I posted this in the Instructor forum, but I thought about it, and it really is a regular people challenge, so here goes: When younger, I had something like 20/12 vision. That was one of the main reasons I enjoyed pool – I could see the thinnest cuts, even at the length of the table. Now, at...

When younger, I had something like 20/12 vision. That was one of the main reasons I enjoyed pool – I could see the thinnest cuts, even at the length of the table. Now, at 66, I wear reading glasses for up close work. I can see the cue tip and cue ball fine with those readers (larger than...

Thanks to all - Superpro aramith value pak it will be. sam

Hi. I recently bought an old Gandy 4.5 x 9. I recovered it with Velocity Pro cloth, and have been playing on it with very old, no-name balls. I had to soak them in bleach to get some of the stains out. I want to replace them, and would appreciate any views on which balls to buy, how much I...

I played years ago at a respectable level. I know that my stroke is not perfect, but it about 90% where it should be. I guess I will try a softer tip (I don't know what is on there at present) and go from there. Thanks to all who answered - I've been out of touch for some time, and just got...

Anybody? It's a meucci with a black dot shaft, and I believe the taper is about 12 to 12.5 mm. thanks. sam

Greetings, Sam here. I have a meucci cue with black dot shaft. It appears to be thinner than 13 mm (probably 12 or 12.5). Anyway, I have a heck of a time getting draw on the cueball from anything further than 2 feet from the object ball. I am frustrating myself with miscues from trying too...
