    Defy shaft with Navigator Soft tip

    I am about to enter the cf shaft world. I have not hit any of the brands but, since I play with McDermotts, have decided to try a Defy first. I currently play a 314-2, with a LePro tip. I like the hard hit of the LePro and think I want a single layer tip for the Defy but am not sure. Do the cf...

    Older Pool Halls

    Our local pool hall, three tables, in a town of 2000, closed in the late 70’s, maybe early 80’s. I went away to college and it was closed when I returned. I have tried to find pictures of it and have had no success. There are no halls in my area from the 60’s, that have survived. Sad [emoji20]...

    How many would actully watch it..

    If it was available, right now, for $79, I would buy it. A year from now, I would probably pay $49. After that, I will have likely lost interest. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

    Would You Still Gamble With This Guy?

    I would continue to play him. If I understand your OP, you are teammates, somewhat friends, you have gambled in the past, you are the better player and still holding some of his money. My guess is, he is playing for the purpose of beating you, the better player, and you are playing to outrun...

    Understanding Aiming as a Shot Picture

    I understand what you’re saying and, for a long time, have used the same shot picture processes for pool that I have used for shooting. I put my right foot on the shot line, place my bridge hand on the table, touch my chin to my cue and grip the cue, as closely as I can, the exact same way...

    Break shaft diameter

    I have experienced similar results, as yours, with a break cue vs my player. I finally gave up on the break cue and put a LePro tip on a maple shaft and basically recreated my player in a less expensive manner. I mostly play with McDermott. I bought a Lucky in the same weight as my player and...

    Monopoly money in the pot.

    That’s how my chip nights worked. $10 gets you $500 in chips. Gamble away! Cash in at the end of the night. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

    Monopoly money in the pot.

    I have hosted many pool nights using chips as currency. Monopoly money would work as well but seems even less real than chips. Everyone buys in for $X then distribute chips and let the gambling begin. I usually have to help the “loose” money get loose but before it’s over, dice are being thrown...

    Critique my stroke - video analysis

    I agree with what has already been said about “too high” and “stiff bridge arm”. I watched John Morra give a guy, he had just torched, advice about anchoring his bridge arm. It helped me a lot. Don’t be afraid to put your forearm and/or elbow down on the table or rail to stabilize your whole...

    Inside on rail shots?

    I agree with Island Drive and Geosnooker. A frozen ball presents a much different situation than one off the rail. If it’s off the rail, have at it however you want to get position. If it’s on the rail, your position is mostly limited to forward, for most of us mere mortals. I am lucky to bring...

    List Your 2 Favorite Pool Games, In Order, and Why

    1. 8-ball. I like that opponents have different table layouts and therefore different strategies. I also like the creativity in pattern play. 2. 9-ball. It’s fast & furious. Also great for gambles. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums
