Yeah ok, well unlike poolology, CTE has a multitude of known, measured positions for object and cue ball to create sighting and cueing exercises posted both in a very nice book as well as a multitude of free videos, meant to be performed repeatedly until they become instantly recognizable, and...

Well anything beyond the objectivity thing in my view has just been a personal vendetta because some people don't like some other people so they set out to demean them. Big of you to admit that, though I'm sure that other fellow whom I no longer acknowledge would do so. Anything beyond that is...

No, it was about objectivity, and we in the CTE world use your objective fractions just like other people do. Why does it not count for our side of the argument?

This is funny as hell, Brians, Poolology uses the exact same portions, fractions, or edges, of the balls to aim with as CTE does, and other that the use of the side of my cue I would point out that they are the only things I use to aim with after a quick initial glance at the ball positions on...

Good point

It don't hurt a thing to do that, just pointing out that a gun drill, just like a twist drill, is designed to be self centering. That said, if you have a counterbore on the exit or thru end of the stock a gun drill will still use it's own center which is established and maintained by the carbide...

you do not need a start hole to gun drill

So you paid the money to get mom's medicine, then the cue finally shows up. Hmm, maybe mom is the cuemaker there?

4 jaw independent chuck is the most versatile and easiest to indicate parts true.

Is 6 feet long enough to be unlevel?

rack 15 and cue ball in kitchen

So you are talking about rigging it to just remove a small amount off the pro taper section, supposedly, and assuming it even is a pro taper. You are just hacking the shaft geometry. Resizing should not change the way the hit feels. That is a rig set up I would never do. If you change the pro...

Word!

Don't matter how you hold it, most used shafts don't run true enough to turn them just .01" over all.

There isn't a lot of shafts that will run true enough to turn them from 13mm to 12.75mm, and even if they did that allows nothing for finishing the shaft to playing condition. I doubt any experienced cue repair shop would even try. It's an easy enough modification, but nobody is turning it.

Stay away from the machinist lathe, you'll ruin your cue and tear your arm off,,,,,,,,

I do believe I said "IF it's gassing?"

If it's gassing, which I think it is, then the sealing job was inferior before finishing.

right, so did you play snooker or not?

If you have a local repair guy just have them fixed with better material, maybe juma. Beginners and intermediate players use those mostly and when experienced players grab them it's for breaking most likely. You have cheap ferrules, no pad, and funny looking tips. They don't have a chance. If...
