That would ruin everything. More fun to try to figure it out with speculation and theories.

Cue ball hit the second row - 12 ball - and then caromed off the corner ball - 10 ball - and scratched. I agree outside would probably have avoided that. At 1:08:00 he nearly scratched in the same pocket.

A good way to find out would be to ask him. I suspect he thinks it eliminates any flaws in his stroke and gives him a more consistent spread - or something.

6:10 and 1:02:30

What you explain at the beginning of the second video happened twice during the Filler vs Gorst match. Once by each player. Scratched off the rack in the corner pocket on a break shot.

At least :) I noticed at 6:10 and 1:02:30 they both made a similar mistake on the break shot. The seemed to be guessing on their break shots sometimes and would benefit from a lesson or two with Ray Martin or Mike Sigel. Poolmanis in his second video showed how to avoid that.

I have a similar Dufferin with butterfly veneers in the butt and pin in the shaft. I paid $10 for it at a pawn shop and after the tip on my phenolic break cue got messed up I pulled out the Dufferin and have been using it for a few months. Still rolls straight and breaks as good or better than...

We all know how high a gear Earl has when he is in stroke. That's why I'll watch.

Thanks for taking the time to make that video.

I'll bet he has a nice run somewhere along the line.

I have a question you are uniquely qualified to answer since you saw 30 of Mosconi's exhibitions. At the "Mosconi Cup" the fans in the stands are acting like buffoons trying to shark the players and apparently the organizers and referee approve. What would Mosconi have done if the audience was...

I have a Schon SL-5 and I like it but I can't use it any longer because I can't use a cue with a wrap. Cue is probably 25 to 30 years old. Still rolls straight. Can't speak for the newer ones. Free advice - don't run a nail across your cue.

Did he call the billiard?

I agree - I'd take that deal but to put that in perspective Max Scherzer just signed a contract with the Mets paying him $40 million a year for 3 years. In 2021 he threw 2,821 pitches. If he repeats that in 2022 that comes out to $15,300 per pitch.

Fun player to watch.

I can't answer the paypal question but welcome to the forum.

The only one of the cuemaker you mentioned that I met in person was Jim Buss. I'm pretty sure he is retired now but he seemed 100% honest to me. He showed me a couple cues he made early on when he was learning and he refused to sell them because he didn't think they were good examples of his...

My experience with force follow and precise position is no hop keeps the spin on the ball best and causes me to locate the cue ball where I want it. The best way to achieve that is a level stroke.

With both balls off the rail I'd use right and a little high. Try to use as level a stroke as possible so the cue ball takes the English and doesn't hop.

Gorst vs Filler. Entertaining match and excellent commentary. Gorst made a mistake at 11:00 I find myself making sometimes. Focused on getting the correct spin on the ball to break open the cluster and lost focus on pocketing the ball.
