sStrange cue part explanation

sStrange Cue Part

OK, now I have to junk my old Palmer. It doesn't have an end stop.
Have to wonder also what this guy calls the bumpers on cars - "front end stop & back end stop"?
 
Many of my vintage cues were made with out bumpers and they wobble so bad I can't use them any more. They should be fine as tomato stakes this spring.:wink:

Same guy! I honestly was surprised that he put it on his hand, and not on the cue!

Last week, another player and me had to stop our game and wait for someone on the table next to us to stand there for 3 min. chalking. It was my opponents turn, and the other guy was on the table next to us, but in his way. My friend just kind of stood off to the side waiting on the guy. I watched, and started giggling. The guy was meticulously chalking his hand with the cue chalk,making sure not to miss a spot, and never even bothered to chalk his cue! My opponent and I got a real good laugh out of it. Here he is waiting to shoot the case 9 ball, and he has to wait for that!

Man, that guy is painful to watch. It's obvious that several years ago his mother's diaphram must have slipped.

Well, at least he has good credentials. LOL.
 
OMFG!

I can not believe the stupidity level of this guy!

Logically, the opposite of the End Stop must be the END GO. It makes the cue ball go.

I've seen quite a few people do this over the years.

A good friend of mine was doing it, and I had to tell him "Uh, dude, you realize that that stuff is designed to INCREASE friction, don't you?"

I can't really say anything.

I was on a trip to Hawaii where the golf was included free. Never having played, I went out on the Arnoild Palmer designed course and banged balls around. I thought you used a tee on every shot, and I was about 50 feet from the green and teed up a shot. I used a driver and banged it to about 3 feet from the hole. I was surpirsed to hear a rip roaring laughter coming from a nearby condo.

Naturally, I thought they thought I was pretty good.. After 18 holes I went back to the clubhouse, held up an iron and said "what are these for anyway?"

Ps. got to a 7 handicap in the next life and cringed at the thought...

Be wary of people that call themselves experts, as the usually suffer from false authority syndrome. On that note, I can picture him as an ESPN commentator for upcoming WPBA matches.
 
Lol

nor should you believe everything you read on Wikipedia either. (User supplied information).

That's a relief. For a minute there, I thought he might be instructing for Dumbass Village.
