any pocket A$$hole any pocket A$$hole - said after slopping in a ball in APA 8 ball

question to division rep . . . Around 2001, I moved and my old APA division was too far of a drive. I was very happy to find a new room with 14 9 footers and even happier when they started an in house APA division. The same league operator was in charge of this division and asked me to be...

"sandbagger" Its quite common in our APA division to be accussed of sandbagging after winning a match in very few innings. Obviously a true sandbagger would do the opposite, but this logic is lost to many.

A little drive to Ayer You are probably less than 30 minutes from the Billiards Cafe in Ayer. 495 North to Route 2 East to 110. 110 takes you through a rotary past a McDonalds and you end up in "downtown" Ayer. The Cafe is on your right. On street parking or park behind the building. They...

Really? "Someone burned ST into the cue" Da, I'm so stupid, I don't even know that it is TS. "I found this cue in Baltimore." Made by an "unkown" cue maker. With all due respect, if you can't see this as a scam, you really shouldn't be hanging around in pool halls with American money...

yes she is good looking, but; Yes, she is good looking. Yes, she plays great pool. But don't you find it troubling that women pool players feel the need to be sex symbols as well? I mean, can you imagine Efren or Earl posing for glamour shots and then posting them on a web site? Even the...

Considering that there are 3x6 and even some 4x8 cases out there, I wonder what people carry in them. Do people have various shafts of different taper or do they have mutiple shafts of the same taper, perhaps with different tips? Also, do people use different butt and shaft combinations...

deleted by me - trying to do a poll

how many and what type of butt/shaft combos do you have in your bag?

ok seriously Ok seriously, I hadn't read a single reply before posting mine. Then I page up and see all this anti vs. pro pot stuff. When I think "smoking" I think cigs. Cigs are dumb. I did it and I was dumb, or ignorant, or stupid or something. I smartened up enough to quit. I might...

smoking is so last century without reading any replies, this is mine Smoking is so 20th century. Its time we all made it history. (Except for pot of course) Pot is history for me, but I begrudge no one else the experience.

I started playing with a 314 a few years ago. I then decided to try the Z. At first I really loved it, but then thought the extra skinny tip was exagerating off center hits and making me less accurate. Bought the 314 2 and loved it. Then decided to try Z 2. Same results - off center hits =...

what ever happened to... Didn't he used to be "general forum nuisance?" now he's back to "pro player" I enjoy the random TT post as much as anyone, but I think GFN is more appropriate than PP. Number 2, "make it so!"

Thanks for the heads up So far all I see is Shane warming up. I hope Cliff is warming up on a different table:o

I'm not sure that's quite right As I remember, in APA, breaking your cue down is not loss of game, but is considered a "sportsmanship" infraction. Repeated sportsmanship offenses (sharking, slow play, etc) might result in penalties from the league operator. In my experience, the opposing...
