    Looking for some help.

    I know it's out of the way, but if you happen to come down into Alabama, let me know. I'm about 20 minutes East of Birmingham, 2 hours from downtown Atlanta. I know a few people that may give you a little action and I know of small tournaments nearly every day as well! Sent from my SCH-I535...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    I just started playing in a double jeopardy league of Friday night 3 weeks ago. It has been pretty fun but I don't really enjoy the team im playing on. Either way, we have a solid team for sure. My first week, I beat a 6 in 9 ball. He threw the match for whatever reason. Then I lost to a 5 in 8...

    Bar rules help

    Lol. I agree with most all of you. I hate bar rules because of this issue. Everyone that Plays in it is there for the pool, not drinking which make it a little better. And this form of "bar rules" isn't bad at all other than the safety deal. I've had to play quite a few "accidental safety's"...

    Playing different with different cues

    I did not think much about the tip. It's a new kamui clear. I might should try a few different tips. My d12 has an older Moori M and my d8 has a kamui black S. Picked up my d8 the other night because I haven't had it out of the case in ages. Played great with it as well. Starting to think it...

    Playing different with different cues

    As far as me missing had nothing to do with the cues, I can't believe that. If that were true, I wouldn't have shot great with my d12, shot absolutely horrible with my Jacoby, and then back to shooting great with my buddies pechauer. Swapping from the Jacoby to pechauer was in the exact same...

    Playing different with different cues

    Some great replies here! An older fellow told me that it was very possible that my problem was in the balance point of the cue. But, he also said that a lot of it could be in the shaft. Even though they are similar diameter and tip, the older mcdermott shaft is much more "whippy" than the...

    Playing different with different cues

    great to hear everyones response. some awesome stories as well lol. the reason i swapped from the D to the jacoby, is because i worry about someone stealing something that has so much sentimental value to me. My father and grandfather shot together with that stick and another D that i own, and...

    Why 2 Shafts?

    I have been playing on and off for about 8 years. More off than on but have played seriously for the last year. My opinion on two shafts is it's nice to have in case one breaks or one needs some work. Tip replacement, Cleaning, whatever it may be. This way, you can keep playing with your cue...

    Playing different with different cues

    Had a question for you guys that really has me baffled. How many of you can pick up any cue and play as good with it as you can with your own cue that you always use? Here is why this has me baffled. I normally shoot with a d series mcdermott. Shaft has been broken so it is a hair over 57"...

    Best Night of Shooting

    Congrats!! It always feels great when you get in the zone. My best night to remember is a little different than most of yours. Back in the day, my dad played pool daily. Was the player of the town for sure. Someone he knew owned a little store with a bar box in the back that he would go play...

    What's The Evidence Of Your Pool Obsession...?

    I don't think I'm completely obsessed yet but here's two for you. My father and I always hunt or fish on weekends. The last few weekends I've found myself saying I'll be home early and not getting home until at least 2 in the morning. Waking up at 4 to go hunting is rough when you come in at...
