It is very real in fact many times you can not just hear the skid, but also see the OB not rotate for a moment and hop. The main problem is humidity which allows chalk to stay on the ball. The other problem is the polishes that are put on the balls. (It is not just chalk.) If you were to rub two...

Yeah, I got the story from someone up here in Rochester. I do like the real one much better. You are definately one of the top 14.1 players. One thing that is very impressive is that many of the top players were in pool halls all the time, no families till later in life. You on the other hand...

Irving Crane and others use to say poolshark52 played the best patterns of anyone in 14.1. Of course poolshark52, the story I heard as I wasn't here at the time, played Irving a game to 100 when he was a young kid. Poolshark52 ran out 100 on Irving and Irving turned and looked at him and...

Thanks guys... Hey Bill, great pictures again. Thanks so much.

Howard sells them. I lost his contact info, maybe someone here knows it. . .

I think I agree also though I'm sure there might be some good reasoning to differentiate from other pool used term. Some considerations to events that take place; The ball is being pushed off line. The cue shaft flexes. The CB curves. Spin causes or minimizes throw. (The shooter misses.) Just...

Interesting. But even more interesting is that I finally realize why I use BHE. I use it to keep the CB on-track. I also change up my stroke to accommodate a shorter or longer bridge. I guess these are some of the many things we take for granted. Amazing that we make these adjustments over time...

For really dirty shafts, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works very good. This product works because the tiny fibers are so small that they can get into places detergents can't. It is the fibers and not the cleaners that really do the cleaning job. You do need to somehow rinse off the fibers left behind...

10 ball and call ball... As more money is paid out in tournaments the more people will want to play the game. The result is that there will be an even greater # of A+ players and games will need to be tougher. 8 ball will be in but I think instead of nappy felt, the tendency will be towards...

Say Hi to Pat Howey for me.. One of these days I be down to Tampa. Thanks

3 man team and a race format is best in my opinion.

Haha, it was my pleasure. Actually that was my son's cheap $80 cue (you wouldn't now it though). You were on fire though. All you have to do is keep it going. I'll get back into it once things slow down a little for me. Also while your in Vegas for the BCA make sure you stop by Professor Q...

SlipStic contains no moistures, even though it is in liquid form. Also, it will not mix with moistures either while remaining consistent from -100 deg. F to +700 deg F. SlipStic Conditioner is a more uniform as opposed to a concoction. It is not a polish or slicker, it's a conditioner to...

I'm sure you are just joking. I for one enjoy many of Colins posts. Even though I do not think the twist not transfer was not fully understood, hehe..(High left was used in the video to get pure right on the OB, if the shooter used pure left the OB would have had high right on it) \\ I think...

Thank you for sharing. Will miss him.

Mike Webb said it does, though will not last as long as a wooden shaft. What I have heard from others though is that the Cleaner by itself works wonders (blue bottle). Our cleaner is a solvent and in this case you can probably use any good solvent. The only difference in ours is that it...

No, when it is off the rail by 1/8 inch.

I was referring that the effects throw is small by comparison to curve. Regarding your comment; You know the shot with the OB at the middle of the foot rail (just a 1/8 inch off the rail) and the CB at spot in the head rail. To make this shot you must hit it harder than medium speed or no...

CB curve as a result of english has a greater impact to causing a missed shot than throw. However, I have heard of an aiming method that does state to always aim at the same spot no matter the english used and then align the cue differently depending on whether using outside or inside english is...

This can be an attention draw by all means. What really is great here is that even though we might slip up once and a while, we learn in the process. Lots of great stuff and I for one enjoy it immensely. Just like anything else in "real life", there are those that are the mathematicians and...
