My eyes are up here sir.

To me, they are beautiful, I'd have one in a heartbeat but I'm certain you're correct about them getting fingerprints and dirty. It's kind of like having a black vehicle. They look great but look dirty as soon as you drive across town after the car wash. There's an old straight pool match with...

I very rarely bet on pool. I know "money won" is supposedly sweeter than "money earned" but I don't get the dopamine rush from winning money. I honestly don't care much about money. I have enough to live comfortably and pay my bills but I won't ever be going to dinner with Bill Gates or paying...

Half way through the cycle the motor changes direction and spins them in reverse. In action they do seem to spin on multiple axis, especially when the motor stops and reverses. They are probably 10X better than a bucket polisher, whereas say a diamond one is maybe 12-14X better. For the price...

I would get the replacement stuff. Your future self will probably be thankful to have them. These feel well built and something that should last for a long time, when the originals wear out it would be nice to have replacements on hand.

Cool, let us know what you think once you play with it some.

My buddy bought one and it works surprisingly well. For some reason we imagined it as smaller. The thing is still compact but it's like an appliance. For whatever reason we imagined it as the size of a bucket, it's hard to get a sense of scale with the pictures. Quite an impressive unit for the...

I am not an instructor. I do have some thoughts on how you can help your friend out though. Look up CJ Wiley's older stuff on his youtube channel. He talks about stance and "aiming from the center of your body" in those videos. He even uses a sword to demonstrate what he means. If you want to go...

Fair enough! :) Hopefully JB can shed some light on the subject. If you want to do some research, or you can also check out https://www.youtube.com/@jbcasesoriginal . He has several videos there but you may have to browse on there a bit. The thing is, CTE seems pretty dense (as in info...

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... 😉 @JB Cases do you feel like explaining this to @DrCue'sProtege ? You have a great understanding of the topic but be forewarned, I'm about 65% sure he's a troll or just wanting everything spoon fed. I could be wrong, it's happened before.

Good post! After learning to maintain my stuff I don't want anyone else doing so. There are a lot of hacks. Having someone else put a tip on or clean a shaft would almost be like watching someone else kiss your girlfriend/wife. I'm sure some guys are ok with that but I'd rather take a few...

In the past 4 years or so I've only changed them out when I want to try something new or experiment. Sometimes it's two years, sometimes it's two weeks. I no longer use shapers except for the initial shaping. Just a 1" square of sandpaper to lift out old chalk before a session. My thoughts is...

Yeah, it was one a hilarious clip. Chalk doesn't really bother me, except this one time: I played against a very good opponent in a local tournament. He's really respected and even does instruction. In the area he's one of the best and a very capable player. He had 6 pieces of chalk all over...

I think another big thing is just plain closed mindedness. I mean, I can aim, you can aim, we all can aim. But if you're not aiming the same way aiming works for me, then it's on. We can no longer be civil, we must see who can piss the farthest! Wind direction be damned! ;) In reality CTE...

Excellent description of the only OBJECTIVE aiming system. 🍿

You basically tracked dog shit all over someone's brand new white carpet.

Buy the tome: https://www.justcueit.com/buy/p/center-pocket-music-using-cte-pro-one-to-improve-your-pool-game And shame on you for dragging aiming to the main forum.

I watched it last night. It was pretty good. I mean, it's low budget but it does have some neat plot twists. It's listed as a drama, and it is, but it was a fun watch. I enjoyed it.

This right here is my strategy. A lot of very good players are only okay at racking. I figure if I give them a perfect rack, they've probably never broke an actual frozen rack so it's something they're not used to. I might not every get past an intermediate level player but I can promise you no...

I'm not a mechanic but I've done this several times. Get a scrap piece of wood about 6" long and a bottle jack. Put the wood on top of the bottle jack to protect the table. Put it in the middle of the end rail you want to adjust and jack it up slightly. Turn the levelers as needed until level...
