So I didn’t have a good spot to post this, but it felt good. So why not post it in the journey through suckage. Maybe the suckage has been mental this whole time. I was talking to one of the older “big dogs” a week or two ago and we were on the whole subject of playing to your competition. And...

And measureman for sure too. Mix of good stories occasionally and some good insight with some humor mixed in

And my favorite poster that I love to hate is Newcuer! I don’t know why but Newcuer aggravates me. Well i do. First post he had was talking about playing too slow and then all his other posts have referenced things to pretty much slow him down even further. It does crack me up some, and His...

I like MattPoland posts. And Poolmanis. They both deserve honorable mentions. And tomato just because I remember when he was newer to the game and didn’t know much.

I’m talking these two shots at 1:07:30. A lot of people would’ve juiced up the 1 ball and the 6 ball. I didn’t play full on the 6 and got great results off the head rail. And didn’t use any side spin on the 1. On a 9’ might’ve needed “the juice” for the 6 ball shot. But in this case on the 7’-...

That happens to me when I practice 9 ball too much. My 8 ball game tanks. When I only practice 8 my 9 ball game doesnt take a hit though.

Yeah my rate goes up/down a point or two about once a month without playing anyone

Man just wants to play some pool and get a stick made. Shooter08 if you start making cues I’ll take 1. Send you $24 as an initial deposit for your next bottle.😂😂 This site in itself can get ya looney. I thought your posts have been reasonable.

That’s some cool info. I’m the a-hole at the hall that will play all follows if somebody relies on their draw and no spin against spinners. And vice-versa. I think it’s funny because it can actually throw people off their game. Like when I’m playing a draw shot guy and an easy draw comes up...

Do you know I kind of have to check myself on this one after reading through posts. I guess deflection really does play a big factor in kick shots. That is when you’re likely going to be hitting the ball with more speed and possibly using the most spin giving less time for the CB to swerve back...

I’ll just get on the SW list and let fate decide for me.

You can click that link that Florida Dave put up. I don’t think they added any more qualifiers.. maybe one more in New Jersey nothing in the middle of the US or the west part. Never mind Garzar was the one that put it up. Looks like He deleted link. You can just go to matchroom.com qualifiers

See I never notice much deflection with a tip of English. But also mentioned in a post last week was a regular shaft under 12mm is naturally lower deflection. I shoot with an 11.75, and an 11.5. So maybe that’s why

I added the second part after left and right because it was more geared towards left/right. you can’t play full left or right when you’re playing top or bottom too. Even though there is an extreme for those also. It’s more on the matter of when major deflection comes up in games

Left/right. Without regulating it with top and bottom.

Not really though. How does that energy transfer work PJ? Is the most left/right that can be transferred or max throw spot the same on every shot at 1-1/2 tips on a 3 tip scale. Or does it work like a sliding scale depending on cut angle? So a better player will only need as much side spin as is...

My brain hurts too! I’ve written about 100 replies here and have been deleting them. Some had info. Some were dumb. Some I forgot what I was writing about and wrote a short story on. Oh well. I’m out!

Hands down-Viking Vpro. Under 12mm with “old Viking” taper. It’s almost a straight taper for 8-10” then tapers up. flexible but not real whippy. I personally think Viking makes awesome shafts. Can’t go wrong with a VPro. Aged 5+ years according to them. And I’ve gone through 5 of them. Only 1...

I just don’t understand the economics in all this. People won’t spend $500 on a cue but will spend $400 on a CF shaft? Which is only half a cue. It’s a head scratcher for me.
