Hello, Looking for a limited edition sp2 03-04 predator cue black/gray or gray/black. Would also consider P3’s that are black, blue or gray with a black leather wrap or anything that looks remotely like the two things I specifically mentioned. Let’s see those cues! Thanks

Yeah that could have worked. My opponent was a run out player that had basically two hanging balls, so i guess my mind wasn't on the safety in that situation. I also could have gotten out relatively easily if i didn't block my 2 with his 10, which i think is why i was on offence more than...

The one does go by and it was near frozen/his stripe was off the rail by a tad. Sorry, i suck at creating these chaulkypad things. The only balls that had a pocket at that point from where i was were the 1 in that corner and the four only went in that upper right pocket (from the overhead view)

So i mentioned it wasn't exact because it was hard to put the 1 ball exactly where it really was. I was able to throw the 1 ball in that corner with a ton of left english and that's where bad roll #1 happened. After hitting the one as soft as i could at pocket speed with left english, i...

No, not without a curve shot.

So i recently had that big tournament with 1 rack matches for the trip to Hawaii. This rack came up to me after i broke, made 2-3 balls and scratched. My opponent missed after making a stripe with ball in hand, leaving me with solids and a difficult out. I feel i got screwed with two rolls that...

Let me know when they come for your opinion on the matter, i'll hold my breathe. Point is, they are trying to make money and grow the sport. Limiting people who can come is not how you accomplish that. I would give you another example to help you get it, but you will just try to pick it apart...

That's a pretty close minded thought process. Imagine if Bob Kraft wanted to make Gillette stadium smaller and open to 90% patriots fans and 10% away team. You think that's an intelligent business model? As people said above, you want more butts in more seats. Doesn't matter if they are team...

Here's my tale of playing Bustamante for $10 bucks a rack. I heard Bustie was going to be at snookers doing challenge matches and figured i had to get in on the action. I wasn't able to do a whole challenge match, as i was too late, but i did get in a couple games. I walk into Snookers in...

What do you suggest? I didn't bring on this hostile, uncivil environment and i never once encouraged it. I am good with everyone in my pool room besides this guy, who i've found most people i know also don't like him for similar reasons. I didn't stir the pot with this guy, i just feel i'm being...

Eh you're probably right...

Good point. It may not really be worth it, but is there another way to get used to it? If i can deal with this guy who really gets under my skin, i should be able to deal with randoms, right? As painful as it may be, i understand that the mental game is a big part of pool and want to be well...

True, but remember, this match was against another fellow, not the guy sharking me. That was in the match with the guy who opened up our match by saying, "If you win, don't expect me to shake your hand." The friend of the guy who sharked me. My friend later told me that the guy i beat was told...

I think you're definitely right. Do you think its possible to overcome it in a different day with the same person? I want to say i can put it aside and play my game, but its hard to say knowing that i already fell for his shenanigans.

No, i did not. It's a tournament i have only played once before and i play in three different 8 ball leagues - two are call shot and one is slop. I wanted to know as it would have drastically altered that rack of 8 ball if it was call shot, which i had hoped it was. I asked him before he even...
