    Ohhh Jeanette....

    deflection? The ad says nothing about deflection. The more I practice, the luckier I get & the better I perform with strange house cues. However, I still do better with my USS, which also improves with practice.

    tangent line

    As always, AZers are generous with sage & explicit advice. These posts should keep me locked in the basement until the early morning hours. Now that I recently got my own table ($700 unfinished antique Brunswick Madison) my stroke has significantly improved, but I am frequently unable to predict...

    What do you guys consider slow play?

    sleep apnea Sounds like a case of sleep apnea. People who stop to watch the ball game, talk to friends, engage in mating rituals with every passing bimbo... are the real culprits.

    Chinese Pool Tables?

    8' antique Brunswick Madison I got it for $700 including cloth, balls, rack, bridge, & set up. It is unfinished so it is not pretty. But I play on it & let my wife fantasize about refinishing it. It is hidden in the basement with my power rack & ugly improvised deadlift platform. Function...

    Thinking About Buying Universal Smart Shaft Any Testimonys! Good Or Bad?

    try them Find a dealer who will let you try them all in the store. I spent about 6 hours trying different cues, and shafts. I tried cues as expensive as $2000 just to have a basis for comparison. Function is more important than aesthetics. I settled on the USS with a Players butt.

    Maximum draw/follow/side

    I need clarification. Many books I read emphasize that the cue be "level" which I interpret to mean parallel to the table. Conforming to this advice on most shots is helpful & appears feasible. However, this seems physically impossible if I am hitting the CB in the vicinity of the red line. I...

    Break cue Weight, WHAT DO YOU USE

    Does the anatomy of the player enter into the equation eg. body weight, strength, ratio of slow/fast twitch musle fibers? Wouldn't a 21oz cue in the hands of Lou Ferrigno move as fast as a 17.5 oz cue in the hands of Woody Allen?
