I had one on a break cue for a while for playing in tournaments/leagues that didn't allow phenolic break tips. It was good for that purpose (later replaced with a Samsara tip which is better, though), but really hard for playing tip in my opinion.

Good balls. Here's another option: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belgian-Aramith-Premium-Pool-Balls-Best-Value-in-Balls-FREE-US-SHIPPING-/221350544207?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338985434f. Joerackem (no affiliation) has a pretty good reputation around these parts as well.

I took the bumper out of my main playing cue and fabricated an aluminum screw-in "plug" of sorts. It just felt a little more crisp/"alive", as others have mentioned, without the rubber bumper.

Here's a site with a variety of links. The ones listed under SkySports are working fine for me. http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=234253&part=sports

1 set of Super Aramith Pros I use daily, and one set of super cheap-os I bought to hold me over while waiting for the Super Aramith Pros.

I think the big tournamenet room had Murrey's from what I remember.

Some other options might be the Neon Gravevard and the Pinball Hall of Fame/Museum.

That's cool; I think it's most likely a light cueball as others have stated. I remember reading something (maybe in the 8-ball Bible) about the old valley coin-op cueballs that were slightly heavier than the object balls. They'd allow for the "opposite" of what you see here, where you could...

I bought a cheap copy a few years ago and I have to say that I don't think there's much instructional value. It's basically Dave running a bunch of racks, Archer playing with him a bit (it's mostly Dave though), and Mizerak talking about how great Dave is. From what I remember, Dave doesn't...

It was at MGM grand last year FWIW.

I have two custom cues from Paul Sumrall at S&S cues (posts here as godofthunder I believe). He was very responsive, communicative, and professional. Also, his cues play mighty fine if I do say so:thumbup:

LOL. This post needs some love :-)

For what it's worth, my intention surely wasn't to unilaterally dismiss the idea that it could be useful/helpful to see the cue ball, object ball, and pocket at the same time. However, when you speak in absolutes (as others have mentioned) there is very little room for debate or discourse...

The target isn't the pocket in my example , though, it's the contact point on the object ball. Cryden was right on. Your analogy would be more appropriate if we're comparing the ability of the target shooter with that of a pool player to deliver the cueball to the contact point on the object...

Why do you need to see the pocket at all once you're over the ball? It seems to me that to pocket a ball, you need to a) properly identify contact point on the object ball that will send it to your intended target (i.e. the pocket) and b) ensure through your setup, stroke mechanics...

Nevermind: brechbt beat me to it

I just wanted to make a quick bump here. I've had this cue for almost 1 year and still absolutely love it. I have 5 other cues and hardly touch any of them anymore; this cue plays just wonderfully. Kudos again to Paul for making a wonderful cue and being a great builder to work with.

Only a few days left...my productivity seems to be slipping as the date nears and I watch more youtube videos of old matches :D
