    'Pendulum' Stroke 'Sweet Spot' ?

    Exactly! but of course on a much smaller scale except for a fast powerful break. One great example of this in pool is Evgeny Stalev's break. He's not a biceps guys by any means but he sure can make that rack explode. Good shooting to you, Kevin

    'Pendulum' Stroke 'Sweet Spot' ?

    You are correct in that the triceps muscle is used to move the cue backwards but it also plays a vital roll in stabilizing your upper arm when the biceps is active in the forward motion of a pool stroke. The stability is both lateral(side to side) and also vertical in coordination with the...

    testing photos, full splice snakewood and ebony blank

    This cue is just AWESOME! Wow..now that's some figure in a forearm and the veneers are great! Real sharp work there. What kind of joint is going on it? Didn't know you could use snake wood as a forearm in a full splice cue. Is it cored and if so with what? Please post this one up in the...

    I feel like a thread to uplift is needed today!

    Rep for you! Positive threads on pool are sorely needed all the time. It's not just the seedy stories that keep people interested but the happy ones and triumphs that will keep people interested. I love pool today, because my now 4 year old son likes to watch matches with me. Can't beat...

    Birds Eye with Amboynia points

    Really sweet cue! Haven't ever seen anyone pair Amboyna burl with mother of pearl inlaid peacocks and I really like it. Those veneer colors and their use in the rings are a winner for this cue too. I also like how the cue maker made the reverse points. They look good and proportional to the...

    All are very nice but the tulipwood one is just awesome! Great veneers to be next to that wood and the green wrap against it is also very cool. Good shooting to you! Kevin

    Martinez Cues?

    I love Ernie's cues and if it hits like one of them then your friend definitely has something special. I found this on AZ. Link to a cue made by him. Maybe the OP OHplayer can get you more info on him and his cues. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=292562 Good shooting to you...

    Statement from LP Custom Cues

    Sorry to hear that. However, I am very happy to hear he's still with us and getting better. If you're reading this thread Lee, remember IMO your health absolutely comes before cue building. For any one wondering about Lee working on or completing their cues, there shouldn't be any doubt...

    Beautiful Hoppe! I love the look of this cue. Those colors are awesome. I really like how simple and balanced you kept the whole cue's design. The black anodized pin and black linen wrap are just whip cream on that cake! Please let us all know how it hits when you have it. Thanks for...

    Custom Prather Full-Spliced Cue In Progress

    Sorry to hear about your first build. It really was looking like a great player. That really blows when that happens. Not that the first build was any slouch but it looks like Jeff dug even deeper into their great stash of wood for this beautifully grained piece. Hope all goes well on this one...

    *** Guess the Correct Shot and Win... ***

    Yellow to the extreme right side of the red with a tip or so of bottom right allowing the yellow to first come off the first long rail then to the opposite long rail where it catches the reverse spin to a total of 5 rails to contact the white between the closest long rail to it and the short...

    Accu-Stats is too expensive

    3rd that....They do a great job and IMO the quality is completely worth the price. Think about it this way...you get to see a lot of really great matches for a bit less then the price of being in a hotel room near the tournament for only one day. Good shooting to you, Kevin
