I should not have started this Thread on April Fools Day, as I was hoping folks would not turn the thread into a Joke. Hopefully now the the Day of Fools is OVER, we can share some good tips on Cue, Shaft, Tips Maintenance, and other Tips and Tricks. ;)

Too late...insanity has already taken over. :D
 
This may sound dumb, but here it is anyway.
I've started mimicking certain players.
Not their stroke, but their mannerisms around the table.
When they are looking at how the balls lay.
When they are sitting.
The way they stroll around the table.
Once I start, I continue almost subconciously.
My favorite to copy is Buddy Hall.

This has been bothering me for some time and I have to take issue with this. A flute with no holes is a pool cue. And a donut with no holes is a Dutchie.

Have you tried Charlie Chaplin, John Wayne, Michael Jackson (moon walking) or Pee Wee Herman (while at the movie theater) strolling around the table. :confused:

Tried Chaplain once
Kept hitting people with my cue when I'd copy the cane twirl.

It's a donut without any holes. Very popular in Canada at Tim Horton's.

(Or possibly a variation of 'Duchy' which is the territory ruled by a Duke. Or even possibly someone from Holland...)

IMHHO.

Oh.......so it's a danish.
 
I dont really have that many secrets to share, but one thing I've always done is wash my hands before I play and every couple of hours as I'm playing. It keeps the oil on your hands from getting too much on the shaft, and I never have to use talcum to keep everything moving smoothly.
 
A rosin bag like baseball pitchers use works well to keep your hands stroking smooth instead of talcum powder and there is a lot less mess.
