More specifically, a 2nd gen Predator Z? I have a 1st gen that I love dearly and I'm thinking about getting a 2nd gen. Who can talk me into or out of it?

No, hell no.

More than you could afford, pal.

It's a fierce competition between him and I. It really is. Friendly, but fierce.

LOL. Mind you, getting laid isn't necessarily a problem for me. However, I have passed up sex for pool in the past. :o

Maybe I'm just an interesting breed, but I really try never to miss ever. Every shot I look at and try to find a way to put the ball in the pocket. I focus on every shot if I am doing the right thing to make the ball go in the hole. I swing with as much precision in a casual game, if I...

I'm not forcing you to continue reading it, you've done that of your own accord. I bet I could beat you at pool and golf though :eek:

First thing you guys need to realize is that I don't see pool as a lucrative career choice. I have a great job where I am a big success and put together a good living for myself. I work too damned hard at this job to start potentially handing it out to some schmuck at a pool hall. I like my...

I own a Connelly Ultimate and I have to tell you that it is a fine piece of work. Moving it is a total nightmare...period. Once installed properly, this table is absolutely amazing. Years of consistent play, GORGEOUS looks, a real piece of art. I'd recommend one to anybody...really.

Two of the rooms that I frequent are slowly making the transition to Diamond, and to raving reviews as well. I, for one, am not such a particular fan of them, I think the rails are slightly funky and I've never been big on ball return pockets. Everyone seems to like them though. Every one...

Ok, now at 250-260. We had a short night last night, he was in a bad mood and left for the sake of not losing his temper. He won 5, I won 5 which still leaves him up 10 racks at this time. No catching up to him for me, just 5 racks closer to 5,000.

Interesting indeed.

Nothing to be afraid of to be honest. We have almost nothing at stake. Just a game between friends. A very long game.

We finally got out to play again last night. Score at this point is 257-247. He is ahead and really took it to me last night. He was really shooting sharp and I wasn't playing at the top of my game at all. I had a lot of mental distraction last night due to some personal garbage that I'm...
