    What makes a custom cue expensive?

    Hand made things cost more than things pushed out in mass quantity by a machine or third world laborers. How is this not obvious?

    SVB cheating? Shaw/SVB Derby 9 Ball

    Came here for the first time in awhile just to read on this. Knew there would be a drama thread, lol People manipulate the rack on rack your own. Cry about it if you want, but dont throw a hissy fit mid match. He wasn't *****ing when he made the wing ball early on, was he? People are gonna...

    APA League Night Strategy Issue

    Who cares? Just play whoever they throw up and move on. APA (or any pool league) is not some giant chess match of strategy, and if you think it is or should be, you're doing it wrong. If you think someone is pulling some Machiavellian move in week 3 by subbing a 3 for a 2....good grief. Even if...

    The most impressive pool playing that you have ever witnessed?

    Personally witnessed.... 1. About 20 years ago I watched Dan Louie playing a good shortstop level player at the 211 Club in Seattle. I sat back and watched with a few people. Dead silent. Dan obviously knew the guy (they were meeting up just to play, did not see money change hands). Watched...

    Hard Times

    This is 100% spot on true. I always heard this back in Arizona, and then tested it a few times with a nice digital meter ( <3 SRP) that tracked usage by the minute. It's true. Don't shut it off and then turn it on full blast when you want it, set it at the comfortable level and LEAVE IT...

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    All ages pool halls are few and far between, and generally only exist in areas/states that allow consumption of alcohol with minors present. Kids don't have money. They want to, at best, hang out with friends and kill time, not spend money. This is also why malls are dying. The all ages approach...

    The Average Salary of a Professional Pool Player

    $30k?! You can make more than that unloading boxes off trucks at the post office, fedex, or UPS. You can make that much being a flagger on construction sites. Hell, that's like $12 or $13 an hour or something for a full time worker? Good god, that's pathetic. I know pool is a dying/dead sport...

    So what's the deal with glove hatred in the pool room?

    "stupidity" "mindless" Now "openly, discuss, would you?" congrats on the POT MEET KETTLE butthurt personal attack irony award for the year. Shafts are not magic fly traps. If they are sticky, it is because they are not clean. Protip for any window lickers like yourself out there...

    So what's the deal with glove hatred in the pool room?

    Because those gloves are gay and useless. Wash. Your. F*cking. Hands. Often. Then: dry them. Congrats, you don't need a lame ass glove.

    Pool tournament@Casino= Warning!!

    Without going into too many details: the stories about reading the mint marking on a coin are absolutely bullshit if you're talking about the parking lot. The fixed cameras over gaming tables DO have ridiculous resolution, and can look at details on bills (or even coin if one was on a table)...

    San Jose vs The Beard.

    Fair enough, but that's just another form of "Chicago is the best in the world at...." "Corruption!" ;)

    San Jose vs The Beard.

    Chicago is like the city version of Canada. Its a great place, with lots of great things going for it, but culturally the people from there are always butthurt and overcompensating because it is overshadowed by Big Brother. There's the reason Chicago people always claim their city and its...

    Pool halls in Phoenix, AZ

    "Oh yeah I know all about kolby's...I was there once. Once. Ten years ago. Oh Bullshooters? I drove by there once. All the other places in town (that I've never been to) are just bars with tables." OP take all the advice from the more...vociferous in this thread with a huge grain of salt...

    Did I ruin my balls?

    Penicillin. At least, that's what the doc gave me the last time my balls looked like that. Maybe a kerosene dip?

    There is this guy that wants to know how much his original Balabushka cue is worth.

    Or charging a FEE for accident scene photos...it's the scummy ambulance chaser way.
