Ha ha, Yeah I know, I learnt my lesson. If I find another, that feels like that. I'll be sure to keep it. Its not not something I can put into words. Sometimes its just the right combination of cue shaft with going with a joint pin that fits, and away you go!! And then you make all the good...

Sheldon, In your experience being a cuemaker /player, which laminated tip has been the most consistent for you over the years? The moori mediums are only ones I've gotten on with lately, that were laminated

Yeah I got that feeling for about 6 months. At the time I was playing around 5 hours a day. and Once I sold the shaft I just thought, I'll go and get another. It will be the same. What an idiot I was, for thinking that!!!

You guys probably think I'm mental here. But is there is any truth In this? I believe there is. I've only experienced it twice. First was a very early kenny murrell, and the other was a with an old masterstroke cue with an old jensen shaft, thay both played amazing well.unfortunately, I had to...

Triangles, Le pros and also WB tips play just fine. It's just matter of finding a nice one. But Thay are around. If your hunting triangles. Stay away from the lighter color ones. The darker ones, play the best in my experience. The elks are bit too soft for me.

Ralf Souquet is the one I remember. He was big name at the end of 90s. Very highly regarded!!

I think your probably right. What age will that be, when you would start to notice the effects?

Bustamante, reyes, archer all played about above the cue. Today's players have gone a stage further, most with the chin on the cue. I don't think it matters. It's ether how your tought, or how grew up playing. I miss the days, when you would see guys on TV, with the big Strokes, making the big...

ideologist, knows better than most of us. He works on these old cues.

Rear weighted is what feels heavier to me. Thats the most common I've come across. Most cases when you pull the bumper out, you will see that long weight bolt. I think length, also will play a part. Balance is a funny thing. When you can feel the weight in the handle. The balance Is further up...

Also the weight stamp has the same treatment, back to your question: it does look like a wood called ipe wood, also known as brazilian walnut. You see that color alot in hoppe cues.

Me Nether,apart from the points and ivory ring, it does look like it's been cared for.nomally the wood shrinks, and the collars pop free. So that part might have been redone. The badge also looks too good. But anyway at that price it is too high, if your going to convert it. I think there was...

I miss the days when you get a original 2 piece hoppe, for under a couple hundred! It's just gone mad now!

That's the way I learnt it.Also replacing the balls behind the spot. When You play someone who can run out, majority of the time. The safety side is important. the spot shot is another factor. After a foul. You can also put the other player, back in,if you don't like the position of the balls.

Great video Dr dave, nice to see someone giving this game, the exposure it deserves!! This one of the hardest games you can play. Took two years, for me to learn this, playing every day. I don't play the ball in hand version. Just play from where it lands.any foul, white goes behind the head...

If the balance feels good, it won't matter. What kind of tip your using, may also play a part in you having to the hit balls harder, to put on the spin. Could even be the shape. Some tips just won't react. I play with a cue that's 21.85 oz and 57.5'' long. I sometimes use a 18.5 oz cue the...

Anybody ever read Ralph Eckert Modern Pool: Technique, Training and Tactics? It's a decent read! Looks at all aspects, for the development in your game.

I just found this on YouTube, it's brilliant interview by Kim Davenport and Reed Pierce. Really good discussion, on a few things. If you ever wondered how, the Europe players, dominance came around, watch this. also they chat about the future, of young American players aswell!!

I'm not a fan of that reaction. No need for it. Its just a way of make a big deal, out of winning nowadays. Seems to be every matchroom event. Could you imagine, someone doing that on a snooker table, after a big win. They would probably get fined, for doing it!!

I remember that year. First year I watched him. Funny enough I commented on that, on another thread. Also was mentioned Judd JT1. Was fantasticly balanced with the ebony handle.
