I prefer a thrown stick to a bouncing ball

In the long run, Fargo is deadly accurate, but for 1 event....

He was always himself and predictable.... no fault there.

Jacoby knows veneers. Here is a description of an Element series butt, Fire:

this isnt pool church. say it as it is with him. just because he is sick drooling all over him is ridiculous.

That's pretty harsh, but there's people out there that I feel the same way.

I meet Marty many years ago in Boston early in my flying career. We gambled playing some 9ball. I lost but it was pretty close. We hit it off pretty well as pool friends. He invited me to Boston to do some training, but I was never able to that. I didn't know him at all really, but he was very nice to me. I lost track of him many years ago.

When it's finished, and I've put it through all of it's testing, then it'll be ready to show.

Any more developments? Eager to know when these become available...

Tell me if you thought it was possible before the event that Eric were going to win? I didn't.

So why is there no way he wins it again?

Besides my point was to point out that fargo although a good indicator of skill over time is not "deadly accurate" to predict who will win.

So how have you done up there? I've been there lots with only a little success as far as results go. But probably more success than most. It's a tough row to hoe.

Sad there's only 32 players.

The list is strong and maybe that's the idea these days.

What are they doing to attract young/new players?

Just wondering?

Do any USBA Board Members post here?

If so, maybe give us an update on your promotion efforts.

There are 56 players listed, 32 on the left side and 24 on the right side.

I don't like steel wool. I don't put coats on to build a finish, just to seal the grain. I'd sand only to get rid of any raised grain on the wood.

I learned those dislikes with steel wool, found it before i packed the shaft to deliver to customer. Sometimes there is something sand paper won't reach, glue overages from tip installs, without reducing the ferule or wood below diameter to a noticeable amount to a player. iIm getting better with the glue, when i started out i was a real slob

...have dropped an expensive piece of chalk down the pocket of a Diamond table.

I have done it about three times and have been able to retrieve two. Now, I've kinda trained myself to be more careful but sheet-at happens. Just a couple of days ago a brand new piece of green Pyro came tumbling down the ball return -- so sad for someone but then I'm just around break even, lol.

Never, cause I don't ever own an expensive chalk

Why would I buy an expensive chalk when the best chalk in the world costs $2 for a whole 12 chalk box! Thats right, 1 dozen of chalks I bought them for $1.99 from seyberts. Sadly these chalks are removed from seyberts I think.

They are called Silver Cup and theyre truly amazing chalk, Seyberts had them on sale I think so i snatched a couple of dozen boxes, i bought blues and white chalks and surprisinglly to me the white chalks are actually fantastic which I didn't thought they will be....they dont leave much coloration into your hands at all, plus they do minimal dirts on the felt (less than blue chalks).

Not to mention also this cheap chalk is actually really good because when I used them I noticed that there are far less skid's as opposed as when I use those premium fancy expensive chalks.

Bump.

I play in that tournament every year and I know many of the players. One tournament doesn't define a handicap. And if you run that event bracket twice no way that guys wins again. Stuff happens

I've like JC's method (at least for the first finishing of a shaft):

Ok ha ha thank you for taking the time to explain it !
