Taking a trip to Glendale this weekend and am looking for a laid back bar with a couple of pool tables. My brother and I like to hit the balls around. He is an APA 3 so I'm not looking for a place where he would be unable to compete

I currently use a Jacoby with a Z2 shaft. I have been using Z2s for around 10 years. I tried the hybrid shaft ( turned down to, I think 12.5 ) which came with the Jacoby and a Z3 and always went back to the Z2. My Z2 is well used and I am thinking of getting.a new shaft. Unfortunately, I...

My brother and I will be visiting Dallas next weekend to take in the TCU - Ohio State game. We are staying at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel on Olive street. We are looking for a place to have a few beers, put up some quarters and play a little pool. Just looking for a ice bar to have a little fun...

Predator Blak3-2 with Z3 shaft in mint condition - barely used. Will sell butt and shaft separately ---- $700 ---

no longer play in the APA with the 23 limit. I just gave the skill level so that people would have an idea how I play. I currently play APA masters and NAPA. If jump cues are not allowed in APA masters it is an unenforced rule as jump cues come out with great frequency.

I need a little help in selecting a jump cue. I'm an APA 7. When I compare my skill level to other 7s I'd say that I am right in the middle of the pack. I am also probably the only 7 who doesn't jump. I gave it a try a couple of years ago when I was using a Stinger jump/break. I had...

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents I've been playing pool for going on 50 years. Some years less than others ( raising kids ) but still a damn long time. In my opinion, it depends on the individual player, their skill level and how they play the game. Everyone's style of play is just a little...

It may be just taste For me a soft follow shot regardless of side english is the most accurate. I find that if I need to put pace on a ball low english is way more accurate. If I shoot a long relatively straight shot I will also use low. The hardest follow shot I ever shoot is mid table...

I know! I Know! If it's a first for the industry it has to be a way to actually make me play a good game of pool...

That's kind of why I asked the question about people's preferences. I actually found a third chart on ebay http://www.ebay.com/gds/Pool-Cue-Tips-Hardness-Guide-and-what-works-/10000000023182381/g.html this chart also is different from the first two. So much conflicting information make this...

I have been playing pool for a very long time and this is the one area which escapes me. OK, one of many. I just don't use enough tips to have any feel for how one tip plays verses another. I'd say I play with a new tip once a year - and that includes tips on new shafts. To further confuse...

Actually I did look at the 8K cues. The one I like is the 8k-4, $863.10. The Blak3-1 costs $890.10. For less than $30 it's a toss up.

I'm considering buying a Predator Blak3-1. I would like to hear from anyone with experience with this cue. What do you like? dislike? Are you happy with your purchase?

I know this has been discussed before but I thought I'd like to see if anyone has any additional information. I'm currently using and old Meucci demo cue with a Z2 shaft. Since I switched to the Z2 my game has generally improved and I'm really quite happy with the way it plays. The cue is old...
