I agree most with Dr. Dave and the others that suggest that the spin on the ob is reversed when it hits the cushion. It's even obviously proven in the videos. But then there are shots like this, where spin is not reversed. This is a shot on the Kamuii website where the guy hits it hard with...

This shot came up in a game of 9-ball the other night, and as I was thinking there would be no way to shorten it up enough for a one rail bank, I reminded myself of when I was a translator for Mike Sigel when he did a couple of clinics in Japan and he showed me this shot. I figured I'd try it...

For me, the single most attractive aspect of pool is how close amateurs and pros can come together in this game. By that I mean it's not at all uncommon for a guy like me to enter a large tournament and possibly end up in a match with a well known pro. AND, if the stars are all lined up...

I think all these games played on a 9 footer will most likely result in the better player coming out ahead with possibly one exception and that would be 1p. I don't know much about the game myself, but have seen several really good 1p players that don't do really well in the other games. All...

Spent about an hour yesterday practicing the 10-ball break. Tried different spots on the table, hitting square, hitting off center, English, no English, and different speeds. Still can't make a ball with any consistency. Did a search of the forum, but the search feature here sucks so I ended...

I think the one word to best describe Josey cues would have to be CONSISTENCY from one Josey to another. What you seek in hit and playability in a cue is your own personal taste. I would say that Joseys hit a little stiffer and crispy with pretty low to reasonable deflection, which is what I...

I agree with this take on the whole thing simply because this movie was targeted to a very general population audience that obviously consists of people that don't play pool. (you can see that by the quality of the pool playing in the movie) Your non-pool-playing viewer isn't going to...

After yesterdays session, I've decided I'm not hittin' em well enough to justify the drive. A week ago I'm hittin' em really well, and then yesterday can't seem to find my way out of anything! Gonna spend today trying to fix whatever broke! dave

I'll be there! (for at least the first round):thumbup: dave

Not an expert, but I believe that slate either dries quickly or absorbs moisture. If ya ever get a chance to see a piece of exposed slate, take a damp cloth and wipe at it and notice how quickly it dries. Metal would not only keep moisture in the cloth, but I would assume that rust would be an...

I've never liked turquois in a cue, but for some odd reason, was impressed with what I consider 'tasteful' use of it in my Josey. Still have yet to see another cue with turquois that I like. I don't like ivory points either. The 'Tuxedo' cue to me is something that I've never cared for. Love...

Being a member of the ACA isn't always a good thing.............from what I've heard. Good luck, and keep the love for what you're doing. That alone will result in a superior product that sombody will buy. dave

You know how there are some women out there that never wear makeup, and don't need to because they are simply beautiful as they are? Yyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh:)

I love mine! But maybe for reasons that would be different than others. I for one, wasn't out to eliminate deflection or reduce it as much as something like the Z shaft does. And the Classic ended up exactly what I was looking for. Manageable and consistent deflection, with a stiffer...

I know of three players on the Japan tour that played with the BK1 as their main player as recently as 2007. Don't know if that's what they're doing now, but at the time, the no. 1 ranked amateur was using one and took it with him when he turned pro. After that, Keiske Hanawa, a first year pro...

I may be wrong, but I've always gotten the idea that when SVB comes to town, it's pretty much unofficial, and usually the only ones that know about it are the guys that he keeps in touch with on a personal basis. Again, I may be wrong, but if SVB comes to town on a personal trip, putting the...

We were just talking about the subject the other night. SOMEBODY needs to do some 8-ball on the big tables. Not only would you get the 'players' but you'd get so many more recreational types and lot's of bangers. Seems to me that it would do really well for both sides. dave

I thought it was one of the funniest posts I've read on here in a long time. However, remember that, as you already know American sarcasm often times doesn't translate well in foreign languages so you could run the risk of somebody over there taking your story literally. How did you like Bagus...

Glad you liked the cue. Now I know who you are. To think we've known eachother via AZ for quite some time now, and have even exchanged conversation in the pool room more than once. It was only with this post that I was able to put two and two together. See you around. dave
