    If a gun was put to your head to choose one player to pocket a difficult shot for you, who would you choose?

    Make the question to involve winning $100 million if the player makes the shot. Then it just might happen with the player expecting a little jelly for his or her effort. The gun to the head just doesn’t sound good to me. The player really doesn’t give a shit if you get killed or not. Hell...

    deflection

    That's just about what I thought you would say. I misread what you wrote. It couldn't possibly be that you responded in a manner that did not fit what trob wrote. I have neither the time nor the inclination. Maybe trob does.

    deflection

    Was the game played without chalk at one time? That fact has nothing to do with chalk pre-dating tips. Yes people who played the game picked up on the fact that off center hits made the cue ball move to one side or the other. If they knew how to solve that problem, it would’ve been done long...

    Just out of curiosity what do you believe is a huge stretch?

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    I'll give your three right now & perhaps more as I have time to think clearly & come up with them. 1) When I'm putting, especially the short ones I keep my head down & listen for the ball to go in the hole. Works for pocketing an object ball as well. 2) When playing pool it is wise to keep...

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    There are many parallels between the two games, but the one first presented in this thread isn't one of them.

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    Do you really think I haven't done the homework? Why don't you tell the forum the whole story behind the numbers above? For everyone, those numbers are achieved by varying the butt weights along with the changing shaft weights to equal 18-20 ounces. But what about those who don't have the...

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    Of course I've done the research, hell I can't help but do the research. You spam the forum with your BS all the time. You know why the vast overwhelming number of cues built fall within the range you came up with? Because the weight range of shafts that fits your model is over an ounce!! In...

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    Tell you what I'll give out the CliffsNotes version using my 16 oz 3/8 x 11 butt in the example. Using your 18% to 22% sweet spot. The range is from a 3.4 oz shaft to a 4.6 oz shaft. That is over 1.2 ounces in shaft weight. Now in another post of yours Bava you said "not that 17% or 23% is...

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    Instead of writing a novel and being condescending, try doing what I asked. Put the f'n numbers down on a reply starting with a 2.8 ounce shaft and end with a 4.8 ounce shaft. Do whatever you want, every tenth or every two tenths. What are you affraid of by doing just that?

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    My favorite cue in the case has a fixed butt weight of 16 oz. I have had in my posssesion a OB Phoenix shaft that weighed 2.8 ounces So for sake of argument let's make that the bottom end & go with 4.2 oz on the top end. Run the numbers Bava for me and the entire forum for say every 2/10 of...

    Predator 314-3 silencer pad question

    Yes I believe the V-Tek pads are phenolic based & the fiber pads are just that fiber. The fiber pads simply do not have the same strength as the V-Tek Pad.

    Predator 314-3 silencer pad question

    If it's a known failure / manufacturer defect the warranty is no problem. I had a Predator butt with a finish lift several years back. They knew about it, had happened to others in that model & was warrantied / refinished. I recently had a tip pop off and took the silencer pad along for the...

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    You are the only one talking about speeding up. I am talking about speed in general to move the cue ball around the table. Spin creates that speed more so than just brute force hit. Can you not answer the question about where you hit the cue ball for running english?

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    I would really have to show you on a pool table. I'll ask you the same question what position on your cue ball is "running english." If you have to get the cue ball around 3 or 4 rails do you use spin or just brute force to create speed?

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    If what I am talking about works with vertical spin, wouldn't it stand to reason that it also works with "turn" spin? Take it to the table & you will see what I mean.

    What position on the cue ball do you hit when using "running english."
