Played in a bar league that roamed the city. Every other week your bar team goes to another bar and plays them. One week your regulatlr, next some other bar. Silly rules, no bih, no rail, no combo different balls with open table, and call shot on the 8. Also game loss if you call the 8 and...

Is the black shaft CF and white wood ?

Very similar story here. I can play with cf, but prefer wood by long shot. Was curious about keilwood shafts for a while, and ended up with a 60" Diveney cue with two of his keilwood shafts. The shafts are play great, and are extremely stiff. There is next to no flex in the shafts. That...

Definitely ugly but there people who will buy them. And i bet they go up in price on the second hand market, being limited edition and all. I like my cues to look like a cue. Not a shiny crustacaen. If predator had been thinking they would make a t-rex or a raptor cue, with a lot of...

The avid cues are a good cue for the money. I have played with a few, they are consistent feel pretty natural. I dont like the designs, but i like old school looks. It is definitely a good cue comparably for that price range. I wouldn't call it a POS. probably one of the better cue for a...

A number of things would be inconsistent. Off the top of head, i see a few ways that errors would occur using two shafts. Shafts will have a drop at the tips. Not a perfect transfer to the cloth. Depending on shaft location on the rail, the angle will change. You wont be able to line the...

All the above.

I read both answers .. now I am more confused.

Now now. A lot these readers live in Texas and it is summer. I bet some of them dont AC. Nothing quite like a hot summer in Texas, or so i habe been told.

You record your games, upload, and it tracks the balls for you. You could use it to track consistency of shots, why see what the end result is of your shots. I am not sure how useful it would be. I could see it possibly being useful to track you break to make it more consistent. If you are...

I work backwards from the outcome to understand what happened. The OB and CB ended up where they are for specific reasons. I plot out the series of events that caused the outcome, having the knowledge to understand why that happened which tells me what to do to duplicate or change the outcome...

Depends on whose feet were in the shoes, and if any birds were flying over the bus recently.

Good way of putting it. Yes, that is essentially what i do. I know you were responding to someone else, but this fits for me as well ;p

Not being able to visualize does not prevent me from aiming. I can not visualize something not there, but i can line up to objects that are there and understand how they interact together. I dont see the outcomes in my mind, but i can understand and predict them. Lining my cue up from my back...

Hate to break it to you, you are a little person ;). Any tall versions ? As in, xl tall ?

Roy Mason lives about an hour away from me. I have only chatted with him a few times, but a great guy. He got the old dufferin stock when they closed up here and has a lot of blanks. I picked up an ebony/maple fullsplice blank off him about 8 or so years ago. Had a local cuesmith finish it...

Agreed. Canadian here. The aluminum joint is terrible. I loved the "glider" joint they did on some of the nicer cues. When i find those on the second hand market i always pick them up. I know somone who though he would break with a new alluminum pin dufferin many years ago and bent it...

I have a chidlish sense of humour. IBS gloves, Irritable Bowel Syndrome gloves make me chuckle too much to use. Widely used at our hall though.

Aphantasia is the inabilty to create mental images. Ghost ball has never worked for me because i can not actually picture it. I never knew this was a thing until a few years ago. I never understood how people could picture things in their head, when i just really associate things them with...

The group leagues are not really for me. I play in a sunday doubles, set of 7 games ballcount for end of session standings and i play in a singles, two sets of 5, against two opponents, ball count end session standings. Average player is 400-500 fargo, a few 500-600, and the occasional 600...
