I hope so. I know pool fans are a small group compared to some other sports, but the people who play at a high level do bring a lot of enjoyment to those of us who watch. I'm continually surprised and disappointed at how many of my shooting buddies and league members aren't even aware of the...

The wages you are quoting are entry level wages. The people getting into these fields know the pay goes up with time and performance. Entry level pro pool players are very lucky just to break even with expenses, and the probabilities of the pay going up in time are fairly slim. The average...

Actually, the money I was talking about (winnings on the AZB money list) is definitely taxable. If AZB knows about it, so does the IRS and the taxing authorities in whatever countries the winners reside. Also, as the list is an international list it includes the top players in the world...

I feel the same way. All my life I have been fortunate enough to be able to do things for my livelihood that I really liked.

F*ck, double f*ck, the dirtier the better! Oh wait, no, not applicable here. Just something my one buddy says when we get into a safety battle.

I just happened to run across the tournament money list on the AZB home page. In scanning over the money leaders so far in 2025 it hit me that what I have made so far this year working part-time in semi retirement would put me comfortably within the top 10 professionals. Yet it would not put...

Let me get this straight. You ordered a discount-line cue that cost less than what it cost to ship it, then you were so irritated that it had a defect that you swore off buying the parent brand forever? Seems like a bit of an overreaction to me. I understand that you had a premium line cue...

Sorry, I'm not buying that. Your original post was 100% trying to build hype about a product which is a fundamental part of marketing. If your primary motive were to solve a problem for players rather than to profit from selling a product you would not be keeping secret what it is you have...

To the OP, coming on here for strictly marketing purposes as a new member doesn't sit well with many of the members here. Quite a few of the more reputable members here have purchased the Gold Membership before beginning their marketing activities. You would probably have gotten a somewhat...

Bride arm tension is the amount of torsional force required to get her to say, "I do."

Here's a slightly different perspective on changing. Several years ago I was shooting with a lower end Meucci whose hit and action I really liked. I was comfortable with it and could move the cue ball around easily. Maybe the whippier shaft limited me a bit when a power shot was called for...

NPR on AZB. Spent about 45 minutes there a few years back. Darkened my normally sunny disposition for at least a day or two. Never went back.

I have an old Bucky Badger (UW) cue with a screw-on tip that, believe it or not, used to hit fairly well. Won a lot of $5-$20 8-ball games in the campus bars in Madison, WI with that thing in the 1980s.

Any of the mural style artwork that appears airbrushed on a cue just screams banger to me. McDermott had a line of those type of cues quite a while back that were just hideous. I used to like the gambler style cues featuring dice or cards, but anymore they just seem boring. Maybe my tastes...

The screenshot above shows 8 currently available and 15 have already sold.

First, let me say that I would much rather watch a "shotmaking" contest as you described than an "artistic pool" contest. However, a big part of what makes spectacular shots fun to watch is the drama involved by the randomness of the circumstances. A player having to come with a great shot to...

It might be that simple, but I'm not sure. I have a 9' Anniversary snooker table and I do know the corner pocket castings are different from an Anniversary pool table. However that difference may be only in the shape/size of the pocket opening and not in any aspect that interfaces with the...

You may get a better response if you post this in the Talk to a Mechanic Forum rather than here. You can access it by going to the Forums List then scroll down until you see the Talk to a Mechanic forum in the Product Talk category. :)

One of the really nice things about the ignore feature is that any threads started by someone you have on ignore will not be visible in your thread list. So once I put Lola on ignore (in about 30 seconds from now) I won't have to see this clickbait thread anymore. 😁

Yet 10 people so far have responded (11 including me). Hilarious! 🤣
