    noob question

    A ball rolling slowly over a hole in the template could change the path of the ball. There are people who put round paper reinforcers on their cloth (or similar). They could also alter the path. Assuming you are using your table to practice and not gamble for vast sums, it probably doesn't hurt...

    WOW are they nuts

    Just using the name, as far as I know. They look fine but not at these prices. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    WOW are they nuts

    I keep thinking about the prices of cues when I became a pool nut around 2014 vs today. It is crazy how expensive, even a basic cue is. You don't get too fancy and you are getting crazy. Even the basic Lucky brand cue went from $50 to over $100. These GB cues and a recent Seyberts email for...

    Stick with what you have. You'll never get that feeling back. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Pool cue components or styles that you are not a fan of.

    Turquoise, traditional color or white. It just isn't for me. MOP inlays either. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Not sure which is your favorite cue?

    Jensen cue, but more shocking is one of the Jensen shafts that had been turned down to 12mm. I love the hit of the full diameter shaft but the turned down one is "the one". Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Not sure which is your favorite cue?

    I have been there. Bought many cues, sold many cues, kept many. I have pretty much settled on one cue but it took me a while to realize that I really play better with this one vs all of the others. (Even though it is the Indian and not the arrow.) I would suggest some test shots and multiple...

    APA SL Q - Based on 'Bud Light'

    Like I had said, one level is possible. I think you even see it in your account, lowest achievable level or something like that. Your player looks like the definition of sandbagging. Did he get raised immediately after that playoff round? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    APA SL Q - Based on 'Bud Light'

    If you play in nationals in Vegas, you lock your skill level. Otherwise, you can only drop one level back. I think anything else requires LO intervention. A friend had a stroke and was reduced. I bet a factor in play for your 10-year 3 is that he is also facing 3s. He can win a match in lots...

    Honest question for those that live in Arizona

    Id be more interested in hearing from Indiana. Being more North can make a bit more absurdities with daylight when it isn't needed. I think we need more time zones to better manage daylight. That Boston and Detroit are in the same timezone makes the Sox losing daylight before 8pm and the Tigers...

    Rack It Up or Pack It Up?

    I had been trying to draft this without making more NPR content. Basically, too much is taking the attention of people's extra cash. Cellphone costs, TV/broadband expenses, etc take up much of the money that could otherwise be spent in a poolhall. It certainly would help to own the building...

    Southwest cues how much and how long through the years?

    No one who waited and/or paid for one will give a fair answer. They are too invested Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Southwest cues how much and how long through the years?

    I wouldn't be able to wait either. It is a very interesting business model. I bet just requiring a $300 deposit to get or stay on the list would dramatically reduce that wait time. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Tor Lowry - Entire Zero-X Collection on Sale!

    I have found his stuff to be pretty insightful. I think there is some older stuff on YouTube. Watch and see if it connects. It took a while for me, but thinking about being on the correct side of the pocket line greatly improved my position play. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    5/16-18 joint mystery.

    I have a lot of 14s as well, there are some that screw on looser than others. One thing to experience is screwing a mezz united joint shaft on a 14 butt. You will feel how nice that joint is. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    5/16-18 joint mystery.

    I've had a radial pin that didn't accept every shaft I had. It's just one of the ways this industry Fs with you. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Best pro tourney to spectate (north america)?

    Turning Stone is always a good one. Great access to players and the January tournament gets a better draw than the August/September one. Jayson Shaw is always there and Fedor has often made it too. SVB used to but might not have left on good terms. It is also completely free, though you are in a...

    APA handicap bumped during the middle of a regional tournament

    It definitely can happen. One thing to know is if you won, you would still be in the 3 bracket, just playing as a 4, even in Vegas. A friend did that, qualified and bumped. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk
