    Soaking Leather Tips

    Howdy All; I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention that I'm a huge fan of pooldawg8's milkduds. Bought my first one 4 or 5 years ago. Put some on a few friends cues as well.

    What Do You Look For in a Pool Instructor

    Traveling with a cue and TSA.

    Howdy All; For those of you that do or are about to for the first time. This guy does travel with firearms a great deal.

    gregc, Howdy; Got my hands on the series of CDs that the PAT uses. Found an English version as I don't understand much German. One of the first things they taught was to find the natural Balance point of your cue then stand with arms relaxed, to see where the cue tip was pointing. Then align it...
