site is allowed, and I'm too lazy to check, but here is a homebuild of about the same thing: http://www.billiardsforum.com/pool-cue-repair/homemade-cue-lathe-done-dirt-cheap I like the makeshift "ways" of the tailstock piece sliding in the wood base...

TCC, what "tinkering" did you require? Years ago, I got a 7x10 which was a Craigslist Special. I don't know how hard it was run prior to my owning it, but the motor did fry out after only a (cumulative) 2-3 hrs of use--I was doing some house cues for a local bar, and a few required ferrules...

Interesting....I had invented a game that is very similar to this 235--although after seeing this I feel like mine is something of a copy. My game started as a training tool for myself, so the rules are pretty loose. I will put the basic idea here, and perhaps someday post them in the...

Red Fox Billiards Technically in Doraville, but not too far from downtown. I have been told that the tables are not heated, but I have not actually visited yet, so could not verify.

Yes, and that can allow a personto get "into the zone" sometimes. But, actually being conscious of the variables, and continually keeping to correctly practiced norms will help someone to more consistently perform when not in said zone. I have seen (videos of) those goggles before. I would...

This thread is months old by this post, but I see that the discussion became about "vision center/centre". I wanted to address the "undercut" parts of the original post, as it appears to me that the problem may simply be the difference between the Point of Aim (POA) and Point of Contact (POC)...

Mushrooming This is essentially the only reason that I even have a break cue. I like medium or medium-hard tips, and like to hit the break shot on the hard side. It did not hurt my playing game, but as you described, the cycle of muchroom-reshape-mushroom-reshape made me chew through tips...

I lean toward agreement with lfigueroa about set up (like stance fundamentals), but you may also have an execution problem, where your final hit stroke is off. It may be helpful, to set up the same shot over and over, and take note of *how* you miss, try to understand *why*, and correct for...

lmac007, thank you for the reply. I understand what you are trying to add, but it strays from the point of my thread, which was a simple collection of data on anyone who would like to answer, regarding the type of learner they are (visual or aural), and a request for your league skill level (or...

BRussell, it's not particularly about learning pool, but as how the learning types relate to pool. Consider when teaching someone to shoot draw: If one only had the option of being told how to do it, without a visual demonstration, OR shown how to do it, without any exposition, no time limit...

Both you and Prairie dog posted above 8 (as of this post), so I realize that I should have specified 8 or 9-ball. So, anything 8 and above I will assume is a 9-ball rating. I am the same rating in both. It seems that it was also not clear, that the "learning" need not be about pool. It's...

Quick question for the room: What is your dominant "learning type", Visual or Aural? Also, please include any current league skill level, and rough number of years playing. I am currently an APA-6, but perhaps a 6.5 or 6.6, to provide an extra level of understanding. I've been playing in...
