Situation: breaking player miscues, the cue ball rolls down to the end rail and back to the middle of the table without ever hitting the rack. According to the WPA rules: So, it's a foul, but I can't find anything in the WPA rules that addresses what happens next. Can the incoming player use...

The announcers commented that SVB was one of the best jumpers with a full length cue while he lined up this shot: Apparently, SVB needed to jump over the edge of the 9-ball in order to hit the green ball. The WPA jump shot rule says: Did SVB's shot qualify as a legal jump shot? Clearly he...

This is in regards to a kick Mike made during the Florida Open, Day 2 Full Session Table 2 @ 5:32:00. If you don't have WNTTV, then I don't know if you can view the shot. My question is what was Mike Delawder measuring that allowed him to get a good hit? Here are some screenshots: Mike...

It seems I am no longer able to delete posts.

Does anyone know what brand of extension Tyler used at the UK Open? It's one of those extensions that fits over the butt, then you screw down a couple of rings. Do they mark up the butt of a cue? Why doesn't he use one of Meucci's screw in extensions? Thanks

I have a Chris Nitti cue, and I would like to replace the tip. I think he uses Wizard S (soft) tips. Does anyone know of a reputable source for Wizard tips? Thanks.

Every so often it seems that a scammer gets ahold of a known account, then uses the account to try to sell an item that they don't own. So how do you verify that a known account is not a scammer?

I'm surprised that I couldn't find this anywhere. What are the cut angles for all the main fractional aiming points: 1/8 = 61 degrees 1/4 = 49 degrees 3/8 = 39 degrees 1/2 = 30 degrees 5/8 = 22 degrees 3/4 = 15 degrees 7/8 = 7 degrees I tried using Dr. Dave's formulas here: fraction = 1...

Nick Varner won the same tournament two years in a row. Two and half decades later, Max Eberle won that same tournament two years in a row. What other azbilliard member won that tournament?

Over Christmas, I was in Colorado Springs, CO for a couple of days, and I was surprised to find a pool room in the downtown (?) area called The Crooked Cue. It's a couple of blocks east of I25 which runs North-South through the city. The bartender said the tables were five months old: 7 x 9'...

Here is a graph of a shot: 1. What does the yellow arrow signify? 2. The Straightness (STR) is described like this: However, when I change the difficulty setting for Straightness, the (inner?) circle does not change size. 3. The tip steer metric in the image is CNTR and the result was...

I just saw this: Has anyone tried that? I assume $32.50 is for 3-day delivery.

Is anybody making custom diameter and length mid cue extensions out of carbon fiber? Thanks.

The description for this jump/break cue says: The diameter of the smooth part is 7mm, and the diameter at the threads is 9.4mm. The pin looks like it could be a Viking quick release, as shown here: https://www.pooldawg.com/article/pooldawg-library/what-s-my-joint-size I bought the cue at...

Hi, There is a Mike Stacey cue that I am interested in buying, but I need to know the diameter of the butt, and the seller/dealer is unable/unwilling to provide that info. So, I would like to contact Mike Stacey and ask him for the specs. If anyone would like to pm me and comment on the...

I was looking at the following recent ad for a Tascarella, which says it has recut points: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/gorgeous-pete-tascarella-custom-cue-with-2-shafts.555348/ It was my understanding that recut points are a technique for creating veneers, which does not leave a...

I have a couple of questions about Side Pocket Aiming: 1. When would the end rail position value of 75 ever come into play? Keep in mind that the author of Poolology has said that Poolology does not work well for 1/8 ball cuts and that Poolology isn't applicable to thinner cuts than 1/8 ball...

This shaft burnisher is made from two pieces of suede leather sewn together with some type of cushy material in between the two pieces of leather. The resulting cushy leather sandwich makes it much easier to burnish your shaft. I also have a shaft burnisher that is a round piece of leather...

Is there a way to tell from the box, which set is which? I'm looking at pictures at Seybert's and the boxes look identical. If anyone has a set of the Tournament TV balls, is there a sticker on the box that indicates that it's the TV set (the set with the pink 4-ball)? Thanks

I put a donut hole sticky on the 60 object ball position line in Zone C. I used a laser to mark the 60 line on the table, so I believe the sticky was exactly on the 60 line (assuming my end points for the 60 line are correct): Over a few days, I lined up many 1/4 ball cuts and 1/2 ball cuts...
