It sounds you like many others are not yet aware that our very own Mike Howerton of AzBilliards is now the owner of Accu-Stats. Pat sold it to him in 2022. I don't know if trying to upscale the videos to a higher resolution before uploading would slow down the process much or not (or how much...

Seems like this would take away some, and in some cases most, of the advantage that the better player has, effectively acting as a handicap of sorts. Hard for me to ever get behind that for any reason.

If I read this right and you are around 550, and beat a player rated around 500 by a score of 5-0, and your rating went down, it definitely was not because of that match. That match raised your rating slightly because you beat the score expectation. Your rating can change as Fargo becomes more...

Agreed. While I don't think it would be a good idea either, a better argument could actually be made for the exact opposite, where the player would never be allowed to call a timeout themselves and where it could only be called by a teammate (and the odds say at least one or more of the...

First, the only way to know for sure if you will like the way a cue or a shaft will play is to play with it, and even then you often won't truly know how well it meets your preferences until you play with it for a few days/some number of hours. The only real arguable exception to this is if a...

That absolutely can and does happen a good bit. Sometimes though the shot is a lot easier than the new player believes, and they don't know that yet because they rarely shoot that shot and instead always avoid it and just choose another option. If they would actually shoot it more often they...

Another idea is to just cover it in vinyl furniture wrap in the color that best matches your table (shop around for the best match, there are a billion colors out there, and you can even have a custom color done if desired). Applying the wrap is pretty easy to do (the video below quickly shows...

Try one of these new types of shorter and fatter jump cues that Fedor is autographing in the very short video below, pretty sure you'd like this style. 😁 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1245385673415288

You do realize you just asked us if your personal preference is ok to have in your own home, right? It's equivalent to asking us if it is ok for you to have a white refrigerator or brown couch. Of course it is ok to have whatever color you prefer on your own things in your own home, including...

In my tiredness/haste without properly thinking it out I correlated it to the amount of CIT rather than to the fairly obvious relative surface speeds between the balls. Thanks for the correction, I edited my post.

Didn't sound Trumpy to me. It just didn't make sense. Making what in America? What the heck are they talking about? The "Making It in America One Pocket tour" also doesn't sound that great or flow off the tongue very easily either. Doesn't seem to be a great name choice at all but hopefully...

Yes, that is exactly what you are doing, and all good players utilize this effect at least some of the time when positional needs allow for it and circumstances make it the right choice. The right amount of outside english on the cue ball (not too much or too little) will have a "gearing"...

You can't even write at a third grade level, and I'm the one that is not very bright? Well at least you have being funny going for you. Your premise isn't particularly bright either. It's hard to make offers on imaginary cues whose exact issues and condition you don't know. I also doubt we...

Check your PM's.

Seems pretty straight forward to me as well. Original poster makes a post looking for someone who is willing to sell him this specific cue. Second guy says OP should post what he is willing to pay, otherwise he will just get people looking to sell. Which is exactly what OP wanted, somebody...

Am I reading this wrong or...? People looking to sell is exactly what he is looking for, so this statement doesn't seem to make sense. That aside, if there is a good reason for him to be posting the price he is willing to pay on a cue whose condition he hasn't seen yet, and nobody has given...

You said you tapped the shaft and butt and don't hear any rattle but if you don't do it a certain way you might not hear it that way. Hold the shaft near the joint collar end and then with the bottom of your fist hit the shaft near the middle several times fairly firmly trying to get maximum...

I can't speak to this site specifically, but there are TONS of websites like that all over the web that are scams. They still manage to scam plenty of people because the websites are pretty well done, and because the prices are so low that people say to themselves "well I know it very well...

You can see some of them right on their website at the link below. I can't remember if they make the blanks for these as well or not. https://schmelkecue.com/cues/schmelke-cc-series-custom-cues.html

Jude Rosenstock from here on the AzBilliards forums is one of the admins of that group. Perhaps he would be able to tell you if you sent him a direct message, or correct it if it was somehow an error.
