20 hours :eek: :shakehead: :yikes: Are you frickin' serious? That is some quality time there... I think what I'll do is attempt it on a small area of the wrap, say something like one inch around and two inches long and see if the overall effect is worth the trouble, and also how long it...

The best idea of what I'm looking for, but not the same as my idea above, can be seen in this picture: The surface of the basketball is stippled. There are many different forms of stippling, some using tiny spikes similar to a nail point, others like the nail sets in my original post...

I have 2 black dot shafts, had a Predator 314, and have an OB-1. I no longer really use the OB-1, but I've kept it to put on a butt for friends to shoot with. What I use is a very low deflection shaft, with normal design: 11mm tip, 15 inch pro taper, 1/2 inch ferrule, milk dud tip. What's it...

There's another possibility. Bob Jewett has been playing for years with a cue that has no ferrule, simply a pad underneath the tip. Taking a clue from him, when one of my cues developed a cracked ferrule, I decided to cut the ferrule and tenon off and install a pad, in this instance one of...

I've seen several like that. Only problem is there's a seam when using sheet leather, and I'd need to have one of those special jigs to do a really nice job. I already experimented several times with trying to install a sheet leather wrap and wasn't pleased with the result. Perhaps if I invested...

I shoot with an 11 mm shaft. Could it go smaller? Of course. Patrick Johnson (poster on AZ) uses a shaft that is somewhere in the 9 mm range, if memory serves. Flex

Wow! As of this time, there have been 74 views of this thread, yet nary a comment. When I get back home, I'm thinking of doing some experimenting with this idea. Picture this: a thick stack leather wrap (thick as in perhaps 1.5 mm thick, not wide) done in a deep cordovan color. Then finished...

While Knob Creek is great, Bookers is simply the finest bourbon I've ever had the pleasure to sip. There may be others that are superior, but I sure haven't found them. Flex P.S. Welcome back!

That's really saying something. At the one pocket tournament at Chris's recently, there was one table that Gentile ran out that positively amazed me. He was playing Jet. Flex

I have an idea and wonder if anyone here has ever tried this or seen an example of it. Install a thick stack leather wrap, in whatever color desired, and then stipple the leather with nail sets, such as these: Afterwards, spray several coats of Proshine (can't seem to locate it online, but a...

Ever try Bookers? Or Knob Creek? Flex

In your opinion, is Marco better than Chris Gentile?

Unfortunately, calling every little detail gets into peoples' minds and can lead to fights, especially if there's money riding on the game. That's just one reason I hate bar pool. Flex

After the cowboy leaves, we can take heart with that fellow from AZ land... They say he's a maverick, and takes a flier sometimes.

Calling the "kiss" is unnecessary. The only requirement is to call a specific ball in a specific pocket. Calling kisses, caroms, billiards, combos and so on are unnecessary. Flex P.S. 3.4 CALLING SHOTS For games of call-shot a player may shoot any ball he chooses, but before he...

During a self defense situation.

My post was about checkering, not Winchesters!
