Just sharing most of my collection from Clyde and Jill. I really like working with these two and value their friendship. They are super easy to work with and it is always a pleasure. They are second to no one!!! It is needless to say that I love envelope style cases! I’ll always have a few of these on order from them as long as I am able! Enjoy the photos. None are for sale! Just posting to share the work and quality that Jill Hawk cases are putting out!! They are incredible in person and built to last lifetimes!

Amazing collection of old school cases.

4. Seems like "base of the ball" rules are in effect instead of "full ball" rules for ball in hand behind the head string. This applies to all games, but it's not clear to me what the WPA rules are for behind the line play. I'd like for "on or below the head string" in 6.10 and "crosses the head string" in 6.11 to be defined more clearly. I assume the base of the cue ball is the relevant point in both cases.

See 8.13 Position of Balls.

To make the connection to the definition of "position" in section 8.13 clear, the rules you quoted should say, "it is a foul to play the cue
ball from a position on or below the head string" and "the shot is a foul unless the position of the cue ball crosses the head string before that contact." Additionally, the word "position" in both those rules should be footnoted, with a footnote that says, "See 8.13 Position of balls", so that readers don't have to blindly go searching through the rules looking for a rule that might define when a ball is considered to be behind the head string.

What if it's left there and a ball is pocketed in that pocket regardless of interference or in another pocket entirely?

By and large I’ve had good dealings both ways on AZB. I will not do f&f on pp unless it's with actual friends or family. Besides, the fee isn't that much and I don't want to lose the protection of pp. I’ve been scammed a few times ( non pool related) filed cases with pp and received a refund. That protection doesn't happen with f&f.

Yeah, there are a handful of people I do friends and family with but I’ve dealt with them before or have several mutual friends.

Could be that I misunderstand your post but are you suggesting treating a cue purchase like an amazon purchase? It’s not like you can click the return button and take the cue down to the UPS store or Whole Goods.

It’s a pain in the ass process to file a PP claim.

You still need to do what ever due diligence you would normally do on a cue purchase.

What does video chat have to do with returning a cue?
If you get scammed you report it with proof that you attempted to contact the scammer and your money is returned.
Not sure what’s complicated about that.
The only time I was ever scammed on a cue the guy did indeed video chat with the cue. Then he got his money and ghosted. I had my money back. I also used a credit card instead of cash so I had the backup of a fraud claim through them.
A video isn’t going to stop a thief.

Please post what Joss Cues shares with you.

I was under the bench when it came down. I’m very safety oriented but things happen. Meanwhile Chris Hightower just got back to me… explained what I need and how to change the threaded rod assembly. He’s the best. He never fails.

I say two words, but "shut up" are not them.

Ive just used a break patch for that, where I play there is always one.

My feeling is that if you need to put a cloth on the pocket/liner to protect your shaft from mung or dings, the equipment is broken. It is then reasonable to take the precaution of covering up the broken part of the table during the shot.

Pool is not supposed to be like putt-putt golf where the goal is to figure out a new trick to play each shot.

If you have a gooey pocket liner and have to play over that liner, the use of a cloth or a paper towel seems to me a standard use of equipment in that bad situation.

I think Robert Cannefax would simply cut out the pocket liner.

Bob can you site the rule or have a link to that situation?

We can make these up custom, as well!
