    Any pool halls? Where can I hit some balls?

    Why are we so obsessive?

    Because the people you're talking to are not players. Ask a serious golfer what drivers Tiger uses, I bet he knows.

    Sharked by Mother Earth

    If I'm ever lucky enough to get my opponent sharked by an act of nature, I think I'll go ahead and collect.

    What is the best excuse you've heard?

    There's a guy around here who has never missed a ball unless something caused it to happen. Usually it's just the table rolling off or some other standard excuse, however he occasionally gets really inventive. He once missed a ball because the establishment owner had the back door open, and...

    Lucasi cue

    Maybe that's why you're not in business. Players in my area all have flames and hot pink---and fiberglass.

    Does the table condition really matter??

    I agreee that it hurts the better playres more than the weaker ones, much like several other things in APA. For instance, not being able to push in 9 or having to "take what you make" in 8. They serve as an additional handicap to thinking players. A weak player is less likely to be affected by...

    9 Footers aint sh*t!!!

    Where I was playing in Florida it was free pool every day until 8 if you bought a drink or food, soda included. They also have a free "buffet" from 4-6 every day. It's really just one item, but it's free nonetheless. After 8 the rate is $8/hour. It's in Cape Coral, called Hustlers. Lots of...

    Slow Players What are you thinking about?

    When I started out, I had watched a lot of pool. My father is an excellent player and I had been to Derby City and Vegas a few times and seen a lot of top-flight play. When I came to the table, I could see what should be happening, but I didn't have the ability to execute those happenings. So I...

    When you're not playing Pool, what do you do?

    Thanks Joey. I used to shoot a lot, haven't been out lately though. That was a good dog, I don't have her anymore. Ex-girlfriend stole her. I'll let my dad know, lol.

    How do you know when you're ready to hit the ball?

    My dad is a strong player and he has a very strict preshot routine, but it's unconscious--and he never put work into it. I mentioned it one day and he said "oh, really?" He chalks his cue, puts the chalk down really emphatically--while looking at the shot, steps into the shot a certain way--and...

    When you're not playing Pool, what do you do?

    I play poker online full time and take photos. (can view 'em at http://photo.sejje.net/ ) I also do little bits of this and that mentioned above. I have a mustang (just one), I do some coding (not c, mostly web stuff/a little python), live on a great bass-fishing lake, and have been getting in...

    8 ball on thursday

    I don't understand these posts. This guy appears to just be a cuetec shill, as far as I can tell. If he is, why doesn't he get banned?

    Brunswick table ID

    Looks like one of them really small ones. Someone I know has a contender that's not even 3.5x7--it's a few inches short.
