yeah I get it, I never worry about contact point either.

Seems backwards to me. The cue ball seems to me to be the only real target I can control. I get the pv part, but only to the point of being aware of making a straight stoke, but it seems the main focus should be hitting the cue ball correctly.

No. And even if you could actually figure it out, ever, you still have to be able to aim another ball at it from yet a different angle and actually hit it accurately. Like I said,,,,,,, I call BS. And why would you need to remember a sine table or even the sine for 10 different angles? If you...

I was being sarcastic, I actually think it's a load of BS.

I just think memorizing sine tables is cool as shit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The fit is the same, thread engagement is smoother with the wax coating, so without the friction of the precision fit. My truck isn't bigger when I wax it either. Maybe I just know how to do it?

Kind of an odd comment actually. They were already precision when I cut the thread, why would the wax change that? It just makes it screw together smoother.

absolutely, I do it on my new shafts, 3/8-10 and people love the precision fit.

Couple of days ago I mentioned using liquid car wax on internal wooden threads that feel lose. To my surprise no one commented on it. Try it, you may be surprised.

Me either. It's scary to me because the CA dries so much harder than the wood is. I would have to be rethreaded I would think, which could induce flaking or chipping, but who knows, maybe these guys are on to something.

I challenge you to prove, in any format, where you played in a competitive format, competitively.

I bet your years of playing competition would be an interesting read,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'd try a few drops of Carnauba Car Wax on the internal wooden threads and let it sit for a day or 2, then decide if I wanted to bore the threads out. You probably won't.

Mine has a plate on the leg.

They used to come in corn flake boxes, I lost track when i switched to frosted flakes. Maybe cracker jacks?

I don't get it, what makes that better than just trying to run the balls?

sure, if you have more time try it with your eyes closed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Who?

Nothing at all wrong with you asking noob questions, and i hope I didn't infer that. Chris' book covers this topic quite well, and so rather than typing all day I just sent you to better info than I may give you.

I assume you are attempting to build a cue, and so you need a plan of what that cue will consist of, as well as final dimensions. Probably the best bet for you, based on your questions, asked and not asked, is to invest in Chris Hightower's book...
