That's a "stroke slip" not a slip stroke. Chua's technique is fun to experiment with. Do it enough and your grip will become nice and loose.

A well known coach and instructor told me after looking at my really light cue that "a light cue is harder to deliver a straight stroke. Harry Sims told me his theory that a rearward balanced cue offers more power since we all have more strength pulling an object than pushing with our arms. I...

Sounds like Jamison Neu chuckling. No?

Interesting your English system/numbers are exactly 1/2 of what I use. For me 3 tips across the short gives me 3 diamonds spread and along the long gives me 6 diamonds with a perfect setup. I'm still struggling with how much spin is added or subtracted depending on the hit and angle of...

You cue builders, and anyone looking for tools should look at Industrial Tool Distributors. I know its not like it used to be with family owned businesses being bought up but... even so. There's tap manufacturers that specialize in specials. Most keep inventory of common specials. and nearly...

Tip Picks are the wrong tool for what you want. Tip Tapper Sandman Course Sand Paper with hard backing, like a hard cue case. ROLL the tip across the above type tools and problem is solved.

I bought an custom? MO7 directly from Bob @ 1975 Burlington IA 9Ball Tourney. I say custom since Bob told me he only made 2 like it. I believe it since 10 years later he recognized it and asked where I got it.

Gotta try to remember a worthy one.

Seniors? How Old?? Of course I'm thinking of Caroms

years ago I commissioned a very light cue. He sent me 2 to try out for a while. One butt he sent a drill through the entire length of the butt. Hollow. Drilling the length of the butt shouldn't change the balance point. Then there's the problem of too much weight being removed. The smaller...

The OP derailed his own thread talking about other thread forms than a basic 60deg 5/16"-18 thread. Cueman offered him the answer. I tried to offer ANSI Specs/Limits in support of Cueman, then he's talking about Acme and other thd forms. Maybe the goal is 100 responses.

Ever see the League Players clean the tables?

The thread form like all machined parts has an tolerance. The Major Diameter is what Cueman is talking about. The chart in this link shows Dimensions for a Class of Fit 2A & 3A. Basically this is how much engagement between male and female parts, or lets say how close of a fit a machinist...

Scalloped Blade? or just fine tooth?

Happened to me my last tournament a few months ago. Earlier I beat a guy I hadn't beaten in years, maybe never but thought we were always close till about 5 years ago when his game jumped big. He retired a year earlier. Well the guy I was up against that said that, I believe I've only beaten...

PM yesyura. I'm thinking he's newly retired, if so he has mentored his main guy for well over 10 years to take over his business.

Looks like there's room for a Carom table right next to this one. I go to Des Moines every 30 days or less.

If anyone looks at Billiardshot's contributions to this site, maybe, just possibly, you all would give him some slack. But of course this is a Forum where we all can hide behind an avatar (like me) Who am I? Tom Paley So what! I'm also a nobody.

Thanks When I get home, I'll try to find my thread pitch gauge and send you a note.

Is there such a person? I have 2 examples, one has a date but not the other. I'm mostly wondering about the other, but the one with a date is signed to a player. Kinda curious on the player but not hopeful that the customer was notable. Of course both cues are typical Martin.. BEM butt...
