    you get what you pay for... SAYS WHO?

    I didn't say they play the same. The hit, feel, and balance point are all somewhat different. However, the amount that actually affects how the cb reacts when it is hit with the tip is negligible. Thus, you can use just about any cue and put similar amounts of action on the cue, and play just...

    you get what you pay for... SAYS WHO?

    I disagree about the cues playability. I have a few different cues, and one of them is. $30 graphite cue I got at Walmart when I first started playing. I can make the cb do the same thing with that cue that I can do with any other cue I have. They each feel a little different doing it, and...

    Position Play Drills?

    While i think the above drill has very good value, and definitely has its place in position play improvement, I think you are better off playing specific position drills where the ball is meant to be made in a certain pocket, and the CB to end up in a certain place. I think repetitively...

    It's a copy not a tribute ~ Can we be honest?

    A tribute gives the original maker the credit for the design, while a copy does not. That is the major difference. Calling a cue a tribute also suggests that the cue maker is inspired by a design they see by another maker. I really like some Gina cue designs I have seen, but could never...

    Can you top my bad luck???

    Quit seeing it that way, and plan your leaves better. There is no way you actually have consistent bad luck over time that is any worse than someone else's that isn't due to your playing style. Your explanation of bad luck itself referred to problems that you could have controlled some.

    Chicago AZers Get Together II

    I figure everyone is entitled to do what they want, however it would kind of suck to be at a Chicago event and have to look at Green Bay packers gear all day.

    Can our sport ride the green wave ???

    Please don't tell me you think the answer to solving pools problems and improving its image is pot!! This will definitely drive many away from any public use of the sport of pool. I love playing the game, and my girls play with me whenever I go to shoot. If pot became a mainstream support of...

    Well, I'm out the 14th also, and would probably need the 21st or 28th. Who knows, maybe it will work out.

    Chicago AZers Get Together II

    I had last minute family come into town and stay at my house last year that stopped me from making it, but I am hoping to make it this year. I have a pretty crazy schedule with 3 little girls in a lot of activities, but if I can make it, I will be there. The craziness has significantly dented...

    Enough with the Indians and arrows.

    I've never used that expression, but I think you may be going a little overboard suggesting steroetyping or....maybe worse. no one means any harm by the expression, and the way it is termed does not imply any cultural stigma, so it should not be taken that way. It is a symbolic comparison, not...

    So am I totally wrong on this?

    I find the fact that this question comes up so often very interesting. To be honest, I think the idea that playing the game instead of drilling to get better is something that people who don't want to be disciplined enough to drill came up with to justify just playing all the time. There is no...

    Is it "Common Practice" to Split the Money in the Finals These Days?

    I personally don't believe in splitting. Why play the tournament if you are going to do that. I do think the calcutta matters also, but I wouldn't split either way.
