    TAR Shane Van Boening Instructional Series Coming 4/4/13

    Please tell me that this DVD will be captioned for the deaf and hearing impaired. Since SVB is hearing impaired himself, I would think it would be.

    Zero x system

    I bought the Zero X kicking video last night and right away I knew it was a knockoff of Jimmy Reid's system because I also have Jimmy's DVD's that I bought from him a few years ago. Jimmy's videos are great but I had great difficulty following him on the kicking system due to my being hearing...

    Meet your instructor Donny!

    Hey Scott! My game is better thanks to the time I spent with you. That index finger tip you gave me was a good one!! The one thing giving me trouble now is my break. Too inconsistent. If I can fix that I'll run more racks LOL! Safe travels my friend! Randy

    Meet your instructor Donny!

    Loren, So glad to see you took Donny up on his offer!! I had the great pleasure of watching him apply his knowledge and skills against me and other players up in WI back in the early to mid 80's. I was certain he would do a lot of good for your game. Practice what he taught you and good...

    How to safety? Step 1

    Loren, I would strongly suggest taking Donny up on his offer if you can get to Gainesville. He's not kidding when he says defensive strategy is one of his specialties. Donny - I sure wish Billy was still around. As you know, he had defensive play down to a science as have you! Regards...

    Follow or draw

    If you are simply asking which shot is easiest to execute (follow or draw), it's follow for me. Simply because one diamond of draw requires more swing speed in the stroke to accomplish than one diamond of follow.

    He's human like the rest of us. We all let a fuse go now and then.

    Is there anyone better at installing a higher end leather wrap than Kenny Koo?

    It is very difficult to label someone or thing as the single "best" in anything. There are lots of great cuemakers and repair guys out there that do outstanding wrap work. Kenny has certainly earned his reputation here and I can personally vouch for it. He put a lizard print wrap on a Scruggs...

    Any cues that hasa similar hit to a southwest?

    I would throw Wes Hunter's cues into the mix as I have more than once heard his cues referrerd to as the poor man's Southwest. I have one and it is a stiff hitter but I've never had a chance to hit with a Southwest so can't say for sure.

    Predator BK2 durability and reliability

    Strength has nothing to do with it. It's speed and technique along with accuracy. Perhaps you are gripping the cue too tight. Try a lighter grip.

    Need advice on restoring cue

    I definitely wouldn't stain it gray and I would keep the cue. Those old D series McDermott cues are great playing cues. I had a D21. If you decide to sell, you won't have too much trouble selling it. Hard to say what it would bring in this market.
