I suspect if you've never heard a pro player talk about eye patterns it's because they've never been asked unless their giving a lesson. How many times have you talked about EP's on league night with your teammates? Probably not often if ever. I became a student of the game in 1974. Back then...

OK, you've done your pre-shot routine and are now bridged down on the cue ball to start your warm up strokes. during these strokes of the cue, what is your sequence of eye movement between the CB, OB and pocket? I personally will usually take 3 to 5 warm up strokes depending on length and...

The cue and case has been sold. Thanks all.

Here is the PB series Palmer sales literature. I always thought they made very pretty cues. http://www.palmercollector.com/PBLine.html I've had this cue close to 40 years and it was my player for many years. I retired the Palmer in 1996 when I bought a Schon, (and now have three of them)...

I have a Palmer PB7 I bought in the early '80's, it comes with three shafts. The butt is 15.70 oz and has a few small dents and scratches in it and has beautiful colors and sharp points. The wrap is in good shape and is not fraying or coming loose in any way. The shafts are as follows; #1...

this isn't my cue but mine looks exactly like this pic.

I have three Mezz WX700's "UJ's" and they fit on my SL6 I bought in 1996 that has the Acme pin.

I cleaned the cue joint faces and the shaft joint faces and inspected them all for any debris or imperfections I could see with the naked eye and could see nothing. I wonder if it's partially due to manufacturing tolerances of the joint face and pin placement, and as one noted earlier, maybe...

I have three Schons, one SL6 I bought new in 1996 and two SL4's both bought in the last 4 years, both in excellent condition. I have a number of shafts, 4 OEM Schons, 4 Mezz WX700's and 4 Predators, (2 cat shafts and 2 pre-cats). If you roll the shafts alone, most roll very straight a few may...

I'm looking to take some pro level lessons and thought I heard Dave Matlock is sometimes in the KCMO area. Anyone know how I could connect with him? Thanks.

I learned and generally speaking, still use the ghost ball method of finding a target point on an object ball. The works relatively well especially on shorter shots. When the shots are longer, I tend to have trouble hitting the target point on the ball. My reasoning is, how can you identify an...

I've never cared much for a harder tip as I tend to miscue with them especially when using more extreme english, (which I try to avoid). I have not changed the way I play but the softer tips, giving a softer hit seems to help my confidence in general and I trust them more when using english...

I've been using Kamui black clear super softs for a number of years now and have always like them. They have been consistent from batch to batch. I recently had three shafts re-tipped with the super softs and each one of them is noticeably harder than the tips on my old shafts. The Kamui's are...

I've used water to remove dents from the cue shaft for years but if the dent is too deep to swell it out with water, then what?

I have an old Palmer PB7 I bought new in the early eighties, it was my player for years and the finish shows it. There are a couple of fairly deep dents on the inlay points on the forearm. The dents cross over all the different colors on the points. How does a repairman fix/lift these dents...

Some time back I bought a spare shaft that the previous owner installed a Kamui tan on it but did not remember the hardness. I really like the way it played so I took a chance and installed a tan/clear soft on a spare shaft, it hit well but a bit harder than I liked. Most of the data I've...

I've been using Kamui black/clear super softs for a number of years and like them and am considering trying the Kamui tans. If you have personal experience with using Kamui tans and blacks, (I don't care if they had the clear pad on them or not), I'd like to know your thoughts. I want to know if...

I started serious drinking when I was 17, drank for 24 years and it caused me a lot of problems. Although I gave it little thought, I suspect I felt I played better on the sauce but little did I know that wasn't the case. I recently celebrated my 25th year sober on 12-26-22. It took some time to...

Has anyone experimented using any of the Kamui tips with and w/o the clear pad? For example, using a super soft black clear, (with the clear pad), and a super soft black w/o the pad? Or it could be a super soft tan with and w/o the pad? I know the pad is used primarily so the glue doesn't...
