Garc , you seem to have missed my Sarcasm to all The Equipment haters. Again you cut me to the quick , You have to come to the Conclusion on your own my Friend that you do not have to go all out to be a decent player, You seem to be one of those who has to have the best Cigars , the newest Meucci Cue or newest revo shaft in order to play your best game. Wild Hog sort of if you see my Drift . I know a guy who most on this board could not handle in a pool game , problay the best breaker this is of the Usa that played with a old 1960's house cue with Black Tape on the handle and the Cue was not worth more than the $ 10 he paid for it , But it made him several thousands of Dollars thru the years Hustling . He said he would laugh at the guys who had the mostest expensive cues and ball sets and tables and chalk as he was walking out their door with their Money . So you see Money is not the prime objective here, Poor People have Poor ways and sometimes you have to do what you have to do. When you do not have alot of money but would like to have something half way decent you ask and do the best you can with what you have. As the Song goes " Walk a mile in my Shoes , Don't Critizie what you do not understand for you know not what that Man has been thru " . Some are Fortunate to have the best , It seems you are in that Crowd and more power to you , But Don't look down on Someone who has not been that Fortunate. It just amazes me how some of you seem to get your Panties in a Bunch when someone ask a Question , SO WHAT , Pool Died a few years ago whether you know it or not and at least asking these so called silly questions at least sparks some intrest in the game. If you do not like it move on another thread. Pool will never be like it was , The Kids just don't get into it anymore like we did growing up. It will never be the same.
