I don't think oil is the way to go... and once it hardens, yes, it would be difficult for a finish to adhere to it without removing wood (since the oil absorbs into the wood). It takes a bit of time to build up enough of an oil finish to get it to a point where it could be shined to a high...

I was born lefty but my parents made me a righty.... I'm pretty severely left-eye dominant, so it did pose challenges at first, with a lot of things. But you learn to adopt. If someone keeps missing a particular shot fat, they have to learn to hit it thin - REGARDLESS of what anyone thinks.

The cocobolo will darken a little over time... Still a great looking sneaky Pete ata great price. Reminds me of 20 years ago, when I could have bought a bunch of new Tim Scruggs sneakies for $145 each!

At that distance you can get follow naturally because the CB is rolling as it hits the OB... As to draw... you can practice hitting soft ones with an open bridge and the OB about a diamond away, and work up from there. Juat get it to come back the same distance it left, it don't take much...

I think more people would get more joy out of this game, while helping the pool industry, by pairing someone with a cue that would actually work for their game, instead of the current business model of introducing a whiz-bang new technology every 6 months or a fancy new fall model that people...

I agree, but the right place one day is not the in the same place the next. So, who teaches THAT? I used to play a lot with another kid in college, and he'd swear he was stroking straight, when in fact he swerved the cue slightly to the side he has applying English to. Nobody taught him that...

I don't see anywhere on the site that they have specific grades of BEM - light figure, high figure - so I'd assume that would have to be requested? It does look like a nice cue and there's some nice, yet not overt, figuring. Don't know if that's worth the upgrade however?

Living behind Cross County.... go to Cafe occasionally, coming back after a 7 year hiatus and 15 year hiatus a in tournaments... PM me.

This is cool... I live in Yonkers, so it's a short drive for me...

Not against drills, but WTF is that attire?! Did he sleep there last night?

I believe it's just the black on top of black, white on top of white. Green together, don't know if there's a ground lug somewhere on your tool's frame. BTW you guessed right about the green!

Even with CF mountain bikes, what appears to be a small scratch could be the beginning of a catastrophic failure. Aluminum frames even suffer from metal fatigue and can be subject to joint failure as well. Golf's long drivers routinely break shafts... I saw one fail as the shaft hit the guy's...

It's difficult because there are so many variables, between shaft, and tip, and ferrule material, and joint type, that the things used now to measure cannot quantify anything with accuracy. I think borrowing a page from golf club makers would be very beneficial. Items would include: General...

Well, when you're up a few games on your buddy, there's nothing like leaving yourself straight-in for the 9 in the corner, and drawing the CB back 3 rails for the next break...

Totally agree. But calling this thing a PVC tube filled with foam, or a stock CF tube filled with window sealant, is just a misrepresentation of what the Revo is. I don't have one, wouldn't buy one unless I had disposable income, don't even own anything made by Predator. I'd like to try one...

That would seem true, but it happens even when the cutting length is pretty minimal. I've used as small as .010" and the cutting length is only about .010" or so, and only going .002" per pass, with air assist. This doesn't happen with ebony, but almost always with rosewoods., where the oil...

You can influence the spot ball on the break with some control, and on some frozen shots where the OB is supported, to move the OB away from the predicted travel line (as in Byrne's book)

Well, with the diameter of the slot cutters, to have more than 1 edge engagement would require a large amount of stock to remove, or maybe at least 8-10 cutting edges, both which I don't think is the case here. Onsrud makes a 3-flute lo-angle spiral bit for woods 60-241 for 1/4", and 60-249 for...

That tie, undone, without a vest would cause a few fouls...
