    Have you used carbon fiber and went back to wood?

    interesting. I specifically went with the pechauer because i was reading that it didnt have that metallic "ping" and strange feel like some other cf, and was the closest cf shaft in feel to wood, and that has been my experience with it. I always played with the mcdermott g-core shaft prior, and...

    Signed balls

    so, i do have an extra allison signed cueball. But one minor detail....it has my name on it. It reads "To blank, allison fisher, dutchess of doom". I got it from her when she was offering them on her FB. At the time, you just emailed her for them. She sent me two by mistake. After that, she just...

    Signed balls

    Allison has a website to order signed balls from. If anyone knows how to reach vivian, that is a signed ball that i have been after. She disappeared. https://www.allisonfisher.com/store/signed-personalized-allison-fisher-cue-ball/

    Who let the dogs out? Some threads are gone.

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    specifically, the cue rubs/grazes right where my right nipple is, for lack of better description.

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    it makes me feel better knowing I can still do that. I have been playing a long time and I just know i will never be able to stroke/shoot with a free floating cue. Hugging the chest completely steadies my cue. The mistake I have been making for 18 years is cocking my stroke arm inwards to make...

    OB cues shut down?

    I was watching accustats last night, and one of the mods (azbtv) said he "heard" someone approached OB and offered to buy them. We shall see.

    Fat guy stroke issue.

    im the same as you. I think a lot of it is hereditary. There really isnt any obesity in my family. I once had an overweight friend tell me he hates me because i can eat whatever i want, and he cant eat a tictac without gaining a pound.

    I like the new format where they have sets.

    Not a fan of it myself, esp the shootout. Seems more luck than anything. I wouldnt mind it so much if it was a sudden death rack instead of a shootout.

    OB cues shut down?

    that is very sad to see a made in the usa cue company go under. I just did business with them a few months ago and the customer service was 100%, and their reviews reflect that. I just went ahead and ordered a backup OB extension and rubber adapter from omega billiards for it, before the price...

    Cue gently touching/ gliding on chest when stroking

    i believe so. I have no problem pocketing, or using english. I can easily stroke into a water bottle neck without touching. I have also set the cue directly above the seam on the rail where the cloth meets the rail. You make sure the cue is fully covering the seam, and take strokes. If you are...

    Cue gently touching/ gliding on chest when stroking

    Thoughts on this? I recently video'd myself shooting and noticed a wobbly stroke. I had a lesson with an instructor near boston and he said my stroke arm is cocked inward. He told me to hold my stroke arm further from my body, but this results in a "floating" cue, where it is not touching my...

    Fat guy stroke issue.

    just fyi and to give the op confidence, my league operator is very, um, large, and is also one of the best pool players in my region. So it is certainly doable.

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    The guy in This video, at about 1:20, talks about what I do with the cue. I want to be clear that i am not "pressing" the cue against my side. It just sort of rides/glides it. It eliminates any feeling of wobbles, or loss of control for me. To give you an idea of how minor the contact is, I am...

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    how is it any different for players that push their chin into the cue?

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    i traveled 2.5 hours to this guy. He was definitely smart and knew his stuff, but honestly he was a bit of a dick and i wont be going back. The nearest pool hall to me is 1 hr away.....albany NY. It would be nice to find a really strong player there to work with.
