You might want to check eBay or post in the Buy/Sell section on here too, stuff like this pops up out of nowhere sometimes. Hope you manage to track one down!

Haha, a TrackMan for pool would actually settle so many endless forum debates! But Bob hit the nail on the head, tightening up and trying to 'muscle' it always ruins the stroke

Stop improvising with small trailers or you will break your back for nothing. When I moved a heavy table a year ago, I struggled with a pickup and almost broke all the slate on the potholes. So I called Marcus Allard Truck Rental and got a properly equipped van with ramps and safety space. You...

I have used a few creams for back pain and the one that worked best for me was the CBD cream from Joy Organics . I rub it on my lower back before I start playing and it takes the edge off the soreness. It does not fix the problem but it makes it more manageable. A back brace might help for...

Maybe a 2. The cue doesn't fix your stroke. A Schmelke with a good tip is fine. The high-end stuff feels nicer and might inspire confidence but it won't suddenly make you run racks. I'd say it's mostly placebo. If you're missing balls, it's not the cue.

Get a digital postal scale with a flat surface. They're accurate and you can lay the cue flat. Look for one that measures in grams and ounces. Capacity of at least 5 pounds is enough. $20-30 on Amazon. No need to hold it upright.

Apple Green on the Diamond and Powder Blue on the GCIV sounds like a solid combo. Light colors definitely help with visibility, especially if lighting isn't great. Tournament blue is the standard for a reason but it's nice to mix it up. Just make sure the balls pop against the color. Shark Gray...

A brace might help short term, but it won’t fix the reason your back is flaring from all the leaning. I got to the point where I needed a chiropractor for my low back, and Revival Chiropractic near Orlando was fine for getting me moving again, but the real fix was core work and changing how long...

Unfortunately, cue value depends heavily on verifiability and originality. No logo makes it tough for future buyers to authenticate it without paperwork, and turned-down shafts almost always ding performance appeal. Even if you know it’s a Bella Sera, the market doesn’t go on trust, it goes on...

Honestly, anyone posting Gold Crown Ball Polishers in bulk should’ve raised red flags and a cue stick.

I used to think talc was totally harmless, just part of the pool kit. But there’s been a lot of noise lately about health risks tied to long-term use, especially with powders containing talcum. It’s not just hype either, there’s a talcum powder lawsuit that’s been growing for years now, with...

I have this letter that should be on display. Read the message to induct Cowboy Jimmy Moore into the BCA Hall of fame. I have played pool in many places, I was a member of the BCA. Now at my age I must let go of many of my memories including playing Mr. Cowboy Jimmy Moore at Doc & Eddies and...

At 72 it is very frustrating, some of the young people don't want to listen to us anyway. There should be a senior division.

Due to age / For sale. The Original letter from Mr. Willie Mosconi to induct "Cowboy" Jimmy Moore into the BCA hall of fame. This is on Mr. Mosconi's letterhead. Dated June 17, 1988. I will check my inbox after the Christmas and New Years Holidays.
