Used to be a fair shot decades ago. Now have my own, pretty decent, table and want to "reconstruct myself".
I was never a "scientist" - just a youngster with a good eye and nerves and fair talent. Now I want to be a decent player and it occurs to me that some study and preparation will help.
Foremost is the preparation of the cue, I would think. My package included a Cue Tec cue for me and the top of the line Brunswick player package with four cues. They all seem to be fairly flat as from the factory and I want to learn how to prepare them better.
I've already read about nickle or dime profile. Needle jabbers etc.
Is there a good tutorial, with pictures, that will lead me through proper cue maintenance? I'm also willing to go "back to school" on basics. Even though I can occasionally run 15 or 20 balls I'm suspecting there's a lot that I never learned during my misspent youth.
Thanks for your input. My first post and hoping the forum will help me to improve.
