    Anyone ever make tips using THICK leather saturated with Super Glue?

    Old Iowian, Howdy; I was corresponding with L. Bludworth back in 2016-17 and the subject of Hard Tips came up. This is his answer to me; On Saturday, December 24, 2016 2:40 PM, Leonard Bludworth <bludcues@yahoo.com> wrote: Hank, at one time way way back, I used Le-Pro's. I would soak...

    Balkline table markings ?

    Bob, Howdy; I'd looked at Wiki, but the page I looked at may have had the drawing but lacked any kind of definition of scoring or measurements. The links above have the measurements. The videos you recommended are at present, unavailable. Also, I just went to the Balkline page you mention...

    Balkline table markings ?

    Bob J. Howdy; Hoping you'd show up. The UMB site is what it is, fairly good found the rules but they do not have the appendices to the diagrams. So, the cow gives everything except the milk in this instance, chucklin' I'll give it a shot to find Mr. Caudron's info. Thanks for the tip. Went...

    Balkline table markings ?

    Bob J. Howdy; Hoping you'd show up. The UMB site is selfishly in French and they don't link (that I have been able to find), to the diagrams. I'll give it a shot to find Mr. Caudron's info. Thanks for the tip. hank

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    Howdy All; I believe (you don't have to), that we can only attempt to control things that we have direct contact with. Whatever happens after that is considered to be (IMHO), incidental influence. I would and try really hard to just concentrate on what I can/maybe influence. I look at the CB...

    The importance of warming up

    Howdy All; I like to start with simple things to check me and the table; Check stroke, lag foot string to head rail also check speed control by seeing where the CB stops. Where I intend it to or not, Short/Long I'll do this with the side rails too. Do Corner 5 from each corner to see if...

    Single layer tip questions...........

    Vince, Howdy' Not a cue maker or Pro anything, however, I do enjoy a "good Le Pro" tip. I use a powder scale and weigh the tips. The heavier (IMO), are more dense so, stands to reason, they would be less 'fluffy' on the inside. I've also found that they are smoother on the bottoms. Nuttin'...

    The importance of warming up

    skiergd011013, Howdy; Know that of which you speak. 60 miles to Las Cruces, NM and nearest pool hall (Olhausen/Jerry O's). The rest are Private Clubs which allow smoking or 1 or 2 bars with fights. Can't wash the smoke smell outta my clothes so I don't go to the clubs. My choice. hank
