    Wtb (1) Ice Breaker Jump/break Tip

    Not to take sides, but there is no reason to get upset, BENFICA. With the fact that nobody who read this thread could know that your sale with the OP was pending, this is an open marketplace, and I think the OP has the right to know about any better deals. That being said, good luck with the...

    Small ding in my playing shaft.

    I'll tell you, I've only removed a ding in my shaft once, but I used this method with very good results! This method uses steam. Take a small pot of water and cover it with a doubled-over sheet of aluminum foil. Poke a pin hole through the top of the foil and boil the water. This should give...

    US Open May Provide Strongest Final Four Ever!

    You know, I was just talking about him last night. It'd be killer to see him go all the way, even if he only comes runner up to one of the other world-beaters!

    Do you play in a League?

    I've been a part of APA, but I'm not currently playing with them. My experience was so short, I have no established handicap as of yet. I was also in an 8-ball league in college of my design. Our handicapping system was simple but did its job rather well, I think. We based it all on...

    Joey Gold/Bobby Hunter

    And Bobby Hunter's still in the Chicago area. He brought a few of his cues by Red Shoes a week or two ago. He's doing some nice work, one cue in particular had interesting ivory and silver inlays.

    Ike Runnles cue F/S

    Seconded. It's a great looking cue in person, and I'm sure it plays as well as any Hills cue.

    new shaft coating for maple shafts

    I'm not sure if this was covered, but will the existing diameter and taper of the shaft be preserved if you're applying to a used shaft, after all the hard sanding?

    Did you get this cue from Bama? I remember the pics he put up looked sick!

    ### Your Favorite Drill ###

    Place the cueball on the spot, throw a ball out past the side pocket, and shoot it into the closest corner with draw so your tip is on the cloth when you're done stroking. Check the straightness of your stroke with the spot.

    Archer and Strickland coming to the Mid West,

    Don't forget to try real Chicago-style pizza while you're here. There's a lot of places out there, any fellow Chicagoans have a personal favorite?

    Banking with The Beard, Volume2

    Right on the nose. I haven't had a chance to read through Gospool, and I haven't finished Banking with the Beard, but the information that I was able to pull from the first few instructions more than helped me get banking concepts better.

    What bridge you use ?

    It looks like this. This is how I was taught to make my closed bridge. Just hold a pencil or a cigarette where your cue would be like this for 5 minutes, you'll get the hang of it.

    Time in the Zone

    The longest time I've spent in the ZONE is about one week. Previous to my getting into this much stroke, I had taken a few day's rest from pool. It was the last thing on my mind for a couple so I could focus on other life-related stuff. When I wanted to get back to the table, I really wanted...

    If you're like me and have trouble hitting center ball on the break- try this:

    Honestly, I think a lot of problems with the break can be solved if you make a full effort to only move your stroking arm at first, trying to get full power out of that. Once you've got the motion for that, try putting more power into it bit by bit. Gotta warm it up.
