Post Toasties I always want to post, I almost never want to play one set, so if I lose I pay out of my pocket with the money on the light posted for the next set. If my opponent loses and wants to play another set we leave the money on the light for the next set and settle up On the rare...

My Preference I am always happy if I was not playing my best, but found a way to take home the dough. But there have been many times where I put my self knowingly into a cheap game I am not expected to win even if I play my best and played well beyond my expectations and lost and was very very...

Shirts Have you thought about http://leagueshirts.com/ they advertise and sponsor on fastLenny's stream alot.It would be good to move some buisness their way.

jump cues in one pocket Jump cues are not normally allowed in one pocket. if you jump you MUST use you playing cue. Of course if two people are gambling all things are up for negotiation. MY personal feeling is that I would be happier if jump cues were not allowed. but I also confess I carry...

My 2 Cents I play with a Meucci sneaky pete that I ordered from Meucci with two black dot shafts one has a black ferrule. I absolutely love the way it hits balls. I have tried both predator shafts and like the Black dot. I think OB shafts hit the ball really, really good but the ferrule is...

There is more than one way to skin a cat; Most replies have been with the idea that you must hit the five. A different line of thought maybe... You are in such a pickle that it will be hard to hit to kick the five and control the five ball. How about cutting the seven into the long rail then...

Meucci ID have you tried the Meucci website? Send a pic to sales@meuccicues.com and ask for their help IDing the cue. I am willing to wager they will do it for you. Their website changed not too long ago, Bob use to have old catalog pics up on the site prior to it changing.

1st Cue My best advice would be to see if you can borrow a cue from someone that you know at the pool hall; Explain to them that you are interested in purchasing a cue but can't decide. There should be a few players with an extra sneaky pete that they own and no longer use. Play with it for...

Pro Players By Pro I assume you mean the player makes the Majority of their income from playing pool. I don't have a problem with it. I have had several sets in tournaments that I dogged the flip and had the set ran out on me.But one thing I do dislike is when "A" level players show up to our...

I remember when Tony Watson came to Dallas and looked like he was 12. He was up at CJ's giving Robert Clark a MONSTER spot. I could not believe how incredible he played.

I use to work at pool and a few of the older guys back then would state prior to matching up if they had to quit by a certain time because of prior commitments. I never had problem with this because we would play again. As long as no one is doing anything nitty ( like coming in thursday with 60...

Very nice pics, Thanks for sharing

I was wondering if anyone on the forums plays or has played with a Meucci Black Dot Shaft? I play with one and love it I like the feel of a thin diameter shaft but the original meucci shafts had more flex in them and that I didn't like. I know it's all personal to the feel of each person...

Earl's Equipment As I understand it he changes his equipment fairly regularly. I saw the stream earlier against Archer. Wasn't there a rule made up about the max weight of cue back in the mid 90's? I seem to recall Mc Dermott putting out a break cue that was like 28oz
