    3 Cushion has killed carom

    I did a bit of traveling and came upon the realisation that 3 cushion is killing, or has killed carom. While in Vietnam it was not even mildly hard to find a carom table, but it was near impossible to find a pool or snooker table. They only seem to play libre in Vietnam, but the level of play I...

    Why would someone NOT want an LD shaft???

    Not the same story at all, but shooting UP a snooker table, you will often have to aim to miss by more than a ball. Though this is the nap, not whatever that other dude was talking about.

    Why would someone NOT want an LD shaft???

    I play english billiards and balkline mostly, and regularly masse with my OB pro. While large half table pique is hard, and I don't get enough speed for 3 cushion, I find I actually have more control on the little touch masse/pique shots where you are trying to keep the balls together.

    Predator thinnest stick

    Have you looked into OB or Lucasi? They have much thinner sticks than predator. While I would recommend the OB, they are thin and have a very neutral/forward ballance. Though Lucasi do Uniloc, and it's easy to get them supplied with a predator shaft. The lucasi option might suit better than...

    The difference between Pool Pros and Amateurs

    You have to be pretty close to the source if current in the pool for it to actually do anything. The real issue here is the fact that the board is going to fry, and short their fuses, damage their wiring, and ruin their lunch!

    Dumb things you do to lose

    We talking awe? Or do you just think that balls are cue?

    My view of the financial viability of pool halls, and what has to change.

    The reason the Korean place was making money, was because the owner was putting all his money back into the place. The house cues were nicer than my own cue. And he was putting all his time back into it as well. Teaching people what he knew. And it worked. They had people visiting from all over...

    My view of the financial viability of pool halls, and what has to change.

    In terms of the second example, it may not be that relevant considering your location, and the property you are looking at. They were based on the second floor of an office building, so the rent was a lot less than you are going to get for a street level square in the stripmall that will give...

    My view of the financial viability of pool halls, and what has to change.

    While I am not a room owner, I worked in one for a few years, and am also heavily connected with a large hall at the moment. So let me know if I do not meet the criteria to post, and I will remove my post, but I thought you might want to hear a point of view from a country(NZ) where pool is in a...

    Fake 314-2 Shafts

    I don't understand why you wouldn't trust Mr Soong here. His post was to warn other forum members. I don't understand why anyone would lie about this. He even offered to arrange a fake for a fellow member to inspect (blue hog). The information he wasn't sure on was if there were any AZB member...

    Fake 314-2 Shafts

    Predator is a marketing company. Pretty sure they would have done enough market research to know that there are potential fakes out there. Aside from the fact that we know Mr Soong has seen a fake before, we have no information that would be useful to Predator. It would be best for Mr Soong to...

    Fake 314-2 Shafts

    If you read the original post of the thread, Mr Soong mentions how they were quite open about it, and were looking for someone to sell these fakes overseas. Obviously if Chady was involved, they would already had a channel to market, and would not have required Mr Soong. Asside from that, Mr...
