    this thread is about OB cues shutting down, a pretty neutral subject, and yet there are people fighting in here. Can we stop please:LOL:

    How can you fix the sidearm stroke?

    first, the player has to want to get better. Watch barry starks videos on youtube. He goes over fundamentals like stance, grip, stroke etc. You can also have your team mate get down on a shot, and then ask him if you can move his elbow into proper position so he knows how it feels to be...

    8ft versus 9ft Diamond Pro am (room 17'6" x 14')

    if shorties are required for the 9, id go with the 8. I personally love 8 foot tables. To me they are a happy medium

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    thanks. Im about 5'10. I have an old ironing board with adjustable height. I can get it to similiar pool table height. Im going to look for a portable mirror, and use them to practice my stance and stroke. I can put a cueball on the ironing board to give me something to cue at. I can look at all...

    On Oxygen... Guy

    you just have to be careful with those about getting false readings, which in turn can make you very anxious thinking you have a problem when you dont. Things like Bright ambient light and nail polish can throw them off and give you a low reading, at least with the one i have. Mine also always...

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    can you explain how you achieve the chest rub? I tried last night "bringing the body to the cue", as demonstrated by the snooker coach in the video above, and i still feel like it was throwing my cue arm out of line. Do you lean into it? Bend legs to get lower to touch the cue? Any advice?

    On Oxygen... Guy

    I used to play with a guy who was paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair. He had a telescopic bridge that he used for every shot that wasnt on the rail (he could use his hand to bridge from the rail). He was called safety bob, because he was famous for his lock up safes😂. I like...

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    This video completely explains what im talking about, and the problem I have. I have been "bringing the cue to my body", or cocking my stroke arm inward to achieve the rub, rather than bringing my body to the cue. This is why my stroke looked wobbly on video.

    OB cues shut down?

    i have a new custom OB. Probably one of the last made. I just got an extra ob extension for it before the price gouging starts.

    New Year's Resolution - Getting some training / coaching

    ive been doing the same thing. Seeking guidance from others. Im actually going to meet a good straight pool payer today for the second time. I took video of myself, and noticed my stroke looks wobbly, although I have played pretty good with that wobbly stroke through the years. What I do is rub...

    8 ball barroom rules questions

    i hate bar rules for all of the reasons you posted, especially when your opponent scratches and your last ball is behind the line and you cant even shoot at it with ball in hand. But, with the scratch on the 8 and loss of game, it has always been that way anywhere ive played. I like my local...

    Another great Pechauer cue

    I have one from them as well, custom made and only used a couple of times. I wanted the same cue allison fisher has been using the last year or so, and pechauer told me it was theirs, and hence, this cue as pictured. I eventually found out the actual cue is a custom OB cue, and thankfully they...

    McDermott owners

    The g core is a very good shaft. I played with one for many years. I recently switched to a pechauer rogue cf shaft and like it a lot. Im not a fan of the defy shaft because it has that flashy design on it that would catch my eye and distract me when stroking. Any major cuemaker should have your...

    Personally most annoying thing in pool.

    Things that bug me.....in league, when its my shot, and the opponent is at the end of the table bending down looking at my ball to see if I can hit it or not. Also, when the opponent misses, and says "good game", when i still have a ball or two or three on the table. I have since talked to my...
