Welcome back, PJ. I'm hoping that you can hang around a while before your next "vacation"-- although you're jumping right back in at the deep end of the pool.

^^^^This^^^^ If the credential had some real substance behind it, I might well be influenced. Otherwise, meh.

Players cues have a lifetime guarantee which covers warpage. (You do supposedly need the original sales receipt.) More info on the warranty appears here.

Maniac: I assume you are referring to the question mark. Being of a generous nature, I've also counted the "dots" in the two "cuetec.com" references. That makes THREE pieces of punctuation!!! -Chaz

bump for the early morning crowd.

$ sent. It's appalling that this can occur in one of the most affluent countries in the world-- but we all know that these situations happen every day. And now we're planning to balance the federal budget by further de-funding the so-called "social safety net" without any corresponding...

That cue was sold under the Crest brand (and maybe others) at chain retailers like Sports Authority. Cue probably dates from the mid-90's or so. Inexpensive (probably $30 - $45 new) and imported from China. Many of them warped like crazy. If yours happens to have stayed fairly straight, its...

Errr... just about everyone I know.

What a difference! You do very nice work, Josh.

Enjoyed the photos, Holly. Thanks for the link, and keep up the good work!

A strong move, Jay. You've always been held in high regard here; a post like this shows that your reputation is well-deserved.

Eddie Felson in The Color of Money: "A little too much to drink... a little too cocky... I really showed my ass..." Can't help but notice that the guy behind him is playing in full sweats. It must be cold in that room.

I've always thought that Dallas has the prettiest stroke that I've ever seen. Sounds like a great time, Dennis.

I'm sorry, Jamison, that I don't have any words of wisdom to convey in response to your aiming question. (Although I believe that you've already gotten some good advice). I do find it admirable, though, that a player of your obvious skills has the humility to come on here and admit that aiming...

I'd LOVE to be called "Giant Killer." I'm usually referred to as "Hack", "Banger", or "Choke Artist." Seriously, Joey, take it as the complement that I'm sure it was meant to be. The TD was just having some fun and trying to build up the calcutta. It's nothing to get worked up over.

I'll answer this by quoting Dr. Dave. He expresses the same idea that I had, and probably a good bit more clearly than I could write it.

OK, I've thought about it... 1) The amount of swooping in the stroke on the right is still unlikely to be produced at the table. The player would almost have to whip his back hand across his body to achieve this. 2) As the sticks are still not parallel in the revised diagram, there probably...

G@d&##!t.... ... you changed the diagram while I was posting! Now I have to think this through all over again!

Yep... what Ken said. You would probably have to grip the cue firmly with the bridge hand and slide your bridge hand across the table to achieve the contact as diagrammed on the right. I also agree with Ken that a "swoop" stroke will, as a practical matter, deliver the cue pretty much as...

Sixth!!!:D:D:D
