I’ve played APA, BCA, and bar league with modified bar rules. I liked BCA the best for play but didn’t like their fees, most of the money went to the top two teams , and it’s to long with 33 weeks to finals. APA was enjoyable but drags on too late and you don’t get any money back. I liked the...

Any classes in the Fresno area the last 2 weeks of November?

Detergent wash, vinegar rinse, shop vac out the water, sit in front of a fan for 2 or 3 days or until dry to the touch then, thrown in rice, cat liter or baking soda for a few days to get any remaining moisture out. Or you can mail it to me for disposal.<gggg>>

I'm very confident that I can make that duck sitting in front of the hole. Then, up steps cocky and a big miss. I practice to know that I have the confidence to make more of a particular shot then I will miss. That gives me a slight edge.

Varies with the individual. I know a bar maid that started playing at 19 and in 3 months was beating the pants off of 70% of the regular players but she had one of the top players schooling her daily.

Now days all of my practice time is on coin table. I go the neighborhood bar to play and when the players get tired of being beat, usually after the 2nd or 3rd game, I’m left with no challengers. I practice with what I’m having trouble with or duplicating tough shots I’ve seen others make. Break...

Most definitely. I don't know how it affected me in my younger years but now in my senior years I rarely play well if I don't get +6 1/2 hrs. For myself I believe every component suffers, visual, coordination, and thinking.

Played with a $40 Players NP for 8 years before acquiring a second hand Players with a HXT shaft. Joints are still tight and shafts are still straight on both. I had to replace the ferule on the np but that was because of playing with a tip that needed changing. Best bang for the buck imho.

In the past I've had trouble getting a tip to stick to a pad. Never had a tip come off that was glued directly to a ferule. Does pads require a different glue?

I would like to know for the small bar tournaments. I've never seen anyone it. I use to buy them a beer or two but the new director doesn't drink.

Looks to be a good drill for CB positioning, also. Position only one OB on the table for each shot. 1) avoid scratch 2) move CB around to stop near each rail.

Copy World Wrestling Entertainment, and allow sharking in the televised pro events with anything goes.

I'm curious where do you retirees play and how often? I retired 12 years and spent 5 years fishing before getting back to my love for pool that I had when I was 20. Started practicing at an old small pool hall where the local kids hang out and with all the info online it really advanced my game...

Go to the bars on the night the teams are playing and talk to the captains. You may have to go back every few weeks until a team loses a player. I didn't get anywhere with the LO or website.

I mostly play in a bar on the Texas coast that does not allow powder nearly always has high humidity. Most of the time I don't have a problem when I keep my hands and cue clean and dry but I had to first sand the factory finish off the shaft. A glove would be nice but who wants to fool around...
