I've seen 2 changes in McD recently. One of those,was that REALLY slick,live tooled then waxed or treated jobs not on a USA McD,but on a 50 dollar Lucky. I have also seen a different Lucky that oddly enough had a flat faced brass insert,that was pretty snug on that pin. Tommy D.

I was playing at The Rack in Memphis during the heyday of the Super Bowl tournament. I'm at the table running out to put Jack Hines on the loser's side. He looks at me and says "well I guess it's on you whether my kids eat or not this week". I get down to the 7,8,and 9,in a spot where all I...

In modern terms,the Tito kid I brought up back then,and still bring up when comparing up and comers was a legit 700+ Fargo in somewhere between 3 and 4 full years. He was no bullshit making a living at 10 and 20 dollars a pop beating the 10 ball ghost on a 9ft GC at Magoo's AND the Billiard...

If the bridge is with the left hand and it's the ring finger moving with some kind of repeatable motion or "quirk",the late George Fels said that is a right brain/left brain thing,with the side of your mind controlling unconscious behavior,or "dead stroke" gear,simply seeking a little comfort in...

Maybe it's just me,but I see way more players doing this than not. What I mean here is a subtle shift of the cue in a player's grip hand AFTER the shot,but it LOOKS to me like the player is doing it as a little tribute to themselves,like they are saying to themselves "good shot" after every...

Like most,I'd put that towards what would do me the long term good,a Diamond since those are what most "modern" places and tournaments have. Of course,I'd take a 800 dollar one owner ONE set of staples GCIII like my buddy just got,but I don't get that lucky. If the table purchase allowed...

Butt size too,even if it's just one piece. Tommy D.

Perhaps Bob can enlighten us further,but it SURE looks to me like your idea works,as long as you are prepared to overcome the technical challenges of getting a hole that deep AND straight into a wooden dowel. Tommy D.

Gunstock finish,commonly done with Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil,is also used on guitar necks. It can get sticky in hot/humid areas,and although I've never had it happen,but the stuff can go rancid and smell bad like a butcher block or cutting board. Tru-Oil may be hard to find these days,I know I...

I recently had a eBay fake carbon 314-2 come thru my hands for a tip change. I knew he wasn't worried about the warranty on an 80 dollar shaft,so I experimented. I was able to improve the finish on it by wet sanding it with 1500/2000/2500 using the brown Johnson's paste wax or J-Wax as a...

I always said if I ever saw him again I'd kick him dead in his nuts for what he did TO pool,on behalf of everyone. I still would. Tommy D.

Maybe what he is describing is kind of like the feeling of the back of a brand-new guitar neck with a sprayed finish,and he wants to "de-gloss" to an extent. With hand moisture and/or less than optimal A/C in places a finish can cause a sticky mess. I know that sounds backwards but it works...

As a pure cleaner,the DENATURED alcohol that has only 1% water works best. It also dries faster. Tommy D.

Same one I hit balls with...strange feeling but hard to ague with results like that...Tommy D.

If he is that's awesome,and I'd do whjatever I could to help,I'm only an hour away,and can do 95% of what I used to send him business for 💪:cool:. I'd be real useful on those old Clausings he had...Tommy D.

When the first Moori tips came out,I bought 5 from Joe Gold. When I took my shaft to Joe Blackburn to get it installed,he suggested I start out with a barely radiused shape,and let it shape itself,and with keeping maintenance to a minimum as well. I was working a full time job,but still put in...

The last I saw,he was using a Linen Based Melamine. Tommy D.

Ok simple misunderstanding then,all good. In my exp with ivory on my playing shafts,I never once cracked one that was kept up right,meaning I didn't cut the pad off it,or shorten the 1/4 thick pad they were made with,and then didn't put a pad back on it. With me anyway,weather care is a MUST...

In fact,I keep 2. One of them is a Red Circle I raised from a marble ;). The other,depending on where I'm going could either be a nice clean bar table ball,or the normal Aramith Pro Cup or measle ball. Tommy D.
