Pool Room and Ice Cream Shop! Made for each other.

The Meucci Pro Shaft is a great playing shaft. My friend has one. I've hit with it some, but he went to Carbon because it wanted the the feel of the shaft. I think he gave up a great player.

Just yesterday, I saw an advertisement for a Poker League in a pool room. So its here.

I will have to find one and give it a whirl.

I am sensing a new brand of LD shaft it the making. The bendier, lighter end mass generation.

Are you referring to South West's?

That being said, playing with something that is so stiff it feels like a nail is not all that satisfying.

I wouldn't be that TD under any circumstances or any amount of money because the players sloth would be made his problem. Time limit is one rule, it's clear, no debating it. The one that's behind can make a come back play and win or he can lose. Its not gambling, its tournament play.

Understandable squirt that is predictable, is a lot better than a small amounts of not so easy to understand squirt. So yes it is for me.

Even with all of that, 1-pckt takes a long time to play. Room owners need to make money by having more players present at tournaments and spectators. Unless you play this game watching it can be boring for spectators. Could it be that tournament one pocket and gambler style between two players...

Even though there aren't shot clocks, I don't see a TD allowing this to get out of hand before booting someone. Nothing is perfect, and near the end of the match some stalling may happen. I guess that would make the player who is behind have to rearrange the furniture some.

I can't imagine a better way to limit races other than time. If you're behind in the score no more stalling shoot or lose. It's the same gambit during games. If you're way behind from not shooting you lose.

I like this idea.

I sold the one I had. I used a solid piece of wood with a 3/8 x 10 pin in it and it hit great, so now I play with House Cue butt and my Southeast shafts. Feel is King for me. I saw a Cue Guy set up at an event yesterday. Pot leaves, zig zags of all kinds and weird colorful designs and at decent...
