This was my reaction too. My advice would be to buy a McDermott Lucky and take care of it.

This is not photoshop (it's also not the norm.)

On the surface, this game has some similarities to Cowboy. I watched a rack and a half of the introduction video and I will give it a try later but it seems to me that you're making 9-ball harder without adding any real benefit to the players. In other words, if I come to the table shooting at...

In my garage, I did 2'x2' carpet tiles from home depot. There's no padding on them and they wreck my knees unless I wear shoes.

I wear one when it's humid. I don't waste my time and energy caring about what other people wear or don't wear.

At first I thought the idea of bringing your chair was ridiculous, then I spent 2 hours sitting on a metal chair waiting to play a league match. Now it looks like a pretty sensible idea.

League players who don't know the rules they're playing by and then arguing about said rules.

Thanks! I'm almost 50. I've been playing about 10 years but it wasn't until the last year that I really have been focusing on my game and have been motivated to improve. (I've been doing a lot of work on my stroke and speed control.) I really haven't been playing much 14.1. The closest poolrooms...

Thanks! I ordered a copy from eBay. Should be here by the end of the week.
