Anyone got a simple looking, cheap, wood pin cue they're looking to sell?

Seems ridiculous to ask, but you don't still have this do you?

Is anyone trying to get rid of a meucci power piston accelerator with a meucci pro shaft?

Nope. My cue isn't angeled over the shot line like that, it's off to one side of wherever I'm adding english to.

It's only wrong in the sense that it's not perfectly parallel, it's parallel with a slight adjustment for deflection. But as your way has the cue angled, crossing over the original no-spin aiming line mine is "parallel-ish" to it but completely over to one side of it.

I'm trying to find a better representation of the two side by side, I'll have to do it myself. But this is the difference in the two methods we're discussing.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, does your cue look like the first or third picture when spinning a shot?

Does your cue look like picture 1 or 3 when you're applying English?

I can't seem to find any true inepth explanation or videos on parallel english. All I ever find is people saying it only works at slow speeds and close shot distance as you did in your article. " For example, with a short distance between the CB and OB and/or with a firm shot, BHE (with an...

I feel the same about the swoop, seems extremely simple, but in practice things move too quickly to hit the exact spot you're intending every time.. I'm gonna look him up to see his style.

Yes, that's also how I shoot, the "auto adjustment" happens for the cueing angle while standing.

It's been around forever, it just means that the person aims like they're shooting with no English, then on their final strike they kinda swoop into the English.

It works on all shots of any speed. You might have not been adjusting for deflection enough. Where as you adjust for deflection with your method by "guessing" at the correct angle of your cue for that specific tip position, I adjust for deflection with parallel english by "guessing" at the...

Yes, that's how I spin, offset and parallel. I feel like your style is a bit more natural and mine is a bit more analytical. I think that intuitive style might keep me more in the moment and flow and help my cue ball but it's complete different from how I shoot now. I have noticed it's made me...

Yea, that's where I'm at, just messing around with different methods to see if something works better in specific situations. What method do you use?

Makes sense. Parallel-ish. When you spin the cueball is your whole cue stick to one side of the no spin shot line, or are the tip and butt diagonally crossing the shot line?

I'm a parallel english guy. I get down on the shot, parallel to the shot line, with an already adjusted aim for deflection and throw and shoot straight. It does require a small amount of thinking so it's not exactly automatic and was wondering if jermey Jones style of automatic adjusting would...
