I agree Lou, old school left the CB on end rail. I force the head ball and draw back to the kitchen. Done properly you don't give up a shot. My percentage is quite high on a make or not selling out. The only problem is if you draw back and scratch. If a ball is in or blocking the upper pocket...

Its at Bullshooters & is not being streamed. I think Lenny is in Cali

Chris, his break cue had a phenolic tip. I think it was Mike Dechaine that called the infraction a few minutes before they played. Rod

I tried a 314-2 and don't like the feel or taper. I seriously doubt lamination effects the feel, glued joints is likely stronger than a 1 piece unit. Predator ferrules are soft, that and a hollowed shaft filled with foam is the major reason for lack of feel. It really depends on how low of LD...

Its not a shock that's why I prefer compound angles. I think many cue makers have not caught on, or don't care that players have different hand sizes. Gloves come in small, med & large. Golf grips come in different sizes & they can add an extra layers of tape to custom fit grip diameters...

Is this why I get this error? Director Player Error This application requires an Xtra (Animated GIF...) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Extras are in the Xtras folder(s). I uninstalled & reinstalled flash player following their...

I've never tried a glove. I can only think of a time or two I might have used one and those were extreme humid conditions. I doubt I will experience those conditions again so no glove for me. Besides I don't mind a little drag if its a little humid, no big deal. Rod

I think the above measurement is pretty accurate. I check mine with dial calipers. I however do not use milk. I soak mine in water less than a minute then press them. I call them water duds! lol I don't think a long soak time is necessary no matter what you use. It only takes a few seconds to...

Joey, what you mean is - some non-believers - not all. Personally, I don't care if some believe or not. As you said though use respect and be done with it. Attacks come from both sides, I've seen it without cause. What I don't get is aiming appears to be like a religious belief to some of you...

Then as a ref I would go by the rules and replay the shot. That's unfortunate for the shooter but its the rules. I suppose if both players agreed (without a ref) to place the c/b in the approximate location(had contact occurred) the game would continue/no foul. Rod

No flame, but I can't think of a better way. The lag is basically by instinct from experience. Buy the rules both players have to lag about the same time. In that short time I think changing lag speed would do more harm than good. That is if you think your opponent shot to slow or fast. To much...

The ball gets re-spotted regardless. In my post above the shooter kicked at the ball & hit the rail when the ball fell. However it would not have hit the ball. In this case it re-spotted & the incoming player had ball in hand. The ball fell & did not interfere with the shot. The OP said it come...

That's how I rule it as well. I was the TD and had that happen. The player kicked and missed the o/b buy a couple of inches and the ball fell. She thought it was good. I said, no close only counts with hand grenades! lol Then I told her the ruling. Rod

Yep that's the shot, thanks to Jeff for the video. Yes closer to the rail and less speed. I've made it where the c/b lands near the side pocket, then hooks back into the rail to make a ball in the corner. It is speed sensitive. The shots been around for years but I don't recall seeing it in a...

Lots Rod >> cant' remember

I'd never pay retail for a production cue, I sold most for 20% off when I had the pool room. Custom cues - what ever the traffic will bare. Rod

I never said squat on aiming threads but I see the yaasayeeers are still trying to instigate :deadhorse:. Give it a rest. Rod

I was 16, my brother and a friend they were going to the Y to play pool. Sounded interesting so I took off on my Cushman (remember them?) to meet them. On the way the motor got hot and locked up. I let it cool down and went on my way. I don't remember the game but I'll never forget a shot I...

That's what I did, 10 to 15 min tops; still do once in a while. The bridge is usually the hard part. I practiced the closed bridge by putting my hand on any flat surface. Hold a pencil if you like, it speeds up the process. Of course your friends might give you a puzzled look; but they probably...

Fred, may I call you Fred, Freddie? If you go to Mr West, I'm sure the wait will be shorter >> much shorter!:grin: Rod
