    This is a gaffe that's been goin' on since? They should give the players a dbl room for $140 a night. Yep, the two step with the NJ airport, then getting to the venue Costs. Helps to have a roomie.

    Playing up against better players-advice please

    If life was easy, it would be boring. My advice, keep the bet lower than higher. Learning how to gamble/bet win/pick your spots, comes from experience. I saw a recent article about why some top snooker players are good at poker. They are good at reading another animal ''tells''...

    Non-Layered Tips

    GM.... here's the elephant in the room. Why is it that ''layered'' are needed ''at all'' when it was not that way before. (Newer cloth/wool/worsted? variants/slippery). I think the need of more tip/grip to the cue ball is a must.... because the current play conditions create more...

    Non-Layered Tips

    Yet when you see it occur it's often not a shot when excessive cue ball speed is needed. Is the glue/adhesive that Mori uses, different than Ultra's? It's just hard for my mind, that's run auto/truck repair shops to remove logic from the materials at hand. When you add something between...

    FYI.... the single layered tips generally don't last as long with the newer/stiffer shafts. I've found my good LePros, lasted about half as long as before. Tip also flares out \MORE.... and needed more maintenance, which is annoying. But an unexpected miscue, seems Always to be at the wrong time.

    Non-Layered Tips

    Look at the bottom, if it looks more like a piece of chocolate w/o allot of grain too it, set it aside. Once you've separated these two, next. Tap the flat surface on too a hard surface. The good ones will have that sound of being more solid than another. Usually I'd get maybe 10-12 out of a...
