    One Pocket: Filler vs Shuff

    Maybe I should ask for a refund - I bought that book and I don't play 1 hole anywhere near as good as Filler - LOL BTW, if you are going to take up 1 hole or for that matter are already a 1 hole player, this is a GREAT book and video set

    Mike Massey side arm stroke

    This is a great technique. Try it, you will be surprised at how quickly you can master it. I use it as needed, although I won't try to use follow like Mike does - will have to work up to that one

    Adapting to CF shaft

    ...except that the Rogue is 180 degrees different than the REVO in hit and sound. Your advice is perfect for the REVO, but the Rogue almost makes no sound when you hit the ball, totally opposite from the REVO, so a soft tip would exacerbate what the OP is complaining about. OP, if you like the...

    Has the quality difference between "custom" and "production" become negligible?

    Sorry, but this post demonstrates an alarming lack of knowledge of how high end makers make cues My first half of my pool playing, I owned / used only what you might call mass-produced cues: McDermott, Huebler, Joss, Meucci - and all cues were very good cues. Then I got a JossWest cue - holy...

    Good beginner cue brand and price?

    There is NO reason to buy anything that is made in China over a US made product - especially given recent world events Spend a couple of bucksx sand get McDermott or Joss, even if you have to get a used one.

    2 Points to Win? (1st player, alt. break)

    So, the first guy is forced to stop, but the second guy gets to keep going? Yeah, that's fair :o

    I miscue on this shot a LOT, for years.

    Yeah, shorten your bridge - it's WAY too long

    Rogue CF

    I have a Rogue - not quite as smooth maybe as the ridiculously smooth REVO, but very smooth, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing. I agree with trying a glove and keeping the shaft clean

    Pechauer 11.8 CF weight and deflection?

    From the Predator web site. This was shortly after they had come out with the 12.4. Predator spent 10 years developing the 12.9, and then rather quickly developed the 12.4 (changed the taper in the last 12 or so inches of the shaft) to meet demand. Or maybe I just hit a couple balls and made...

    The best non-pro player ever?

    You only left out the parts where you knocked out some tush hog with one punch, and broke a thousand cherries. Don't you know nothing about pool player stories? :)

    Pechauer 11.8 CF weight and deflection?

    My Rogue 12.8 is 3.9 oz. My REVO 12.9 is 4.0 Bear in mind that the REVO 12.9 has less deflection than the 12.4, so the taper also has some effect on deflection. Pechauer's own website does not give any deflection data / comparison.

    Hard to believe but I just watched the worst pool movie ever

    OMG! Every shot....and I mean without exception EVERY SINGLE SHOT in that trailer the pocketed ball was sitting right in front of or even in the pocket :banghead:

    Who builds the best 6 point cue?

    Don't have first hand knowledge, but have heard from knowledgable people that Black Boar 6 pointers were the best. I just got a McWorter 6 pointer, albeit 3 high 3 low, and it not only is flawless workmanship, but plays / hits beautifully. I would also think that, pound for pound, an Olney...

    AZers and the economic meltdown

    No one has made the assertion that this disease only attacks the elderly. But the Elderly are way more at risk OF DEATH than the young, that's why it's imperative that the elderly take the most precaution, and that we keep it out of assisted living / nursing homes.
