    Tim Scruggs cue

    That is the old school TS that was done with a stamp. Nice cue. I picked up one about 10 years ago for 300 dollars. Ended up selling it last year for around 1200 with two shafts.

    GETTING A CARBON FIBER SHAFT SLICK

    I have CF shafts from several small time makers. They are smooth as silk. To the OP how exactly are you taking care of them? I got the wipe part but are you doing anything else? BTW to clean mine I use simple 70% alcohol pads that are used to clean and prep an area for a needle shot.

    Your confusing two different things. The material shown in the gold crown manual is glued to the slate edge to protect the cloth over it from getting cut. The french cuffs as been called by some, is a classy way of finishing the look of the pocket. Some installers use a think piece of plastic...

    You ask for a refund, and then find someone who has proven they know what they are doing. What makes you think, they can fix the work they already did? Seems to me this might the best they can do.

    What is the standard balance point and standard butt size for a Tim Scruggs cue?

    Having Scruggs cues from the 80's 90's and 2000's I can tell you that the butt diameter changed through the years. For the most part they got thinner. It also depends on the cue, I have a titlist conversion that the specs are very different from the other customs I have. There is no one answer.

    Thinking of calling it a day......

    Do some self assessment, determine what it is you need to work on. Spend some QT on these points in your game. If you mostly play 9 ball try playing some straight pool. The change of game may do you some good. Straight pool is a tougher game, and good practice.

    The wild 8 is not much of a spot. How long have you been in this funk, and what have you tried to do to get out of it?

    Ratio of Pool Skill to Money Spent (or Given) on Cues

    I have 8 Scruggs cues. I got paid in cues when I did his first website for him. I rotate play between them, because you have to give them love. They bring back memories of happy times goofing off with him and Mike.

    All I saw of the football game this morning was a chopped up video. It is fake news, the hawks are circling.

    Yeah and if I am presenting the event, I would prefer to have that automated to avoid tech issues.

    If it was played entirely at that speed. Do you know if it was? I sure don't. I would think it would be normal speed through the shot process and then played back faster when the player is upright and making decisions. Much like some videos of some pro events on you-tube.

    He also had at least one stroke prior. How much of your game can you lose because of that?

    New book on CTE

    So an APA 5 writes a book about CTE. I always believed there is something to learn from anybody, but in this case after doing some research (Fargo, APA skill level and Video of him playing) I think I will pass.
