If you look for them online,there are several pictures where people made their own modifications for this assembly because it can be flimsy if that ONE hold-down screw isn't 100% as tight as you can get it. The gibs must also be adjusted right. It's also kind of an odd Allen wrench size at...

Yep I'm that hard on myself. Obviously,the balls don't cooperate every single game,but if there are no clusters or places where the position zone is smaller than a handspan,etc then yes I come to the table thinking to myself that I am "supposed" to run out. It might not work out like that,but...

I see this scenario all the time in my game. To me,coming to the table with not just a shot,but the FIRST open shot with a reasonable "expectation" of running out the rack happens a LOT,whether my opponent shoots first and misses,comes up dry,or I "wrestle" myself thru tactical planning into...

Perhaps the collets themselves need to be looked at MUCH more closely. Unless you are using a lathe with an automatic feed and a well-honed boring bar that is specifically radiused for Delrin so you get the best surface finish possible,it is probably the feed lines left from machining that are...

Thanks guys,all useable info shared here will be used ;). I'd also like to clear something up. The match where I broke and ran out 7 times going to 9 was NOT 7 racks in a row. I ran the first 4 and came up dry,opponent ran out. He scratched on the break,I ran out then added 2 more BNR,then ran...

Interesting choice to core with what looks like rosewood or cocobolo. For a guy that is relatively new,you can tell he is skilled as well as deep-pocketed. Tommy D.

Neil you bring up an interesting point. During this stretch at this particular place I can honestly remember being just flat outplayed 3 times in over 100 sets,all 3 of them against the same guy that beat me 10-2 last night. While I played bad by my standards in all 3 of those sets,he is also...

According to people that have been around even longer than I have,supposedly the "rolls" will even out. It sure doesn't feel like it from my perspective. I have no idea why,but at the times when I need something to go my way,it almost NEVER happens. If I miss a ball unexpectedly,I'm the guy...

Not sure about snooker but the PGA does do it but it's not as big a priority as it is in the NFL for example. However,there are probably loopholes like just about any other testing system. Tommy D.

Same here,and I'd like to add that it sure looks like a nicer than normal WB. Tommy D.

The tip on my current favorite shaft (made it myself to fit a Schon butt) is a HH Ultraskin,but generally I get the best results with a one piece Water Buffalo,something VERY similar to what comes on a new Schon shaft. A LOT of people have complained to me that WB are too hard for them,either...

Never mind I found it LOL

No shit that is PITIFUL...I know people that would have made him taste that shaft on the spot no questions asked. Tommy D.

Scotty and Pickle were a pick-em in my book,just a matter of who was right that day. James,on the other hand,was rumored to be trying to match up with Pick in Memphis one time where the line was Pickle getting the 7-8 playing 9 or 10 ball. I knew Pick was a hell of a player,so I asked James...

Do you have a big enough lathe to turn this size stock down? My Hightower lathe can only handle 1 3/8 at most and even then it's tricky. Tommy D.

That match is NOT the only time Pickle beat Efren either. There as an IBC tournament at JOB's in Nashville one time where the matches were 2 out of 3 sets races to 6 or 7 and Pick win 2 sets with Efren only winning 4 games total. Pickle also beat Parica too and finished with a pretty high cash...

Where does Pau Ferro fit in? Tommy D.

I had enough people ask me if I could put a clear pad under a Le Pro or an Ultra Skin,etc enough times I decided to order some. I looked on eBay and found a bag of 100 in 5/8 diameter and 1/8 thick for around 5 bucks. Tommy D.

That is the reason I've sent business to them for going on 30 years back when Bill Randolph had the shop over on Mendenhall. If it's still in their catalog,I have one of the ebony Schon plain janes and a Schon SLX sneaky pete that came from there as well. Tommy D.

It used to be the rule that I would trash a bottle after a month and wound up wasting a lot. The quality of the Loctite Professional I use is so good now that I usually get close to the bottom of the bottle before it starts acting funny. In fact,out of the last 8 bottles I've bought,the only...
