    What kind of spin to use on a power break. Myth debunked?

    What Pat is saying about tip placement is EXACTLY correct. There are several of you arguing with him about this without actually having gone through the effort to obtain the EXACT truth from your own proper set-up practices and experiments. Take the 9-ball out of the rack and replace it with...

    New Pool Room!!!!

    To JoeyA: Wa. State went non-smoking on Dec. 8, 2005. To Macaframa: Other than maybe (although it may not be necessary) getting the liquor license, also possibly making solid arrangements for decent food (NOT snacks!), also, as previously suggested, maybe putting a few video games (at least...

    Pimp My AZB Post!

    The above is what you have AT THE END of your code. It is incorrect, as the "/" is in the wrong place! It should look like this: [/img] All you have to do is change the position of your "/" to the front, and your inline image code should work.

    Tony the Cheat

    Someone's Reading Comprehension In Question ... M.C. says about mailman: I DID properly read your quote of the rule and have NO DISAGREEMENT with that quote. However, THIS is where the disagreement is -- JoeyA, in his original post, as copied and pasted here by mailman, says: Now, who was...

    Global Pool Tables

    Up here in NW Wa. State, there are quite a few Globals around. Also Dynamos, Valleys, Irving Kayes, Imperials, Qualities, American Games, Brunswicks, etc. -- you get the idea. Of all the above listed tables, considering ONLY the coin-op type you find in bars (which is what I think you're...

    Tony the Cheat

    Whaaa? <RANT> You have just disregarded the fact that Tony DID call a foul on the kid in their FIRST match, that Tony, being an experienced 1-Pocket player, KNEW was NOT A FOUL and then thought he could get away with this in front of a public forum. Even without prior discussion of rules...

    This auction ad link B.S. is killing me!!!

    KUDOs, Mike -- this is a very good solution. eBay will also send the odd pop-up once in a great while, but they are NON-invasive and inconsequential. I also hope this brings you clearer and better revenue!!! I don't have ANY eBay site in my HOSTS file -- ;) .

    This auction ad link B.S. is killing me!!!

    Your possible "problem" is STILL NOT SOLVED!!! Auctionads, like the other sites that use ROGUE POP-UPs that I talked about earlier, do NOT set their sites so that this nasty little pop-up comes up every time. THIS is where the COOKIE on your computer possibly comes in. The cookie is a...

    This auction ad link B.S. is killing me!!!

    Tx -- cookies do not redirect -- they only store a VERY SMALL (less than 1k) amount of ANONYMOUS (i.e., NON-PERSONAL, NON-IDENTIFICATION and NON-FINANCIAL/CREDIT) information on your computer and then relay it back to an originating site, in this case auctionads.com, to help focus and speed up...

    This auction ad link B.S. is killing me!!!

    Most of you are not "getting" it. There is no anti-virus, anti-spyware or anti-adware detector that will stop this. THIS IS A SIMPLE REDIRECTION LINK, as Von Rhett tried to explain. It takes you to a web page where code first inserts a COOKIE on your computer, then redirects you almost...

    just won free item from pro9 website !! new bridge type

    Yeah, I noticed that claim. The main problem I have with the construction is that an EXTREMELY SMALL area of the cue will be resting on the ball bearings, effectively two small POINTS of contact rather than the more widely distributed area of some of the better bridgeheads. While this may...

    Question about shafts, tips, and spin

    Another word of differentiation: Tips of similar hardness, but from different manufacturers, hold chalk with very dissimilar effectiveness and also grip upon cueball contact differently. To me, it seems that, for lack of a better description, the porosity of the Moori tip is like a match made...

    Play with a phenolic tip

    For the canvas-phenolic, PM Kevin Varney, who just posted above -- you won't be disappointed. The White Diamonds are a special layered fiber and resin combination made specifically for Break and Jump Cues. These tips bond equally as well as conventional leather tips using the SAME glues...

    Database moved - Please let me know of any issues.

    Image Atch Facility Not Working The database will NOT transfer an image file from my computer so that it can be attached and displayed in-line in messages I compose. I JUST tried this again over at the Test forum -- and YES, THE IMAGE I ATTEMPTED TO TRANSFER IS LESS THAN 100K. I have NEVER...

    Stack leather wrap questions

    Thanks, Chris -- you and I agree COMPLETELY with our separate experiences with the Stack Wrap, then. The tackiness part is what gives me the "rope burn" I described before, but there is also a subtle and deceptive slipperiness to this wrap until, like with the tackiness, the wrap is broke in...
