I pivot in the air to apply english and like marks on my shaft in several places to know that I am pivoting in the right relative spot. On a wooden shaft I can draw a ring with a sharpie. How can I mark my revo and not damage the shaft?

I play at a tournament in a room where at least one table is regularly sprayed with chalk-off. The table is a Brunswick Anniversary with the original rubber. I play fine on the tables that don't have the chalk-off on them but when on the 'clean' tables I have serious trouble controlling the...

I know an installer who has some of these for like 45$ a tip installed and I am wondering if anyone has tried them? He says someone he knows claims they brought their game up 2 balls but I am skeptical. He only has the mediums right now. EDIT: I suppose these are called athlete tips and are...

z3 29" Uniloc needs to be straight 11.75mm

When playing on some diamond bar boxes I have speed control issues but others I do not. The ones with the 860 I am fine. The ones with the 3030 I constantly overrun positions. When on a 9 footer (brunswick or diamond) or 860 diamond bb I use a thinner predator victory medium (medium-hard)...

I have a unilock QR that is stuck. I cant get it undone. I have nobody here to help either. How do i unstick it? Do i have to put it in the car assembled and get someone at the pool hall to help me?

I witnessed this happen this week at a weekly 9-ball tournament. So I'm sitting at a table playing my match and another players girlfriend is sitting at the table watching her boyfriend play a race to 3 9-ball match. The whole match he was going off about how 9-ball is a luck game and his...

So I played in a bar box 9-ball tournament tonight and there was a player who would leave a gap (I dont know if it was on purpose) behind the 9-ball every rack and hit the balls really hard and the 9 would end up in front of a corner pocket. Of course the 9 on the break didnt count. I would...

I had a custom made table installed about 8 months ago. It is a 92' table with k-55 superspeed cushions. The table was made by a local company and I dont want to say their name. I don't want to deal with them at all anymore because they originally provided a warped slate and I was treated...

I had a custom made table installed about 8 months ago. It is a 92' table with k-55 superspeed cushions. Anyways the problem is it plays very short and the rails are very fast. I dont play near as good as I used to on the old table (which had beat up cushions) I had that didn't play as short...

Looking for 11.8 Uniloc Revo w/ WVP in good condition.

I have to say I think yes... Lol. This world record stuff is a joke with concocted conditions. Its like lets try to set the record for the lowest round in golf by making the easiest golf course ever....

I have a 100 year old 6 let Brunswick Regent with Simonis 860 that is relatively new. If you do the standard speed test shot it goes 6.5 table lengths with a firm (not even close to as hard as possible, as this would launch the ball off the table) stroke. Also, if you kick the cueball hard...

I am having a 8.5' table built. The corner pockets will have somewhere between 1.75" and 2.0" shelf (I have no control over this). I want 4.25" corner pockets. The question is should I have them cut to 141 or 140 degrees? I want them to play like a Pro-Cut Diamond in terms of what speeds...

BACKGROUND: I currently have a 8.5 foot Gandy that is shimmed down from 5.0" corner pockets to 4.25" corner pockets using hard rubber shims, not rail extentions. It has a 0.5" difference between the front and the back of the pockets and a 0.75" shelf.. The side pockets are shimmed from like...

I have a serious problem with undercutting shots. I am cross eye dominant (right handed, left dominant eye). When I see the shot line it is impossible for me to get the cue on it with orthodoxy and if I aim with orthodoxy what looks like correct aim seems to be probably like 20-25% of the time...

For those of you interested in CTE this is a simple CTE based system I learned from a PBIA instructor (and that I only sometimes use for bank shots, and never for normal shots). To use this system you need to be able to make contact with an object ball where you want, it will not tell you how...

This is a picture (probably taken in the late 1960s) I have of my uncle, Jeff Vallen, playing an (looks like straight pool) exhibition against Jimmy Moore. My uncle was a professional, 250 ball runner, from Miami, Florida. He also lived in Key West, Florida and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He...

I am a night owl and have wondered for a while why I play so much better after being awake 8-10 hours vs after just waking up (most of the time at least). We are talking a big difference here like C level or worse at wake up time vs B+/A- level after being awake 8-10 hours. This is so...

I recently figured out that if I aim center ball hits with what looks like 1/2 a tip to the right of center a LOT more of my more difficult center ball shots seem to go in. I think the problem isn't with my vision center because I can close one eye and it looks like I am lined up off center...
