Say all you want, it's an aiming issue or a stroke issue. So sorry if that offends.

It's not the tip that is off. The problem lies with either aim or stroke or a combination of both. Or it could be the brand of chalk is wrong. Yeah, gotta be the chalk

Full splice cues shoot the cue ball straighter, and the cue ball rolls straighter because a full splice cue shot it. It's a virtuous cycle. It's just common sense. Now please someone come out with a full splice ferule and come take this $$$.

Cores are bad, cuz that's where the seeds are.

It's better because of reasons. In addition, cues with points are where it's at. You would want a woman without points, now would you?

I also pray at the alter of wrapless full splice cues. Half splices are half a$$ 😜

So how much of an adjustment would it take for me to go from traditional maple high deflection to a low deflection carbon fiber? I've never played with even a wood LD shaft before.

I did it on a 7 foot valley with ridgeback rails, but not tight pockets. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, broke and ran a four pack in 8 ball on a 7' diamond, but never did that on a 9' diamond. That old valley was fun to play on. Would play 9 ball races to 30 many times. Racks went...

I base this comment on me running 50+ on a bar box way, way more easily than me running 50+ on a 9 footer. Took me many many tries to run a similar number on my 9' diamond. I ran the 50 something on a bar table on like my third try or so. This was years ago, but that experience made me stop...

Nine foot pool will always be more rewarding and enjoyable to me. I would say I play 95% of my table time on nine footers. I don't cast aspersions on bar table players, but I don't seek to become one. I'll play tournaments on bar boxes every now and then, but it just can't capture my...

I've seen and have shot perfectly struck balls that perfectly hug the rail still rattle and hang up. Very poor design. I'm all for tough but fair, but olhausens are just badly designed, period. IMHO of course.

Olhausens f'd up their pockets. Death rattle it's called. I was forced to play on one all year. I truly can't stand these tables, despite a winning record on them. In fact, I quit my team just to get to play on different equipment next season.

Also, 14.1 is also easier on a bar box. That to me suggests that congestion issues notwithstanding, mean that 8 ball on a bar table is fractionally easier than on a 9 footer. Again, just my experience and observations.

I will only add to this thread that my personal best in 8 ball was breaking and running a 4 pack on a diamond 7 footer. I'm not a world beater, so that was a highlight for me. For what it's worth, I've not done that on a 9 footer. Then again, I rarely play 8 ball on 9 footers, preferring 9 or...

Yeah, shitty bar conditions change everything. Three weeks ago I had to play 8 ball at a bar on 7 foot tables where the conditions were bad, the worst really. Big heavy mudball (only place in town that still uses it), so that alone throws people off. Pair that to ancient balls that are all...

Being 47 years old, this post comforts me 🤣😜

Thanks for this correction... wow, what a performance 😉

Sounds like another worthy thread is needed devoted to Django IMHO.

Being a youngster of 47 years of age, I can finally opine knowledgeably in this thread based on eye witness accounts😄. Butsi will always be one of my all time favs. His unique and dynamic cue delivery will forever be burned into the minds of many. He was a threat to win any event he entered in...

I only saw Jimmy Reid play once late in his life at an early Derby City event at the executive inn way back when....he swished a four rail bank if I recall. I told him nice shot which he thanked me for. Based on comments, Jimmy Reid probably deserves a thread on AZB all his own. Wait, prolly...
