    Tip wear just from chalking?

    314-2 ferrule replacement and Kamui soft (brown) $60. Normal tank of petro (16 gal.) $43.00. I fill up every 5 days. I replace my ferrule every 8-10 years. I’m not upset about the cost of either. And, I’m old enough to have seen gas at $.24/gal and $4.++. For what it provided me, seemed like a...

    Game 7, of the first set, is one for the highlight reels. Crazy cue ball control by both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Seyberts exorbitant shipping charges?

    It’s very likely tariffs are being passed on, item by item, in the shipping line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wrapless pool cues

    I use the wrap as a reference point for placement of my back hand. I assume that could be an advantage of a wrapped cue. [emoji2369] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No Gambling Sign

    The club I play in has a “No Gambling Aloud” sign but the gamblers seem to be the ones making the most noise. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

    I like the idea of having good cues for guests to play with. I rarely have any adults over that I wouldn’t trust with my better cues. I do have 1-piece Dufferins and a handful of McDermott Luckys and Stars for the kids and less respectful adults to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bergman will play WNT events in 2026

    Do you know Bergman? Is it true he hates airplanes? I’ve also heard he is germaphobic. I doubt that is true but I don’t know him personally so, who knows? I do play just outside his home area and occasionally play people who do know him. I’ve never heard anyone who knows him to say he won’t...

    A visit with Nick Varner (plus new Joss cue)

    If “all around” is defined as, straight pool, 1-pocket, 8-ball, 9-ball and banks, Nick is easily the best ever, imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is the worst roll you have ever seen?

    Not the classic “bad roll” but Skylar got an awful roll, against Shaw in the Mosconi, on the lag! Not positive but I think it was 2023. I’m not tech savvy enough to post the video, but he scratched on the lag! [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Playing for cash money in 2025?

    I’m surprised to hear that. I’m not far from the StL area and figured it still a hot bed for 1-pkt. I watch $20 - $50 games everyday. I don’t play 1-pkt well, so I don’t play but I watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Playing for cash money in 2025?

    Where I play, it is usually $10, $20 or $50 a set. Mostly races to 4,5 or 7 in both 8-ball and 9-ball. Not much 10-ball played but if it is, it’s the same as 8 & 9 ball. The longer the race, the more $. We also play the APA Amateur race to 7, 5 games of 8-ball and 8-games of 9-ball. Usually for...
