Congratulations, Melinda!!! Way to go!

I've been waiting to see this match. I saw the semi-finals then nothing (thanks ESPN). It was supposed to be on at 1:30pm and I accidentally caught it at 6pm. Being new to pool I have not seen Allison play that much. It was a thrill to see her climb back to the top!! I even knew about the...

It sounds to me like the OP is a type that benefits from the effects of small amounts of pot. It's a natural substance and it's completely harmless. I don't understand the stigma.

As far as I can tell, the balance point is quite important. Changing my Pechauer from 18.6 to 19.4 made a significant difference for me. Subtle, but sometimes that's all it takes.

Interesting. I thought there might be established rules for this... Now I can settle this once and for all.

There is always confusion about this among the guys I shoot with... If my partner wins the game, I break the next rack, correct? So does the player who got skipped, the guy who shoots after my partner, get to shoot next? Or does the guy who always shoots after me shoot?

I played with a friend's Joss a few times that he was trying to sell. I loved it as soon as I held it. Get a pretty, high end Joss because that is what you want.

Surely there's a cue out there that you might like to have instead...

I've always thought I was left eye dominant until one day when I was in dead stroke I froze after one shot and realized that my left eye was not over the stick, but my right. So my question is How do you determine which is your dominant eye? I always heard that if you put your thumb and...

My first cue was named Alice for 2 seconds before I came up with Malice. :grin-devilish: My new cue is a Pechauer so for now it's my Pea Shooter.

No breaks. The game is about focus, aim, and minor muscle movements. You can play and win, or you can't.

You lucky dog.

Just wanted to congratulate Allison Fisher on winning the WPBA U.S. Open, and whipping my current favorite Kim!! Can't wait to see that last 2-9! Nice comeback!
