    Adam Classic cues

    Bump for more info. I've always been a bit curious myself.

    Break & Run 15 Balls on BB?

    Wait now. You spotted balls made on the break, you played out of the kitchen after the break, you ran out 7 out of 10 times, and you never had less than 10 in any rack, and you're calling yourself a C+? Sounds to me like you're selling yourself a bit short my friend.

    If Diamond tables didn't bank short...

    To say that was harsh would be like calling Hurricane Katrina a thunderstorm.

    Break & Run 15 Balls on BB?

    Ran out 3 of 4 racks, that's pretty strong Johnny. My focus is crap. I tried this yesterday and only got out once in 5 tries. On the other four, I missed easy shots due to a lack of concentration.

    If Diamond tables didn't bank short...

    I've heard from more than one person that this is a huge issue with the new Valleys.

    Table Preference Poll

    Same here. It's a simple thing, but it does get annoying if you're playing a lot. And the worst is when you get complacent about it, and forget a ball in one of the pockets, and you have to go back around the table again looking for it. Don't lie, we've all done it. Also, I just thought of...

    If you could ask Earl "The Pearl" Strickland any Questions what would they be???

    Someone can jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Earl has been using Elkmaster tips for quite some time. Corey Deuel uses them, too.

    What would you do here?

    I'd break my own rule of putting the OB near the 9. If this works, and your opponent gives up BIH, it's a very basic 1-9 combo for the win. http://CueTable.com/P/?@3ARXh2BJdj2CYlo3DLnK2EDmY1FWXJ1GIRb2HCAp2INUb3PTdx3URXh2UIOc2UFMp2UAmu2VJdj2VMnW2VPok2dNUb2dRMc3kTdx3kRgr@

    Break & Run 15 Balls on BB?

    Cleary my man, I have to respectfully disagree with you. I don't think you're giving the drill enough credit. On a barbox, there tend to be more clusters and trouble balls than a 9 footer. With that said, if you can't break out the 2-4 balls that usually get tied up each rack, your run is...

    Why Delta 13?

    If it's hard for you to get a tight rack with the Delta, then something isn't right. Maybe it's all those divots you pounded into the cloth with your Sardo that are interfering with it.

    Grip Hand Turning Under At End Of Follow Through

    I had the same problem as the OP, and what Randy mentions here ended up being the cause (as evidenced by the video we were shooting at the time). The solution was, as told to me by Scott Lee and mentioned now by Randy, to find a grip position that puts your arm at exactly perpendicular at...

    My Demo Program, Test the New Tiger Pro X Shaft - Free!

    Just sent my info in as well. I, like everyone else so far, am pretty excited about this! It's a very cool thing you're doing, Chris. So we're starting with the Pro X, and I assume you're planning the Ultra LD as well. Any other LD shafts you're considering doing this with? More...

    Why Delta 13?

    Sorry dude, the Sardo rack is junk. It creates divots and craters in the cloth ... no thanks.

    Anyone Wanna Split a room in NYC for TAR 19??

    I'd love to go, man what a trip it would be. Too bad I'm tied down by things like a job, a wife, and responsibilites. And the fact that I'm 1,500 miles away from NYC. I hope whomever shacks up with you guys has a great time!

    Phenolic Break Tip

    I believe it's in BCA Leagues that they are not allowed on break cues. (Not 100% sure)

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    Unnecessary, but if it works for you, then go with it :)
