    What is the purpose of having a Pool Instructor?

    It makes some people feel good. There are people who just like taking lessons.

    going pro?

    There are none but there should be, like a high 14.1 run of 200 minimum. That should keep out the riff-raff. There should be some kind of line of demarcation.

    Tung oiled shaft?

    There's tons of ways to make the cue shaft smooth, and it's been talked about forever. Oil from the hands as you say, burnishing is effective(with different materials), 3m lapping film, simple buffing with a cloth, 2000+ grit sanding cloth. The shaft can look like glass. My friend once tried...

    Tung oiled shaft?

    Having zero experience with playing a guitar, seems to me all you're doing when you play a guitar is your hand slides on the neck and there's lots of air. When you shoot pool you're basically holding the shaft fully and sliding it through your fingers. It's a totally different action. Might be...

    Non-Profit Cue Sports Clubs: Feasible or not?

    Obviously you'll find you need a minimum x number of members to make the monthlies, AND that number will have to be constant. It's worth a try but you have to make sure you have an exit strategy and don't get left with the bills. It's really high risk on it's own, and then you have upkeep. I...

    Full Splice dots.

    Maybe you wouldn't want to see those bottom veneers, and maybe THAT'S why those cuebuilders cover them up. If you're good you show off how good you are, if you're bad you hide it.

    South west best alternative cue

    Omegas and Benders are expensive "alternatives", Ed Young is impossible. But the hit of a cue is in the whole cue not just the shaft. The old SW Kersenbrocks had a coke-bottle taper in the butt.

    Curing Elbow Drop

    Pros drop their elbow. However to avoid debate, have you isolated your elbow drop as the main source of your problem and not something else? Maybe you have a hook or maybe you're not addressing the cueball where you think you are.

    Best pool movies

    All pool movies take a backseat to Sharks. Barretta takes acting to a different level, and the ensemble cast has me shaking uncontrollably.

    South west best alternative cue

    Years ago I tried a Dominick. Only for a dozen strokes or so. The hit on THAT PARTICULAR CUE was very crisp, snappy, and somewhat dry which is how I would describe an SW hit. But so, let me understand this, you're asking about an SW style hit, but you like the Diveney anyway? So what's the point?

    FS Vintage Tad Kohara

    Nice cue and a great price. Just as a side. Back then (I don't know about today) a brand new Tad had THE most unique smells this nose ever sniffed. Intoxicating actually.

    Ivory ferrule better than synthetic..?

    No. I have three, ivory, old micarta, and cerrulite. They all serve a different purpose.

    Why do I play horrible against bad players

    Two things. To be able to play at a consistently high level no matter who you're playing is a rare thing. Even for pros. That's why they are constantly looking for ways to motivate themselves. Michael Jordan always looked for "bulletin board" material. Second thing applicable to all. You are...

    TAD or GINA, who designed that flower first?

    "Invented" is a poor choice of word in this case. There was someone who was the original creator the clover design.

    Joss West rubber bumper

    Ask Stroud. He may not come though building a cue but giving you a bumper should be easy enough. it's not like he has to make one.
