    Downgrading equipment to play better in the APA

    I have always taken pride in having Simonis cloth and Brunswick Centennial balls on my table. I was noticing the more I practiced at home, the worse I would do in the league when I played on the slower cloth and friction-ridden billiard balls that plague bars. 2 months ago, I changed my felt...

    Question about brown chalk

    For those of you that use brown chalk to avoid staining your shaft, which shade worked? After using Blue Diamond for years, it has left me with very badly stained shafts. I recently ordered some Master's brown chalk, but I noticed it's pretty damn dark. I went back on the site and noticed they...

    Need help identifying a few cues

    So a very lucky friend of mine stumbled upon some nice cues while cleaning out his father's storage shed. His father passed away and he does not know a thing about them. I did not recognize the Logo on the playing cue or the signature on the sneaky pete. I was hoping someone could help so he can...

    Draw induced throw?

    I played an APA match this last Thursday and got absolutely slaughtered. I had several shots come up where I needed to draw on a cut shot and I was completely off. I've noticed that this is a major weak point in my game. I won't be able to get to a table until next week, so I'm hoping someone...

    APA Members! What is your rating, and do you feel like it is accurate?

    A few months ago, I posted a thread asking what everyone thought of the APA before I joined. The consensus seemed to be that it is a fun night out, but not a very competitive organization. I started a team with my girlfriend, family members, and friends, so that was exactly what we were looking...

    APA Captain Strategy

    I was wondering if anyone here has experience as a captain. This is my first time in the APA, and as we get ready for our second match, I am giving a lot of thought to the strategy of matching up players. Is it better to match lower rated players against higher players? Should I try to play...

    Counterfeit Kamui tips?

    I really want to give a Kamui Soft tip a try, but I am paranoid of getting a counterfeit after reading some bad experiences. A few people purchased the tips from big name online stores. Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer?

    Which Kamui Black tip should I try first?

    I am really confused by the fact that people seem to love the super soft model. This goes against what I usually hear that medium or hard tips are the way to go. It seems like that would be a lot of maintenance with mushrooming and whatnot... Can anyone that has tried the different grades...

    Meucci FR-4

    I purchased a Meucci FR-4 (Freshman 4) back in November, so I wanted to write a review now that I am used to it. About me My first “real” cue was a Viking F50 back in 2006, with a basic maple shaft. I did not start seriously playing pool until I joined a league in 2010. The Viking was great...

    Any new purchases with your tax return?

    I know how much I am getting, so I pulled the trigger on a Pechauer jump cue, and a black dot shaft for my old viking. I also got a bunch of miscellaneous stuff, like shaft cleaner, chalk, etc... Anyone else irresponsibly spending their tax return? :grin-square:

    Pool game at the carnival?

    Has anyone else stubbornly dumped money into this? It never fails... Every single year the fair comes around, I insist on playing until I win. It usually takes me 2 or 3 tries. For those that have not seen it, they rack 4 balls in a diamond shape at the foot spot. The object is to break, then...

    Sacrificing space for a pool table?

    A few months back, I got an insane deal on a pool table at an estate sale. I put the table in my family's storage unit, in hopes of installing it in my home when I got a place. I am gearing up to move into a condo at the beginning of 2013. All the areas that are in my price range don't leave...
