    Is Someone That Competes at Pool Considered an Athlete

    For me, athletics at its purest is competition that displays the beauty and limits of human form and ability. I mean, the original Olympics from Ancient Greece were played in the nude presumably for that reason (and maybe for other reasons that I won't get into here). In that sense, I think it's...

    Is Someone That Competes at Pool Considered an Athlete

    Just a quick aside: I don't think all sports are necessarily games. Gymnastics, while competitive, is not really a game; no one "wins" gymnastics. And as far as we're bringing the Olympics into this, there is an Olympic event simply called "Athletics" held during the summer games, so does only...

    Trying out cues?

    I've been lurking for a while in the background on AZ and have finally decided to actually post something... I'm a novice player looking to buy a first cue sometime next month. For the most part I've narrowed it down to the Schmelke M080 and the Players E-3305 or E-3100. The linen wraps I've...

    Wooden Cue Case value?

    I'm not a gentleman, haha, but I may be interested. Looking to get my first cue in two to three weeks (hopefully), so it would be nice to have a case all ready to go once I decide on a cue. I would like to see pictures of the inside of the case before choosing to purchase it though. Not too hung...
