Normally I play pretty slow. I find that, much like you, if I start playing fast I end up not getting good shape on the following shot. Can't say that I've ever tried it to see if my shot making improved, I might try it out today. As far as how I approach the table, it's all pretty much the...

Gotcha, lol. I'll keep posting until then. Here's a great looking South West I found. I believe it's Roppongi's. And here's a nice Carmeli jump/break.

Unless I'm mistaken, yes, that's what it's called. I thought this was a common term? :confused:

I might be interested.

I know I'm not the only one who has pics of reverse forearms. Here's one by Edwin Reyes, one of the best cuemakers the world ever saw. Not sure of who made this one, but I like it.

I have NEVER liked envelope cases... but that one I love.

Hey guys, I'd like to see cues that have reverse forearms. Post'em if you've got'em! :D

Cheating is one of the reasons why I'm kind of put off by the local APA league. I was watching a match one night and this guy was dumping every shot, which I thought was pretty obvious, but nobody else seemed to notice. I asked one of the other guys on his team what he was doing and he said he...

I say a black leather wrap of some sort. Either regular black leather or stacked would look nice.

I can deal with Earl's emotional "outbursts", it happens in other sports all of the time, as it should I think. A player is allowed to get frustrated with himself, it's just going to happen. I can even stomach it when he has words with other players. While I don't think it's the most...

Lately I've been playing no BIH after the break. This makes me focus on CB control a lot more, but can also lead to a lot of frustration if you get in a rut of not getting things to roll where you want them to. But I feel that this adds importance to the practice session. I don't want to just...

Have there been any reviews of these done by members?

I think it looks like a Karl Mayer.

Balabushka, not Balashka, and I haven't seen anyone here say they think it's an actual Balabushka yet. Haven't you already started a for sale thread?

"Fortune and glory, kid... fortune and glory." :D

I'd look for a nice used Schon also, they're hard to beat as far as a quality production cue is concerned. $400 is a hard price to find them at, but not entirely impossible either. If you wanted to only buy new you could look at Joss, Pechauer, Adam, or McDermott.

I'm with you on this one. Either the raffle spots are too expensive or there are too many numbers to get rid of. I see one raffle where the numbers are going for something reasonable, like $20, but then also see that there are around 50-60 slots to fill. Then there are so many slots, it's...

Not sure that anything like that is possible, Neil. Once the CB comes off of the rail, it's not going to have any means of coming off of the 1 ball in the opposite direction to hit the 5 ball. The most you could hope for is planting the 1 ball behind the 7 ball, and I think that with the angle...

You're correct. The idea is that you can't get enough power into a jump shot to harm the balls, unlike when you're breaking.

What the hell? Are you guys all in a knife gang or something? Which one, the Sharks or the Jets? :cool:
