    RIP Paul Sorvino

    which flicks? "goodfellas" is what paul is probably best known for (and where that clip is from)- if you haven't seen it, it's worth a look.

    mid-cue extension

    hi all I want to add weight, length, and move my balance point forward- a mid-cue extension seems to make sense- does it? I haven't heard too much about them, but I'm curious from a cuemaker's perspective how well they work, and what pricing is like? thanks-

    flat spot on cue tip?

    yea, in my mind I'm wondering, what if I hit the spot where the flat part meets the curve? otherwise, I've always admired pat's pool curiosity/inventiveness..bolstered by his own experimentation, I just had a cue cut to 54"

    Hitting 1/2 Tip to the Left on Center Ball Shots, Should I Fix My Stroke or Adapt?

    not an instructor I also noticed that the balls weren't set up straight every time, but if they were, I imagine you could get more info. out of shooting keep better track of your accuracy by trying to draw back into the corner pocket, etc. anyway, your stroke looks pretty solid to me- keep going!

    Preferred cue length

    agree/I've brought it up a few times/have advocated/do advocate that there is a unique cue for us all I'm short, have proportionately-long (short) arms- I don't mess with much of the butt length/weight as a result, I've been experimenting with shorter cues, etc. and like the direction I'm...

    Major Titles?

    hey there raph! re: tennis australian open french open wimbledon us open what are the other four? good point about majors in pool if there were more prestige about certain events, that would likely give pool as a whole a boost I think matchroom, for example, knows this, and is working to bring...
