    Three Rails Around Question

    I can hit that shot with about 1.5 diamonds variance pretty easily, depending on speed and english. I'm guessing that you are hitting too hard with full running, maybe a bit of draw. The shot is for medium speed and medium running.

    Comprehensive list of drills?

    Oh, I didn't miss anything. Any drill that uses more than two object balls set on specific points are not drills, they are games or challenges. Practicing draw only requires one OB. Practicing cuts only requires one OB. Practicing specific shape scenarios only requires one OB, but a second...

    Comprehensive list of drills?

    Asking for a comprehensive list of drills proves that you don't understand what a drill is or used for. A drill is supposed to be something that breaks parts of a game down to their essence, so a person can work on skills in a methodical manner. Most of the drills I spent time on as a young'un...

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    Lots of throwback details to the classic early goldcrowns with none of the elegance. The ball return tray and gerbil cages for the balls are ridiculous.

    Acrylic Crack Repair?

    It would probably work in the correct situations. It does not intrinsically have any gap filling properties, and it is a solvent type adhesive. If you have a tight crack, it will probably work. A big concern is that since it is a plastic weld, the bond is made by dissolving some of the base...

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    Does this mean I'm not invited to your next sleepover?

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    Why would we be 'heated' over someone begging for a cheap cue...that isn't exactly a sign that you are winning the game of life. Personally, I engage to see what stupid crap you'll post in reply.

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    Just because someone is selling something does not mean they are making a profit on that item. Pretty simple life lesson that most preteens know. Maybe he has had that cue for a year and generated no interest in a sale at higher prices. Maybe he is a beginning cuemaker willing to sell some...

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    That's one perspective. The other is that future questions of the sort may be avoided by answer and expressing opinions here.

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    Don't be an idiot. Of course the plumbers are charging for their tools, their insurance, their vehicle, their journeyman upgrade classes, etc.. So when your plumber quotes you $100/hr, he isn't putting $100/hr in the bank. This is exactly what Mr. B was saying, at $300, less the cost of the...

    What if he figures the materials are $297? Not the quickest email are you?

    Searching For a Cue Maker To Tackle a Custom Kielwood Cue Shaft

    He said he already had a quote, but it was too expensive (or at least higher than 'other' makers charge). Maybe searching for a unicorn costs money... Personally, I wouldn't change a tip for this guy for under $500.

    Is Predator's move into every aspect of pro billiards really a good thing?

    Jeebus, let it go. I don't think they make great products and they market them. That's all I said. They make okay cues that I find ugly, just like their stupid kitty logo. You think they are great, bully for you. I don't. Stop crying about my opinion.

    Lesser penalty than BIH for fouling?

    Maybe just a rule staying that the one or fifteen can't be shot with bih? If it is the last ball they have, they spot a ball and shoot that.

    Cost of cue refinishing

    Maybe a different perspective... ...leave it alone. It doesn't look like it is in horrible shape, let the dings and scars remind you of the fun you had putting them there.

    Horizontal Draw

    I'm not positive I really follow what you are saying. You have written a confusing run-on sentence, maybe use a comma or two next time. But...I never said that side is draw. I said that in certain situations side can produce the same or similar effect as draw.

    Offset taper measurement

    0.800 is a tiny joint. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the durability.

    Looking for a cue maker that will make a plain jane or merry widow cue for 300$

    And put their name out there for making $300 cues. I wouldn't make a cue for $300, but I've given several away. I'll work for actual nothing instead of working for an insulting amount.
