    Whats the best play here?

    Wow.. A lot of impatient players here. From the layout, there isn't a lock on making the 1 and then breaking out the 8. (possible, but not a lock, as described in the OP's story) The best option is to play another safe. One that will put the 1 near either corner pocket at the same end as...

    Question, When lining up a shot...

    To answer the OP's question, you are looking at the aim point first (Ghost ball, spot on the ball, spot on the table, however you aim...) when you get into your original position. Not the cue ball. Eyes, stick, body.

    The New OB Classic shaft - Test Drive - It's HOT STUFF!

    I had put up my review as well, and I echo just about everything you said here. I have a P2 with the original 314, and will be getting a classic for that cue. Right now, the test shaft they sent me is on my Phillippe. I had an OB-1 on it, and it played much like my P2, but didn't have as solid...

    Why?

    You know.. of all the help pages I've read, and FAQ's I've gone over.. (and I'm talking all sites, not just AZB) very rarely has my specific inquiry been one of the things listed. No matter how simple/obvious I may have thought it was. Help pages (and there are help pages here...) will only...

    Live Stream - THE NEXT GENERATION

    There's a crap load more to infrastructure than the cabling. The connections are part of the infrastructure. Which is why I stated that the current infrastructure isn't able to handle that kind of bandwidth at this time.

    Live Stream - THE NEXT GENERATION

    Even if the router can handle the bandwidth, does not mean the current infrastructure will be able to handle it. Still have a long way to go before that type of data transfer will hit Joe consumer.

    CLOSE HITS: Do you say "Watch this, it's going to be close"?

    It seems it's been stated by a few people already. You don't tell if it's a good hit by trying to see what hits what first.. You tell by how the balls go after. That simple.

    The new "OB Classic". (A bit on the long side)

    Like I stated in my OP, my Phillippi normally has the OB-1 shaft. Now with the OB Classic, I like it even more. My results are very similar, but the feel is the kicker. I get more feed back from the cue, or at least I feel like I do. To me, that's the only difference I noticed from the...

    The new "OB Classic". (A bit on the long side)

    Jeff- My original P2 came with a 314. The original 314. What I can say about the difference between the OB Classic and the original 314, is that the OB Classic seems to have less deflection than the 314. On my "favorite LD shot", where I shoot a stop shot with straight side spin, the OB...

    The new "OB Classic". (A bit on the long side)

    Last year, when I was at the BCAPL nationals, I was over at the OB Cues booth, talking with Royce, and he handed me a cue and asked me to hit a few balls and tell me what I thought. (My regular player is a Predator P2, from the very first batch Predator made.) So I hit about a rack. Spun the...

    Using an OB1 on a Predator P2 butt

    I know of several people who use the OB shaft on their P2 butts. None of them have any issues and really like it. Royce is sending me their new 'OB Classic' to try, and I'm thinking I may end up getting one made for my P2 if it's as good as I think it's going to be. My wife, who already has...

    Does this happen to your game?

    Well said Lou. Another things to add to the OP. This is just a game. Have fun with it. Play. Enjoy everything about it. Getting nervous means you're alive. Like Lou said.. maybe in the beginning you don't do so well.. but learn from those experiences. Enjoy them. And above all else...

    Are straight-in shots (drills) important to be practiced??

    Other things that straight in drills are good for. Checking your consistency. If you're missing straight in shots, are you consistently missing on the same side? By the same or similar amount? (These may be an alignment issue, or even an aiming issue.) Or.. are you all over the place? Miss...
