Calcutta! A problem now days could be gambling laws in different states. Some consider it gambling instead of a tournament payout. Those states will sometimes call it a second chance in stead of the C word. In Okla. I see it sometimes called a second chance but not always. Don't forget anytime...

Wood You missed shots with your ld correct? You will miss shots with your new shaft. You will miss shots all your life. You are a poolplayer. Missing is part of the game. You have a nice cue, go with it. Don't think about it. Being in dead stroke, which we all experience now and then, is more...

Okla. You may know or not, Herman got a hearing aid last Fri. So just walk up and start moving your mouth! Pool players are inherently cruel. Did you pick up any pearls of wisdom from Herman? He is there every day, he should get on the payroll and be the House Geezer!

Walked into Jamaica Joes for league and Walter is playing 1 hole with Jacob giving 9-8 playing four ahead. Wins first set and Jacob on the hill when I left for the second set. Walter beat Mark Demick recently, didn't know he played one hole so good. Then several people say he beat Joey Gray at...

Breaking bad! The most important part of breaking is to make a ball and get going. Are you a run out player? If you are near pro level then yes your break is critical. For the rest of the world, we want to pocket a ball on the break and hold the table/ maybe even run out. Breaking hard and...

sneaky Best value, bang for your buck would be a entry level/possibly sneaky/ merry widow made by a good cue maker. Who? Do your homework. Do it here on AZ. Lots of choices. What you get with a sneaky from a good cuemaker is the same quality and playability of their $3000 cue. There is no...

Ditto. Great free stream. Always pulling for the underdog anyway. Anybody can beat anybody. Mike took it well, and actually got off to great start (2-0) in second set. That's a big feather in Joeys hat! Great commentary also. Spent my whole evening watching lots of great matches.

Insert I also went with one shaft with the insert. That's the shaft I play with. Plays good, not a ld guy myself and Bob doesn't speak of it as a ld as I remember, it's just something he does. Just science, like kryptonite and solar flares and black holes type stuff.

Table Having your own table is great. Lots of great drills will keep you interested. I usually play 5 or 6 times a day. Sometimes ten min, sometimes thirty. Great not having to get dressed, drive to the pool hall and then you really need to play a few hours because you probably won't go every...

10.5 Going to play at the half of the Thunder vs Cavs game. Think I will rename the game to Turbo Fargo!! I like games you can play on your table with no opponent. Watched Chip Compton play last night at Chester's. One hole giving 12 to 5. Obviously the guy played like me! LOL. He was warming...

Dz cues Oh yeah! Bob will get with you. What you showed is actually not that much. I had drawings of each inlay and every piece of the build. Probably close to once a week or so. Keeps you excited. I stopped counting e mails at about sixty! I doubt any other cue maker will out communicate Bob...

Compact? Is that a compact? Doesn't matter, but I did buy a compact that was advertised $329 in our Okla. City paper. New from Southwest Shooters. I drove quickly down there for mine and tried to buy several but he said at that price only one per customer. $357 with tax. My grips were black...

Ferrule I would equate this with buying a new pickup truck and not wanting to scratch the shiny new bed. Take a cinder block and throw it into the bed. Now it's scratched. It's a truck, use it! A pool cue is a tool. Also agree with another poster about your mental game. You cannot be thinking...

The break

JPs Ditto for Lonnie. Nice price. Go with the oil finish. Regular finish is too shiny for me. Had a miss communication problem with one set and he made it right. Good guy.

Turning corners. I began turning those corners in 1965! Be advised there are many corners to turn, not just a few. Reminds me of the kid I was steamrolling one time and he says, your way better than me right now, but I'm going to MASTER this game someday! I said no you are not! No one ever...

Hand span Games is to me the most generous spot to give. Giving the hand span once a game or several in a set is an interesting spot and can be added to other types of spots. Hand span means they can move cb any direction the size of their hand. After you hook them or they hook themselves or...

Points Thanks. Wasn't talking about forearm points but inlays only. Like on a box cue in the butt. Understand the V cut for forearm points but are some forearm points actually inlays? Are all inlays flat bottomed? Appreciate the input.

Arthritis One of my customs, not the Tucker in my avatar, was made partially with cnc. The maker just could not deal with the arthritis in his hands anymore. I believe he cuts the pockets and...
