When I owned my poolroom, I changed to new cue balls every year and I changed one balls every two years. Every five years we repaced the entire set. This wear level was in my tournament room where the better players were. Ken, former owner of Hard Times in Bellflower CA

I did not enjoy general admission. But I am very interested in attending if they have assigned seats.

Shaft size and tip size can be different. By using a step down or a step up ferrule. Ernie at Ginacue has used this idea before. You can be comfortable with the shaft feel and choose any size tip. This is an old idea. In the 60's, I saw straight pool players using 14.5 tips on 12.5 shafts...

Yes, 8ball on 7' tables is a great game.

That was long ago. I, also, made 7 balls playing 9ball vs Ernesto D. on a big table. Well that's my claim to fame. lol

Frank, This happened to me. I made all 7 stripes on the break - was hooked on the 8 - and kicked it in. This was "you are what you make". If it was "open" after the break, I would have tried to run out. It was the strangest break have ever seen. All stripes and no solids!!!

Yes he did, again! GOAT!!!

You have me LOL !

Happy Birthday Keith!!!

SJD, thanks for the great pool stories. Cooney and "Little " Richie are two of my all time favorites also.

"Little Al" I agree. - At Hard Times Bellflower.

The voice of reason!!! If someone gets lucky it is better than this "call shot" problem.

I agree 100%. Short races are presure packed and require a different mind set than longer races.

I think one women player on each team is a great idea. Bring it back!

Exactly right! Not football - Just play their game. imho
