proceed with caution.....and keep the car running in the alley.

until you piss off the wrong guy and get your ass shot dead.

my small home town in Illinois, about 2000 pop. there was a woman who always wanted to be around the money, Little League, Girl Scout cookies, summer camps, etc. to the point that the town wised up and just didn't let "Betty" be the treasurer anymore. she never stole it all, but a hundred...

They should beat every nickel out of this guy, and then kick his ass again, just for good measure.

yeah, similar story here in Atlanta about1995, local room is running a small dollar cash 8 ball team league. gets to the end and the payoff is about a third of what it should be. Me....being a financial auditor, told him hey, x teams for x weeks at x dollars a week equals a pot of xxx dollars...

I use my brain a lot more playing pool than I ever did in school. ok....medium cut on the ball in the corner, but I have to use high right running english to get up table, but that will throw the ball to the left a bit, so I need to cut it a bit less, or cheat the pocket, 0but I need enough...

I have Joss and Schon cues, and I can't tell any difference between how they play, probably because the same idiot is shooting the shots. Firm hit with SS joint, same weight, same shaft...original pre-cat 314 Predator. very similar.

well, a fool and his money are soon parted, I pulled the trigger on a Bizu playing shaft. $103 total, no tariff, no sales tax, no shipping charges. I've wasted more money on dumber stuff over the years. Ordered from their website on Sunday, shaft just arrived!!!! 3 days from Hong Kong...

as a novice, when the light was beginning to flicker just a tiny bit, the most frustrating thing was only getting half the shot right.....make the ball, miss the position or miss the ball and roll whitey just right....I was just a half-assed player.

basic tips.... keep a firm bridge hand keep a loose butt/stroke hand stay down on the shot practice sleep under the table wake up, practice more repeat the last 3 for about 70 years

too easily forged.

this ball looks like the set I played about 70 years ago when I first started...1955 or so.

What tip is on the Bizu brand carbon fiber playing shafts?? I have looked all over their website and can't find it Or I am blind. TIA

I may be wrong, but I don't think this law is in effect currently. On a gun forum I am on, this was discussed at length, but ended up being much ado about nothing, as enactment was postponed.

always been a rule for me, I started playing in 1956 at age 9.
