Recently, I read an article about the medical tourism to Turkey for hair implants. Pretty interesting.

They are really nice. However, they light up the whole room, and they are really expensive. If instead you like a bright light shining on the table, but you want the rest of the room dark, then check out Littman Lights: https://littmanlights.com/the-1x5-aluminum-light/ or similar...

Why a butterfly case? Is that because you got tired of trying to jam your cues into a JB Rugged? I started with a JB Rugged, and I like the outside pockets on a JB Rugged, but now I prefer a tube style case where the inside of the tubes are padded. It's so much easier to load and unload cues and...

I haven't used the Diamond wood rack, but I have a lot of trouble with the Diamond plastic rack because the head ball sticks to the rack. I think that's because the rack bends too much, which allows the head ball to get jammed into the point of the rack. Someone else said the headball sticks...

Are there chips in the finish around the edge of the black joint collar? Or, is that just dust?

I've got a warped Becue shaft. I don't know it's history, but it leads me to believe that carbon fiber shafts can warp.

Still...it would be nice if the site had an official escrow service.

But a Diamond ain't that:

The 13th rack was pretty sweet. Mika didn't miss a ball the whole match, right? And, neither did his opponent?

A double hit cue ball that indicates a double hit by turning red for a second (nataddrho?). How many times have you seen someone line up a shot where the CB and OB are close together, and you say to yourself, there is no way NOT to double hit the shot as it's being played? Then the person hits...

Maybe this ?

Rollie and Mika:

Dr. Dave has a simple equation for determining the gearing english as a percentage of the maximum possible side spin (= 1/2 the radius): For a 1/2 ball hit that gives gearing english of: 0.80 x (1 - 0.5) = 0.8 x 0.5 = 0.4 => 40 % of maximum side spin For a 1/8 ball hit that gives gearing...

If you are aiming at the ghost ball position, then you are not hitting the ghost ball position when using english because the cue ball will deflect away from the line of aim. Do you know what percentage of maximum side spin (= 1/2 the radius) you need for each cut angle to get the gearing...

tldw; The best cueists in history look/looked at the cue ball last. Your quest is over. The interesting part for me was the statement, "Aiming starts when you are down on the shot." I never understood how people could say that they did all their aiming while standing behind the ball. It...

:cry:

Bob, I practiced a little bit using a grip with no space(but not tightly gripping the cue), and the thing I noticed the most is that the grip restricts my backswing for full length swings. With a loose grip, I can take the cue back farther, which results in more cue speed. Do you teach letting...

Yep, if you hit a ball with speed into a pocket, it will leave a black mark.
