That's odd, because it's pretty clear to me that almost all of his lateral movement of the tip is occurring after he makes contact with the CB. I was playing with this again today. It is extremely difficult to get the timing perfect, and I made ton of bad shots. Maybe one in ten shots really...

Prolly want video, eh?

Ya, I was thinking he'd be needing a bit 'o luck with it. ;)

Makes sense, since the contact time for a tennis ball against the strings of the racket is about 4-5 ms, or about 4 times as long as the CB is in contact with the tip.

Well, I already admitted that. Yes, I understand that. However, if I changed the angle of the cue that much at contact, the CB would not go in the direction I was aiming it - directly across and into the diamond on the other long rail. I got enough spin to open the angle coming off the rail...

Based on a limited amount of experimentation, I believe it can. I explained what I tried, and gave the results here a couple of years ago. My posts begin at #33 on page 3 in the thread, but the photo I took of the Rempe training ball I used is on post #43...

Yup, sort of like not liking the trailer of a movie and then losing interest. Except that a lot of great movies don't have trailers that are indicative of the true nature of the movie. So, if you want to enter into an intelligent discussion with others about the movie, it's best to argue from...

I was going to make a suggestion as to where he could put those keys, but I changed my mind. Peace, love, and God bless you, everyone.

When Shaw won his first TS, he lost his first match to the Canadian player Parent. I sat by his table the whole match and he seemed almost lackadaisical in his play. I got the sneaking suspicion that he laid off in that match so he could steamroll through the dead money and not have to face many...

A while back I wrote of my experience talking about cues with John Schmidt at SBE. He told me that the Fury shaft he was using allowed him to get maximum draw with much less effort. He bent it violently in his hands, saying, "It's just like spaghetti". Then he showed me what he meant by...

Ha, ha! Good comeback. Good luck, Rhea, I'm sure it will be an awesome experience. I wish I was able to go.

I'm 5'6" and when I was standing next to Mario Morra at TS today I figured I could eat pie off his head. Guy is a stone cold killer, and he must be in his 60s. That said, being short did nothing noticeably special for my game.

With that kind of dough I would buy a small Carribean island nation and host $100K challenge matches. I'd leave it to somebody else and their money to save pool, I just want to watch the best of the best battle for the cash. Oh... I'd probably spend a lot on booze and classy call girls as well...

He certainly has improved tremendously. I sat by his table during his match with Oscar. Oscar is playing incredibly well and won the match, but I was so impressed with Hunter's play that I was sad to see him get sent to the loser's side. The guy has about the most consistent and perfect...

There's gonna be a new entry to the already crowded chalk market. I was at TS talking to Oscar Dominguez about chalk and he told me he and a friend where coming out with a new chalk. He said it will be a hybrid chalk that will be something between a makeup chalk like Kamui and good old Masters...

I think Slo-moholic already posted one here.

Thanks for the updates, Kid. We had to leave after the 8PM match was over to get home for the dog. My wife drove while I watched on my phone (oh, the miracles of modern technology), but they ended the stream before the other matches were done. Not even a score update before they signed off...

Just curious, is that a betamax phone, VHS, or one of the early 8mm ones?

Is that where you'll be sitting tomorrow? Plan is to head over there tomorrow. We'd love to meet a few AZBers while we're there.

Hey, maybe we should all just get banned so we wouldn't have to deal with him. That seems a lot easier than getting him banned. Hell, I've been thinking of committing suicide by forum cop for awhile now, just so I can get to say what I really feel once and for all. :mad:
