All my cues would have Cortland Linen but my last custom had to go with gray leather because #9 wouldn’t have looked right with its design and veneer colors. I make sure to clean my wraps with steam and restore the smooth finish by glass burnishing the wrap.it literally can take a couple of 90...

I am not trying to steal your spotlight but simply to let you know I understand and can relate to your experience having undergone 6 shoulder surgeries since 2010 and still require two more. Both of my shoulders have seen repeat surgeries and my right shoulder requires a total reverse shoulder...

I am at Sierra Bar & Billiards right now and just read this thread. I dashed to my car to take some photos of my same scorekeeper I keep in my car’s trunk. As far as I’m concerned, this seems to be pretty ideal and suitable for hanging or as standup. I decided to add a back cover for cleanliness...

Oh boy……this could be a lot of fun. Tommy Hill is a Master PBIA Instructor and lives near me. We are members at the same pool room, Sierra Billiards & Bar, in Fresno, CA. Recently two 100” TVs were installed by the pool tables. I look forward to when I can ask Tommy to use DB in his training...

When will the time arrive, if it hasn’t already, that a cue maker can utilize AI for cue design requirements, new creative designs and interface that with his other equipment like CNC. Imagine just asking for a design theme and seeing what AI comes up with and of course, it has to be attainable...

The economics and evolution of advanced products is here now, today. Digiball will pioneer the effort because of its affordability in contrast with a setup required for something like this & DB’s obvious ease of portability for use anytime and anywhere with no setup required. I posted on the...

Sometimes on a par 5 you don’t reach the green on your 2nd shot and why settle for a birdie if you can putt for an eagle. My son just took up the game a year ago. There isn’t any par 5 he will play he can’t get to in 2. He hits a 3 wood 285-310 yds. His drives have reached 365 yds but 325-330 is...

Fast is your friend in tennis, hockey, soccer, baseball, cricket, golf, boxing, ping pong, video gaming, heck, even hand slap games. Speed is relative to the shot before you. In golf, you can be 25-30 yards off the green and you have a number of ways to play the shot with your wedges and every...

You comments make it sound like you haven’t had high speed video analysis of your golf swing and bio-mechanics. Underspin is important as any certified instructor will confirm and but so is your swing dynamic launch, ball flight, peak height, ball speed, spin axis, swing speed, club path, angle...

We are splitting hairs over the interpretation and intent of words. We disagree about what I meant or let’s say I intended which was never about anything other than his adamant stance and opinions about cue building. Yes, I think his approach is dumb but if it works for him and his customers...

Oh……I get it….. because I referred to his business approach as being dumb, JH likely inferred I was referring to his intelligence as stupid. as contrasted with his business approach and bedside demeanor. I suppose if you had a predisposition to how you interpreted my post it can influence your...

Mr. Helfert…….me thinks you inserted your foot in mouth and don’t know how to remove it. I never wrote that, implied it or referred to his character, intelligence or integrity. You some how felt it necessary to defend Al & criticize me. That would normally be just routine around these parts...

You must have gotten up feeling cranky or looking to quarrel. I said I don’t like or care for his SP cues or his demeanor when a customer asks for a cue to be made that is contrary to the way he builds his cues. That’s a criticism of his work not his character, integrity of anything else you...

Perhaps but as you’ve learned, there always is an alternative sooner or later that comes along. Besides the bottomline is I am the customer, it’s my money and I am entitled to get what I want. If what I want is inferior to how he’d otherwise build a cue, you still build it my way since I am...

Baseball and golf are so highly analyzed already that it would serve little purpose. My son lives in San Diego and was fitted for a full set of clubs (14) at the Taylor Made factory in Carlsbad where all the top name equipment brands are located. I gifted him a full set of Shafowfall irons...

But could it survive 110 mph plus exit speeds and the bat collision causing enormous compression resulting from getting barreled. One 400’ home run swing would shatter it to pieces or at least scramble the internal electronics. Baseball already has the equivalent and far much better for hitting...

Heck, I’m even getting excited that a second wave is coming after DigiBall. Am I the only one that noticed, albeit rather belatedly since I only discovered this thread existed today, that Nate has a Shot Clock Display in the works? DigiBall is like seeing Star Wars when it first was released...

Nope….any of the other Simonis green colors or even Simonis blue green but this cloth sure isn’t the apple of my eye.

Simonis Dark Green……..

It absolutely is a different color. In one of my posts, I listed an explanation from TAOM about the differences in chalks that includes the snooker chalk in my photo attachments. There are also photos of the color contrast with V10 in the eBay International Auction Listings pics I included. The...
