That’s just a Tuesday in Florida.

My flippant first response notwithstanding, advice I would give my beginner self (in spite of how long I’ve been playing I am still not really beyond an advanced beginner, maybe barely an intermediate) is to solidify fundamentals as a foundation. Then, once it’s pretty strong, quit thinking...

I often laugh, even sometimes at myself, when someone misses badly, gets perfect shape on the next shot and points saying “I missed but got perfect shape.” Most often, unless the shot was a rattle near-miss, if the OB went in, the CB probably wouldn’t have ended up perfect for the next shot cuz...

Wow, you always come through, Chopdoc! Thanks! Any guess as to its value current condition and also restored?

Try baseball, cards, bike riding, anything but pool or golf.

Knowing that I have a few Adam cues, a youngster at the pool hall asked me about an Adam he has. It's rough, and needs some TLC. He put tape on the unraveling wrap. He is wondering how much it might be worth. Can anyone tell me: - Is this truly a very early Adam? (I am dubious on his...

I’m pretty short (and no longer young). I do not get a lot of cue speed. It seemed the harder I tried to add speed to my break, the slower it went and accuracy was terrible. I tried a heavy break cue and went up 1.5 MPH without adding any effort. Heavy works for me.

Physics, shmysics.😝 Ya just gotta learn from empirical observation. Not the why something occurs, only that it occurs. Perhaps the why might allow someone with a science background to learn more quickly. Perhaps not. (This coming from a math degreed college grad.)

That, Hu, is perfectly expressed!

If you get an inexpensive slate table with a 3-piece slate it is quite easy to move disassembled. I have moved my 9-ft many times. Slate pieces weigh about 200 lbs, moveable by two people. Many pool tables are easy to disassemble and reassemble. The tricky parts are leveling the slates...

I have one very similar, what I believe is AS-1 that someone gave me. It has a plastic joint so the balance point is about 1.75” farther back than it would be with a metal joint like yours. I have another similar Adam with a metal joint and its balance point is 1.75” forward, likely where...

So lemme get this straight. You asked whether the tip is an Elkmaster, NEVER HAVING REVEALED THAT YOU ORDERED AS AN OPTION AN ELKMASTER TIP. Then, when people try to help and respond that Cuetec standard tip is Sniper, you reposted your question, this time with an attitude using ALL CAPS...

Apparently, Dove Chocolates knows about pool. But keep your eye on the shot clock. 😁

I have to admit same. I answered only a handful then exited out.

I have a local cue maker. I can get another CF shaft (already have one I really like) but this was more of a curiosity for me then an actual need. Hence, the hypothetical nature of my inquiry.

I understand that the primary factor in making a cue shaft LD is low mass at the front of the cue. This can be achieved via multiple factors: thin diameter; hollow core near the tip; very short ferrules. So, hypothetically, can an already relatively thin diameter wooden shaft which does...

What skill level(s) of your participants do you need? Does it matter whether one is FR 400, 500, 600, 700, lower or greater? I would imagine vastly different responses from varying levels of pool proficiency.

Why do so many depictions of pool have such obvious rule violations? I mean, they could have conveyed the hustling with accurate pool playing. Likely because most people would never recognize the errors. Just like nearly all movies. Sigh.

When I first started playing pool this is how I aimed. I don't know when I changed over to ghost ball but the methods are pretty similar. If I am not confident about a shot, I sometimes (but rarely) use the imaginary rail as a confirmation that my GB position is correct.
