    Optical Illusions???

    CURED!!!! I hope..... I can't thank all those that responded enough, even the eye-candy was QUALITY!!LOL Since my chin has been just to the left of my cue, I assumed (I know,I know) my dominant right eye was over the cue - wrong.

    Optical Illusions???

    Wow, thanks for the great advice and drill. I do plan on getting some lessons in the near future. I have a feeling that I am hitting left of where I'm looking - never thought of that! Can't wait to try that drill and see if different head positions might help. Thanks again for the excellent...

    Optical Illusions???

    New cue - normal??

    Thanks for the input guys! On the McDermott site they say the wrap is double pressed, then polished. After some use it feels a little better today. The honeymoon is on - I can't seem to miss! I hope it last longer than my last new driver..... Ben

    New cue - normal??

    This is my first post - great site! I just received my first cue (McDermott Tucson), and the linen wrap seems very slick. Is this normal when new? I tried cleaning it with a slightly damp cloth and noticed the towel had some dark residue on it, and the wrap remained slick when finished. Is there...
