    C. J. Wiley - A Touch of Inside

    I could never wrap my head around the TOI concept.....In one sentence he says we can't be accurate on striking center CB but then goes on to say hitting TOI allows us to remove the problem....If I can't be accurate at center CB...how am I all of a sudden accurate with TOI.....and how much is a...

    Can a soft tip be hardened while on the shaft?

    Elk Master.....put a tip on...tap the tip on concrete...when it gets to the hit you want...go get it re-shaped....I have seen that process done. IIRC there used to be guys that made milk duds...soak a Le Pro or Elk Master in milk...then press in a vice....(never seen that done but heard about...

    3D Printed Taom square chalk holder

    TPU works best for me with a direct drive set up.....I have one printer dedicated for TPU so I don't have to monkey with settings

    3D Printed Taom square chalk holder

    Try printing it n TPU...you will get a much better grip and I think it makes the holder more durable....and the fuzzy skin setting does help...I think it looks better as well. I posted pics in the Taom thread a while back..I make one I call the comfort grip....I actually make it for all chalk...

    What’s wrong with me?

    I went from a P314 12.7 to a Rhino CF 12.7 and noticed significant less deflection....It seems from other thread that the smaller diameter CF will have more deflection than the larger....I wonder did you by chance move to a smaller 12.x CF shaft? If no....I have no other guesses.

    Cue alignment???

    Huh????....are you trying to say that for all these years Earl is less than a top player????....Video record many times over of Earl looking down for absolute careful placement of grip.... Point is....you can have both......flow and careful placement

    Cue alignment???

    What seems to be a bit bass ackward in pool is that the cue gets positioned based on the grip/bridge head and feet........reality is that what should happen is the cue should get positioned and then the player sets the feet, head, grip/bridge to the cue. This is how it is done in Golf....The...

    Cue alignment???

    You might try starting with your grip hand aligned on the shot line while standing and then just rotate your whole body so the cue is pointed down the shot line....bend over dropping the cue on the shot line..... You look to be pretty strong right eye dominant...you have an advantage of a...

    Anyone Have Success Using a Wrist Brace?

    I am not a fan of devices that force you to do something on a perceived correct path.....that device may force you on a correct path...but since it is not natural...under pressure it will break down........I am more a fan of finding the proper grip/stance/posture that naturally allows you to...

    Ambition to get better slowly decreasing - no tourneys available

    I said this many years ago but it fell on deaf ears......IMO there should be more "open" events where everyone goes to the same race.....However....based on your (Fargo) rating determines your (incremental) entry fee.....As you get down to the Fargo ratings that have no chance....Let them play...

    What if pool had NBA levels of money involved?

    In an alternate universe....I have the vision of a hawk and I am the MJ of pool. Now for the reality of that kind of money in pool....Agents would be ripping off the players...lots of bad investments.....lots of DUI stops and "clubbing" incidents on the news......many many baby momas wanting...

    Dr. Dave's first YouTube Short

    I think you need to let them know who your are in the short....Dr. Dave needs to be in there somewhere...beginning comments. The peace sign will not have the same meaning to the younger generation....and across the pond if done wrong can be offensive. Perhaps V for "Victory Shots" or something...

    stance- good places to point feet?

    Kind of an old thread but perhaps a slightly different approach....Although not an instructor (of pool) I do have an instructors background (in Golf) and some have mentioned to me that I probably should be a instructor. Been away from pool for a few years....but recently getting back at it with...

    Sharking Moves

    How about the "Cackling Hens" shark......At first I wasn't sure I was being sharked....I kind of thought they were just a couple idiots...... For reference....I suck buttermilk compared to the two Es...... They guy I was playing sucked that much worse than me and I pretty much knew this was a...

    Sharking Moves

    I am surprised nobody brought up the "self shark"...and I would bet good money that everyone has done it at one time or another....I am guilty in both golf and pool. Two major kinds... #1 Out of your "comfort zone" shark. I have done this in golf.....could get 2,3,4 under but could never seem...

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    I get that on specialty shots (usually on a altered CB axis...AKA jacked up) or frozen to the rail where the tip can easily slide off.....sacrificing shape and looking at the CB last is sometimes the best option.... For standard shots...once aligned you can actually close your eyes and shoot...
