Best to RudeDog, I will miss him here.

I was told that the AZBilliard room was private by the folks at the table downstairs. Wish I had known differently. Anyway, I arrived home late last night after a long 10 day stay.

Well said...

Years ago when I started, the "Babe" Cranfield was showing me how to draw accurately. What he said is to only slightly raise the butt of your cue stick. He explained it as "digging" the CB into the felt, not trying to just spin the ball. It is a complete forward motion, not a jab where you see...

I do not grip it super lightly and there are some stroke shots that I require a momentary firm grip, ie longer draw shots when you need to dig the CB into the felt and some stun shots. My guess is that it is more comfortable for the hand. Just a guess.

When it is real humid and it is just not convenient to hit the wash room, a microfiber towel is a savior. These are non-abrasive towels that suck up moisture much better than cotton ones. (used to clean cars, so they better not scratch) Cotton towels are great too, but the difference is; 1. a...

Happy birthday Tom...........

Try the microfiber towel and if that does not work, yes, a glove.

Try a microfifer towel. If there is a lot of humidity and your hands sweat a lot, you probably need to wipe more often. Microfiber towel might be a very good solution. (also, try without wax and because of excess humidity apply and do not wipe off. Let it sit over night.)

Thanks, Checked that out too. Good thought though.

Info. What started this company was the frustration that "nothing works", at least for any reasonable period of time. We found out that it is what we put on our shaft is what causes the mess. Polishes are the worst. Imagine using a polish on a table and then rubbing your hand on it. The smudge...

The cleaning agent in it removes greases and oils while leaving conditioner behind, it is not meant to do a deep shaft clean. The cleaner also 100% completely evaporates (it is NOT flammable and is very safe, non-allergenic) I shaft is real dirty then follow this; wipe the shaft down, grab a...

Got towels.... Have a whole bunch of white towels coming in with our "SlipStic" name on them. These are LARGE size microfiber ones that attach to your cue case. Microfiber is absolutely the best, better than cotton. Reason is they have a positive charge, dirt and crap have a negative charge...

Just PM me Tanner with info...

Thanks, but that works against us because it lasts too long in some cases. It should last for 4 to 6 weeks, though longer in some cases. For some reason, and we don't know why, a single application has lasted for 9 and 12 months in cases. It might be the players hands, their cue shaft or maybe...

I looked at the Tai-Can "Victory" series cues. They are very unique. I do not remember the link, though I'm sure a Google would do the trick.

I follow you, and agree that speed of stroke, no mater what, will never be consistent. What I do know is that when I'm in stroke, I feel much more relaxed, my pre stroke seems to be closer to a rhythmic consistency with speed, count and length.. As you well stated, what ever gets you there...

Hey doom, I think he was talking about the speed rather than the length. I will stroke a little faster and then slow down one stroke at warm-up. Seems to help. I do this with some consistency, kinda like a basketball free thrower will go through a pattern before the shot.

Maybe some are aware, but the ME is melamine sponge. It is the stuff they use inside of Speaker Cabinets. The discovery of how it worked was by accident.

No question about it ME works wonders, plus you don't have to worry about taking down the shaft's diameter. Also, there are newer variations to ME that work so well you can clean a clear coated Rolls Royce without leaving even the tiniest scratch, assuming you use the right solvent. We had...
