Thank you all. I really do believe I got some excellent answers.. I am going back to closed bridge for many of my shots. Stevesdl

This was a vid taken before I had the lesson. Don't get me wrong, I gained a good bit of knowledge from the lesson but the bridge thing just ain't working. I do agree I should bring my bridge hand palm down on the table whenever possible. I have no problem shooting high middle or low with a...

Prior to an in house lesson, I was a 2 inning player for 8 ball. Often running the table (8 footer), but just as often, not completing the run but either running as the "opponent" or finishing the game in the 2 inning. My goal was to glean additional tips and refine my 8 ball game (an assuming...

:thumbup: Samsara tip Tested a few different tips including the WB. Samsara without a doubt here. Our forumn sponser, Pooldawg has them.

WOWOWOW !! What a gorgeous pool room and table. A job well done! If you are looking for a personal video cam I have this one and would send you some examples if you want to see an example. I luv it for filming games as well as other things. Again nice table and room. :thumbup...

:( "First, you are assuming that all racks are equal, which is wrong." Well I thought in at least BCA tourneys this was eliminated by the breaker can rack his own rack... I could be so wrong on that too :banghead: Anyway I forgot about that, the incandescent lighting, the dirty balls, the out...

Hi Maniac, In my personal experience, it is almost night and day between the phenolic tip when breaking and a Le Pro tip when breaking. I literally feel the need to stroke faster right after the stroke. The same was similar with the Water Buffalo but maybe not quite as much. I attribute all...

:frown: "Now, unless you are comparing tips with vastly different properties, the stated outcome of the hypothetical experiment is in serious doubt::" Well this statement is a little disappointing but everyone has their own opinion and I can kindly appreciate that. :thumbup: But.... First I...

Why do I think Maniac is talking about my test results post. :):):) Damn..... I wrote and rewrote a pretty long explanation and guess what, my login timed out. The error stated to log back in and then use the back button to return to my original spot. When I did that I lost all of what I...

First - I am no way shape or form employed (or related :) ) to our sponsor. It is just that they have given me such great service EVERY SINGLE TIME I order anything from them that I just want to reciprocate the professionalism and kindness. (Service must be their number 1, 2 and 3 priority :) )...

First, I just had my table re-covered with Simonis 860 about 4 weeks ago. I am estatic with the look, feel, and play. You will not be disappointed one bit. My only regret was I got the green and wished I had gotten the Tournament Blue. Next time! Atlarge has suggested the correct balls. I...

Hi Spiderwebcom Thanks for the input. this is how I am getting my answers that is for sure and I appreicate it. :) Yeah, I first thought and still do a little on subjectivity testing. (I am an engineer for 22 years and a degree in psychology) That is why I said "personal tests" and "personal...

My personal tests results are in. I understand some state its not "necessarily the tip" but the stroke, CB placement and action. I agree a good bit to that but I believed in the past that the tip made some significant difference as well.. My "personal" tests made me still believe that theory...

Thanks for the quick reply I should have mentioned the larger BCA events. I hpe that makes sense. Thanks Steve

I would like to at least try my hand at some Tournaments (8-ball and 9-ball). I have never played in a league. Is it possible to enter tournaments without a rating or have played in a league? Thank you Stevesdl

I ordered two of these samsara tips last week and expecting them in today. In the recent past I replaced a phenolic tip that was on an Elite Break cue with a Le Pro tip. The Elite break cue has a carbon\phenolic ferrule. I have left the ferrule on for now. Was not what I was personally hoping...

Thanks All! Mark I took your advise even though it had been 11 hours after the fact. I used clean filtered water and very lightly treated only the " ^ " mark on the table. I place a standup fan about 6 feet away and allowed to dry. Results: True the area shows cleaner than the rest of the...

I agree with Predator5k4 100%. Sure I have some thoughts about the banning especially since it cost a "few extra dollars" out of my pocket to comply but I want to play BCAPL events. Though I subjectively and personally believe I had a slight advantage added to "my game" using phenolic, (yes it...

Well I never thought it would happen and so soon since anything I have to drink is almost 7 feet away from the pool table but accidents happen. A beer was set on a counter top but had lightly overflowed. No one noticed that and the 8-ball rack ended up sitting in a light beer spill on the...

Some were asking the website I got the hardness density numbers from. Here is the link. I do blieve that sometimes there will be some tips that offer different densities for the same name. (Actually I saw that with one brand) I also mentioned that I thought Mr Porper had done the testing. My...
