Agreed. Incredible acheivement. Makes you wonder how he'd stack up to today's players. It's fun to talk about, but it's a shame we'll never actually know.

That all seems like a lot of work to have done on a brand new cue. And by the time you're done, you might end up spending quite a bit of money. Have you asked the folks at OB if they'll make it for you the way you want it? It seems most cue makers can do some of that stuff easily for a little...

I don't really care who wins. I'm just excited to be there for the first time this year! Also, I'm not sure whether I'm more impressed the Earl has won it so many times, or that there were 16 years between his first and most recent win. Good lord, imagine the things he could have done with a...

I think it's interesting that these are really the only two being mentioned here. I know the OP named those two, but are we talking best active player or best ever? If we're talking best the US has ever produced, which some here have asserted, don't we have to include Mosconi and his peers...

Can't say enough good things about the shafts. I've got two OB-1s, and have no complaints about quality or performance. They're not for everyone, though. So try one out first if you can. Last I knew, the butts were made by Joss, and from the limited time I spent with them, perform exactly...

Agreed. Joe Tucker has done a ton of the leg work for us all. He explains how to decide which side to break from to give the 8 ball the best chance of moving, and he talks about when it might not make sense to use the 2nd ball break. I use the 2nd ball break when an 8 ball snap will win me...

I've owned both, and sold my predator to help pay for the second OB. It just seems to fit my game, my feel, my preferences better.

Thank you ESPN Classic. http://www.accueshot.com/ Saw this commercial today on something my DVR recorded, and it looks like they still make these puppies. For what it's worth.

Looking to upgrade my break cue from a J&J to...??? I like 'em around 18-19oz, and wrapless. No real preference on tips at this point. What's out there for $300-400 or less?

Yes. You are allowed to concede a game in the APA. I think most people would consider this a concession of the game, regardless of whether it was an innocent mistake or not. Come playoffs time, though, rulebooks and loopholes tend to make more appearances. I'm generally a fan of letting the...

All PMs replied. Shaft is sold pending payment.

Original predator 314 shaft for sale. Fits 5/16-14 joint (schon, joss, etc.). Has the original LePro tip on it and rolls straight as the day I bought it. I've never sanded or cleaned the shaft apart from a quick once over with a damp paper towel now and then, so naturally there is some...

I know there's a product out there that sits on the rail, and provides feedback as to whether you hit the center of its "target zone." perhaps someone on here has it, or can at least remember what it's called. Or, if you want the free solution... Freeze a ball to the rail. Then, shoot the...

I'm 99% sure that the rail qualifies as coming to rest off of the playing surface. It should be a foul. What did people do before cell phone cameras? That's got to be a once in a lifetime shot, and now you've got photo proof for life. Thanks for sharing!

It sounds like we do agree, and it's just a case of message board interpretation gone slightly awry. Glad to be on your side :)

Bert Kinister is the first one I heard say this-although he extended it to include the time between shots when you're walking around the table. He refers to it as stalking the balls, and as he demonstrates it, you can see him fall almost into a trance. I've since heard it a few places, but it...

I think it would be easier to avoid a double hit/illegal contact by using inside (in this case, left) english. In fact, it might be nearly impossible to avoid a bad hit using outside (right) english on this shot. Is that what you meant?

First things' first. As an instructional video, I would rate it subpar at best. If for no other reason than the vagueness of his description of how to hit the shot. "The only thing that you have to do is shoot the cue ball into the rail. And, shoot it with a moderate stroke, and that should...

ha ha.... I'm pretty sure I know what you meant by that, but out of context it's pretty funny!:wink:

A lot of good advice already on here. I have to disagree with a couple of points people have made though.... You're right to worry about spreading the balls for your opponent. And, I firmly believe that hitting the same break over and over and hoping for different results is foolish. When...
