Was gifted one of his pressed tips. Loved it. Played similar to my hard pressed Triangles. Must be 200 tips out there. More coming to the market every month.

Happens to everyone once in a while. Every once in a while your evil twin shows up instead of you.

Never know who's going to show up, me or my evil twin who can't make a ball.

I get lucky.

I realize some people have trouble putting things in their eyes but contacts for distance only are perfect for me and I have an astigmatism too. My eyeglasses are progressives lenses. 20/20 vision wearing distance contacts for pool and have to carry readers to see my phone clearly.

We went back and forth earlier. The only things left to decide on is the lightness or darkness of the stain of the birdseye maple and the color and texture of the leather wrap. Using fall tones for the inlays, yellow, rust, red and black. Cut diamonds and dots are abalone.

Waiting for mine currently. Due the end of summer. Not calling.

Could be the length of taper. Taper is a big part of a shaft feeling right to me.

I'm sure. Saw a lot of players using wood shafts in this day and age.

Not quite in the flow of this thread but has anybody noticed that many players in this Open are using wood shafts rather than carbon?

Never realized how many tips are on the market. Hard pressed Triangles for me. Never worry about layers separating with them. The tip and the shaft are the most important components for me. I just don't understand how you can switch out tips often and expect any consistency as a player. Same...

Pros and better players use more center ball than you think. You miscue because you come out of the shot. Lift up a little and the body follows. It's the tip. It's the chalk. It's always you. It's you when you play great and it's you when you play poorly. Oh wait. It's the shaft, no it's the...

Just give the Joss shop one of your shafts with a taper that you like and they will duplicate it for you.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I know you are an avid collector and enjoy the process of custom cue building and getting involved in the process and I also love many of your replies in the various forums on AZB but there is no substitute for pocketing balls. My point is that we may...

Of course I chalk. It's part of my PSR. I rough my tip up with Willard's shaper before play too. But I never blame my tip for my miscuing. I miscue, not my tip especially if I keep my tip in optimal shape and chalked. The archer doesn't blame the arrow or his bow if he misses the target either...

You are lifting up starting with your head. The sooner you stop blaming everything but yourself the sooner you will improve. Look on the bright side. You can blame yourself when you win too. The tip didn't make you win. You did.

Tips don't miscue. Players miscue. They come out of their shots. A slight head lift too early will change your entire stoke. The body follows the head.

Stop worrying about your shaft and just play pool. Your shaft doesn't care about you or if you're stroking through the ball well.

Pretty hard to concentrate on your game, patterns and such if you are thinking about your shaft while shooting. Kidding not kidding. Perhaps people eat while playing and get stuff on their shafts. I dont know. I never clean my shafts. They're smooth as a baby's bottom, always. How do you get...

Hope you're well bud but try looking at the table not up at the lights. I think the lights do a great job illuminating the table.
