I actually did put the same canuba wax I use on wood shafts on a CF shaft. It was so slick I did not like it and had to wipe it all off LOL

Or several pockets, and put the table on a pivot system and get rid of the cues.

Yep, but this method also sends the cueball to the ghost ball position. No way around it, same location, different way. I don't aim at the ghost ball position per se, but I know how to send the cueball there based on shooting the shots thousands of times and finding the angle I need without...

It's not really BS, it's just an unschooled player not knowing how to quantify or explain how aiming and shooting works. A lot of bar bangers I know can pocket balls, but they are totally incapable of teaching others because they have no idea of what methods and steps they take to play position...

I would also be a bit worried about being attracted to a Cuetec LOL. Decent cues now, but even more of a noob cue in the 80s, up to about when SVB started using one. If you want to get a Meucci then get it. There are a few models I would not mind owning, but not nearly enough of a fan to get...

WTF kind of moronic thinking is this? No rules for games near pool tables that use those games because it's "less open to others"? Idiots.

This is so hard to do, and I agree with Bob that better equipment outside of the cue/shaft/tip will show an improvement more clearly than anything else. Simply because no 2 players aim, stand or move their arm the same, so who knows what will help or make it worse for someone. And also you...

That is just a scam, I get them every so often. Discord is valid, it's a popular communications platform, often used by gamers but even schools setup Discord chats with students and teachers.

Fargo is not exactly a measure of absolute skill but by how well a player does vs others, once that happens you can measure their absolute skills. If you are comparing the Fargo of those players given their era playing against the players of their era, most of those would be in the 800s...

I have actually gauged player skill simply by how they walked up to the table and put the balls down on it LOL Aside from the long straight draw shot I would pick an inside spin 3 rail position shot.

I am not a fan of the NY guys that do the Turning Stone usually. They go on and on about inside jokes and people only they know. Also while a bit older, when Sid Waddell was commentating, he was not really good, it was fun but useless and rambling. JJ is probably the best of the modern era...

Ask the people in your league. Many bars also have a shorty cue for restricted spaces. Part of the reason I don't play in a traveling league anymore, sick of having to play in crap places with crap tables with sometimes weirdo drugged out regulars. In addition, the breaking down of a cue...

My son did this for his break

Happened in the late 80s and 90s, almost all of those higher class rooms closed, took out the pool tables to make room for a dance floor or dining tables or dropped the pool table count to 1/5th of what they had.

For smoothiness. And it's a protection layer vs scrap getting in the wood pores.

It's just different designs. One has 3 rings, other has 1. No hidden meaning behind them. The guy selling the shaft probably has a cue with three silver rings.

Well if you see a bald stranger with glasses there in the summer, it's me LOL

I usually give myself like an hour drive to a place to check it out but try to keep it to 30 mins because of the drive back.

John Waynes was actually my favorite place in the area, I met several people that shoot in a league there when I was opening a store near Indy. Also got friendly with the bartenders so the girls were being nice with my drinks hehe. I usually try to get on the couple of 9 footers they have in...

it may be how you are adjusting for spin. I use a simple parallel shift so there is no compensation for BH or FH english. With that way of aiming, the Revo, 12.4 or the 11.8 are the lowest deflection shafts I have tried.
