In my opinion, Tony acted like he knew that letting go of his cue wasn't a foul in the Memorial tournament.

Challenge someone at your local pool hall to play one handed for $20 a rack. You'll figure it out shortly.

I can't feel when my forearm is perpendicular to the cue. I like the feel of no wrap cues the best, but I can't feel where my grip location causes a perpendicular forearm. On the other hand, the edge of a wrap can let you know where you grip hand is on the cue, so for instance if you know that...

You should have pulled out a cigarette lighter and said, "Hold out your cue!"

What??? I can jump a ball off the table without ever stroking up.

They play pool in the movie. Are you okay now?

I also thought Tombstone was a great movie and Val Kilmer was excellent. Val Kilmer was also good in Heat, another great movie.

Thanks. In my notes, I have Wizard S as his standard. I'm not sure where I got that from, but I thought it was from Chris Nitti's son. I also have the following hardness ratings for Wizard tips (from Mueller's): The Medium seems pretty hard. For instance, Ultraskin tips have these ratings...
