    Jumping vs. Kicking.

    I think in this example, the jump is the much higher chance of getting out. The 5 is sitting very good for the pocket, the 5 is not close to a rail, the blocker is sitting at a very good place ( not too close or too far). I personally favor kicking ball than jumping them. I have a jump cue...

    The Celtic Prince photos?

    Sorry, I do not have any pics. I remmebr seeing that cue back in a billiards digest mag. Maybe you can find it on the BD website? It is worth checking out! I believe it had like 1200 or 1400 inlays of ivory into ebony. It was one celtic knot forming the points above and below the wrap area...

    Fit and Finish.

    I do find it interesting that they have a sealed closure AND a breathable case material. Again it seems the focus is on preventing drastic sudden changes in temp/humidity rather than eliminating any and all enviromental intrusions. Breathable would mean that it does allow some enviromental...

    Fit and Finish.

    I agree with most of what you are saying here. I do believe that guitars are more affected by climate changes. I have had much more evidence of changes to my guitars than cues. There are metal parts that show corrosion. The finish tends to crack and lift, etc. Older guitars have nitro cellulose...

    Fit and Finish.

    Well now that sounds like a generous offer! I would love to take you up on it. Give me a bit of time to come up with a suitable testing enviroment and method. Give me your thoughts and suggestions. I can measure the level of moisture in wood, and can also measure the rate of absorption by...

    JB, Let me say I am not picking sides on this topic. I am not for or against you or your case design. I am just puttin in my two cents. I really like your passion for what you do. I know it rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but I get it and appreciate it. I am interested in where the data...

    Fit and Finish.

    Sorry, so long.... but I would like to comment on this statement. I think there is certainly something to it. I am not certain as to how it applies specifically to cues in a case, but I would like to share something on this topic. I work as a certified water damage restoration technician...

    Fit and Finish.

    I will agree with the cue as being more important to how it will stand up under certain conditions. I live in South FL. I once left my cue case in my trunk. I had a soft sided silver fox case at the time. I had a couple of Jacoby cues in the case along with my girlfriends cheaper cue ( I can't...

    Played Scott Lee yesterday

    Very true!! You know, I spent aprox 8 hours with Scott lee. I do not think he pocketed one single ball! He must be a terrible player:rolleyes: I even have PROOF, because I got it all on dvd! ( Scott , don't try to deny it!:grin:) If you watch the dvd, you may miss it due to the fact that there...

    A question on pool etiquette !

    Well, I COMPLETELY understand how the op felt in this situation. I currently play in 2 apa leagues as a 7. You have to keep it in perspective. You prob over reacted a bit too. I mean you just had the match in hand and made a match losing error. So, at the same moment that sinks in you hear...

    Driving Me Bonkers

    Ok, I will take Jasmin Ouchan against you for as much as you want. You should beat her on genetics alone! :grin: I think you giving up 3 to 1 on the money is stealing! Let me know when you want to set it up:eek: Some of your points on evolution I would agree with, but to make a blanket...

    Mastering Pool w/Mika Immonen

    I can appreciate an honest response like this. I will say that I just checked out your website and it looks very good! Even though I see most of it as a review, I still think it would be worthwhile for me. I am also helping a very new player learn the game right now, so I could use some...

    My "NEW" Jacoby

    Yeah, it looks like a uni loc, but it isn't! A uni loc will not fit it. I think it is an acu loc joint. Too bad I sold this one. That was the main reason I sold it, because I wanted some aftermarket shafts and none would fit it off the shelf. I did not want to go through the trouble of having...

    My "NEW" Jacoby

    I thought some of you may appreciate this one. A really nice 10 pointer with spear tips. I had Searing put a nice leather wrap on it.

    Mastering Pool w/Mika Immonen

    Hold on a sec! Now just who the heck you think you are for posting a review? Some people really frown on that around here!:rolleyes: I need to see your permit for sharing a personal opinion on a public forum. I also need a professionally done recording of you playing so I can see if you...

    not sure on names of woods so describing what i am wanting to get them...

    WOW! That came off as extremely rude! If you are too good to be bothered with something so trivial, why post a response at all? I don't recall the op looking for anything from you in paticular, and am pretty sure that you have made certain that it will stay that way!:thumbup: I know you are...
