    Source for Wizard tips?

    I have a Chris Nitti cue, and I would like to replace the tip. I think he uses Wizard S (soft) tips. Does anyone know of a reputable source for Wizard tips? Thanks.

    Tip tool shaping question

    I don't ever plan to lay my Last4Ever tip tool on the floor. I seem to have been born with natural ability to shape my tips with the tips pointing up and the Last4Ever tip tool in my hand. As for scratching the ferrule, I have done that when using the burnisher, and I won't ever try to use the...

    Starting again after 20 years - where to start, please?

    #1 : Either you need to video yourself, or you need to hire an instructor to watch/video your stroke and give you advice. #2: If you'd rather go the self taught route, get the book "Play Great Pool" by Mark Wilson. You will read about his recommendations for every aspect of your stroke: the...

    Anybody familiar with Antiques in Colorado Springs ?

    The pool hall's full name is Antique Billiard Museum and for good reason: they have all kinds of antique tables (along with antique memorabilia everywhere) including what I thought was a Kling; and there was one 9' Brunswick by the entrance, I don't know if there were more scattered elsewhere...

    Another Bad Example

    Did you actually draw the cue ball back? Stop shot on the 7-ball drifting down the tangent line so that the cue ball is parallel with the 8-ball, then you can naturally go two rails for the leave on the 9-ball

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    That seems like a perfectly reasonable aiming method. If you are cutting the object ball to the left, and you aim the object ball at the near edge of the pocket, and you aim your cue a little to the right of center on the cue ball and: 1. You hit your aim point on the cue ball, then the object...

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    That's like saying hitting straight only has one deviation: around the middle. There are ALWAYS three possibilities: hitting where you aimed, hitting left of where you aimed, and hitting right of where you aimed.

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    If you pick a side, and you don't change your aim to account for the throw, then your pocketing will be worse than if you try to hit center ball and aim at the center of the pocket: If I pick a side, say slightly to the right of the center of the cue ball, and I aim at the center of the pocket...

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    If I aim at the center of the pocket, and I aim to hit the center of the cue ball: 1. If my aim is true, and I hit the center of the cue ball, then the object ball will go into the center of the pocket. 2. If I miss the center of the cue ball slightly to the left, then the object ball will be...

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    If you pick a side, say a little to the right, and you miss and hit center ball, then what? Picking a side doesn't help things. If you can accurately hit a little right every time, then you don't need to pick a side, instead you can pick center ball. It doesn't matter what your margin of...

    quick question for you all about draw shots

    If you hit a shot hard, either with backspin or follow (or stun even) and there is an angle, the cue ball will go down the tangent line for a bit. It sounds like your cue ball is going down the tangent line before drawing. There are two reasons that I can think of why that may be happening...

    Scammers hijacking accounts

    The same hacker who got control of BryanMordt's account last week and listed a Kikel cue for sale also just hacked the account of brandoncook26 (an account with 46 positive transactions) and listed the same Kikel cue for sale as well as a Nitti cue. Be careful in the For Sale forum.

    Three Rails Around Question

    So, that's the Corner-5 system. You can watch videos about it. The standard track is with the cue over the corner pocket (5) and aiming at the 3rd diamond on the opposite long rail. The Corner-5 system says that the difference: 5-3=2 is where the cue ball will hit the other long rail, then...

    SightRight tool

    You cannot buy the gadget by itself--you have to sign up for a membership to get the gadget--although you could try to 3D print one at your local library. I recently gave up on SightRight. My brain never adjusted after many months of doing the drills. To hit a straight in shot, it looked like...
