I too returned after about a 20 year layoff. The thing that helped me most was “getting in the grease.“ Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rolling a shaft back and forth across your thighs, as you sit in a normal upright position, is as close as you can get to a lathe’s action. It works great with the Willard shaper. Be as gentle or aggressive as you need. I use it frequently for scuffing, shaping and burnishing tips. Be careful...

I watched the video but can’t remember if this was mentioned. These shots require the same tempo and timing as normal/level shots. When “jacked up” I have to fight the urge to punch it. If I pick my CB contact point correctly, it is the same stroke as any other shot. I basically have to tell...

Never seen it, never heard of it and never doing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in complete agreement, after the D’s, McDermotts weren’t quite the same cue, with one exception. I think their Revival Series, made in 1995, are also great cues. Might just be the look but I’ve played with one for 30 years and it is a very good cue. No doubt in my mind, that up to and...

https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/no-draw.554729/ I think I.D. went down this path back in June of 2023. I believe he called it "Rail Draw" then.

Since about 2010, maybe before, I wholly disagree with this. The gamble in my area is completely known. There are still some pretty good $ gambles, $500 sets, but they are rare. Mostly $10-$50 sets, that may produce some good money. Both parties are fully aware of each parties abilities...

In every tournament I’ve ever played, that shot is good. Ball and pocket only, for calls. That being said, years ago, I have also been in several disputes over similar situations. However, not so much in the last 10 or so years. Seems like players are now more accepting to call ball and pocket...

Agreed. Nuff said! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As kids, my friends and I frequently played HORSE on a pool table. It was great fun and definitely a game that favored the shotmakers. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I too had read it was about leaving the building and not so much smoking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m 64 years old. Was bitten by the pool bug around 9 years old. My first exposure to televised pool was Wide World of Sports in my mid-teens. Since that time, I have been a huge fan of professional pool and followed it as closely as I could. As has been said, every time one of these threads...

Because the alternative to being a year older is quite grim.

There we go. Now it’s pool related. [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s easy to tell what color of egg your hen will lay. Just check the color of their earlobes. Their eggs will be the same color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s an opportunity, for the fan, to watch some rotation, while 1-pkt and banks are being played. Not overdoing it keeps it from interfering/overshadowing the actual tournament, which is 1-pkt and banks for the first four days. Still plenty of time for world class play in the AccuStats arena...

I don’t use a glove. I also agree that all hands are different. With that being said, the glove in my case is a Cuetec. It is a very good glove. Do what you want with that information. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I won’t make it to DCC, until Tuesday so I’m not sure about this years action. However, the best action used to happen in the “Practice Room/Green Room”. It mostly ended when they started to schedule matches on those tables. The match ups there were far more entertaining than the arranged big...

Not to me. Pool Hall Junkies is way up there on my list. [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a rental for me. It was very good and great entertainment, for any pool fan, but not a classic documentary/film that I will want to watch over and over. Well worth the rental, IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
