Chalk on stick to make straight lines on a chalk board in school.

Good response, thanks for your thoughts. After shooting this way for over 20 years I have changed my thinking because it works for me. It takes a couple of months until it is really second nature. For me, one real benefit is shooting pressure shots. You may have noticed in your competitive...

On the object ball, it is the farthest spot from the pocket and adjust based on collision induced throw. For example, take a spot shot being cut to the left. Take your cue and stand directly behind the object ball. Place your cue directly behind the object ball, so the cue points to the...

Is depth perception really necessary? I do not think so using this aiming system. I aim with one eye by selecting a spot on the object ball that needs to be contacted to make it in the pocket. I then select a spot on the cue ball that needs to contact the spot on the object ball. Using parallel...

Alex Brick is a personal friend and very good cue maker. I ask him first about a custom cue and he suggested that John Davis is a great blank maker, so I contacted John. Many cue makers have someone else make the blank because that is a specialty. Alex was the house pro at JOB Billiards so I...

For nostalgia, I wanted a 'full splice cue'. For old time craftmanship, I called John Davis (RIP) the well known full splice blank maker. After several discussions, we decided he would make the butt. A butt made for playing and not as a piece of furniture. Our decision included an ebony...
