Duke, you're absolutely right. I am an asshole. Still, I've never been banned from a bar, poolhall, buying a cue or even AZ. Think about that.

Yeah, that too.

No, the covid or politics thing doesn't seem right. There are lots of asshole posts on NPR but otherwise the guys seem OK. This sounds like it's his cue sales that have caused things to go bad. Like the bar/pool hall owner found out he sold a "missing" cue from a popular customer. That could...

Hey, what happened to that teacher from West Virginia? How come he's not here? BTW, here hear I would think that's pretty simple.

Well my mother was both a legal and medical secretary. She would confess to killing Kennedy if forced to read the cowboys posts.

Wow, 45 minutes per edge with acetone. Did you start hallucinating about a 526 ball run after the first edge? That's dangerous stuff.

It's all for visual effect. The dark stained parts (points) are to look like a true spliced cue.

I have a Schon BW2, which is a basic sneaky w/steel joint. Always thought the BW stood for Black Widow. It's a nice cue for those who like a wrapless feel. A lot of that series around.

Years back they had a very active ad campaign.

So your test for rolling exactitude is proving that once you're in tune with the chosen cue ball you will have to carry it with you, for precision perfection. Otherwise you will miss cue ball placement by two and a quarter inches. Whew, as a first class banger I'm happy not to pack all that...

They rank them, thin, medium and thick. Contact Predator if you need detailed measurements.

Sadly these questions always seem to come up about instructors. What's the Fargo rate? How many major tournament wins? What Dr. Dave has given free to the pool world is unmatched by any freakin' body. That he sells videos? Not for nothing but his videos are produced to the highest quality and...

If you go to the Predator website cues, click on filters, and grip diameter. They have 24 models with a thin grip. Having said that the thinnest grip cues I have both came from Bob Frey. They were ordered as his standard SP. Bob is local to you in MD. He is very well know as the sneaky pete...

Did that come with all the letters attached to a clear oversheet (roll) to lay it out in one piece?

I'm 72. So 7+2=9 That I can do on a good day. Sometimes even a few times a night.

It all depends. I played a lot in a bar back in the day on a Valley 88. The balls would fall in. The bar made lots of money. My second table is an old 88. But Penguin cushions and tight pockets. Way different. The older I get the more I want to open those pockets up. Maybe put on some old nappy...

I play on a GC IV and a Valley 88 often enough. Have you tried practicing on the Diamond with a magnetic cue ball? I think that is the big difference.

How about Bob Frey? There's a good chance he made it.

You're right, it doesn't mean he's wrong, about the pocket cut. But he's judged it by a blurry close up photo taken with a wide angle lens. And I think shot with one hand while holding the calipers with the other. That part is wrong. And for what it's worth I don't recall Lou ever having...

But, but that can't be. The world's greatest table mechanic said so.
