    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    I'm not a fan of the MOSFUDAT drill, I can't remember where I learned this drill but I call it the "Whitey don't lie" drill, set the cueball on the foot spot and an object ball on the head spot, the objective is to shoot a stop shot on the object ball, drive it to the rail have it rebound back...

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    The Bulletproof Recoil tip is a really hard tip but it holds chalk like no other, once you shape it all you need is a TipPik type tool to rough it up, I just tap it straight in at the same curvature as the tip and it lasts for about 20 hours of continuous play, you will get a minimum of 1 year...

    Dr Dave says 10.5 mm is the magic number for a dime radius, I did use an 11.8 mm shaft and am using a 12.0mm shaft now, I can't believe how far I can go high,low or sidespin since I reshaped my tip.

    Measle balls in practice

    Even if that's all you get from that it's one thing that helps you know about your stroke/aiming.

    I'm using a Bulletproof Recoil hard (green) tip, best tip I have ever used, I wasn't a hard tip guy, after trying the TAOM FUSION tip I grew to like a hard tip, all hard tips are unforgiving, hit it right and your good, hit it wrong and it'll let you know 😉

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    I don't know what radius you have on your tip but I was using a dime radius for a long time,I was miscuing and couldn't go very low on the cueball, thought the Bulletproof Recoil tip was the problem, followed Dr Dave's advice and reshaped it to a nickel radius and it was like night and day...

    I know what you mean about the firmer hit, took me awhile to figure it out, a full CF cue (butt and shaft) transfers the energy from your stroke more efficiently, it's designed that way, the Engage shaft even more so, I'm using the Prime II 12.0 and it's the perfect balance of shaft flex and...

    The short extension is 2.75", I put that one on my cue when I bought the extensions,(bought separately) I had never owned a cue with extensions, hit with it on my cue for about 20 minutes, it has only come off for "wall shots", I leave that one on all the time, I even ordered my cue case 2"...

    changing game

    I don't think it makes it harder I think it makes it more likely for you to play defense than take the shot, I have heard it said today's players are like robots, they have to be, why take a challenging shot when you can play a lock up safety with such tight pockets, if the pockets were 4 1/4"...

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    I don't know.....the most frustrating part, you go through your whole shot routine, VERY CAREFULLY, everything looks great and then.....you miss...recently I have found one thing I have never considered before but it's really helped my game, using the shot line to see where the cueball must...

    Fedor New Cue?

    I might take that bet, 2 stipulations, you can only use the cue you bring and you must use that cue only.

    tip technology - hardness at center different from hardness at edges

    There are so many tip sizes, Cuetec has a shaft that is 10.5 mm, I have shafts that are 12.5mm,12.0 mm and 11.8mm, and there are plenty more sizes, then you have different tip radius as well, thats why they just make them bigger so it covers all of them.
