==============Got it.:)

I'm not pretending anything. I'm simply stating that this is ONE reason. (The title of this thread is "One Reason Pool is Suffering"). There are people who become discouraged at trying to have a little fun at a pool hall and run into this kind of foolishness. After a prolonged battering of these...

It isn't THE reason, it's one of many, many reasons. Care to share any you may know?

Thank you for the quick reply. I am just now getting to look at it. It appears to be quite deep and informational. I'm going to print it out and take it to the pool hall. I'll give a report on it later. Thanks again.

I know a guy who frequents a pool room out in the country owned and operated by an older (fifties) fellow who runs a pretty tight-laced pool room. He told me this: 1.There is absolutely no profanity allowed or your out on your ear and never to return.If you're heard expressing distaste for a...

Hi Precisionpotting. I sent a request and am looking forward to receiving your PDF as well. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Hope I can learn something.

I've observed that in accounting for collision-induced throw I pay attention to whether the cut angle is to the right or left and I then sight down either the right or left side of the cue shaft and somehow (?) this accounts for it. I may be doing something else here that I'm unable to...

I've used this parallel shifting method for a couple of years now and I have a little saying that is now ingrained in my pre-shot routine. It has to do with the contact points for the OB and CB. The CP on the back of the OB and the CP point on the front of the CB. I just remember to think "Back...

I like shooting drills. My playing has improved so much in the last few years as a direct result of drills. I even do drills practicing the break on one-pocket which has helped that game so much. I've got a certain break I do where I can usually make a ball in my pocket on the break and it sure...

There's a young guy (I'd put him in his late thirties-early forties) who comes into the pool hall I frequent and he totes a cue case that holds 4 butts and 8 shafts. He has those cue grips that fasten to a table and he sets them up, leans all his cues on them, and screws all 4 of his cues...

I have a torn rotator cuff due to an athletic injury and I've never had it repaired. It's been that way for years. Works fine if I don't raise my shoulder too high. This condition limits my ability to use a jump cue. I have to use the "dart method" when jumping so about the only time I'll use...

I'd like to see a picture of the MO-9. I've never seen one before. Sounds like quite the Meucci!

Thank you very much, Tom.

I play 1-P every day but Sunday for 3 to 4 hours each day. I'm a part of a foursome and we have some super-duper games with lots of strategy and plenty of calculated, but daring moves. Rarely do we get into a safety battle that lasts too long because each and every one of us is familiar with...

I've purchased a lot of stuff there including several new cues. Always friendly, prompt service. I've actually met Julia and her husband and know for sure that they go the extra mile to make sure their customers are satisfied. I order stuff routinely from them and feel at ease every time I do.:)

I just got to looking through my Meucci's and low and behold, I have an M-14 with the black wrap. I had sold one I think it was the JR-5 within the past two years, but I still have one left. It's a keeper!

I got a JR-5 in a pool hall one afternoon for $150.00 from a guy who needed drinking money. I sold it a month later for $400.00. I wish now I would have kept it. It was straight as an arrow and in good shape. I'm one of those rare breed guys who actually loves Meucci cues. I've been lucky, I...

I'm with "Straightpool_99". His advice is spot on. I have Tor's CDs and Freddy's banking book and appreciate both very much.:)

There are two other fellows who frequently will show up and challenge the winning team. One man is 83 years old and kind of forgetful, often becoming confused about which corner pocket is his, but a really stout banker and a real fun guy. The other is a man in his late fifties who rarely misses...
