Here people (team members or opponents alike) tend to say "hard-luck" to you repeatedly whenever your shot has any kind of negative aspect to it, regardless of intent. You could shoot the cueball directly into the pocket and if you're playing league you'd immediately hear 4-5 people repeatedly...

I've got arthritic knees, the doctor was very surprised at my age (45) to have them. Played almost every day for multiple hours during a maybe 20 year period the wear and tear adds up, being a little overweight didn't help either. Neil

Aki now owns the Leeward Bowling Alley in Pearl City, he is doing well and is a very decent bowler to boot. Neil

Looks like a cheap import, not worth anything, I hope I'm wrong though and someone chimes in with better info. Neil

Ariel Carmeli used to make fun of me when we worked at Best Billiards because I used to try out cues by hitting the balls very firmly, what can I say I'm a banger. One time he asked me why I tested cues that way and I didn't really have a real answer but told him "all cues hit basically the same...

I've also got the Cocobolo cue and absolutely love it, have always liked his cues and feel lucky to have picked one up since they're not very common. The cue came with 4 shafts, 2 Predator and 2 stock, and am thinking about sending it off to get a 314-3 matched to it but might have to sacrifice...

I can offer a possible source, at the time that these cues were in the works Predator had a very sticky handed clerk with a "problem" that used to take cues then pawn them, under his real name, for very little money....under $50 even though he knew they were worth over $1k. He was caught...

Maybe if I feel froggy I'll type it out on a Word document to save it to an easier media type, thank you for the link/info on the article it's a great read. Neil

Maybe his IP is one that has been coming to the website for the 3 years but he only signed up recently? That would be my guess, a very uneducated one I'll admit to but I figure IP is the way they track a lot of usage. Neil

Just ordered one of these and for $149 I don't see how you can go wrong, am 90%+ sure it would fit the cues/wraps you're talking about: https://www.seyberts.com/predator-case-4x8-blak Hope this helps, Neil

A TedX talk spoke about something like this, the person was talking about how we are setting ourselves up for failure the more we try make an accurate business model and prepare for every conceivable setback instead of just opening the business and changing things as you go. Of course this is a...

Wow great match PLUS they have a $25 clinic before the match, something for everyone at this event!! Neil

You play well I'll take the 8-ball and play cheap sets, taking into account just the league matches your Fargo rating should be 579 sorry they can't include your gambling matches but those aren't recorded (for tax purposes). Sound about right? Neil

At this point it seems pretty clear of the rule, it's there but hardly enforced and won't fly if you're playing an International-level event....if there were such a thing for one pocket. Neil

Wish people would mail to Hawaii on some items, even on Amazon they won't ship certain electronics....*sigh*. Neil
