I don't know all the particulars but what I believe is that Jacoby got licensed to sell Schueler cues under that name. A Very Long time employee of Ray Schuler's shop was given Permission by the Schuler family to carry on the joint design. That would be Noel Mendoza. He signs his cues "Schuler...

I don't know all the particulars but what I believe is that Jacoby got licensed to sell Schueler cues under that name. A Very Long time employee of Ray Schuler's shop was given permission to carry on the joint design. That would be Noel Mendoza. He signs his cues "Schuler by Mendoza" His...

My Dieckman cues didn't go through 18 years of turning. But maybe from squares to round then cut to a general shape then rested for months and years before finished. All my shaft wood were 20 years and older when I purchased them new from Dennis. I believe he originated the phrase "River...

I found a Hoppe Pro cue that needed joint and ferrule work, plus I wanted 2 new shafts. I sent it to Noel and he built the new shafts with the Schuler joint (metal pilot) and the original shaft came back with the Schuler design except with a Hoppe style wood pilot. He did a great job on...

We're We're both too old to change our habits. Early on in my learning/lessons I was told to pick up my chalk and put it in my pocket. 3C of course has rules about chalk on the rail, pool doesn't as far as I know. The only bother I have is there's a piece of chalk in my way... So I simply...

And stuff like this doesn't help to get more women into cue sports.

Very basic answer to the OP No, CTE doesn't say a 1/2 ball hit makes every shot. The beginning setup/alignment is a 1/2 ball view. Then pivot the tip left or right depending on the shot. I'm no expert but had 3 very long conversations with Hal Houle on the subject. The length of the lesson...

Took a tune up lesson a couple weeks ago. My request to the Instructor was to 1st check out my Fundamentals, then we can get into your 2nd lesson. Back Story... I took his lesson and at the end he told me our 2nd lesson will be CB Control! I never took that lesson and it ate on me for...

Reminds me of the women Distance Fly Caster. She won an International competition. The next year the rules were changed. The casters had to use leaded sinking line. She didn't have the strength to compete and the point of the rule change. She laughed it all off in an interview. Back to...

Before I chose my light I asked the Mfg to show me how well it would cover the whole table. Of course I was most concerned with extreme edges & corners. They sent me a few maps with brightness #'s (forget the term) with various distances from the table. The BCA has a spec requirement for...

From the TSA site. Pool Cues Carry On Bags: No Checked Bags: Yes For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page. *** The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. ***

Try Mark Wilson's training. Back foot is pinned 90 degrees to the wall, then get into your stance with your stroke hand against the wall. Barring a wavy wall, your stroke will be straight. You may notice wanting something else to happen, but the wall will rule.

Does look nice. Wonder what it feels like and how consistent they are tip to tip from the same batch. I like hard tips. Sometimes I have to remove and hope for the best on the next tip. Wish I a place for a small repair lathe.

My eye dominance automatically shift depending on which way I'm cutting the ball. What else am I missing??

Oops, I didn't read this before my post. I've never met PJ. Don't know a thing about him other than what he writes here. The only thing we have in common is when I'm in Chicago I go to Chris's Billiards. If he was there on any of my rare visits? I don't know. I assume he's on a pool table...

A smaller tip allows you to better SEE the offset better. You can get the same offset with a 15mm tip. Its just harder to see the the tip to CB relationship. Between 9mm and 15mm tips with the same radius, the chalk patch is the same size. How does a smaller tip produce more spin with the...

This simply tells me you table doesn't play to the system. No table on earth plays Absolutely EXACTLY to any system. Most pool tables I've ever played on don't comply to the corner 5 system. They're a basically 1 diamond short. Meaning. the Corner 5 System says the 2nd diamond on the 3rd rail...

I think we would have to have a face to face conversation for me to get what you're saying. What's is a "trigger finger"?

Thank you for your time on this. Having fun again on several discoveries. So far this one seems to be a big one. Can't turn the clock back but enjoy learning new stuff regardless of age. I have a 6 hour lesson scheduled next week, just because. The lesson is CB Control. The instructor...
