Check out these extensions and plug-n-play extension adapters from TactIQ available at Seybert’s. They replace weight bolts and accept extensions. The TactIQ extensions are CF and very light. I tried a Schon for my Helmstetter (which will also fit my Adam and Orchid cues, but the butt cap...

one thing that impressed me was how quickly he saw the pattern and got down, prestroke, shoot. OB split the pocket, CB landed on the perfect side of the next ball. Repeat. Effortless. Little externally visible anguish at all over any shot. Truly confident and relaxed. At least that’s how it...

I am right-handed so right foot is stern/starboard and left foot is bow/port. I better be careful shooting the 3 and the 6 because I could never get “red right returning” straight. 😆

@WobblyStroke and @bbb : With my pea brain and its inability to remember anything, I wouldn’t be surprised if we have previously discussed this. If so, chalk it up to the crazy old guy who can’t remember $h1+. If not, well, then, hallelujah, I have made another discovery on my long journey to...

I have been putting my game back together after having f-ed it up royally (let's just call the "f" "fiddle"). Those of you who have helped me and been DMing with me know of what I speak. I have tried to return to my previously found perfect alignment - for me - and have mostly succeeded. I...

Again……. The pink table is OUTSIDE the main hall. It is for spectators or anyone else to put their marker for next up and to screw around. ALL 28 competition tables and the half-dozen or so practice tables inside the main hall are grey.

Yup. The table outside the main room is pink. The tournament tables are grey. But that photo of the pink cloth sure got us talking about the Open, dinnit?😝

I will arrive Tuesday targeting 11am and will probably stay until late afternoon. I hope to see you there again this year.

Correct. After the 12, the CB hit the upper long rail then the left short rail, then came mostly straight up the table, above the 2 between the 2 and the upper long rail, while I expected it to come below the 2, between the 2 and the lower long rail (from the diagram's perspective.) After...

Yeah, I just set it up and hit it a bunch of times. I think I am remembering it wrong. In experimentation just now, I am pretty sure the CB was much closer to the top long rail, much less of a cut than I diagrammed. I tried hitting it a bunch of different ways. The only time I got the...

I had this shot on the 12. I used running English, about 10:30 on the CB, about 1 tip. I was trying to go around the 2 ball three rails, coming into the shot line for the 8 in the upper right corner. I am pretty sure I hit the CB close to my intended spot, medium speed. But instead of going...

Took the sportscar out for a drive this morning to raise my spirits after getting owned in league last night in 8, after playing great and winning in 9. Eight-ball is my Kryptonite when playing stronger players. I fall apart and lose spectacularly.

OMG! You just gave a name to MY condition!!! Now I can blame that when I do stupid $h!+ at the pool hall in competition! I can’t thank you enough!! 🤣

Um, if they are doing idiotic things wouldn’t that actually be succeeding at them?

Disclaimer: not an instructor!! Been there, done that (more times than I care to admit). Were you missing on both sides, or just to one side? This could point to the root cause if it’s mostly to one side. And yes, when trying to correct an issue, your game has every likelihood of...

This story made the Orlando Sentinel's newspaper today. Perhaps it's gaining traction for visibility and can influence promotion of the game. Let's hope so.

Thanks for that. I had correspondence with Cuefits. They couldn’t confirm any of their pieces would work even though I provided detailed measurements of each of my cue butt configurations. Seybert’s has been more accommodating in exchanging emails with me concerning specs so I’m waiting for...

Yup. I hope to be able to order just the weight bolts that accept extensions without having to also order the actual extension(s). I will monitor Seybert’s site to see if that becomes an ordering option.

I have an Adam, an Orchid, and a Helmstetter that use those 3/8”x16 weight bolts. I have been in conversation with Seybert’s. More to come soon. I had been looking for this kind of product. Thanks @Shooter1 for the heads up.
