I woulda tried stuffing the end with paper but you were already all the way in?

Yes. Even used a super duty allen wrench and it still worked its way free.

Hey, it's February 2026, but I still would like to add my high run of 2025 - because it was my highest run since I play straight pool.

I had a 55 playing a race to 125 to a very goof Player on a 9 Foot Brunswick in July 2026.

It wasn’t a single event. I was a teacher for 22 years and it was a slow year over year erosion of an environment that allowed me to do my job and maintain a productive structure. It’s not a good time in our culture to work with youth in any capacity.

It's like death by a thousand cuts. We all have stories. Mine is too long nor appropriate to tell here but it has been over 40 years and it changed me permanently. When the SHTF you find who your friends are and are not and it can be surprising. My wife and I let no one in our life anymore.

The Boy's Club had 'em in all colors. I would always be disappointed if they were in use.

First cue I owned. Won in a tournament 1974 Valdosta Ga. Never use it, so it never disappoints. Lol

This is the problem. We have given up on our youth. Sad to say

I didn’t give up on the youth as much as I gave up on all the structural nonsense surrounding the youth that fosters antisocial behavior. The problem with youth is all the fine print that will take a good program and completely ruin it.

there is something going on specifically with that vanadium cue ball i was trying to get. When i swap it to the palladium version, shipping is only $12. I prefer the triangles on the vanadium vs the "rotors" but not that much more. I will reach out and see if its something that can be resolved.

Bob , I for one appreciate you're efforts of visiting all the pool rooms in LV however pictures would be wonderful also thank you for the write up !

I'm not good with pictures, but Griff's and Walter's both have websites. I forgot to mention that Griff's Buffalo chicken salad is most excellent.

There was a wiry long hair hippie type they told me was Surfer Rod - didn't look anything like the photos of said, but the glimpse I did get of him was some 1 hole game where he matter of factly pulled off a nice banked combination along the bottom rail.

In PJ's pic? I break half again closer to the rail with similar results. Lotsa curve. I aim directly at the middle ball in the back row so I don't really know where the contacts are. Perfect on Stevens type cloth but I didn't change anything on Simonis except the speed.

I was referring to the airport point on the rack.

In my experience, CB about 1/2 diamond from outside rail on the headstrong for me.
