    Stroke - which muscles to use, which joints should move

    Imagine what golf fans would be saying if the cameraman zoomed into the teed up ball just before seeing the swing. Like they do, with zooming in on the Cue Tip Striking the CB. WOW, Lots to learn with that film. Pretty ridiculous how cue sports are filmed.

    Stroke - which muscles to use, which joints should move

    Yes I think generally Carom Players stand taller. I think the gap is closing. My first lesson 35 years ago I was instructed to stand much taller. The argument was that you can see the angles much better. For me, as I started clocking the CB more I started getting closer to the cue in order...

    Stroke - which muscles to use, which joints should move

    I was taught to stand tall and over the years I've gotten lower... again. We don't see many tall standing players anymore in 3 Cushion Not like the Fat Man for instance. I guess my question was, how in the heck can you move a CB so gently? Maybe you answered that. It's a wrist only...

    Stroke - which muscles to use, which joints should move

    On the other hand, if you want the least amount of power possible, the wrist is prime. I watch Balkline and Straight Rail on occasion and the light touch is nearly super human to me.

    How many luman's and what color temp do you think is good for my table's light?

    There's a BCA spec for lighting. Prior to purchasing my light I asked the manufacturer to tell me/map the coverage for a 5x10 area. Even though the map complied, I added down lights around the perimeter, attempting to minimize shadows.

    Can a soft tip be hardened while on the shaft?

    I was told by, lets say an historian, that old timers would bounce their cue tip on a hard floor to create the dreaded mushroom. Then Trim and Pound again till ... We all know tips harden with play. This may be an answer???? I've done this for the mushroom thingy. I'm sure the tip hardened too.

    Sharking Moves

    I didn't read this whole thing so bare with me. I look at "Shark Moves" as being distractions a player might make after the negotiation for a game. Standing in front of the shooter, Whipping their cue off in plain view. Bringing in a 10 to sit and watch the game. BS like that. If you're...

    How long or UNUSED tips good for?

    LOL The Fat Man would carry a few tip in his pocket for months or years. No telling. He claimed simply handling them improved them over time. He came in one day and handed me a bunch of tips he claimed he pulled off a cue rack from an old pool hall. The owner apparently glued cue tips on when...

    Wood Shaft Pin - Graphite Shaft Adapter

    Ok, So a couple years ago I looked into graphite and couldn't find Blanks that could be adapted to anything. Just did a new search and found a few blanks. Of course nothing is exactly my joint diameter. Some are close.. but? I'm not a cue builder. Only spent several days with Dennis and a...
