    My TAOM V10 Blue chalk goes to 11..

    I've been using the green version of this chalk for years, have no reason to change, I've read quite a few reviews of people who have used the blue version and say it's different, the most common comment I've seen is that it feels creamier than the green and leaves marks on the cueball, TAOM...

    Why is the APA so frowned upon?

    I wish, the only league we have is an amusement company league, here is the scoring, each ball counts as 1 point and 3 for the 8, a break and run and you win 10 to 0, 8 on the break is 10 to 0 win, there is a run back rule, you have to worry about scoring points, I definitely play different...

    Why is the APA so frowned upon?

    I played in the APA for a few years when I was just learning, it was great then what I didn't notice is the team always had to change a couple of players, after a while I learned it was because of skill levels, as you go up in skill level it's YOUR job to find new players with low skill levels...

    Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

    I don't want 5" pockets either 4 & 1/4" for Pro's and 4&1/2" for amateur tournaments for games like 8 ball, 9 ball, 10 ball , for games like 1 pocket, 14.1, and specialized games that aren't TV friendly anyways make them smaller if you want, if the sport is to grow people who are just learning...

    Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

    It makes for less aggressive play, if you like safety play small pockets are great, I like when the player has to decide between a shot or a safety, when a player at least has a chance to try a "hero" shot, it's more exciting, the game has turned into chess with balls on a table, you might...

    Had to spawn another shaft

    You are experiencing the best thing about a CF shaft compared to most wood shafts, and that is the energy from YOUR stroke transferred more efficiently, there are some wood shafts that do a great job but CF shafts do it more reliably, Becue shafts are designed specifically to transfer energy...

    Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?

    I just got a round of the Blue TAOM V10 chalk, I want to use it for a couple weeks before a review, is it the same as the green? Not sure yet...

    Benefits of Bridging at the EFFECTIVE PIVOT LENGTH of a Shaft

    I thank you Dr Dave for all your hard work and help you have given me and to the sport, like with any Dr., the patient must be willing to take the medicine and then diligently do the rehab, the beauty of this game is, so far, perfection has been unattainable, every day you truly work at it the...

    Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?

    You are correct, the difference is cleaner hands, cleaner table, I am getting about 1 1/2 years out of 1 round of TAOM V10 chalk and I practice at LEAST an hour a day and usually more so I figured it is costing me about 25 cents a week, a great value to me.

    Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?

    I've been using Dr V's magnetic chalk holder for years, He is more than a stand up guy, I ordered the wrong chalk holder, the magnetic is the same, and is ridiculously strong, but there are different chalk holders, long story short, he stopped the day before Thanksgiving to send me the proper...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    In my experience shaft size does not as much difference with a CF shaft compared to a wood shaft, I own 11.8, 12.0 and 12.4 CF shafts, I use Becue cues and their shafts are designed for different hits, my 11.8 and 12.4 play like a CF shaft, my 12.0 is designed to play more like a wooden shaft...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    Whenever I tried a new tip I always played with it for 2 months whether I liked it or not, sometimes the switch was great at first but changed hardness right away, wore quickly, or "new tip" nirvana was gone, I've been using Bulletproof Recoil tips for almost 2 years now and have no plans to...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    There was a thread about trying new tips, one of the posters said he had been using the same tip for 40 years, what tip would you recommend for him? I would say the same one he's been using for 40 years, I would say the same thing for all equipment, if you love what you are using there is no...
