    Getting a object ball to follow thru?

    When the 2 balls are close, a) you need backspin on the CB at the instant of contact, but just as important b) you need the axis of CB rotation to be inline with the direction the original OB needs to travel

    problem with mental side of game

    If, after 30 years of playing you are still an SL3 and 300 Fargo, what you need is to spend 5× as much time practicing than playing--but never practice to the point where you mind goes soft and you are "just banging balls" and quit if you get the least bit frustrated.

    Pool cue components or styles that you are not a fan of.

    I do not like wraps. I do not like metal at the joint (wood-wood) I do not like inlays or points on the shaft. Basically anything else goes.

    OB Wood Shaft/ Predator Wood Shaft

    Take the cue to a cue repair person. Have them drill/bore out the weight block threads so you can insert longer weight bolts. Get a longer and/or heavier weight bolt. Live long and prosper. Note:: If you had a weight bolt made from tungsten you would not have to lengthen the bore.

    How many of you steal chalk from the pool hall?

    Many of us would not bend down to pick up a dime on the sidewalk, Yet when you buy Masters chalk in bulk (box of 144) it costs about $0.12 per cube. What does it say about our morals; when we won't pick up a free dime on the sidewalk but will go out of our way to steel a $0.12 cube of chalk ???
