I wonder how well it holds a cue. Unless it is fairly loose it looks like if it were knocked over it would snap your shaft just before the tip.

I'm a nit so this is more of an incentive. My justification to my girlfriend will be saving money on shipping for some more chalk.

I'll be watching for updates.

I can't keep anything on the stinger and have found I'm just not a fan of phenolic tips. To get some chalk on it make sure to use the swipe method not the fire starting method. You will get it chalked but don't plan it still being chalked after one break. I've given up on phenolic tips and just...

I know of a few tournaments around here that have 9 and 10 ball BnR pots that rack all 15. I don't know if one of them go on the break if it's considered a dry break though. My guess is it would be a dry break but I'll have to check next time I'm out.

Lets give it a try, I'm in. :)

Sorry to highjack the thread, but when you guys practice alone, do you normally break like you would in a match or do you just open them up or do you set it up as you are starting your second rack?

Well, I found a new table to practice on. It's tough to not get frustrated but these pockets are a lot tighter and I think it will help me improve. Normally this area is only open on the weekends when the bar gets a little more busy and they don't let anyone shoot on the 9 footers. The one next...

You mean if I buy a 6k dollar cue with an ultra super low deflection shaft and buy every dvd out there I won't become a pro within a year? I do find it funny when I see the posts about people looking to become a pro within x amount of time. Everyone has seen my god awful playing and I have no...

Great move by the owner to throw some money back to Gary after and what a small amount to ruin your rep over.

I appreciate it Scott, but there are just to many factors that will play into meeting up with you. If one test script fails on Saturday I'll likely be stuck working late into the night, if the girlfriend gets tired of shopping, and no clue how much time I would have. Don't wait around for me...

Thanks Tex, I'll look into as soon as I have some spare time next week. I've also been told Manning on youtube is worth a look. I'm going to practice again tomorrow hopefully making for an odd week when I got to shoot 4 nights in a row, normally it's only 1 or 2 in the summer. I'm actually...

This sounds like the small town bar league I played doubles in. A foul was behind the headstring. you had to call everything so if you were shooting the 5 off of the six you had to call it. If you called a ball in the side pocket you had to specify how many rails so if you missed badly and it...

I'll be getting in late Friday night. I know Saturday my girl is shopping and I may be able to get away for a little bit if you're still around if all goes well on the project I'm working on.

Thanks for the tips RJ. I know by bridge is stupidly long and I'm going to try to shorten it but even before posting here I've tried and tried to find a comfortable short bridge and it just feels wrong to me, probably because I started out wrong and for some reason the bridge and the 2 stroke...

If I was I'm sure I would have an instructor down here now. :) But now that you mention it, if he ever needs a double maybe I should apply.

Wow, you really went out of your way Hang the 9. I really appreciate all the feedback I've got in this thread and I'm suprised how cool almost everyone has been. Just a small update. I shot again today and this time I tried shooting in my contacts for the first time. I uploaded 2 videos and...

Hell, I thought I only had 2. Soft and stupidly hard. I agree I think I try to compensate for me missing my spot on the cb with speed. I do notice when trying to draw at more than a couple feet I tend to hit hard and instead of drawing the cb stops and just spins to the right for a few seconds...

I'll be in Minneapolis until Sunday for work and don't have the cash laying around right now. :( I appreciate all the positive responses in here and look forward to putting them in. Hoping to get out tonight but I'll be out tomorrow for sure. Thanks everyone!
