Owner of those aint walkin nowhere.

CB is over 3 diamonds away. As Bob mentioned, 'you have to hit low, to arrive with stun' at this distance. A centerball hit arrives with roll and would require a cpl tips of left to get around the table reasonably close to the 8. I think center ball ends up with a big cut on the 8 often as...

I agree on why we use multiple rail paths but that bolded statement was just meant to convey that you can execute the shot with a stroke that is easier to execute than a harder stroke required to stun it around. It's not like we are babying the ball, but a smooth comfortable stroke will get the...

It just comes down to what makes the shot highest percentage to execute for the individual player. While a less experienced player will likely find much more success staying on the center axis, a more experienced player will effortlessly and subconsciously adjust for throw/swerve and gain the...

As evidenced by the posts above, personal preference def comes into play here. I think Bob is right tho that most top players hit this with low left. Looks like the 2 best players to respond chose low left as well.

Interesting out of the box approach. Most would disagree, but I guess you've seen this work very well to 'strongly suggest' it.

Abundantly clear now. My response post has been edited to reflect that.

Ah seen. I misread ur post. Thought it was directed at me. I didn't mean to come off luke i was talkin s about bd. I know he good. Must be if playin bad b48ngs him down.

False. Lol. Just in case others couldn't see ur comment was dripping with sarcasm. I will say tho that this entire topic comes down to temperment and realistic expectations. I know sub550s league heroes that think they're world beaters and are insufferable when off anything but their...

Ha. Nailed me. That was actually my response to my snooker friend who asked if playing bad gets me down. Flat out, I just said "I'm not good enough and sure as hell don't practice enough to get mad at pool". That said, while a clear dog vs a wooden rack random ball placement ghost, I am a...

It amuses me to no end to see guys who run a rack a month throwing fits at the tbl and getting mad at their (standard) poor play. I don't get it. To me, u have to be pretty damn good at this game and have invested significant hours of practice to attatch enough expectation to ur results to be...

Yes, ensuring to 'lock and load' the shoulder, as you put it, drastically affects the hang and gives better results. Good posture matters. People that sit at work all day tend to develop slumped shoulders that are internally rotated resulting in the cue pointing way across their bodies...

First guy I saw it from was Bert Kinister. Personally, I think it is great and his students seem to have had much success with it as well. It does a fine job of lining up the joints for a good straight stroke. The vast majority of people will just end up at or very close to the standard...

U got a rare talent bud. Even tho i dont quite get it, it still made me laugh.

Larry Nevel was a boss one handed jacked up. Here's a vid of him pullin off some crowd pleasers. Around the 2:30 mark he hits a few full table draws one handed. His technique is interesting. Wish there was footage of him shooting some regular shots this way as he was very proficient one...

After this thread, I went with a G2 soft. It hardened up an awful amount for me as it got shorter but now that I read your post I see a reason why it may have happened.... The summer was awfully humid amd my cue didn't get much play. Either way, my G2 soft started a lil squishy,was great...

Ye, different companies mean very different things by 'soft' or 'medium'. There are some tip hardness charts comparing various tips you can google and a Kamui soft shows up as a 72 vs a Moori soft at 64. Even a Kamui super soft is 68. Classic Elk Masters tested as 60, which fits my experience...

This. I like Kamuis but for the same kind of feel I prefer, My main player gets a SS and another cue I use sometimes has an S. Ferrules play a big role in feel too. I absolutely love the buttery feel of my buddy's Meucci and he has a medium tip on it but the composite ferrule they use...

Ye maybe it was just the soft one I got. And I do like em soft. It started off a bit too squishy for my liking but that went away fairly quickly and I did like the tip quite a bit. But after a while it hardened up much more than I'm used to as it got shorter and I absolutely hated it by the...

Totally agree. How the CB behaved didn't change when I had a G2 on my cue compared to my regular Kamui. As the G2 compressed it got very hard on me. I hated the feel and even the sound. Back to a Kamui and everything just feels right again. Feedback is more what I'm accustomed to and...
