Something to do with the original image and a song. Never seen this before.. (I did not listen to the song).

Say yes

Absolutely! Set clear expectations.

I have a set of cheaper balls and old house sticks for my boys buds or the nieces and nephews to use.

It's time to add a few cameras to the man cave. You know, just to catch any great shots you make. Oh, and hang a few "Under Video Surveillance" signs up.... Remind her often that you always have an eye on the room.

I wonder if the tube top, skirt, and heels were her way of getting you back for the errant trick shot!
She sounds like one helluva woman.
I am sorry you lost your friend. The world just becomes a smaller and smaller place as we lose those who filled it with wonder.

I’m sorry, but when I first saw it, I immediately thought of one of the 4 piece “hand carved” cues. It just looks cheap and poor quality.
No offense.

Would love one of those $9.00 4 piece jobs. I'd send it to Proficient Billiards for a refinish and convert to bumperless.

Oh my...

Maybe order a few pizzas and a couple racks of bbq ribs too.

Yeah, hell to the no!

I'll be happy to join them as the cool dad who'll teach them how to play pool though...

Serious offers will be entertained!

The right Coach is Huge. The Trinity Highschool football team didn't win a game for 2 years. Then under Coach McHargue lost the first 5 and were down to 13 that won their last 6 the first season of his coaching. Went on to win 31 straight at 10 or 11 per season.
My astute observation had me asking Backward Jan for lessons as opposed to giving him my lunch money playing 8 or 9 ball. $20 a week for 6 weeks (1980s dollars earned at 10 per hour). His first requirement was no gambling while in his lessons program. One hour lesson once a week with one hour practice every day in between was a Huge success. At a time when I thought I was a B+ , well I was winning B tournament s but folded up like a cheap lawn chair playing with the big boys.

Place an object ball on the spot. Place the cue ball in the jaws of a pocket in the kitchen. Now move the cue ball forward directly toward the spotted object ball until you can get a comfortable bridge.

This is a half ball shot from maximum distance for such.

Actually, it's only about 26.5°, so a half ball hit (30°) would overcut by a couple inches. Could still go in with throw, a roomy (5") pocket, or subconscious adjustment.

Here's how VP4 models the half ball hit:

Matchroom should try to get Joe Rogan as commentator for the Mosconi.

They are flexible but still solid, unlike the set of 3D printed ones that were very rigid.

It slips over easy, snugs up to fit the diameter and taper. A raised lip on one end would be nice to bump up against the jaws, but not that big of a deal. I'll get used to that.

It musta been the early 80s or even late 70s when I had a waterbed shop at 8222 South Tacoma Way. Had the shop in the back of the store and had a pool table in the shop. Was real handy and profitable for after hours action.

Cocomo was a Tacoma player that got my lunch money for a little while. Then I....uh matured on the pool table. The White Spot had a ring game built around me in the beginning. When I walked through the door, " RING GAME!" was called out. Then when I grew up, silence and a quick glance at the watch followed by, "I gotta go."
