It's reliable, repeatable and accurate, for him. He plays world class pool with it. Seems high quality to me. The results certainly are. Minimizing biceps? Beats me. pete

No. I will say that it's not currently possible for me. I am quite willing to concede that many can do so. They have their biceps brachii under better control than I. cordially, pete

I don't advocate emulating anyone. IF you want a straight pendulum stroke, maximize reliance on the brachialis and minimize reliance on the biceps. This is no big deal on a two foot stop shot. On a table length or more draw shot, the inevitable participation of the biceps is both a blessing...

My perspective on these questions is that of a professional body-worker since 1987. I have refrained from entering these discussions because my input would piss some people off. Muscle memory is better characterized as neuromuscular memory. Some complex neuromuscular skills (memories) are...

Aaron,thank you for opening this thread. I have long been intrigued by CTE in general and PRO-1 in particular. Living on Camano Island WA, I am about as far from Mr. Shuffet as one can be and still be in the lower 48. I was very disappointed when he "postponed" production and sale of an...

Pool Team Names This year's thread lists names that are a bit more risque' than last year's. A couple year's ago, Sedro-Woolley WA had a mixed team called "Three in the Pink - One in the Stink". I was not on this team. Don't call me Stinky. pete

Golden Fleece - Exemplary OB: Bellingham/Mt Vernon/Burlington - Dave Goodenbauer's (RIP) tables have been seeking a home for the last six months, not finding the right combo of zoning, rent and sq footage. For those seeking alternatives to the Seattle area gridlock madness, both Monroe and...

Golden Fleece - exemplary What he said. Ten nice Diamonds in a cathedral-like atmosphere. The Fleece is a POOL hall. Seating for casual sweators, barely audible blues/jazz, proper seating for those awaiting their turn at the table, a muted big screen (not visible from the playing area) for...

ld shaft for cue-tec I bit on Ozone billiards' promotion of the R360. Glad I did. I went for the "stealth" all-black model. Stiff hit, forward (adjustable) balance, narrow butt diameter (28mm mid grip). decently low-deflection shaft. If you have the chance to test drive one, I'd...

No Seattle Area Must also give a shout out for Uncle Jack's in Lynnwood. A dozen Gold Crowns and a handful of bar-boxes. pete

Locked down shot - BS? The shot you have diagrammed was the subject of a Kim Shaw "CueTec tiip of the day" segment. This one was from the last WPBA tourney at the Hard Rock in (mumble), Florida. She set up the tableau in support of a strategy to three-foul your opponent, minus the cue ball on...

best chalk holder I took a flyer on the pouch after almost putting my eye out with a pocket chalker. :-) I am happy I did so. I wear it on my right hip, above the right margin of the back pocket, and access the chalk with the same motion used to extract and replace the pocket chalker. After...

Mental Game Joe, Thanks for this essay. I always find your posts thoughtful and thought provoking. In addition to providing a fresh point of view, there is the suggestion to DO something! Somewhere Milton must be smiling. I'll try humming OM at my resonant freq tomorrow at league and report...
