    Pre-shot routine

    I use the same simple method I do for Golf.....There are really only 4 physical things I can control...Everything that happens is a result of those 4 things....change any one of those 4 things...changes my stroke. "Prior" to the routine I visualize the shot.....and not just making the ball...

    My aiming system is guessing....who use the Guessing System?

    If I asked you to tell me what 1' is (or 1") most would say "about that much," and be fairly close.....If I asked you to cut a board 1' long or 1" by guessing where to cut....very few would get it exactly right....The good news is...you don't have to be exactly right in most cases to pocket a...

    3D printed pool cue

    That is some dialed in stepper motors and extruder for those tolerances!!! Based on the orientation of the print....If I was to bet....My bet would be it will break flush where the threads meet the butt....been down that road with threaded prints........to add some strength to...

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    BHE - Back Hand English PHE - Parallel Hand(s) English FHE - Front Hand English is probably the common term.....I personally get consistent results with PHE (moving the whole cue....both hands)

    3D printed pool cue

    Nice (adventurous) project.....Heard good things about those Bambu....I am just your standard Fusion 360 - Cura - Creality guy....One printer set up for hard plastic...One set up for TPU........ASN may be something to explore if the PLA does not hold up to your liking...ASN is used frequently...

    Utilizing peripheral vision during the final stroke

    The reality is...it does not matter....If you are aligned correctly and have a straight stroke....once aligned you can close your eyes and make any shot....I think most misses are actually a result of pulling the trigger not fully aligned...and/or crooked stroke

    The new I can’t get better without a gadgets are in

    Never used one so really don't know anything about them.....I can tell you what I do....On a actual gun the outer sights are closer to your eye and the middle sight is further away....the the middle sight needs to be centered between the outer sights (for straight shooting).....on my guizmo that...

    The new I can’t get better without a gadgets are in

    I feel like the device in the OP just forces a "swing path" or "stroke path".....I have seen very similar devices used for Golf swings.......and although it puts you on the proper swing path.....It does not always put you in a proper grip, stance, posture and alignment to reproduce that swing...

    Giveaway Signs of Beginner / Recreational Players

    Years ago I played in a Cali tournament Efren played in.....Efren's cue had electrical tape as the wrap....and his shaft had more craters in it than the moon.

    Interesting aim trainer device

    I use that red bar point (base of ghost ball) to determine my starting cue alignment line....However....I extend it through that point to the OB....that becomes my contact point with center shaft...(not the actual true contact point between GB/OB).........When that point is "off the ball" is...

    Perimeter ball polisher

    Hmmmmm........I have always just used a DIY carpet line a bucket cleaner I made for around $20-30...(cost of a car polisher).........They do great at cleaning the balls....the only knock on them is the lack of ball divider.....This thread reminded me that I have a swapped out ceiling fan motor...

    Unusual/weird/unique billiard tools and implements

    First post in IDK how long.....Been out of the pool scene due to life and current job...at best a sometimes weekend warrior....In the meantime I have developed some "GOOSE-3D" things pool related....One that fits the weird/unique tool/implement. All made from a flexible rubber like material...

    personal discovery in stroke

    I am not sure which instructor, but IIRC there is a fairly will known instructor (of the pros) that makes players do a drill where you lay the cue on the rail and shoot shots one handed.

    What's in your JB Case? - WIN A CASE.

I don't carry a ton of stuff in my case....but here is my custom...
