Also look into Mike Stacey's cues. I've come across a couple that hand nice thin butts, and a few of his cues have been posted up here in the past few weeks.

Please explain.

That's got to be close to half an hour driving from downtown in light traffic.

Eric's is on Airport right around 45th street, right near the freeway (IH-35). Downtown is about 2nd street through about 11th street, extending west from the freeway. So, if you have a car, Eric's is very close, but stay away from that freeway at or near rush hour (try Red River instead)...

First of all, I agree that this is an impressive video and many of the shots are quite creative, however... It's hard to be impressed by trick shots performed on a table like that. The thing is tiny, and take a look at how the slate is cut at the pockets. I could shoot a bowling ball into...

IIRC, this isn't the first time you have posted this request. Maybe you should just bite the bullet and extend your radius a bit. IMHO, having a nice table in your home is worth driving even 16hrs or more out. That should give you some options. Maybe you have a friend who wants you to get a...

That sounds excellent! My photography professor turned me on to the superior effect of the gray background. He was a true oldskool ballbreaker, but he new what he was talking about. Ever since, I have been all about the neutral gray (i.e. 18%) background, and not just for photos. I use it...

Me too... exactly what he said!

I would definitely shoot the twelve first because I'm right handed and that is the toughest one to reach comfortably if I get a little out of line. Then ten and 15 last.

Tap Tap Tap! I think these are both great ideas for the show!

I have noticed this too. Many, many players do it. I have also noticed that many players will give the cue a few turns with their grip hand as they are setting up over the shot. I believe this is just fidgeting that people do to feel how stable their bridge is and how light their grip is: if...

Here's a much better idea for improving the game of 9-Ball, IMHO: "New Nine Ball Game! This is the one..." http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=26503 "Updated Rules: 9-Ball option" http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=27276

Try simple breathing exercises. When I was an archer, I used to do the following exercise occasionaly between ends, especially in the later stages of a long day of competition or when the pressure began to build. As soon as I would open my eyes after completing this exercise, I always felt...

Sent you a PM

I'm still a novice, so I said shotmaking. I have recently made dramatic recent improvements to my stroke and alignment (thanks in large part to this forum!), but I have lost my angle in the process. I feel confident that once I get these new changes settled in, my centerball shotmaking should...

Valuable advice! Tivo is great! But here's the rub. These guys are always giving the latest and greatest away for free to new customers and charging their loyal customers for the same thing. My dad works this to great advantage. Every time company A offers something free to new customers...

I haven't read this entire thread, but let me just make the same point I always make whenever this sort of debate about the comparative difficulty of different sports/ games. Unless perfection is acheivable, the difficulty of any game has nothing to do with how much strength or precision or...

Where can I order one of those?

Similar style, but the Brunswick shaper does not use sandpaper. Instead it uses "Sandplate" which apparently is no longer produced. Too bad, it's fantastic stuff.

Tonight I had the privilege of using a wonderful tip shaping tool made by Brunswick. It was in the style of those shapers that are a curved piece of metal or wood a few inches long with a sandpaper insert, but this one was MUCH nicer. This shaper is wider and much more solid than the cheap...
