So it plays very stiff with almost no flex and is low deflection? Which is it? Those are polar opposite descriptions. It can't be "low deflection" and "stiff with no flex". Low deflection shafts refer to the cueball deflection, not that the shaft doesn't deflect. The shaft has to move out of the...

Thanks for this!

Wow! Totally amazing! You sound like a photo wizard! Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes! That's the one I'm thinking of. It felt like it was from the 1970s and had that 1970 caricature feel to it! Exactly.

Anybody got a picture of that old poster of the "rules for a pool hustler"? Or something like that? It said something like "if you see 2 guys shaking hands, one of them is a sucker". "Never give a sucker a fair rack". Stuff like that. I googled it and couldn't find it. I would see it in...

You are right. Any bigger than 4.5 is unplayable. 4.125 or 4.250 is good too. But I think 4.375 is good too. 4.5 is absolutely maximum. I rarely play with a ball return. It always feels like a special treat.

I play mostly one pocket. I like a ball return and having a properly cut pocket at about 4.5 inches for me is perfect. Drop pockets or ball return don't really matter that much though. I do like the sound of the balls rolling under the table though. It has a kind of rhythem to it. I don't want...

I always wished I had a list of the players and what tips they used on their cues and if they used low deflection shafts or not. I'd love to know what percentage of pros play with low deflection and if a certain tip stands out as a clear favorite. Anybody ever see a list of such a thing? Thanks.

I found this in a archery web page. It might help. It talks about using tape. Eye dominance is established around the age of 6. Beyond that age, it's set and the only way it's going to change is if you have a significant vision issue develop with the current dominant eye. What you can do is...

I find that being cross- eye dominant I notice a big difference if my head isn't perfectly square with the shot.

My understanding is that pool is using the "vision center" (both eyes open) and not the "dominant eye" like in rifle or archery. I'm not sure if you have seen this before but Dr. Dave has a good video on it. It makes me curious if you would get improvement from any effort trying to switch it. It...

I think the cueman has always had the best cleaner and cue wax. https://www.cuesmith.com/ I think the cue man has always had the best cleaner and wax. Bar none.

It's a common trap to argue about definitions of words. I felt this way about it once too. Then I realized I was viewing it with a narrow perspective. (Not wrong perspective, just not all inclusive). Words are not prescriptive but have "usages". Basically all words are "made up" and usage can...

I 100% agree with the other answers. If you train perfecting your pre-shot routine, and work on natural increase in mental and physical focus you will be much better off. You will have developed the increase in skill and focus for real. Drugs are very easy to become dependent on and you have the...

Nice job putting this all together. I agree with your claim about lower front end mass resulting in less cueball squirt, but I'm sorry but I don't think your totally accurate here in other areas. Sorry to be a sick in the mud. But I care about these topics too and accuracy and truth. You...

Same here. If I do notice them it's the exception. How are people using it? Is there some secret I'm missing? Does it somehow make shooting easier? I always felt the measles ball doesn't draw as easy and follows easier than other balls. I prefer the red circle. But tournaments have been using...

That's cool. It's a skill. Maybe save up some money. Set aside $5 or $10 a week. Then after you have done that for 5 or 6 weeks. Go find someone to play a race to 10 for the whole thing. (Like $50). Then you will develop your nerve of steel for tournaments and other competition. It really only...

So are you just speaking for yourself? Or are you implying gambling is "not smart"? I bet almost every legendary player developed a killer instinct by playing for something. Even just a few bucks makes a difference. The game was named after "pooling" the money together going back 250 years. That...

¡Muchas gracias!
