    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    These are my thoughts on it as well. I grew up through the transition, and the conversion to the bunt stroke is for real.

    Push shot foul?

    I can’t listen to the audio, but I see Pongers pointing to the handle area. Did the ref think he heard a double hit, and Pongers was saying it was the handle of the cue stick banging the rail?

    Tascarella Cue questions...for owners and previous owners...

    I’m not sure after this post whether I’m hungry or horny.

    Tascarella Cue questions...for owners and previous owners...

    Not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. I have said many times that when I got my Tascarella, I was shocked. It’s like the cue sings. I absolutely love shooting with this cue. It makes me very happy.

    Towns in Florida with established halls with 9’ tables

    I live in Clearwater, FL. I have 12 pool halls with 9’ tables within 30 minutes drive and another half dozen if we increase the drive to an hours. So, the St Pete area fits your ask.

    Isn’t pool supposed to be dead?

    Ha! We got lucky. We are at Griff's this past Sunday during the US Open 10-ball, and my buddy put his name up and got a table within a couple of minutes. I ended up playing more pool on a 7' Diamond than I have in 8 years!!!

    Isn’t pool supposed to be dead?

    It for sure isn't dead in Tampa Bay. I was at Brewlands in Clearwater last week, and every table ( about 18 7' Diamonds and 11 9' Diamonds) were in use. All the small tables were used by leagues. I had estimated well over 100 players. I have about 12 pool halls within 30 minute drive of me...

    Schon identified

    Old thread, but in case it comes up, don’t anyone call this an Acme thread. 1993 is when Evan introduced that pin, which was made to more tight tolerance, using CNC turning. It’s bullet-nosed piloted Schon undersized 5/16-14, and it fits all other Schon shafts of that thread. Someone...

    Chohan's book.

    Correct. Only the 7-ball. I believe Jerry Briesath created 7-ball.

    Chohan's book.

    $85 in my opinion is a steal for one pocket players. I remember when people were saying that $45 was too expensive for SMS and W1P when they first came out decades ago. Then they kicked themselves when they were out of stock.
