"YOU HAVE A BYE"

Considering these banned names go back to 2003 I don't really think it has anything to do with anybody being "woke." It has to do with liability and brand image.

Not sure how it started, but to be fair, banning "All Balls Matter" might be considered a bit uptight. Most of the older banned names are sexually suggestive.

Unavoidable that the tournament itself becomes the game.

APA hated my team name: Pocket full o' balls

How about, "2 IN DA BLOOD 1 IN THE MUD" or "PINK TACOS 2"?

Shocking that sensitive and witty team names like this are not allowed. Not quite up to Cole Porter double entendre standard, more like a slap in the face with a live fish

They did not like Who's Your Rack Daddy.

I wanted to name a team, 'Pool Sharts'.

This shot really doesn't look that hard and not hard to find I would say for people who have played enough straight pool. I will say it is very cool when I make a shot back to the corner I am standing in, by some chain reaction, or kick combination. I have a shot like this I made in one of my runs, but couldn't find it looking briefly through videos. Now that said, the shots where the secondary ball goes like in The Hustler, I don't see those very well. That isn't obvious. This run I made is only 27 balls, but the shot I made at 10;30 was way less obvious than this shot by Irving Crane. Login to view embedded media

As I pointed out in the video, waxes are fairly persistent on the CB and aren’t that noticeable (look or feel). Silicone spray is another story. It is very messy and can definitely be felt.

I understand and the video was excellent, But I haven't seen anybody in a video was the cue ball while we're all watching to determine how long it would take for the wax to dry?

Some of the fellas tried just for the heck of it and we had to wipe it on and off very deliberately not something that could be done during a match???

I fixed a bunch of "Viper" brand house cues for the local hall for practice. They were drilled out in an attempt to make them LD. They were really shitty wood and didn't hold up to the abuse of the environment. They basically split out the first 2-3" of the cues. I talked with the owner before doing so, but I had to just cut them past the hollowed part as the wood was cracked or just missing. The result was the house cues are about 2-3" shorter than normal but it was about the only way to do it. The people are so hard on them and disrespectful with the equipment he didn't want to invest anything in them. $2 worth of ferrule/epoxy/lepros and they were playable again. It was invaluable experience for putting ferrules on and finishing them up. They have all held up however the unbroken original ones are now broken. It's about time to get them and fix them.

Attempting to make a cheap house cue LD by drilling them out was/is a terrible idea.

I just have to throw this in here. I can't remember where I seen it but years ago someone had a pencil sharpener type tendon cutter. I hate to even say this but I think it was Eddie Wheat. I believe this use to be a common tool for house cues.
