    When pro's use their cue to measure or sight whatever, why do they....

    Well......I guess the first question is.......Where is the Side, Front and Middle???

    Items taken to the pool hall getting weird.

    I don't like bringing much in a pool room....more watch and/or forget......especially a cramped up bar room weekly tournament....for those...a cue (no case) in two pieces under my arm and a piece of chalk in my pocket.

    Dominant Eye before any aiming system

    That is a great question actually. Growing up my Dad was an Optician...so I had access to Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, and specialists..... I got glasses and contacts when I was younger...It was only a temporary fix....the lenses in my eyes would move and I would end up with mass headaches...

    Dominant Eye before any aiming system

    Funny thing is.....vison center is the easy part...(at least for me).........The hard part is blurred, doubled and/or distorted edges. Docs say my corneas are at least 20/20......my problem is the vertical astigmatism in one "lens" and the diagonal astigmatism in the other......So in other...

    For the Taom Chalk Users

    Just F'n around in Fusion 360.......came up with the world's first Taom Fidget Spinner......Never leave your chalk behind because you are always fidgeting with it between innings

    Nobody watches pool?

    If you use Chrome....there are extensions you can add....1 is a Youtube Ad Skipper....and it does literally that.....skips all the ads....There is also a Booster which adds some controls.... and a shorts blocker where the shorts play just like a normal instead of all shrunk down. I have not...

    Dominant Eye before any aiming system

    I suspect that for people that are closer to the nose/chin for vision center will have a easier time of switching eye dominance. I am so far left eye dominant there is no way I am able to force my right eye to be the dominant eye......I can even close my left eye make a circle around the target...

    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    I call them sausage fingers.... I have square hand sausage fingers.........The only closed loop bridge I can make (especially anymore) is the OK bridge with the tip of my finger touching the tip of my thumb....I much prefer an open bridge whenever I can.......but use whatever the shot calls...

    Bridge Hand Aiming

    Preface this with.....However you get there....as long as you consistently get there...you are good. That being said......I use a different philosophy when it comes to set up....(and I used this philosophy in Golf) "The club (cue) does not set up to you.....You set up to the club (cue)."...

    What the pros do differently ...

    Not 40-50 years ago...but back in his prime 20 years....Johnny used a open bridge quite often

    What the pros do differently ...

    I am by no means Efren....(Or pro speed for that matter)..and I am only 55...I am more and more using an open bridge The fingers just are not as nimble any more......and who knows Aurther and Mr. Itis may have had a talk with Efren and convinced him to convert.

    Pool items you think of that won’t ever be made

    Here are a couple.... Saw a DIY version of this somewhere...looked like a block of wood with a piece of leather that swiveled.....double decker ball marker......I made a 3D printed version using a 608 bearing....If the ball is partially on the rack template...swivel it open and mark the ball...

    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    Wow....the hostility in this thread.........I did not see anything wrong with the video and it was informative for those not already in the know. My only comment....without all the hostility is that....some.......pool players, Golfers, Tennis players, Gun Shooters, etc etc. are superstitious...

    What the pros do differently ...

    Pretty much exactly what I was eluding to...The "tune" of a pro struck pool shot is different. Most Novice players would probably not even notice something like this...and would say "it sounds like every other pool shot".... The only reason I know this is because Golf is the exact same...

    Bridge Hand Aiming

    I use a track line from center CB to OB.... I air align my cue above the CB with the tip to my aim point as I am dropping down onto the shot.. What this does is uses the CB as an axis point to square my bridge hand and back hand on the track line ..

    Dominant Eye before any aiming system

    Here are some ponderings on vision center and then an experiment.... Is vision center CB to OB or CB to pocket or the entire triangle CB to pocket + CB to OB and OB to pocket..... My thoughts are (if there is an actual vision venter) it would be CB to OB contact point......(but how do you...
