The legal gambling services have not taken on pool. Why do you think that is?

So... you need the software, perimeter lighting, a projection system, perhaps some kind of computer/internet interface, and shipping.

What are you thinking the cost is going to end up?

Picked this cue up a couple of weeks ago, no makers mark / sig on the cue. The cue appears to be well made looks to be cocobolo into a curly maple forearm, points and veneers all line up, nice sandwich wood inlaid rings and a very well installed leather wrap. Rings and joint are not ivory. Cue came with 2 nice maple shafts and a Adam ACSS Pro, 3/8x10 joint pin.

Any help identifying the cue would be very appreciated, I can get more pictures if required.

Traditional pool table lights that are centered over the table (and relatively low) won't work.

Either your own even lighting around the table, or ideally a perimeter light (purchased new or DIY'd) is the best option.

I'm referring strictly to whether or not speed causes more spin on the ball. Dr Dave says it does, he's done the tests. Seems like common sense to me.
That's not to say every shot should be hit hard, in golf or pool. Control of how far it draws in pool is difficult and an asset, as is drawing it a table length when you need it.

Nope not warped. The dial indicator on my lathe proves it. I think epoxypop is right... I measure the taper on the handle and it tapers some but not much and the base of the forearm where handle connects is slightly bigger diameter.

I like the idea but I doubt the knives can cut some hard tips and, especially, those with hard clear plastic bottoms as are found in Kamui clear tips or the Rhino Time Crystal.

Going from the age of the cue i would think that it's warped

Just wondering how it’s going around the country with straight pool leagues? 35 years a go they were big when I first started playing. A few have popped up here and there. A decent handicap one has been running across the river for a while. I recently joined an in house one at a local club. There are the only place you’ll find 9 foot tables in my town. I was surprised to find 40 players in it. I always respected the game but never had the patience for it. Now it’s the league I most look forward to playing. It’s such a difficult game. Im a 7/9 in apa 8 ball and 9 ball but I would like a 4 if I there was an apa straight pool leagues. lol I’ll pull some runs in the teens but I’m more focused on winning the safety battles and playing good patterns then stringing racks together . I’m winning matches but it’s nothing pretty. I feel I’m getting a little better every day. I’m 54 and I’d like to be able to run my age by this time next year but might be asking a lot lol did I mention its a hard ass game. lol

anyway back to the question.. is york unusual or is anyone else seeing the game starting to rise in popularity again?
