Not likely a good sign when your wife knows how many and what make of cues you have and likely how much $ you paid for them. If mine knew that about my cues and shafts, it would not be good!

Agreed - for a pendulum pinned elbow stroke, your follow through is full when your tip hits the cloth and your grip hand runs in to your chest.

Yes, southwest NC, 1 hour southwest of Asheville, NC, 2-1/2 hours northeast from Atlanta, GA, 2-1/2 hours west from Charlotte, NC, 1-1/2 hours southeast from Knoxville, TN - actually a little tricky to get to.

Thanks, we’re considering making the 2-1/2 drive to see my friend Ernesto and Oscar play. He was just here 2 weeks ago re-covering all our tables.

Does anyone know if they’ll be a decent spectator area for those of us that would like to go and watch some of the doubles matches?

Sounds like that would be very hard to do, but if the double hit is not one continuous follow through motion, I would clearly consider that would warrant an unsportsmanlike foul and loss of game.

Carom angles - to better have an idea of where the cue ball is headed

Our red circle Cue ball works fine on our Diamond smart 7 foot coin table.

As a 30 year room owner, just a suggestion to other room owners, the Aramith red circle cue ball stays cleaner and is easier to clean than any other cue ball we have ever used. Amazingly, even miscue marks rarely show up on a red circle Cue ball, and chalk marks, regardless of the kind of chalk...

Yeah, if he’s playing in it, he really shouldn’t be charging, but it is only $1 per person. If he’s one of the better players and winning more than his share, then that would bother me a little more. Bottom line though, somebody has to commit to being there to run the tournament, which is...
