I'd buy the $130.00 Amazon ball cleaner and save the rest of the $$.

I bought one and it’s fantastic. If I owned a pool hall and was going to be using it a lot I would absolutely get the diamond for commercial use but this is excellent for home use and does a great job. I replaced my bucket cleaner with this and it does great.

I love the little JIM REMPE logos. I may pick up one of these cues this year. I think i have ALL of the vintage ADAMS catalogs that came in a collection this year. If I find time, I'll go scan in everything and share.

would you or anyone else be willing to part with their JR3 Espuire? I also want one to both compliment the King I have, and to use as my main playing cue. I love the king and my other stick, but the Espuire is my dream cue

I do not know your daughter, why not let her you afraid some material item gets destroyed, does she break things in the house when your not there? Why not go there and set the grown rules with your table,No drinks on edge , place chalk face up only on rail, don't throw balls on table, stuff like that, then ask if they need anything like pizza, wings, burgers.
I bet you let her and friends have a good time, we need the youth playing pool.

Id like to see the Schon logo on the butt cap.
Nevermind, I just seen you said the cap was replaced

Is it the girl or the sticks?

Okay , uh so? What's the topic? Wouldn't want the social network uh off topic demerit.
Gotta unwind after the fields of friendly strife mission tonight. Good competition And we lost. We at least made them play Good. No shame no blame, just good clean fun.
The best recreation has a competition factor.
And And oh yeah, I hit one really good shot. So indulge Gramps and his story.
I was feeling dialed in on the equipment and ran down to the key ball. With good angle for gentle draw to bump the 2 and have straightness 8 ball just below the spot. I did it, e cept the gentle bump left me just a hair hooked. Er uh Grrrr... W T F ! Sheesh I was playing for straight in shape for A Half pocket. His ball covered half. Now I have the hanging curve to a half pocket!!° Uphill both ways. I was Amazed when it worked. Shrug

What up Bava?
I’m not trying to bag on ya’. I’ve read your posts for a long time and value your opinion.

I get what you’re saying about peer pressure and mingling. I think it’s natural for kids to want to be part of the group, but it can be uncomfortable to be the focus of attention. They just want to blend in and feel they belong without risk. Do you think that we should encourage our kids to avoid uncomfortable situations where their voice might not be echoed by the herd?

I have to heartily disagree with you in regards to the surveillance thing. Although I know that is where the world is going and we all have to assume we are being recorded at all times. If I think about all the dumb shit I did that could have been caught on camera, give’em a little wiggle room to rise to the occasion.

Here’s the thing about surveliance. The man cave is 150 yards from the house. I’d rather not walk all the way out there because something seemed suspicious to only discover upon arrival I was not alone. So whether I brought my dog, flashlight, 12 ga. or .45, it’d be a lot easie4 if I could look at the inside and outside areas of my man cave without having to go there and be unprepared when a camera reveals a lot. As far as the kids, you could always turn the inside cameras off but still leave the outside cameras in case anyone tripped and injured themselves otherwise unobserved.

I concur that children need to be more responsible and grown up but I don’t know what that is anymore. Is that a 6-7 or more like a 9 put of 10. Their awareness and understanding of all the bullshit that is tolerated in this world has to seem afixating. Look at what is happening that even we are aghast about so imagine how it must seem to them. And how our reaction to things influence their thoughts. And then when they’re surrounded by their peers, each of them brings their own luggage.

Sometimes kids just want to be kids and do silly, thoughtless shit. Asking your children to supervise everyone, unless it’s a small area, can limit their chance to just have fun, relax and not have to remain on the alert like the party was at a friend’s house, not their dad’s man cave that is his special location you have to get invited to. It just seems like dad could lessen the pressure for his daughter by having a discussion with everyone in attendance about the do’s and don’t with very strong added emphasis on the don’t by repeating them.. Let them know to treat your stuff with respect.

Your daughter said all of you were mature for your age and she trusts you. Well, I trust my daughter so please don’t disappoint her and you better not disappoint me either. Have a great time.
