Think of it in a similar fashion to a Tae Kwon Do student paying for the privilege of testing for their Black Belt. They take lessons, pay a fee and take a test. If they meet the standards of the "school" they get a new belt and perhaps a certificate or diploma that states their accomplishment...

I would suggest using a measuring tape or yardstick and finding out for yourself. You got this. I have faith that you can figure this out on your own :)

There are many ways to stick the tip into what ever device you use. It's not rocket science. For my Williard I hold it in one hand and rotate the tip back and forth by holding the shaft in my other hand. You may chose to rotate it only in one direction. Of course you could hold the shaft...

I have a dime shaped Willard's and a simple tip tapper. I've had them for years they work well and will last several years. You can spend more and get less just saying. Also consider that 60 grit sandpaper does wonders especially in one of those $2 sandpaper shapers. Or you could spend $30 on...

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with 9 ball. If players don't like it let them play call shot 10 ball. If those games are too easy why not play 15 ball call shot just like 10 ball but with 15 balls. If that's too easy play call shot 15 ball on a Triple shimmed 6x12 Snooker Table. The sad...

Align your shot with the center of the head ball (at the point it touches the cloth), Hit the cueball on the center of the vertical axis or 2 mm below that center, about 80% of your max speed. Try it.

Welcome Jeff! I hope you have fun helping the players in your area.

As sad as it sounds, the best thing you can do to control for deflection is to buy one cue and stick with it for 10-15 years. Play with it every day so you know how to adjust for it's unique squirt/deflection characteristics. Spend your time working on your stroke and your strategy/positioning...

You raise an interesting point, however, Roger gets paid millions to play tennis because the masses care. The masses don't care about pool or pool players. Many believe the players have shot off both their hands and feet over the years and deserve what their antics/business decisions have...

Thanks for the explanation. I've tried many tips but pressed triangles have been my choice for many years. I keep going back to them. I have a Ki-Tech M in my desk to try the next time I change tips.

What does "Hits a Ton" mean to you? Can you quantify it, or are you really just saying you like the feedback you get when using this tip?

I would go with the 5 in pockets and have some fun.

Randy, let me know when you're passing through Atlanta, I'll cook dinner and I've got a little table near the upstairs kitchen. Miss teaching with you.

I use Butchers Bowling alley wax. After 10 years I'm not halfway through the tin.

show me on Sunday ok?

Congrats to UpStateAl

Very nice gesture Justin. Shaw 27 Mike 22 Shaw 27 Mike 25

You raise a good point but do you remember Alex showing up drunk to play in a tournament a few years ago. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=218577 I don't think Earl disrespects the game like that. Yet few if any called for Alex's ouster. I think Earl has more passion for the game...

Nothing man made is "perfect". I wouldn't worry about a slight taper roll. If people worried more about developing their game playing skills ( stroke, stance, strategy etc.) they would play better. I would go so far as to say that 99% of the time, a missed shot is due to the shooter and not...

Aside from having to fade the table conditions with the open windows, there are some nice rooms there. I'd go with 2 out of 3 in short rack banks and figure no more than an 1/2 hour per match. Some will be over well before that. If you have some less skilled players you might consider...
