A buddy and I play a modified version which I've dubbed APA-Straight. All normal scoring, and a handicapped race, however full slop and ball in hand for any fouls. This made the game much more friendly for my buddy who is a beginner. You should see the looks we get, 99% of the folks there have...

Instead of buying the drugs or alcohol, spend it on a coach or training.

A guy offered me the opportunity to jump with a Triple 60 Satellite the other day. I used a standard stroke and it jumped nicely. There isn't a groove for a dart stroke but I jumped fine that way also. His had the small extension with it making it almost a full length cue. Felt super light, but...

Or you can be a man about it run the other 7 out.

I shoot with a Viking Siege that is 12.25. However, my break cue is a Siege Break 13mm. Many times, I've accidently grabbed the break cue during play and after one hit with the hard tip I realize I've got the break cue instead of my playing cue. They are both 19oz and both CF. Couple of times...

Commentators saying crap that is demeaning and condescending tracks. Usually, they talk to us like we've never seen what's being televised (or streamed) before. It's usually bad enough I watch stuff on mute.

I've dropped $20 worth of Master's down the pockets...

Also how a player reacts to a sloppy shot. A respectful wave to your opponent acknowledging "That wasn't what I meant to do". Opposed to fist pumps and hollering "Gotta love that APA BABY!". 🤷‍♂️

I recently reclothed a Brunswick with the same issue, however our problem was worse as the bolt had broken off and we just couldn't get the darn thing out. I suspected the only access to the "t-nut" is to remove the rubber on the rail.

I purchased "Video Encyclopedia of 9-ball and 10-ball (VENT)" from Dr. Dave and Mr. Jewett. The first chapter was regarding the break and was enlightening to say the least! I don't get the same results as them on Diamond tables unless I use a rack template carefully with slower speed. If I'm...

Beeswax is easy to install, cleans up, and adding to spots you missed initially is quick. Bondo seems like a hassle if it acts the same on slate as it does on sheet metal.

21 for me on my crappy 8 foot table at home. No fargo.

He stayed down.
