Looks like we not only have weak minds but weak bladders too?? ;)

When I first started playing these games, my mentor owned a large saw mill in Southern IL. He was 85 when I met him in 1973 and was the last logger in Illinois to log with horses. He knew a few things about wood. He told me the best thing for my shaft was the oil from my hand. Wondering if...

Had the pleasure to watch Cannonball practice some in Burlington Iowa 1975. I was only 2 years into the game so very impressionable but he still sticks in my memory. He spent very little time looking at his shots - was freewheeling but as I remember, he didn't miss and the OB was many times...

I accidentally installed a hard tip from my small collection/selection of tips. I was really bummed, since I didn't want to go through the work again, so I decided to just suck it up for a while and see. After a month or 2 of switching shafts from Med tip to Hard tip, I started to like the...

Mine balances at a typical 18" mark.

Well the goal I suppose is to end up with positions that only require a light touch. I'm not that good. Shots similar to this one are fairly common as far a letting out the stroke.

3Cushion That's really all I play except once every 60 or so days I try to teach a guy some basics on a pool table.

It's a home table. Cloth lasts years.

Yes I play with the cue regularly although I added 1.5oz. Love it!

My Mechanic puts in a similar amount of staples. His work is 100 times more professional than the OP's photos. Those pics deserve to be in the Hack Thread. He's the one that has to deal with his work but he has a removal technique that allows him to remove 30' of staples in short order.

Years ago when I received my 15oz Dieckman, I showed it to Mark Wilson. He said, ya, you'll be able to apply more English with a light cue, but a heavier cue will help with a repeatable delivery. Delivering the tip to within 1/2mm of your target.

I was told by a US National 3C Champ that nearly everyone has a weak side. Normally for a right handed player Left hand English would be the weak side. His theory/explanation was (with a closed bridge) there's more support against your hand than forefinger & thumb. When you strike the ball...

You'll get some decent advice from this thread, but interpreting the posters' words vs their thoughts very likely will lead you to some other place. Hit a Million Balls seems to be a fav mantra. Find and invest in a Certified or Highly Credentialed Instructor. They can reduce your table time...

Taking slight exception to not learning some systems. IMO a true beginner needs to acquire some basic knowledge of basic CB paths. Understandably, few tables "play by the book" but if there's no knowledge of the math/paths then how does a person learn a table is playing long or short and...

If you slow the vid to 50% speed, you can hear the CB kiss the OB after the 1st rail. I don't think that kiss helped the shot. Just saying I hear a kiss.

Can't see points & butterflies in my cue if more than 5' away. That's what I asked for. Do the work but don't want to show it across the room.

If that doesn't work you and since you're ready for new, consider 760 or better yet 300
