    Mike Page

    I'm just wondering how long does it take after playing in a tournament before the data is updated into Fargo? I was in a tournament on August 11th and the results were sent in, or however they do it, but Fargo has not been updated yet with the new data. We are having another tournament on August...

    APA and Mosconi Cup

    I notice a lot of players do not like the APA because slop counts. I don't play APA so I am not taking up for those that do, but I was wondering why it is okay to slop a ball in playing for the Mosconi Cup and it is considered okay or even a great shot? For instance I saw a clip of Jayson Shaw...

    TV Chalky Sticks

    Just curious so maybe Chalky Sticks can answer my question. With so many matches to choose from on You Tube why does Chalky Sticks show numerous matches over and over? Is that just the way the programming is set up or is there a way to change which match is showing?

    Armor All on Shaft

    Has anyone ever tried using Armor All to make the shaft slicker? I've been using Pledge and even though that helps I don't know if it or Armor All will cause any problems with my cue.

    Split Hit

    Is a split hit a good hit or a bad hit? This happened a few times in league play the other night and of course it started an argument. Before I played in leagues I always thought it was a bad hit, but it seems like in leagues most of the players say it is a good hit. Is it in the BCA rule...

    How To Master Pocket Billiards (VHS)

    I bought, "How To Master Pocket Billiards" by Fast Eddie Parker around 10 years ago and the tape just broke. Should I buy another one or is there something better on DVD that shows how to kick using the diamond system? I heard Grady has a good one called "Just Kicks", but I don't know if it is...

    Jay Helfert, re: Gary Spaeth

    Jay, I read your reply to someone asking about Gary Spaeth and you said that he was a good banker in the same league with Jason Miller and others. If I remember correctly Gary taught Jason how to bank and was always thought of as the best banker around by many players in the Dayton, Ohio area...

    Changing Cue Weight

    Is it possible to change the weight bolt in a Viking Cue? I'm use to a lighter cue but I liked the look of a Viking so I bought it, but it is heavier than what I am use to so I would like to try and make it lighter by changing the weight in the end of it.

    Mark vs Mike

    Could someone explain the difference to me between what Mark Griffin is trying to do and what Mike Janis is planning? Mike has been planning a pro tour and has been talking about it for a while now, but yet when Mark has what to me looks like the same idea it makes front page news at...

    Overcoming Contenderosis

    Has anyone listened to these tapes to help not be so nervous when playing? It seems like the older I've gotten the more shaky I've become. What do you do if you haven't tried these tapes? I saw them at the BCA State Tournament in Columbus, OH this weekend and even though it sounded good I didn't...

    When the board switched to the new software none of the avatars show up and there isn't any reply button when I'm reading a post. Does anyone else have this problem????

    Danny Harriman...banks?

    Danny, I read where you said you will play Corey some banks. As mentioned in that thread by amc4 they will not back Corey in banks. So do you want to set up a game of nine-ball banks with my friend? Joe
