Beautiful Huebler Hustler, recently refinished by Scot Sherbine of Proficient Billiards. One or two racks of play since refinish. Straight save for the slightest of taper rolls, noted for full transparency. Butt - 29 inches, 16.33 oz. Huebler shaft with nylon insert - 29 inches, 3.92 oz...

Is there a way to make the new website appear and function on an iPhone in the same way that it does on a desktop ("Classic" format vs. "Mobile" format)? Thank you.

Here are the veneers, just to show what complements the butt sleeve, on the other side of the wrap.

Here’s the butt sleeve of the JW that I purchased new in 1979. Five maple windows in ebony. Still have it and will never part with it.

Thanks for posting this. Very enjoyable to read.

And I saw this, FWIW: https://www.pooldawg.com/article/pooldawg-library/pool-player-safety-tips

This post (and its predecessor from SJM suggesting that a 1/3 guy has a shot), together with the following statement from Kanzzo in one of his posts - “And it depends on the amount of concentrated training and attempts you put in” - got me thinking. I am among those who have 100 balls as a...

This is exactly right.

Kindly advise as to what data source(s) you are relying on here. There is a fair amount being written about undercounting. For example, FL nursing home numbers. See, for example...

I’m glad you clarified that. I certainly understood your thinking on whether it is real. But your earlier post (#20) began with “I don't take issue with the views expressed by anyone in this thread.” One of those views was that you are “a sheep who watches cnn and thinks this is all real and...

SJM - While I applaud your closing sentiment - a wish of hope to all to survive these tough times and be able to move on to a positive future, I think it is unhelpful to validate any and all views, no matter how unfounded or mean-spirited. Starting with ... whether the Corona virus is real...

Sir - The Financial Times put together a fairly deep look at excess deaths: https://www.ft.com/content/6bd88b7d-3386-4543-b2e9-0d5c6fac846c It showed that for a two month period - March and April - excess deaths in NYC were about 300 percent higher than the average for that same two month...

Bob - The shot at 59:00 - foul? Looked like it, to me. That seemed to be the consensus of the commentators, although they debated it for a while. One consideration: despite the belief of the commentators, I’m not sure that the CB is frozen. Maybe it was. Just not possible to be sure of...

Thanks for following up on this. Whatever you can post that would not be against morals or laws would be really, really appreciated!

Here is another piece raising questions about claims of successful treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hydroxychloroquine-and-azithromycin-versus-covid-19/

Brian - I join those hoping that that you get well soon. Here is an article about the doctor being frequently mentioned on Fox News. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/technology/doctor-zelenko-coronavirus-drugs.amp.html

RIP Mr. Stroud, and sincerest condolences to his family. His work is legendary, for good reason. He brought so much to the art, and I sense it was because he was such an independent thinker. Here is a dimension of that independent thinking of which I was not aware until just now, when I...

Yes, Byrne’s Standard Book of Pool and Billiards was my first source (I would say only source, by Ray Martin’s 99 Shots was also an instruction source for me). Interestingly, Byrne minimized the existence of squirt, which left me, for years, of the mind that throw was basically a SIT thing. I...

Yes, there it is. I was focusing on Section 6, which addresses Maximum Throw, and the demonstration and discussion there does not include anything about adding spin and thereby causing even more throw.

Yes, but what about the application of spin? Are you saying that, assuming one has already, and properly, set up to maximize friction (and will be striking the CB at the speed that will maximize throw), it makes no difference, in a frozen ball combination scenario, whether spin is applied or not?
