    I finally got it!

    I’ve always hated when right before the match they semi-jokingly hit you with “Take it easy on me”. ( then they open with a two pack lol ). That phrase always kinda took me out for a second. Almost felt like sharking. My mind is ready to go to war and it’s like they’re saying “please don’t...

    Best Pool Player you saw alive, regardless.

    Wiktor Zieliński on the practice table. Never seen him play like that in a match. It was unbelievable. You could just tell he was not gonna miss a ball in a long time and he didn’t... Sky made about 15 tough banks in a row just messing around.. Mika was on fire. Actually I’m still easily...

    Changing a pin on a vintage butt, too risky or easy?

    When I wrote “people” I was referring to pro cuemakers in my area. Came in here to get a second option. Oh well. My cuemaker said it was too risky. Which could mean he’s just too busy for this small job.

    Changing a pin on a vintage butt, too risky or easy?

    The cue is not valuable just like the design. Don’t care about resale value. But have heard trying to change the pin is dumb cause too many things can go wrong.

    Changing a pin on a vintage butt, too risky or easy?

    I hear heating it up and pulling out is risky if epoxy was used cause the butt can crack. Also the cue might not roll straight once the new pin is installed. I also hear it’s an easy job. Which one is it? How much should I be paying to take out a 3/8x10 or 5/16x18 pin and installing a 5/16x14...

    Which production cue with 5/16x14 pin looks like this?

    Looking for a beater that hits good to keep in the trunk in case I end up at a dive bar. Don’t wanna take my nice cues out near drinkers anymore. Doesn’t have to be wrapless but must be 5/16x14 cant be black cant be loaded and cant have a steel collar. What comes to mind? Not looking for a true...

    What tip you do you play with?

    First pros that come to mind: Mickey is shooting with Ko brothers Soft now, Albin with How medium, SVB with How hard, Mitch with Victory medium, Sky & John still use techno-dud… I think which tip brand you use matters less than people think. I hate Taom Fusion tips otherwise I can shoot with...

    Nobody watches pool?

    Not to be pessimistic, but a million views in 2024 is nothing. That’s a very niche sport. 150 mil is the beginning of something.

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    He wont play me 1 hole so doubt he’ll try to soft break and move. He’s hoping to 2-3-pack his way to the finish line most likely.

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    His backer already insisted on a wooden rack and I said fine. Cant say too much cause I think they’re on azb. Yeah my break is pretty controlled scratching on the break is death on a barbox but it can still happen to anyone.

    I do lots of half table drills yes, but it’s still not the same. The break, etc

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    I play for corners and less for sides on barboxes I think and I’m probably more aggressive on 7 footers. Yeah there are little things like that, jumping on barboxes can be tougher sometimes too..

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    I’m flying out of state next month to play 10b, 3 sets on a barbox ( diamond ), 3k a set, races to 15. I’m the favorite on paper ( fargo ) but I haven’t been playing. The problem is I only have a 9’ diamond at my place and the closest diamond barbox to me is 40 min away. The break is obviously...
