    Dispelling the myth: Magic Chalk

    You and I have a lot in common when talking about cue specs. Almost identical. For chalk though, we don't. BD is not even close to taom in cleanliness....not even close. If I'm willing to spend just north of 9k for my table and accessories and a few more thousand for pool cues, I don't think...

    Dispelling the myth: Magic Chalk

    Everything ^^^^^^^^^ said is true at my house except the opponent not using it. If the table belongs to me, the chalk that is used on it will be a chalk approved by me or they don't play. No exceptions... Jeff

    is the schmidt record legit or not

    Do you expect this thread to be any different than the one you got tired of reading? I don't see how it could be. Jeff

    Dispelling the myth: Magic Chalk

    Hey Jeff, Taom is the cleanest chalk I have ever used. It will last a veeerrryyy looonnngggg time. It leaves absolutely no visible chalk on my measles cb, cyclop cb, red circle cb or 860hr tournament blue cloth. Even if you chalk every shot. BTW, taom chalk works good on hard tips, but it...

    Practice Shaft vs Play Shaft

    I can play my normal speed with any cue after a rack or two with it. Having said that, I've witnessed several pros just grab a cue from a stranger and play very well after just one or two balls. IMO, after you reach a certain level you should be able to adapt to any cue just like you should be...

    Where's Glen Hancock (Therealkingcobra)?!?

    Same here. I'm still in shock that Glenn has not confronted all of this. It would be very hard to believe that he has not read this thread. As for his work, IMO it has always spoke for itself. As everyone knows, Glenn is extremely talented. In the end, just like a backer, we always want the...

    Don't bother trying to educate BB. It's a lost cause.

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    I'm completely dumbfounded by the sheer number of people that belong to a pool/billiards site that seem to have no idea how: Frequently polished balls will separate like a hot knife through butter compared to a rack of balls that haven't been cleaned but once before the opening break shot. The...

    Where's Glen Hancock (Therealkingcobra)?!?

    I'm really surprised to say the least....a bit confused as well. Ok, I'm starting to wonder why Glenn hasn't posted to let us (all of his customers and friends alike) know what's going on. Things happen and we've all been in a tight spot but, unless Glenn is physically unable to post or at the...

    Lomax or Hanshew Jumper

    Depends on what type jump cue you like. Jump cues, break cues and even bridges are just as complex as a playing cue. If you know what spec's you like, well there you go. If you don't know what spec's you like, it won't matter anyways. For me? I like a very, very dense and heavy (6oz to 8oz)...

    You OBVIOUSLY know very little about 14.1 and even less about what it takes to put up big numbers and even less than that about what stops those runs.

    Do You Have an Internal Monologue?

    Why put us last Lou? You should know by now that anything you need to know can be found on AZB... J/K... I use to read a great deal as well but, since retiring, like most, it seems I have less and less "free time". I remember when I was younger, I heard older gents say "I had to come out of...

    If the balls weren't taken off the table to be cleaned in a machine. If there was a heater under the table...IMO, it's no good. It would also depend on "if" ....and "how" and ..."who" edited the video, if in fact it was edited. I've been told by one person that it was edited for bathroom...

    Video Set Up- Need some help

    I think I may have a vid of my high run laying around somewhere. I'll have to dig it up and post it. Only thing, it's not been edited eventhough it looks like it's been edited simply because ever so often it looks like the sun is out and then it's night out. The window by the table is messed...

    Where's Glen Hancock (Therealkingcobra)?!?

    I've only known Glenn since joining AZB in 2016. However, I've met lots and lots of people that praised his work and as you said, his knowledge to do things that most can't. As for him being, as you put it, an a55....well, most extremely talented people are that way to a point. I think it kinda...

    Oh, ok....we're on the very same page. 1000%. When I first learned of John's 626, I defended his stance at every turn. I even argued with some about how it didn't matter that John had the balls cleaned. In my defense, I was told that his cleaning the balls was just wiping them off with a towel...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    I know the above was not directed at me but, I know several experienced 14.1 players that run 12 to14 balls and then shoot nut-up safes. They are very respectable opponents in 14.1 but aren't able to run big numbers in practice but, like I said, they can grind in 14.1 with most all but the very...
