I have a Brunswick Contender purchased new in 2002. 2 of the cushions are dead.....they are hard as a rock, they kill cue ball speed, and balls rebound off of them at odd angles. The other 4 cushions have plenty of life in them.....I suppose they may have originated from a different...

Thought I'd share an article from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader about Shane Van Boening: http://www.argusleader.com/story/life/2014/12/24/sioux-falls-pool-player-among-best-nation/20829015/ Pocket billiards has been played in every part of the world since the late 1400s, and right now, no...

I have the complete break and run dvd set. I would be willing to trade for instructional DVDs of equal value....let me know what you've got.

I am selling my 31" Roger Long Butt. I shot with this and a 30" OB2 shaft(not for sale) over the last year and it made for a nice combination. Combine this with your favorite 30" LD shaft, and it ends up being an affordable 61" cue for those that need a cue that is longer than the typical 58"...

I realize the answer might be "it depends on the individual", but in general, is it advisable to move your eyes back and forth between the CB on OB during warm up strokes, or should you focus on the CB first, then OB, then pull the trigger? Recently I was working on my stroke, shooting long...

First off, this is not an aiming thread. I'm interested in visualizing the point of aim on the OB after using whatever aiming system. So when you are down in your stance, ready to pull the trigger, do you see a ghost ball?....vertical line on the OB?.....a point on the perimeter of the...

Is a valley cue ball overweight?, oversized?, does it contain a magnet?

Recently, I've been practicing stun shots. I'll set up a marked shot on the table.....mark the point on the rail where the tangent line hits.....then shoot the same shot multiple times trying to achieve a perfect 90 deg stun shot. Then I'll change it up a little......change the shot angle...

I have an Elite 62" Cue that I used for around 6 months. I no longer need it, I have since went with a custom cue of the same length. New price is $140, I'll sell this like-new cue for $75 shipped. I can email pictures if anyone is interested, otherwise here is a link...

I just got the Rempe cue ball, and I'm finding that I tend to hit the cue ball to the left of center. It doesn't seem to matter much where I hit on the vertical axis of the cue ball or the speed of the shot, every time the chalk mark is 1-3 mm left of center. This does not seem to be an issue...

I've been watching the Mike Page Half Ball Hit videos on youtube (excellent material) and am wondering if it makes sense to use the half ball hit as a point of reference for aiming. In other words, look at the cut angle, if it is 30 deg....take the half ball shot, if slightly greater than 30...

I will spend around a third of my practice time setting up a shot on my home table and repeating it over and over again. I'll change one thing at a time, like play shape on a second ball - shoot it 10 times.....then find another route to get on that second ball - shoot it 10 times.....move the...

When I apply Left or Right English I shift the entire cue to the left/right or what you might call parallel english. I shoot with an OB2 shaft, so CB squirt is kept to a minimum anyway. Would I see a benefit by learning back hand english? And what is the best training method to learn back...

It seems that one of my biggest weaknesses is controlling the speed of the cue ball. When playing position for the next shot, I've got decent control over the path of the cue ball. But when pin-point position is required, I'll often over or under shoot where I intend the cue ball to stop...

I am looking to get a butt made with a 5/16X18 joint (I already own a 30" OB2 shaft). It needs to be 31" with an irish linen wrap, aside from this it doesn't need to be fancy, just so it looks decent and is functional. I'd like to target right around 20 ounces on the complete cue.

I'd like to decorate the walls of my pool room with vintage pool posters in black and white. I already have the paul newman poster from the hustler. I am not interesed in the more commonly available posters on the internet. I'd like something unique, like maybe an image of some of the past...

What's a good way to visualize the point of aim on the object ball? For some reason I can't pinpoint a spot or vertical line on the OB. I've tried the ghost ball method as well, but I just can't "see" it. I've been playing pool off and on for the last 15 years but only recently have started...

I'm 6'-7" and at times it gets to be uncomfortable to get my chin down over my cue. As a result I tend to shoot a little more upright then I should. I'm thinking about adding a daily stretching routine as I get back into weight training and cardio. My guess is that, the combination of losing...
