    May want to avoid purchasing an X-Breaker

    This is only like the 8th person in the past 4 weeks to have a negative thing to say about their purchase.Normally I would chalk it up to bad-mouthing a competitor... But over the last month, X hasn't had any response at all. I wish the best for him if anything is wrong, but I was...

    Just Shoot What The Coach Tells You

    At High Pockets 3 weeks ago I saw a man and his 4-6 year old son. He un-screwed his stick and gave his son the shaft to play with... The kid was shooting on a table he could barely see over, and had to hold the cue over his head to even stroke a ball... He made three balls in a row, and one...

    Contest

    So here is the plan. Starting next Monday I am going to start some form of weekly-off-the-wall AZ contest. Nothing is 100% settled or set in stone except the fact that it will be some sort of weekly-off-the-wall AZ contest :) Here's the set-up. Every week I will be giving away a $20 gift...

    What To Do Here?

    haha, I'm evil but when I have an almost impossible shot on my next ball, I'd do this... http://CueTable.com/P/?@3AOJk2BFdO4CXMu2ESFi1FYlp3GIGU2HPKx1IBje2PAYu3UOJk3UMWX2kAYu3kOaa3kbAc@ By the way to make the table work... draw up your table and use the Export to Clipboard button. Then paste...

    Revelations..

    So after another week, I think I'm starting to get slower in my learning speed. I've been practicing again for about three months, and I've re-learned alot quick... but it's starting to come to the point where I'm getting stagnant. Not to say that in a bad way, just that I am coming to a point...

    How Drunk Can a Player Be???

    While I believe no one plays better drunk than sober... I happen to believe I play better stoned than sober :D

    Hopkins Hosts $1M Shootout

    I like it!! Great idea for the 25 people @ $200 each = the $5000 buy-in for whoever wins the tournament. God I hope this works out as planned!!

    Who is the guy....

    That looks remarkably like a guy I met in southern PN in a town called Chambersburg once. I don't ever remember anyone calling him Steve, but there was a 20-25 year old white guy that was with him that always just called him "Uncle", or "Unc" for short.

    Video - Mosconi Making Money

    A good expo doesn't rely on skill alone. It doesn't matter how good you are, you can't keep people's attention on skill alone. After 10-15 minutes, 80% of the crowd will be thinking, "Damn, he's good..." while they head to the bar for a drink. Willie seemed to have what it takes to hold a...

    What Just Kills Me..........

    I just thought the same thing the first time I saw that diagram. I'd go for left/tiny bit low english and come off the rail to the left a little to wind up on the fat side of the 2. If you have a shot to win the game on the next shot... I would always go for it. (Top right english would come...

    Any Lawyer's out there?

    Do what I would do in any situation except murder... represent yourself. You have to remember when dealing with PDs... they know the judge on a first-name basis and the outcome of your case is usually decided on alot more than just "the facts".

    Any Lawyer's out there?

    Yeah TN has it's perks :) I wouldn't ever expect "game of chance" to hold up in court though, and I would literally laugh at trial at the prosecutor who brought it up. The only defense you need in that situation is to show the past 15 years of proffesional billiards. You wouldn't see the same...

    Any Lawyer's out there?

    I must not be up on the lingo yet :( what is a calcutta? I can tell you stakehorses that want a % of your winnings are illegal, venues that take a part off the purse are illegal, and any kind of machine that has less than a 50/50 chance of winning are illegal, unless the machine is...
