    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    I know Bob is a very competent player, I'm not so sure about others from the slide rule set. My point is that when it comes to pool, we shouldn't all automatically kowtow to the tyranny of science because pool ain't all about the science. To paraphrase Paul Feyerabend: science is incomplete...

    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    Many, many years ago, I won a big tournament. A few weeks later my tip, which had gotten pretty thin, popped off and I replaced it. I hadn't really paid much attention to its curvature but when it came off I took a close look at it and was surprised at its shape. It wasn't nickel and it...

    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    I think anyone who has played a bit knows the shape of your tip makes a significant difference. What I have learned in my time on pool tables is that it's never a case of exactly a dime v exactly a nickel. Most often, tips take on slightly more complex shapes than the simple radius of a coin...

    Break Cue Tips

    So, for crazy reasons (unbelievably, got myself into an upcoming bank pool tournament) I'm in the market for a break cue tip. Originally I was thinking phenolic. Then a buddy suggested the Samsara water buffalo tips. Then, when I went on line, I'm seeing these clear gummy bear looking things...

    For the Taom Chalk Users

    lol, with Taom I had to change my hand motion with how I lay the chalk down on the rail so it wouldn't roll away. Lou Figueroa took me a couple of times to figure it out

    For the Taom Chalk Users

    Same. I was a non-believer until a buddy gave me a piece to try. It lasts forever, does not leave chalk all over your hand and table, AND for me I feel like I can hit the ball slower, like draw, without a miscue. Lou Figueroa

    How to Play One Pocket – with the Semi-Official Rules

    I really don't know why there should be any surprises -- I speak my mind, try to adhere to the truth, and be accurate in what I say. I have told you (more than once) you often misread my intent or attribute an inaccurate meaning to my words. That's it, no surprise. Lou Figueroa

    OK lets start some trouble LOL (Diamond System)

    In "McGoorty" there is this tale about Hoppe, his book, and diamond systems: "In Hoppe's book on how to play billiards is a long section on the diamond system, charts showing how to count the spots on the rails and figure out where to aim by using arithmetic. Now that is a joke, because he was...
