How many jump shots have you seen Efren make? I'm with Earl.
lol how many efren shots have you seen from other players?
if the game never changed, we would have to use these. Earl is a bad mofo, I bet a jump cue would help him be just a lil more BADA$$!!!

Hundreds, maybe thousands. A lot of players learned much from Efren.
I'll counter your argument with one wherein simply rolling behind an obstruction with little regard to OB/CB position is somehow a good safety. Here's a tip from a sometimes half assed bottom end short stop. It isn't....
If you have the capability to play the CB after contact, 3 rails, ~17ft and place the CB 4" behind something on repeatedly. Then you really should have the experience the would equate to a different perspective on the game. Perhaps rather the miracle / over your head safety, try just moving the CB a foot or two and freezing it up on something.
As much as I like dislike CF shafts for the reason's the OP mentioned, I'm certainly not butthurt about them. I will also add I don't like playing with a shaft made of new/young wood, all of my players have old wood shafts and that will probably never change. If a professional player who earns a living with his tool prefers a newer tool, good for him. On the flip side, I do chuckle when I see low FR rated players, who will never improve, spend $1,000's on the latest and greatest but hey, that's what marketing is all about

Negative, that's Scarlett Johansen, quite possibly the sexiest woman alive - not sure who I would pick between her and Elizabeth Hurley though and would have to flip a coin

That doesn't mean people can execute like he can or "see" what he does
AHA! I always wondered, I think I may have asked you this before. I am getting old. Just turned 47!!!Negative, that's Scarlett Johansen, quite possibly the sexiest woman alive - not sure who I would pick between her and Elizabeth Hurley though and would have to flip a coin

LOL, you may have, I know someone has in the past but don't remember who. I hit 52 this year.
Thanks. I'm just copying Joe Rogan channeling Earl Strickland. We have seen it, but every thread should have this.Well said.

once was more than enough for me lol
If they can jump with a full cue that is. A jump cue allows things totally out of the realm of normal cue physics and removes almost all skill from jumping a ball. One thing that we must not confuse is the jump shot and jump cue, the two are not equal in discussions. In my experience people that don't like jump cues feel they make the shot way easier than it was ever intended to be and makes mistakes and safes almost trivial to get out of and not the fact they don't know how to use one, because any C player can be shown how to jump a ball in 30 seconds with one. Blaming the ability to jump out of a safe on a "bad safe" is like blaming someone that was shot for not ducking fast enough, there are some logical and reasonable expectations of a shot to still be good vs freezing to another ball after going several rails and still blocking off kicking angles. One should not need superhuman speed and angle control on a table to counter equipment that a 12 yr old can learn to use in minutes.
yeah no, just cause you can jump doesnt mean its an automatic ball pocketed each time using the jump cue
not even close takes skill and practice like anything
yall might as well not even use a breaking cue and just break with your one player cue
you know cause the tip is completely different and can do things normal tips cant

Agreed. Shitcan break cues and jump cues. Toss 'em all on the fire and the sport improves.
not me, my pure x aint going nowhere
you all also act like kicking is magic
it aint that hard, usually just screws things up for you , id rather give a chance to make the ball and win and a hit and hope to get lucky
