The one I measured in machine shop school was 7.637 TPI. The math says the pitch is .1309,so a single point cutter needs to be that same width with a full half-ball radius to cut right if you have CNC capability. But that is based on trying to externally thread something with a v-shape too...

There is a Johnny Archer/Nick Varner match where Archer wins 13-1 and shoots a .989. There is a Buddy Hall match too where he shoots a .976,but have yet to see it. Pat said that one is the record for a race to 11. Efren has another Derby match where he runs over Jamie Baraks too. Tommy D.

Probably most people here have watched the one Youtube vid of him crushing that one rack that was a screen cap from an Accu-Stats match. I watched that match live (2000 U.S. Open),along with a practice session that same week of him hitting the balls pretty close to exactly like that for 2 hours...

I like a LOT of music,but since we're talking about what we listen to while playing when we can this is what I roll with. There are 158 mp3's on my phone right now. MOST of them are classic rock (Hendrix,Boston,Van Halen,Zep,and Journey). There's also a bunch of 80's metal (Dokken,early...

I was told even before they started numbering the pins in 1993 that if you saw a cue with a big,oversized center-drilled hole,that there was a STRONG possibility it was a Kersenbrock,or at least one he had some connection to. It was also said that the precisely driilled versions were almost...

I''ll go ahead and tell you the truth since no one else has put it in these terms. That is a HELL of an effort for not being very far into your venture,not only with the execution,but something other than a 4 point with Titlist colors,quite strong (y). Tommy D.

100% Diviney. Last I heard,that cue is still in his dad's possession. Tommy D.

With nice clean/flat surfaces and fresh glue,the tip should be ready to go within 60 seconds. I spread the glue around a little before centering,then hold it firmly in place with my thumb for 15 seconds or so. By the time I reach down for a paper towel to wipe off the squeeze-out,the tip has...

I agree,Hennessee is a complete yo-yo most of the time. However,in my mind he's top 10 in America,and to give him weight like this and completely drown him is pretty sporty ;). This is why I think that if you take Shane's break,and Filler's gift for pocketing balls out of the equation,that...

In the mid South,Tammie Wesley would openly gamble even with guys in the mid 600 by Fargo standards. Monica Webb and the late Helena Thornfeldt too. Tommy D.

My number is 179. Tommy D.

I'm not sure how to check my ID number,but my join date is April 2003. I was a regular on the Billiards Digest forum from the beginning before that. Tommy D.

Louie was being given Meucci cues and a LOT of them. I met at least 20 people in Memphis alone that had cues either straight given to them by Louie,or sold to them when he wound up in a bad spot. Grady Mathews told me about a stunt he pulled somewhere where he went around and told people...

One of my buddies is sponsored by McD. They had been promising him a Defy for close to a year (even while they had been advertised for sale online as "in stock") before he finally got it. Within an hour,he put it in his case and called me and said "man this thing SUCKS." Before you dismiss his...

This is just my own experience. I have yet to find a mass-produced "break" cue I liked. Crazy heavy or light,uncomfortably thick diameter or taper gets zero play. Same goes for synthetic tips like the phenolics I've tried. I was also not a fan of the feel from the Alex Brick/Chilton style...

When I first ran into his cues at the 1994 U.S. Open,he was NOT using birdseye/curly maple in a forearm or wrap section,saying it moved too much for him. Your choices were purpleheart,bacote,coco or ebony. You also had the option of a Titanium version of his normal pin. He was the originator...

Skyler's backswing is pretty compact,but generates a shitload of power with just a flat ball with it. In a different way,Alex fits this mold too. A truly compact stroke doesn't have a 12" bridge length either,usually much closer to the cue ball around 8" is about right in terms of efficiency...

I'll bet that was a beautiful cue the day it left the shop,but would go broke betting it didn't look THAT nice ;). That is downright astounding dog :thumbup:. Tommy D.

Does anyone have a source for a piece of CF tubing that is about .840 diameter and 12" long with no taper? I have a sudden hankering to make myself a mid-extension to fit my Schon before I finally put it away and make it's inevitable replacement. Tommy D.

It looks to me like the pin was installed in the shaft on purpose,similar to a couple others that have been posted here. Tommy D.
