    The Removal Of The Design Your Dream Thread

    As a compromise, maybe we could have a Archived Closed threads Folder where "closed" threads can be searched and viewed but not replied to.

    Who needs a custom made cue?

    With slight modification for humor this is also good advice for finding a wife. Good xxxxx are mostly whatever feels good to you.... But if one really really suits you, treat yourself to an attractive one. �� Try some of your friends' xxxxx, see what really truly feels best, then get one...

    Regarding tips, if you had to choose one of these, which one and why?

    Given your choices I'd go with the Ultra Skin Medium. I wouldn't put any on your list on my cues though. I like pressed triangles.

    APA needs to step it up

    So many table options and you're going to hold out because your favorite brand isn't selected. If the tables aren't playing "right" I understand. Red Label Diamonds bank short compared to the Gold Crowns I'm used to playing on. I hate them. The blue label Diamonds i've played on are...

    Anybody out there with a diamond table that has tighter pockets than pro cut?

    Have you considered getting a Chinese 8 ball table? Much tougher pockets. If you can run racks on one of those go with a 6x12' Snooker table and use pool balls, past that take up Billiards :)

    Name the pro playes using LD shafts

    One thing to consider is how are you defining LD shafts? the amount of squirt varies from shaft to shaft, like the Revo has less squirt than the original 314 pre-cat. Some custom cues have maple shafts with short/light ferrules and thinner diameter / longer tapers that reduce squirt. Low...

    APA 8-ball Rankings

    Then they shouldn't be 6's. If you look at Dr. Dave's Break and Run Statistics http://billiards.colostate.edu/bd_articles/2016/aug16.pdf According to his data, the top pro's are just above that 50% mark. If you SL 6's can break and run 50% your 7's should give the world a few games on the wire.

    Free online pool course

    I checked out the site. There's no content besides the "Introduction" that I see. Clicking the Next button doesn't do anything. Ahh one needs to hit the "Progress" button to see the various topics. (i'm reviewing this in live time :) ) You have "object ball path in several areas with...

    Keeping your chalk moist

    You should get a pack of chalk condoms, they are made to keep the moisture in and protect your chalk from dryness. Available at most pharmacies and many grocery stores, in multiple sizes and some are ribbed for your pleasure.......

    What skill level am I ?

    Based on your description above. You're at least an APA 4 possibly a 5 that had a lesson on masse. :)

    I have a tip question.

    I have not had the same experience as you. Properly installed and burnished both lepro and Triangle tips have not mushroomed on me. I don't need to change my tips that often perhaps every year or two, depending on how much I play with them.

    Slow play

    Surely you have watched pro’s play one pocket. That is often a slow thinking game. Only slightly slower than watching paint dry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
