    Yes - for instance, Pleasures of Small Motions emphasizes focusing on the shot, not the score. Another similar one that might be useful is Zen In the Art of Archery. pj chgo

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    I don't think anybody disagrees. Only that the referee should have obvious/verifiable evidence. pj chgo

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    I wouldn't trust a foul called on me with such "hearsay" evidence. I say no foul unless it's obvious, usually by the CB taking an obvious detour from its normal path. That should also limit it to fouls that matter. pj chgo

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    Are LD shafts only really helpful on long shots w/ a lot of side spin?

    Backhand and fronthand english describe which hand to move sideways the most for high-deflection (backhand) and low-deflection (fronthand) shafts. Pivot points (where the cue crosses the shot line) are at or closer to the opposite hands. I think one is only better than the other in how it...
