How good is he at banking? The 7-ball makes it a big pocket. And, if he hits the bank at pocket speed and misses, the 8-ball could be a pocket blocker.

Link? Edit: I think this is it:

The op can always dredge up a 10 year old For Sale ad again, and ask, "Is it still available??" What a thrill that must be to find cues that are listed with 2015 prices.

Just for fun, I'll post another quote from Dr. Dave:

Yet, you seem incapable of reading a simple graph that belies what you say. According to Dr. Dave's article on SIT, your understanding is wrong. You would be surprised: Dr. Dave asked me where on his site it said that maximum SIT occurred with a straight shot, so that he could change that...

According to Dr. Dave's paper on SIT, the greater the cut angle, the greater the maximum SIT you can achieve. With slow speed, stun, and 1/2 maximum sidespin, that creates the maximum SIT for a straight in shot, but that isn't the maximum SIT you can achieve for all cut angles. Maximum SIT...

...so the cue ball was 4-5 diamonds from the object ball? Depending on how hard you hit the cue ball, you might have got the same effect hitting center ball. As long as the cue ball achieves full roll before hitting the object ball, it doesn't matter whether you hit top, center, or backspin...

Of course "force follow" is real. This is all from Dr. Dave (so you probably already know it)...Overspin is created by a rolling cue ball hitting an object ball. The collision causes the cue ball to gain more topspin than a rolling cue ball and dive forward of the tangent line. For a long...

From that article: Max SIT goes up the greater the cut angle, so a cut angle of 0 (straight in) may have the LEAST throw effect on the object ball. Reference: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/sit-and-cut-angle.537393/ I wonder: will a small amount of sidespin cause more throw on a...

Can you get more backspin with that shaft??

So if the cube hasn't been turned, and you gammon your opponent, it's just 1 point? Ahh, Mr. Beal's name pops up again in regards to gambling. Many years ago, I was playing poker at the Bellagio, and the room was abuzz. I asked what everybody was whispering about, and I was told the poker...

1. Set your fast hit speed limit at 1/2 of what you are currently trying to hit. If getting position requires anything beyond that, then you have to tell yourself you cannot get position, so play defense. 2. Practice long shots with no english at your fast speed limit. 3. Practice long...

Amazing. If I had done that to one of my shafts, I would have thrown it in the trash--not realizing it could be repaired. I have followed your threads about cue repairs, and your skills are remarkable.

1. It can suck hunting for a house cue that isn't warped and has a decent tip to use as a break cue. 2. The break is a pretty important shot. If you haven't studied where each ball in the rack will go, see Dr. Dave's videos. You'll see that in 10-ball, the pros can make up to six balls on...

Doesn't sound like it's free.

...and cue racks in the bathrooms. No smoking, by which I mean if you go outside and smoke, you will not be allowed back in; or if you show up smelling like smoke, you will not be allowed in. In other words, smokers will not be allowed in the poolroom. I would probably institute a dress code...

I'm right handed and my vision center is directly under my left eye. To train my aiming with my left eye over the cue, I do drills that involve cutting an OB right to left (hitting the OB on the right, so that it deflects left into the pocket), and also cutting an OB left to right. I also do...
