That sounds very good Dwight, I sincerely wish you the very best!👍👍👍👍

Al, I am not certain if did or didn’t use the same tips. But, I would bet that he either used Le Pro or Triangle cue tips. In the late 60s and through the 1970s they were very popular. In addition there wasn’t a large selection of tips around like today, so I suspect that’s what he used, I could...

Thanks very much for your reply!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Great post, I was taught to break 8 Ball using the exact same technique you described above by St. Louis Louie Robert’s back in the 1970s. It’s very effective with a stun or center ball hit. Thanks for sharing, I hope these listen to you!!👍👍👍👍👍

I recommend using a dead center hit on the 2nd ball, hitting as much ball as possible. If done correctly it will leave the cue ball in the center of the table, if it isn’t kissed out by an object ball. It’s very effective and you will have a higher percentage of 8 balls on the snap. Good luck!

I think so also, if it’s perfect straight. 👍👍👍

Looks like it is to me.

What are you talking about man??😃

Its been great Korea until today, I have 5G internet service. Thanks for asking

Your certainly welcome!!!!!

Thanks for sharing, good cue maker and nice looking cue may Kevin Rest in Peace.😔

While end mass has a great deal to do with deflection, a light cue will also reduce it further.

You're certainly welcome!!!!👍👍👍👍

I don’t think you will go back to a weighted break cue. I have played with a light break cue since the 1970s. It will certainly give more accuracy, because if the reduced deflection. I think you made the right choice, good luck and kick ass!👍👍👍👍

Arm swing is a major part of the stroke, but the only two things that effect the action on break shot are as follow They are the location where the cue ball is struck, and the length of the final follow through. A weight bolt in a cue is not heavy enough to influence arm swing. JIMHO

Weight bolts are used to balance the cue, or to give a player the weight they are use too. Taking the weight out of a break cue can be very effective because it will create action on the break and reduce deflection. Good post.

Thanks for the update I wasn’t aware of that, hope he rests in peace ☮️

I don’t disagree with you, I think you right after looking at a second time.

Thanks for the correction 👍 Cortland #9 was textured and more stiff than any other Irish linen I ever worked with. As far as the wax wearing off, if I wrapped a cue, I would re-wax and press those wraps for free.

I was charging $150 for real Courtland #9 Irish linen installed on cue. Most people would settle for a generic brand of green speck linen.
