Yeah sorry, that just isn't believable...

No one's going to switch from a Strat to a Les Paul... maybe a PRS...

tables where they could bet a drink or $1. If you lost you might as well go home

Fortunately I only encountered that a couple of places. Small taverns with only one table were as Forest Gump would say, "like a box of chocolates". The chalk board adjacent the table with 8 names up made it critical to hold the table for the one dollar games. That was the late 70s and Straight 8 was the game. Straight 8 no bullshit would be the clarification if I asked what their version of Straight 8 was.

It is in the garage. Just a crumb. Haven't bought a cover yet. No rips in felt at all, just burns.

Just long shot. Have a different set of balls to use/try? I doubt that’s the case but go to the source

Having the ferrules replaced is the best option of course.

Done a few both ways. The issue is there is a heavy brass insert. Filling it with epoxy is just adding to the problem. Typically, the ferrule is long on these so you can cut off the end and still have enough ferrule to work with.

It seems like Shane has been playing progressively worse since his impressive Florida Open win.

Maybe he needs some time away from all this touring

I was thinking that as well.. the traveling maybe getting to him. He isn’t getting any younger.

Any interest in a Prather?

Straight Pool remains the best game to practice!

Both Mika Immonen and Jeanette Lee used straight pool as their primary practice game.
