I personally think the show does a very poor job of actually trying to get good matches, and are more interested in drama. I sort of watch it while reading while my wife watches it. Last week's episode had the couples playing pool (poorly). I noticed that at least two of the cues didn't have...

Probably won't work on an old blood stain, but cold water works great on a fresh stain. I assisted a friend who had a nosebleed in a Church that he was not familiar with (guided to the restroom). He was holding an old white handkerchief to stop the bleeding. While he dealt with it using...

Maybe he hit a gear. In my history, I have played almost perfect pool three times for about an hour each time. One match, I lost the first two games which took 45 minutes (both playing bad). Opponent takes a Restroom break, and doesn't get to shoot again, except for 3 dry breaks. I had run...

Would homeowners liability insurance apply? Doesn't make sense to me that it would, but neither did my brother's kid throwing rocks at another brother's 1969 Roadrunner (before restoration) and breaking the windshield. Insurance company paid for new glass.

In 1987, Tommy Kennedy did not show up for his match in the morning of the VNEA Masters. He was shooting very good, so I was looking forward to see another match. Heard that he was in a two man tournament the night before with his next opponent on the bracket and they played for that match in...

About 8 years ago, I sold two exercise devices on eBay. I printed the shipping label through eBay, giving the dimensions of the package, and the rate was about $18 each. When I was at the USPS counter, the postmaster came over to look at them and demanded an additional $17 for each box...

A highlight of my pool playing days was when I was sent to Nashville for two weeks for work. As I was driving through the city, I noticed a sign welcoming Pro Pool players, so I turned around and checked it out. $75 entry fee, and $20 per day to watch. I figured I would be there for two...

I bought a Huebler break/jump cue in 1992. After the first break, it snapped between the two joints. I called the company, sent the cue in, and received a new one within a week. I agree with Schmelke as a good cue. Dufferin would have been a good option IMO at the time. I have two in...

From the Minnesota Pool Association website, regarding slow play. They keep track of how long each player's matches take. Slow Player Statistics for the Current Season 07/01/2022 to 02/03/2023 These are lists by Player Rating of all the players that have played at least 3 matches this season...

Maybe Shane's shoes had microchips in them? That would make them smart.

Reminds me of a VNEA tournament in Vegas or Reno, where Shane's Mom was called out for a dress code violation. I think it might have been that too much leg was visible. The solution that she and the team came up with was to tear apart a top and wear it around her waist so they could play...

So, a top notch player should be coaching his opponent? What is player B is eyeing a position on the table that is obviously the wrong play, should Player A stop him and say "You should really play it this way", Or you have a great safe here and should play that instead. Wrong shot is the...

If Shane would have stopped him and let him know that he was shooting the wrong ball, would that then be a coaching foul on Shane and Tate would get ball in hand?

What about using side to side curling motions to slow a ball down. I don't believe it works, but sometimes is funny. Probably not funny in a game that means anything.

I consider such language as junior high level.
