    Advantages or Disadvantages does it make a difference Stepping into the shot vs. stepping back from the shot?

    I understand where you are coming from on this. This would be something I could definitely use. When practicing, go down on the shot if everything is comfortable, you are lined up, need no adjustment, pocket the ball and stand up then see where you are positioned etc. I know i over analyze...

    Advantages or Disadvantages does it make a difference Stepping into the shot vs. stepping back from the shot?

    Advantages or Disadvantages does it make a difference Stepping into the shot vs. stepping back from the shot?

    What type of radial pin?

    Yep looks like 3/8 - 7.5 or 8 so you should be good to go. I have a older Omega Billiards cue it had a 3/8 x 9 a regular radial shaft would only go down about 2/3 way. I think Mezz uses a 3/8 - 9 pin and they call it a Wavy pin. I just recently changed the pin out to Atlas Radial so i could use...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I agree that customs will be on the decline. In the past, custom cues were top of the line and production cues were more looked down on. Even when guys like Bob Meucci and Dan Janes were producing cues in massive numbers they still came from a custom background. Meucci and Joss was doing...
