Having stood right next to Earl while holding Earl's cue and talking about tips, I can assure you he had an Elk Master on there. This would have been about 4-5 years ago. I hit some balls with his cue. Very low deflection! And about 17.5 oz. KMRUNOUT

No offense, but I’d really bet on PJ in an IQ competition. Most times I hear the term “common sense”, it typically is an attempt to disparage information that the person doesn’t understand. You can *always* draw a straight line between your two hands. The important question is how that line...

Just to be clear... So there is a “shot line”. This is the line from the resting spot of the cueball to the location it will be at impact. With a centerball hit, this will be a straight line. Now are you claiming that people can, say for right English, move their whole cue over say a tip...

A very good player who has beaten many top pros like Jayson Shaw and Mika Immonen, etc. took some time to show me a method where you aim dead center cue ball and pivot during the stroke. After trying it some, it is shockingly accurate. This guy was one of the most methodical and technically...

There are some pretty poor arguments being made in this thread. Also, I’m really surprised people are not taking skill level into account. The difference between a 650 Fargo player and a 700 player are *very* small. A tiny tiny benefit for a 650 level player means far more than that same tiny...

Is this the “Anton” Raga I used to hear about? Child prodigy...may have given Efren the 8 ball at one point? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Exactly. Only people do. Or they are mistaken, assuming you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

This is simply false. Some hilarious questions: 1). What device are you using to measure tip contact time? 2) how were you able to subvert the human nervous system by being able to detect things in the 0.5-3 ms timing? Just curious. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

As I understand it, “rewarding the winner” and “punishing the loser” are essentially two sides of the same coin. Given the ratings of the two players, there is an expected outcome. If one player exceeds that expectation, then the other player must have come up short of the expectation, and...

You can make any masse shot with a LD shaft...it simply requires a different initial aiming point. The tipping point where LD becomes a hindrance is when you prioritize masse shots over pocketing balls accurately with english. Or when you just don't like LD shafts, because you are used to...

"gimmick", "hype"...these are buzzwords typically used by people who do not understand a particular technology or principle, so they assume in their ignorance that there is "really" nothing to it. If you practice correctly and can't tell the difference between an LD shaft and a conventional...

Although eliminating squirt is not an option, reducing it is. Can you offer an example of a shot you can do with a traditional shaft that you can't do with a LD shaft? KMRUNOUT

Why did you assume quality was the driving force behind the OP's question? Perhaps he has other reasons for wanting his money to go more directly into the American economy. Who knows? KMRUNOUT

Keep score properly. Mark every safe. Mark the table size you play on. Honestly, the system works fine. People are really really dumb though. They don’t know how to do what they are supposed to do. Don’t bother to learn. If scores are kept properly, the “small region vs big city” argument...

I’m pretty sure Jennifer Baretta plays primarily on 9’ tables. I’m also pretty sure she trains at pool significantly. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Typical isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is 70%. You can easily get 91% everywhere, like CVS. The water content is low enough that you shouldn’t have any issues using it on wood. It evaporates very quickly. I’d avoid using 70% however. Denatured alcohol will be just a tick “drier” than...

Just arrived in Vegas today. Probably here until the 13th. Definitely plan on getting over to Griff’s KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Break pads alter the break enough to seem totally absurd to me. The only nearly functional break pad I’ve used is the one made by Outsville, which is made of the same material as the Accu-Rack. I’ve never subscribed to the idea of “protecting” your table so that it will play poorly 100% of the...
