I'm in a bit of a rut and am missing the ball left on a straight in shot. I've been studying my stroke and have noticed one thing.... My follow-through tends to be a bit left of the target line instead of straight down the target line. In slow motion, I can take it back straight back and...

Anyone?....

If anyone has a Predator 8 point Sneaky Pete no wrap with a steel joint, let me know. I'm looking to buy one in good condition. Thanks.

thanks for the info. I like that Spencer Marston...nice to have a drawer. I've narrowed it down to that one and an HJ Scott chair you can get for about $280. The HJ Scott has a padded back and seat so I'm thinking it might be a bit more comfortable, but I'm not really sure. If anyone has the...

Hello. I'm in the market for a economically priced tall spectator chair with a drink holder, cushioned seat and back, and a notch for a cue. I've looked online and it seems like they range from $200 to $800. I'm interested in something much closer to the $200 range. Any suggestions on brands or...

I live in Massachusetts just outside of Boston area. Your suggestion is a good one. I don't have the budget for a really expensive cue but maybe a custom cue maker could make me a simple design that is high quality but without any fancy designs within my budget. Are there any good cuemakers in...

I find these conversations pretty interesting. I'm wondering if the answer truly is "it doesn't matter". I could look at what the pros play with but that really doesn't make any difference because they are paid to play with certain equipment. I played golf for a long time and I know the type...

I don't have good access to a decent store to try cues so I'm probably going to buy my next cue online. I've heard cues can be hard hitting or soft and whippy or stiff. Other than the standard advice of trying a bunch and seeing what you prefer, can someone give me some insight about why they...

Hello. Can anyone give me a good recommendation for who I could take a lesson from in the Boston area? Thanks a lot.

I've noticed that if I have both the cue and ob close to a rail and am hitting a shot into the corner pocket...if I hit hard the ball rattles out more than I'd like. I was thinking that some English could help. If I have ob and cb both on the right rail...my theory is that if I hit some left...

I've been practicing a lot and trying a bunch of stuff and found what works. Again...calculating the amount of deflection, throw, etc comes with experience but you can only learn from your experience if you know what you did (what you were aiming at.) I found that without using English, I would...

These answers are great. I have another very simple question. Do you aim with the cue in the center of the cue ball...then shift the cue parallel left or right, OR, do you actually aim and adjust your aim while the cue is left or right of center? Without English, I feel great over the shot and...

I'm starting to get pretty good with stop, draw, follow and speed control and want to add some English to my game. I even bought a LD shaft to make it easier for me. My question is...how are you supposed to aim when using English. I'm not asking how to adjust for deflection....just how to...

Hello. I just bought one of the Q-wiz polisher and it works great. I'm really happy with it. I know the company that makes it also makes some other shaft maintenance products and I went to buy some and got totally confused. Is there anyone who can explain to me the difference between Q-wiz...

thanks Gene I just had a phone lesson with Gene today and it was very cool. I had never talked with him before and he is clearly someone with a passion for pool and teaching. He walked me through the process of the pre-shot routine and making sure I was using my dominant eye correctly. It all...

I am a new pool table owner and am having trouble keeping my felt clean. I have a table with Olhausen Accu-guard cloth made by Hainsworth. It is electric blue and I use blue masters chalk. I've tried the spray foam cleaner with a microfiber towel and also a standard brush. Both work ok with...

Hello. I'm an intermediate player getting back into the game after about a 10 year layoff. I'm thinking of buying a decent cue int the <$500 range. (New or used.) My question is this...how does anyone try cues? The advice I've been getting is that I should try a bunch of cues and see what I like...

I'm trying to improve my stroke and aim and think a laser cue might be helpful so I can truly see where I'm aiming and separate aiming issues from stroke issues. Is it general consensus that these laser trainers are a good idea? If so, can anyone recommend a brand or type that you think is the...

thanks. That is what I wanted to know.

I have an old Mali cue and I'm thinking of trying out a LD shaft with it. Can someone help me out with telling me what type of joint I have. I've attached a picture. The threads thread directly into the wooden threads on the shaft. Thanks a lot!
