Ron said he would take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion. I am looking at going with his conical taper witha 12mm tip. Not sure what tip to go with but I'll see what he suggests. Sending it off today.

Al. I'm sure you are aware, but the link to your website in your signature doesn't appear to work. I got a generic menu page like the domain is parked. Just an FYI.

Will Nick be focusing on any particular games (ie straight, 8ball, 9ball etc)? Thanks

Someone buy that kid a cue!! If I was better at photoshop, I redo that pic in a heart beat.

Site looks very good Bill. Thanks. Still plowing through the book.

I wouldn't have thought either of them would have wanted to work on someones elses cue. It may be worth a try. Thanks

Thanks a bunch. That's a great lead.

Why Robin does not make Position Play available in something less than a presentation collector grade format is beyond me. He could probably use the bucks and we players could definitely use the information. The information is just as valuable paper bound as it is leather bound, or unbound (ie...

I have a Viguera Cue that I like but it only has a pool taper shaft. The cue has a wood joint screw. I would like to get a carom shaft make for it. There is a Viguera carom shaft available but the wrinkle is that the cue I have has the screw in the butt, not the shaft so this carom shaft...

I am hopefully having a carom shaft made for my Viguerra butt and I am trying to decide on the tip diameter to go with. One suggestion I got was 11.5 mm. Is that too narrow for a rank beginner at 3C? My Mariposa has a12mm. I am not sure if it is the tip diameter on that one that bothers me...

LOL! I think that constitutes progress in 3C. :grin:

Go into a room that has more than one table when other 3C players are playing. Setup the same shot over and over and miss it everytime. The other guys will not be able to stand it for long and will come over and give you tons of tips. I could be a gorgeous blond and not get as much...

As a rank beginner myself, I have a saying when I approach the table. "I know two shots.. and this ain't one of them.." Luck plays far too big a factor in my game and I hate it. I started playing pool seriously 6 years ago so that it would be more than a "Game of Chance". I feel like I am...

@3C4Ever, Again as a rank beginner myself one thing I have gleaned that goes to your original question "is hitting the correct amount of thickness on the object ball very important? " There are three elements that you as a player can control. The speed of your stroke The kind and amount, if...

Hey Dennis, Don't sugar coat it or anything :grin: I have tried what you suggest but maybe the OP has not. He is probably much more talented than I am. Give your cat my best. :D

I feel your pain. I have been working hard at pool for 6 years and I still don't have the ability to fine tune my cuts and it is even worse with 3C. Trying to visualize your contact point on a big solid red color ball is virtually impossible for me. I hope you do better. As to...

Andrew Thanks for the suggestions. As a rank beginner, one recommendation that seems to be proving helpful to be is to learn to get to the corners. Ie using two balls, cue and object ball. Put the object ball in one corner and put the cue ball in the adjacent corner along the same short...

Thanks Rob. What are the odds of you having a Kilby. Didn't know you were into carom at all. Where did you find a carom shaft for the Cog? Did Joe make it?

Dat's a lot a shots.

Says the guy with a userid of Dr9Ball :D
