    Have you seen a FAKE/counterfeit cue?

    I saw a pretty nice looking cf shafted cue one table over from me and asked the young Vietnamese kid about it. He just laughed and told me he spray painted and coated the shaft himself for the cf look. Called it his 'Plebator".

    Burnishing tip

    I accidentally burnished my tip so shiny by just completing strokes on the top edge of a lazy boy chair that when I had my shaft brought down, the cue guy said he can burnish the sides on the lathe no problem but he won't get it buffed to that level. So there is that as an option. As far as...

    When you're not feeling it

    'Off' can be a combo of mental and physical. Usually leaning on my process and going through my psr rights the ship. All those psr components are in there for good reason and some help the physical while others take care of the mental, so use them. Starting to tinker at the table and...

    Does Anyone Ever Get to the Point of Saying...

    While not quite, 'this is as good as I can ever get', there are days which wildly outperform the level I can reasonably expect to reproduce given the amount of work I am currently willing and able to put in. The good ole, "You're not as good as your best day and you're not as bad as your worst...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    Damn. At half a day's wage rate, you can use ur phone to make ur own porn with the help of a professional rather than just watch.

    Early Stage AI pool commentator

    I like it. Tho to not need new sets of balls, i'd suggest the colors we already have.... Red: 3, 7, 11, 15 Orange: (fatboy approved) 5, 13 Yellow..... well u get it...just use the colors they already are. Lil tougher this way since we have only groups of two after the initial group of 4 but...

    I went back today...

    The soft composite ferrules Meucci uses on their 'pro' shafts make those cues hit like butter. My friend's meucci is the sweetest hitting cue I've ever tried. From the sound to the feel in my hand, I love that hit. Do yourself a favor and try it sooner rather than later. Maybe it'll...

    What would you have done?

    I'm generally against calling fouls sometimes but not other times as if we're playing pickup basketball. Just the other week I saw two friends in such a game where one apologetically called a foul on an obvious whiffed OB foul and cleared up the last two balls for the win while his friend...

    "You don't swing golf, you play golf"

    "You don't swing golf, you play golf"

    If you stick around for award ceremonies, the winner of The Open Championship has been referred to as "Championship golfer of the year" when receiving the Claret Jug since they started handing it out. Take the L and move on. 'Golf' has been used as a verb for as long as ppl have been golfing...

    "You don't swing golf, you play golf"

    The saying is "you play golf, not golf swing". The pool equivalent would obv be , "you play pool, not pool stroke". What they mean is to focus on the game and executing your shots rather than focusing on what u are doing with ur body or the tool in ur hand in order to execute swings/strokes.

    Mosconi/Reyes Cup

    I'd go with... Captains should play a rack to determine first break in team match. Call it "the 5 minute lag" match. I don't think they should be playing for points, but a ceremonial rack to kick things off with first break as the prize, i'd def be down for. And if it's Reyes...let him...

    How to tighten up my stoke.

    Post a vid and we may get to see WHY you are having these issues as they are not 'causes' as you called them, but symptoms. The two issues you listed are two sides of the same coin really. If you twist, the hand goes inside (left) relative to the elbow for a righty. This leaves you with...

    Identify the hustler part deux

    A career hustler I knew would spend hours practicing a 'good miss'. He had an uncanny ability of knowing when a guy is a dog to get out so he just let em try and mopped up the leavings. Every match against him felt like u were close and did it to yourself. If a guy was too good to just...

    Working on my stroke - the golf tee edition

    Im with bc21 here. In order to just barely knock over the tee, u 'missed' exact center by what? 1/16th of a tip? Less? Pretty insignificant. But the tip-return drill is a good one to do. Idon't really see how the tees improve it in any way tho. If the cb returns to ur tip and hits dead...
