    I was stabbing a bottle like an idiot for whatever reason and it slipped off into my finger.

    Alternative bridges without the thumb

    I recently stabbed myself in the thumb because I like to flip my balisong knives while drunk which caused a blade to go through my thumb and exit partially out the other side. As a result the joint of my thumb is messed up and hurts when I bend it. I got a tournament tomorrow and was just...

    I need to switch to a closed bridge

    I think closed bridge has its uses, I usually shoot with a closed bridge, primarily because I believe its easier to maintain correct tip placement when applying sidespin and yada yada. I still used open bridge for draw shots and other moments where it just feels right, I dunno. And I disagree...

    Why so much hate for McDermott cues?

    30-40 bucks for an alright cue? What's bad about 'em? First one I ever bought. I love my current one, I have no idea what it is, bought it off the ebay for the butt so I could slap my i3 shaft on it, but yeah I agree about joint diameters it doesn't fit 100 percent correctly, although I think...

    Shaft/Butt not flush, problem?

    The other shaft in question is a thrid shaft, its from my lucky, the shaft that came with this butt fit fine as well. My i3 didn't fit my lucky perfectly either, but I can't remember if the same problem was there.

    Shaft/Butt not flush, problem?

    Its definitely the shaft joint though right? If another shaft fits fine, but the i3 doesn't.

    Shaft/Butt not flush, problem?

    I'm not actually sure, the butt is actually newer, and I think my old shaft that came with my lucky screws on fine. I had to take it the shaft to somebody before to get it retapped because someone screwed it in like an asshole and ****ed it up. I think the i3 shaft might just not be a perfect...

    Shaft/Butt not flush, problem?

    It looks like its slightly bent if you look at it from this view, I'm not sure if its evident in the picture.

    Shaft/Butt not flush, problem?

    I can see light through the joint, the shaft actually is slightly angled when screwed in, which gives the illusion that the shaft looks warped if I do the rifle sighting test on it. Can this mess up the joint? I'm sure any effects on aim are negligible as well. I'd like to get it fixed at some...

    job relocation - where to play in east Pittsburgh?

    Never been to it, but Pinky's is in Turtle Creek, which is closer to the Monroeville area. Steel City on 51 of course, but that's farther away.

    Rubber tips: do they reduce skidding and play better english?

    Yes, erasers actually work pretty well, back when I had to play at my older college campus, there were no cues with tips, and I ended up jamming an eraser in a screw on thing and it worked way better than using the cue with the rounded ferrule/wood. Sidespin was possible atleast and etc.

    Should a person born male with XY chromosomes be able to play women's sports (pool)?

    I do not understand why pool is even divided among sex, its pretty stupid. There are genetic females that are pretty manly/bulky as well, so I don't think the argument can really apply. If someone wants to identify as a woman, legally they should be recognized as such.

    Do any LD shafts hit like normal shafts?

    http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/squirt.html#data Its not too far behind the original 314. I've never shot with a z2, I've shot with a friends 314-2 and an original 314 only a few times. I'd rather have an American product anyways. But due to its construction it hits more like a...

    McDermott i-shafts, I have an i3, they are traditional shafts with a carbon fiber core, no laminating.
