No wonder I've never figured this game out. For some reason I thought the shaft was the skinny part with the screw sticking out of it. Since the butt is supposed to have the screw, I've been holding the cue backwards. Can someone lead me to a source for 30mm tips. BTW I prefer Hard

IMO Durhams and BeesWax are only an easy ways to attend to the seams. Durhams tends to break up and Beeswax moves no matter the temps. They both work great, short term. They both have problems long term. Super glue and bondo if needed is my choice. I'm not a mechanic. Just noticed things...

Few years ago I needed to replace a tip. I didn't have in stock what I was using and happy with, but found some Kamui tip in my inventory, so went with what I had. Apparently I wasn't paying attention and glued a Hard Brown tip on. 1st reaction was simply WOW, don't like this, have to glue...

It's good to practice no warmups. Only consentrating on a straight backstroke & delivery to the CB.

Yes, Josh got started under the tutelage of Jim Buss. When Jim decided he wanted to retire (I'm sure there were discussions long before) he offered a long term buyout. I sure Jim wanted his investment back in his pocket but also wanted Josh to succeed, thus the year or likely a multi year...

Yes, that's one of my prize items. The first time I visited Dennis at his MI shop I saw that cue in his small cue rack and commented on it. That question of course turned into a very long story over a few glasses of brown liquor. Which led to .... For those that don't know, Dennis made this...

My question, Who was Louis Grillo?

That's why I prefaced with "If GC & AMF are the only possible choices"

If GC & AMF are the only possible choices, it has to be AMF. Only 4 rails not 6.

Maybe not related but I obviously lost where Center Ball is by doing the up and down drill from the foot spot. Doing this drill over and over I finally found Center. I think this problem could be at least partly solved by knowing if you're actually lined up/seeing the CB correctly when down.

I was at a tavern and just wanted to see how the CB banks around the table. Chalkysticks has become pretty cumbersome to work with but after 15mins I was able to get close to the CB path I witnessed. I made 1 stroke of the CB then walked away. https://www.chalkysticks.com/diagram/32758.png

Always thought I played best when I was Dead Tired. Too tired to think, just shoot the shot in front of me. Move on..

Haven't read all these posts. I like a Hard tip. Searching for harder since I added more weight to my cue.

Those the folks from Iowa?

I have a Brittany and a Dieckman. I'm sticking with that.

I've been away from the USBA for many years. Maybe there's been a change recently but from my experience they place put their money on promoting the top players. There's no effort money wise or anywise to promote the game. No youth programs. No clinics to the pool public. Nothing outside of...

You can practice consistency with any game. If you want consistency you have to Practice being Consistent. Of course you need to know what consistency means. Hint: Its not consistently pocketing balls. It's consistently delivering the cue tip where you intend it to land on your CB. If you...
