You are again missing the point. Maybe I have incorrectly estimated the count for how often it has been, but however often this has been, has been too often for many people so my friendly suggestion would be to slow it down. I know this because this amount of often was too often for many...

Whatever the reason for so many of the "tell me all about this cue that is for sale" requests so close together, doing that is like making the forum you own personal assistant, and that wears on people, and even more so with your previous years of history of doing it here in the past. I've...

Justin, people around here are more than glad to assist others with knowledge, and there is lots to be learned around here. But when you ask for advice on every single cue you see for sale somewhere, so you can see if it might be a good enough deal that you can flip it and squeeze ten bucks out...

Lots of people have tried to do this, both with threads, and with websites and apps. It has proved difficult for all the obvious reasons. How should you define "pool hall"? It is hard to find all pool halls, even with Google searches and with other people's input. Even for the ones you do...

Same thing here again it seems. I think my wording of "if the compensation changes (which I thought everyone knows happens when a backhand english user changes bridge length) then the amount of squirt you end up getting" comes with the automatic implication of "in relation to/deviation from the...

I think you covered it pretty well in your post below, and as you stated the reasons are compelling. Compelling enough that I am not personally seeing why you are still in favor of all miscues being fouls, although I certainly understand still having a bad taste in your mouth about the way...

On the flip side, there is an argument to be made that a more efficient shaft in effect magnifies your speed control errors, and a less efficient shaft in effect reduces your speed control errors. I'm making no argument as to which of the differing inherent benefits/drawbacks between higher and...

Correct, if the compensation changes (which I thought everyone knows happens when a backhand english user changes bridge length) then the amount of squirt you end up getting changes as well, and that was the way I intended it to be read, but in hindsight I can see how others could read it...

I think the "this new bridge length would in turn change the amount of cue ball squirt you would be getting" wording is technically correct because "getting" is an "on net" thing. I just didn't specify what the on net factors were since I thought it was obvious. Had I said "would in turn...

Additional weight in about the first 6-8 inches or so of the shaft will increase the amount of cue ball squirt, and less weight in that first 6-8 inches of shaft will decrease the cue ball squirt. The closer the weight is to the tip (within that 6-8 inches), the more it will affect things...

It could be that the only reason that they have now gotten back to you now, after 5 weeks of multiple phone calls and texts, is because of this thread and wanting to do damage control, and that had it not been for the thread you may never have heard back or gotten a reasonable resolution. We'll...

Because knowledge and physical ability are two different things, and coaches are only valuable for the knowledge they can pass on (and the motivation they can give, etc). Their physical abilities are mostly immaterial if they have the knowledge, and the knowledge is almost always, if not...

You are playing on a table that you know has a camera and is streaming, and you are well aware that various people can and do watch the stream remotely. Spectators are always free to bet amongst each other on any matches they want to, with no obligation whatsoever to include or notify the...

From this particular angle, where you can hit the pocket point with about a quarter of the cue ball as he does here (very little risk of scratching, and you have maximum leeway on your speed control since you are playing to hit the point), and where the 8 still stays pretty close to the rail (so...

I can't even make a single ball on a 4.75mm pocket table so you you might be doing pretty well! ;)

For most companies including Amazon, a big portion of returns, especially if they can tell it was opened or used (and for some companies it is always what they do if they can tell it was opened), are resold at a loss as being used items, because they are now just that, used. Sometimes they will...

Maybe it is just me, but a thread where a member is offering a product for sale (even though that wasn't apparently the intent when the thread was initially started), especially a longstanding and good contributing member, does not seem to be the appropriate place to be bad mouthing their...

It's always the player's right to take half, but in all the calcuttas I've been to, and that is a whole bunch of them in many cities and states, I can't recall the auctioneer immediately asking the player if they want their half each time each and every time they get sold during the auction. It...

Lots of people have used a flat faced shaft on a piloted butt and I've never heard of anybody having any problems with it, or anybody who could feel any difference (though I'm sure there are some who are going to claim they can).

Those prices seem a little low to me just based on gut. Seems like a lot of effort on your end for those prices. I would also think that everybody who is going to buy them at those prices would just as easily buy them at say $10 and $20 plus $2 shipping anyway. Seems like a pretty cheap...
