WTH does that even mean? You need 'more cue' on a big table?? So you have to have different cues for different tables?? What you're trying to say makes zero sense. The difference in the longest shot on each table is about a foot or so. You don't need 'more cue'(still have no clue here) to play on a bigger

The thread is about high end custom cues. There is a marked decline in 9 foot table rooms and an increase in the bar table business. The word " bar cue" has been around for years- it is generally a less expensive non custom cue. Explains part of custom cue decline.

My comments on the ability to slow down the CB on fast 7 foot tables can be achieved with either cue- "bar cue" or custom cue-- no argument from me there----- just that one has to have that stroke ability or the CB is uncontrollable from rail to table surface and the smaller table surface on 7 foots demands even more CB braking ability as in putting on the brakes.

I remember when we stormed the beaches of O'ahu....just kidding.
Veterans, I appreciate you everyday

Jayson had a social media ban on the team during Mosconi Cup.
America would do well to follow suit.

many of the tips are the same ol shit hyped up for higher profit ...... not one of them doing anything else better to make a real difference in the instantaneous moments the tip contacts the ball.

Not sure I agree. I have used tips that I hated almost immediately. Some glaze and mushroom far worse than others, hold chalk better, etc. All leather is not equal...Differences in manufacturing process, quality control, and so on.
Just an opinion from the cheap seats.
Carry on.

The only related rule I know of is a heyball rule. In heyball it is a foul to play a shot one-handed.

Interesting set of rules for sure!

Fouls include:
(j) Shoot with only one hand;
(k) Place auxiliary equipment such as external cue extenders or bridges to shoot the ball on the table;
(l) Mobile devices such as mobile phones make a noise, and the first time will be considered as a foul, and loss of the current rack thereafter.

No bridges and put your phone in Airplane Mode or else!

Yes, when he turns 40, he’ll be eligible.
No doubt in my mind.

Some rich AZ billiards fan can sure spare a million to set up a training fund for a bunch of talents? Grow them now.

I find it peculiar that pool is so ingrained in USA culture but no angel investor to be found? Joe Rogan?

America would have to establish training facilities, and a feeder system to the professional level, then maybe it would gain outsider support.

Thank you to all those who served in the Military !

I would share a bench in church with a gentleman who was one of the Original Flying Tigers long before the US got thrown into the war , we had may interesting conversations also .

When I was still in school they didn't invite any soldiers / veterans into the school for Veterans Day but that's changed now the last I heard .

For me I lived with a veteran so I seen him every day so it wasn't a big deal for me ha ha
