No, I gave him the benefit of a doubt rather then knee jerk response of making fun of someone. I also looked at a few of his past posts before answering ( as I did with you before answering, I like to know what the person is like I am talking to) and I think he may have been serious to a degree. He is asking is any of this expensive junk people buy really going to make them a better player in sort of a sarcastic way.

Do I think he was just goofing on us, who cares. The funny thing is, everybody who made fun of the question whether it was serious or not, probably do the same thing with their $25.00 chalk and $30.00 tips wishing for something magic. If they could just find an "Original Micarta" ferrule they will never miss another ball. I think he may have been sort of making fun of them and not really posing silly a question. My comment was just information on the subject in general regardless how he meant his question. I am sorry, I don't attempt to make fun of people as you just tried to do to me, I may ignore them but I don't make fun of them.

Over 600 people have viewed this thread already, don't you think it would be better to post something of some value.
So what is your experience with equipment changes, has it improved your game or been a waste of time and money?

Other than a low deflection shaft its all a bunch of bullshit to get people to buy stuff.

While I agree that there is some stuff out there that will help you learn quicker... there is nothing out there that can make you better. If you have the skill, drive, and discipline you will be just as good in the long run with or without that kamui chalk.

Take a stroke as an example. There is a correct textbook way of stroking the cue. There are also legendary pros who have the weirdest stroke you have ever seen but it obviously works. It all comes down to how you learn not what you learn with and while proper technique can make people better faster... I believe that if you really tried you could run racks with any technique as long as you put in the time.

None if that matters. Go to a deserted beach, find the bottle, rub the hell out of it, and if a young Barbara Eden pops out, you got pool and life by the balls. Your every wish will be granted. No need for all the gear you listed.

If you know Paul (and I do), you'd know it was a joke and people went along with it.
