Mine is about the radius of a silver dollar. I want a slight radius just in case i need to work the cue ball on a jump shot. However the larger radius is more forgiving should I hit a little off center on a break shot. Rod

I put Triangles in the soft to medium range. They are to tall if not cut down or compressed especially for using lots of english. I think they hold up well, no problem there. However I prefer to use compressed elks myself. Some years ago triangles was a much harder tip and shorter. As time goes...

Well not really, the shaft may have a strong taper. Measure the ferrule then measure appx at 4" increments to appx 16 inches or more. This tells the true taper. As you said it could be the repair person is a bit aggressive or it may just have a strong taper. However the sellers in the for sale...

Not many of those around, I know I own one. It has MOP above and below the joint like yours as well as a MOP butt cap. Mine is a full splice 5 veneer Spain blank. Interesting to see the aluminum insert on the shafts. I have 1 original with that as well. Is that an aluminum Weight screw? I...

Never knew they used an allen head screw except to hold on the bumper. I have an R6, from the factory that uses a straight slot screw. Rod

I wear SAS Time Out, never tried Bout Time. The first time I bought a used pair off ebay. I did not want to spend a hundred fifty and find out I did not like them. I bought new inner liners from SAS. I think there very comfy and use them as work shoes. Since there black I rarely wear them for...

As mentioned you hit a little of the pocket point. The (Dead Man) who is Rick Ortez sp? was given credit for that shot in one of Eddie Robbins 1p books. Sweet shot to make but to much point and it could be a sellout. Rod

You can buy Whiffle balls at a sporting goods store or Wooden beads at a craft store. I used wooden beads strung up on a stiff brass welding rod. Rod

There was a thread in the last week or two about cue balls. I did a search for ball weight but did not find anything. It must be titled different. Here is a bump someone will know. Rod

I see no humor in this video since I am a bus operator. But then again maybe I see a little. A guy a little older than me takes down a punk. Their both a bubble off and was lucky that's all that happened. First thing to remember getting on a bus -- sit down and STFU. Some passengers were...

Well then the other update on the Iowa pool scene should bother you as well. I see some humor here but that other thread is sometimes no more than a BS session. I mean how drunk you got at the bar isn't very pool related either. Rod

Its not my norm to respond this type of discussion. Usually I have much better ways to waste time and energy. Got to love the new ways of describing whats happened for years. The so called elbow drop is really an upper arm drop from the shoulder. The elbow just happens to be attached to the...

There could be an allen head grub screw farther down inside. If not then it did not come with a weight bolt or someone all ready took it out. Rod

I like the idea since getting older balls to freeze can become a task. How fragile is this template and can it rolled up put in a tube to store in your case? Rod

I had never watched that video before this thread. I think as with anything is how one digests this and puts it to practical use. One player may think its firm grip while another thinks its just a slight increase. I think he is saying a slight increase over practice strokes but the player...

I think the grip just needs to be relaxed. Light grip pressure is the common element in relaxed grips. I think the key factor is keeping grip pressure on the forward stroke the same (or very near) as it was at address. Some players may benefit from just a tad heaver grip at address but not...

That is interesting. I have been working on alignment and head position. Since I had cataracts and lens implants I've been a touch off. Somehow along the way I started facing the table a little to much. I think part of it was back surgery as well. So 3 weeks ago I started moving my right foot...

I'm familiar with a 6, 12 and 18 pack or a case. LOL But seriously it is breaking and running those racks in a row. Some may include a first rack where your opponent breaks and comes up dry. Its ok I guess since all balls are on the table. Not to quibble to much about details. Rod

Ok I understand but I wasn't suggesting a lot of right english is necessary. Since the c/b just grazes the side rail it doesn't take a lot and puts emphasis on more low which is needed to get whitey back. As a parallel use the exact same angle. You have to play position on the 9 for the left...
