    My new book what do you want in it.

    Specialty shots... I would like to see a chapter devoted to break shots (all games), jump shots, etc... Safety play. Some good practice safety shots that help develop speed control would be nice. I like checklists. When I am playing good, I like to document every detail about my shot routine...

    Playing with a hat on, does it help?

    I am bald and always wear a cap. Not because of looks, but because I live in Texas and it keeps me from getting head burn. Also keeps the head warm in winter. I have always thought it was helpful in pool because it blocks the glare from the table light. I feel odd playing without one and I even...

    Aardvarks tend to pace back and forth (nonstop) when contained. And their hair looks to be course enough to securly tie a monkey tooth to a dog collar. Hey... lookout!!! :eek:

    Tell Me Something You Got Wrong

    10 pound versus 10 once is not a fair comparison because your exaggeration is not applied equally. Let’s take an average 19oz cue and remove 09oz of weight... now its a 10oz cue. Now let’s add 09oz of weight... you will have a 28oz cue. Which had you rather play with to stop on a head spot, a...

    Leather wrap too slick.......

    This is a good question with some good answers. I have the same issue when I clean and condition a leather wrap and it gets too slick. I want to clean it and them make it tacky again. (I really prefer wrapless.) The OP should post this to the Ask The Cuemakers sections for additional input.

    Tell Me Something You Got Wrong

    I used to think that you would have better speed control with a lighter cue.

    8 ball solid racking spot

    Good question... where do the pros break from on an eight ball rack? I assume it is from the long rail side if eight on the break wins and from somewhere in the middle if eight on the break does not count?

    Is G-10 tip legal on a jump cue?

    It makes no sense to me that a G-10 tip would be legal on a jumper but not on a breaker. Looks like you would do more damage to the cue ball shooting down on it when jumping. But I guess you break more often. Go figure.

    Is G-10 tip legal on a jump cue?

    I have a shaft with a G-10 one piece ferrule/tip and it jumps extremely well. But I am confused as to whether it is legal in the major pool leagues when used as a jump cue only. Not as a breaker. FYI... I play on a in house league where jump cues are not allowed. Thus the lack of knowledge. I...

    Another Jim Pierce Beauty

    I have two Pierce cues and love them. I considered trading this one since I prefer wrapless, but I just cant do it. So I have decided to keep it. It plays as good as it looks!

    Speed Control and Cue Weight

    I have always played with a lighter cue.... around 18oz. I grew up hearing speed control is easier with a lighter cue and I found that heavier cues felt too butt heavy. Probably because I was a kid. Recently, I picked up a 20oz cue with a 18.5" balance point that feels great to me when I...
