Creative Edge? As a friend of Pat's, a commentator at Accu-Stats, and a cue-maker myself, I've spoken extensively with Pat, (on several occasions) about his "short cue" philosophy. I also made a short cue for his brother Pete, based on those beliefs! Here, it's safe to sum up his thoughts...

The 10 footer event is going to be an invitational event.. the entry is still being decided and the key aspect of it is if you want a spot and weren't invited you can challenge someone for their spot...............

How much weight is enough? If your asking about an individual ball, the 6 for example, that "SOUNDS LIKE" a lot of weight, however, the only way you win is if you get to the table with a shot at it, right? That means your opponent, or the better player, probably has to miss on an earlier...

"Long time comin" Bottom line, Ivory has less ferule deflection! Creates a "LARGE" amount of cue-ball "SQUIRT!" , Why, because it is so---- much stiffer than any of the plastics. ABS, has a large amount of ferule deflection! Creates a "small" amount of cue-ball squirt!!! Why, because it is...

Better info. transmission I build a hollow front end shaft called the O.M.G.. Early on, R & D suggested, better "feel" and more productive feedback, was achieved, using a medium to hard tip. Now with the use of Kamui chalk, the one drawback to implementing that observation on all my stock...

Let the assumptions begin. Let's say your shaft is 14mm, wood, with a Bloodworth straight pro-taper, the ferrule is Ivory, and your tip is a "Future tip." I don't think the phenolic "Future Tip" will be the first of these items to give! p.s. Even in this extreme example of component assembly...

deflection? ............just for the record, Fred, a good friend is "master machinist/scientist" at the National Lab at Oak Ridge, Tn., when having this very discussion last week, He agreed, "it would take an electron microscope to measure cue-ball deflection!" Cue-ball squirt however, is a...

"R-U an engineer? You have made an extremely accurate observation, sir. Currently, mislabeled terminology states, shafts, as "Low deflection shafts," like the OB-1, Predator, and shafts of this type of construction. When in point of fact, a low deflection shaft is one of the stiffest hitting...

Nice!!! One of your Butterfly style cases (the picture at the bottom of your post)? Now that's a S-W-E-E-T looking PIECE!!! I'd (proudly) carry that beauty to all the big tournaments ACCU-STATS attends!! Great post on the aiming system, too.;)

In one day, 8 pages on this subject, Earl!!! I admire Shane Van Boening. He's a fine man, great player, and champion, but how many pages are there about his play over the weekend? Earl's appeal, is somehow more than, that, of a champion pool player!

??? Those are interesting and well defined thoughts, but should pro-level-pool be like a video game? Deep slates have been the mainstay of difficult gambling tables for years. In gambling situations, sometimes, it's the sole reason one player refuses to play on a particular table, and that...

Wow! WOW!!! Of "ALL" the things I've seen you post, about tables, rails, you name it, that's the wisest observation yet! (IMHO) "Right On the MONEY!!!" :thumbup:

Great Job! "IMHO, in the long run, you've done something positive for our Sport! You'll have this recording for ALL TIME. Store it, and there may come a day when it will benefit TAR financially again. The camera coverage and commentary were better this time, than in your past...

Rebuttal What I know is this, Pool, is considered a game, at best, by anyone who even bothers to consider it at all, in the general public. In the Art world, any reaction to a painting, is considered a good reaction! It means your at least paying attention to the painting and thinking...

Thanks a lot! Believe me, at some point I'll mention this story on the air in the ACCU-STATS booth. "You've made an indelible impression on me with this one!" Thanks so much for sharing that! This story actually gives me hope for our sports possible future. ;)

Charlie Manson? Common, in this situation, an analogy like that "IS" the borderline comment of a retard! You mentally challenged, DUDE? Wouldn't you agree, ridiculous overstatement is the strength your playing too, not truth, in either of these quotes's of yours? "Crazy, you call me Crazy...

A different view Well, you know I've got a lot of respect for you Jay, and I'm really looking forward to playing some 1-hole with you at the D.C.C., but on this point, "I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR DECISION TO LEAN ON EARL!" In another post today, a guy says his wife (who doesn't even care...

The older players usually "get him!" You always seem to get it, JAM. Here's something you might consider: "This guy is Ty Cobb!" I see the similarities all over the place. What each one of them did for their respective sports and the personal behavior that haunted them all their careers...

Observation So, what I'm hearing is, someone who doesn't even care about or play pool, sat down and watched the match? No matter how you view it, that's star power! "THIS GUY IS GOOD FOR THIS SPORT!!!" Now, if a pool hero with that kind of natural appeal would just appear on the pool scene...

A second hand story! Sometime in the mid-eighties, DiLiberto was around the Cincinnati area and beat a guy in a Northern Kentucky bar out of $2500.00. Danny said, the guy always paid by check and was good for the money. So Danny runs into Steve, lays out how the score works, takes him to the...
