    New player -- cross eye dominant

    I have a brand new player on my team that we figured out is 100% cross eye dominant. She is right handed, bridging with her left hand (normal). However when she aims she is crossing her head over her pool stick and then tilting her head back and twisting it to naturally get her dominant eye over...

    I got my cuesmith lathe in February and started doing repairs on cues. My friend has a shaft that he wanted retapped to radial. So I drilled / bored it out, installed a phenolic plug that I got from Unique (followed their directions for install). That went perfect and got a real nice fit with...

    Chicken Wing Help

    Another how would you shoot it thread

    I was practicing with a friend last night and the following shot came up in 8ball. Neither of us could consistently make this shot, we were about 20% making it. Both of us initially used opposite English than the other. So we debated a little bit and experimented with both right and left spin...

    Thinking about Diamond (7ft vs 8ft)
