If I had a place to do it I would absolutely get an el-cheapo cue and spray it with bedliner. That's actually not a bad idea at all for a bar cue.

If you practice your shooting with tight oversized 10ft table. You won´t fear 4 inch pockets. Kaisa pockets are 70-72mm and balls 68mm.

Different strokes. I like it.

of course it isnt. it is built around gambling. and few gamble at pool anymore so it stands to reason it falls off the map.

all the black regulars that ive ever seen all gambled at pool. as well as most in the poolrooms that hung out and played better.

turn poker into a fun game and see what happens to it.

They would probably stop allowing phones at the pool table just like in poker.

Pretty funny given all the wax gate business.

His opponent seemed like a grouch though and I thought it was out of line to accuse Orcollo so aggressively. I speak Chinese and his tone was quite forceful when complaining to the ref and talking about how he's 100% certain the ball had been waxed. What's odd is that 1) Orcollo hadn't touched the cue ball before then and 2) Yang didn't even get out of position and simply missed a routine shot. It just seemed like Yang was looking for excuses.

Do you have the duo extension? Because if you don’t they sell ( at least used to) a duo with adapter bumper for cue techs with the older bumper/ extension. If you like the avid and don’t have the extension you need it. It does cost you more because you are getting the extension, not just the $10 part.

Justin played in a local leagues all star tournament 3 weeks ago. All matches are a race to 2 loser breaks. Justin went undefeated, didn’t lose a game and played one safety that I saw. Oh and he missed one ball that I saw.
He took home 4,000 including the Calcutta.
Then the following week the league owner Rusty Brandmeyer announced he would no longer be allowed to play in the all star after hearing to much noise.

So much for ALL STARS if not a single one of them won a game.

pool is boring enough to watch. and making the game watchable takes more than putting liberal shot clocks on the game.

all tournaments should be invitational and those that play slow don't get to come. problem solved. and tv will start to pick up the game as viewers will stay interested. and prize pools will grow as well as the sport.

same as in the poolroom. very slow players dont get in action unless they are locked up or bet a lot. and rightly so.

I thought I heard people saying Shane's gonna win this thing

Growing up in LA in the 60's, the great action rooms were located in the inner city pool rooms. I played in all of them. As rent became an issue, these rooms began closing to the point where now there's maybe only one room left. But the same can be said for pool rooms in general. I visit my son in Columbia SC and there are no rooms in a predominantly black city. Why?? It's just not as popular as it once was.

What does any of that have to do with the original question?

Since you obviously didn't read every post in the thread.

One time for you.

I have no problem discussing the possible downswing in the career / game of Corey Deuel or anyone else for that matter.

So in other words it's not what poolscholar said, it's how he said it.

What it is, is if you say that he needs to work on something you are one of the people giving him a hard time. When in reality everyone who comes in contact with him has problems. Even Jason "Buffalo" Hunt can find people to play with in towns. The whole town of Evansville won't play with him and it's their fault?

He doesn't respond to me either. Just a bit high strung or maybe elitist. It's always something to post at though. lol.

I don't have scratches, nicks, or dents. Its hard to explain I guess. They are blemishes. Similar to a scratch but much lighter and look like blotches of different shape and sizes. I'm not even sure if they come from the table. But I don't want to keep polishing my cue with Maguire's car wax because eventually all the clear coat will come off.

Are they coming from your case? Any debris in your case, particularly if it's a tube or JB Ultra style, will absolutely scratch up the finish of your cue.
