BS. You could take a well made maple shaft into a sauna, wipe it down, and it'll be fine. Here in the States, the most humid conditions you're likely to encounter is a pool room in Louisiana where they're boiling a big tub of crawdads in the back. The tables are certainly going to play goofy...

CF is the future for the manufactures selling CF shafts. And please save the "new is automatically better" argument because it ain't necessarily so. Many experienced players will tell you the feedback from a maple shaft -- in terms of feel, sound, and vibration -- cannot be duplicated with...

I think my first cue was a Rich. That photo brings back memories, though mine had a brass joint. Lou Figueroa long ago and far away

I'm not a pro but warming up at a match table I'll hit a couple of lag shots to dial in the speed and that's it. Lou Figueroa usually get them pretty close

I believe that the wood used for pool cue shafts -- which start out as hard, dense, rock maple and have been turned down over the years -- is unaffected by humidity (and heat and cold) and any imagined changes are in the player's head and more of an excuse than anything else. Plus, this is...

"1. This is a more natural length and comes up often in real games." Ah, guess what? So does coming off a rail. "2. This eliminates the luck factor of hitting the rail, every rail reacts differently and it's a bit of a guessing game. Not to mention dead or hot spots" Ah, guess what, if you...

Here in my area, I have noted UPS seemed to be doing a lot of subcontracting. Maybe it was a temporary thing a few months ago but lately all the delivery services seem hit-or-miss. Lou Figueroa don't even get me started on USPS

It's a thing now -- something for the photos and video. Lou Figueroa meh

Nope. Lou Figueroa

Protruding pocket head tacks. Lou Figueroa look and ye shall find

The guys were good players to begin with. And in my experience, what good players do is listen to the instructor and throw out a lot of it and just keep the few things they feel are valid or apply directly to them. Unless an instructor hand-raised them from pups I'm don't think your point is...

arrrrggghhhhh, don't do it! Don't do it!! ...you mean the back of the short bus. Lou Figueroa there, I did it, lol

It might be Bufford Neil -- it's not widely known but they were triplets separated at birth. Lou Figueroa

From Mosconi's blue book. Lou Figueroa

Didn't SVB get hijacked a few years ago? Lou Figueroa

I've been using Taom for quite a while now without any problems -- it's clean and lasts for an amazing period of time. Those having miscue issues might want to check their tip, stroke and/or chalking technique. Lou Figueroa

You are not hitting low enough on the CB. Lou Figueroa

There is no problem with cleaning the CB with whatever. The problem lies with only *one* player being aware it's been done. In tennis, the serving player will hold up two balls prior to serving to show his opponent the balls are new and will, possibly, affect the serve and return. It would be...

I would think you could tell just by taking a whiff. Silcone, Pledge, and wax all have a distinctive odor, no? Lou Figueroa
