Excellent video and concise narrative. This is a great 4 minute introduction. Congratulations.

Instead of dreaming...here is a successful pool hall for players. From novice and league players, to successful professional players The Fiddlestix Billiard Cafe in Canton, Ohio has a business plan for a long term business success. Excellent 9 and 7 foot Diamonds in an inviting room with plenty...

This reminds me to take more time to really know someone. RIP AZB'r. You made us all think.

I had the same problem but went back in and they touched it up in a few minutes. It has been perfect since then...7 years ago.

If I know I am about to play a slow player...I bring large newspaper and start reading quietly, trying to look like am not being distractive. If the league operator objects, I bring out my World Standardized Rules and flip through the pages. How could he object? It drives folks crazy.

Food there is below standard and or pricy. Do yourself a favor and bring a cooler with snacks and refreshments. Something like you take on a fishing trip. Cheese, crackers, fruit, beer, salami, etc. And plenty of it.

Chalk on stick to make straight lines on a chalk board in school.

Good response, thanks for your thoughts. After shooting this way for over 20 years I have changed my thinking because it works for me. It takes a couple of months until it is really second nature. For me, one real benefit is shooting pressure shots. You may have noticed in your competitive...

On the object ball, it is the farthest spot from the pocket and adjust based on collision induced throw. For example, take a spot shot being cut to the left. Take your cue and stand directly behind the object ball. Place your cue directly behind the object ball, so the cue points to the...

Is depth perception really necessary? I do not think so using this aiming system. I aim with one eye by selecting a spot on the object ball that needs to be contacted to make it in the pocket. I then select a spot on the cue ball that needs to contact the spot on the object ball. Using parallel...

I think I remember that table. It was in a whorehouse in Newport, Kentucky overlooking the river. Maybe some of our Bank Pool players remember it. This would be your best source for info, seeing that they are the type of player going to a place like this.

A new cue...equals...Higher sense of consciousness. End of story.

One study showed that folks who learn a task while drinking, play better while drinking, up to a point. And the folks who learn a task while sober have difficulty doing it when drinking.

if the handle was ebony, it was probably cored to balance and reduce the weight.

This was done on AZBilliards 10 or so years ago. I believe 10 different style of cues were sent to various members to see if they could tell the difference. All the cues were covered so the participants could not identify anything about them. I slightly remember the results but have not been...

Alex Brick is a personal friend and very good cue maker. I ask him first about a custom cue and he suggested that John Davis is a great blank maker, so I contacted John. Many cue makers have someone else make the blank because that is a specialty. Alex was the house pro at JOB Billiards so I...

For nostalgia, I wanted a 'full splice cue'. For old time craftmanship, I called John Davis (RIP) the well known full splice blank maker. After several discussions, we decided he would make the butt. A butt made for playing and not as a piece of furniture. Our decision included an ebony...

Totally depends on the shot.

With a low deflection/longer pivot point shaft, wouldn't a longer stroke be the new normal?

Maintain my charming personality.
