    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    What about 850?!?!

    Dechaine vs Krause

    I'll admit that I am a terrible pool spectator, (for all games that aren't 1p) I'm usually good to watch about three minutes of rotation and I'll head to the nearest table to hit some around. That said, twenty below zero kept me in the house all evening and I settled in and watched the last 2...

    Can't play no mo blues.

    Mobility is diminished, but not too much. Pain? All the time, and increases with time spent upright. I have to manage my days by getting horizontal before things tighten up too much. The time just before the second attempt was the worst... laid around and tried to catch my breath for weeks...

    Can't play no mo blues.

    I'm fused twice now at L5/S1, rear first and in through the gut the second time. I encourage everyone with low back troubles to exhaust all possible remedies and mitigation before getting fused. That said, I still play some, but it's largely frustration and futility... might play pretty...

    US Open (9 ball) 2024, August 19-24, Atlantic City

    While I enjoy and appreciate all four, Niels is the one that has had an impact on my game with his fabulous youtube channel. So, I'm hopeful for him to win, today!

    Back pain while playing

    I'm over 14 years with cannabis alone for back pain. I've been fused twice at L5/S1, (part of L4/L5 disc was removed too), first from the back and the second one was in from the front. In the course of the first fusion, I found that I am opiate intolerant, but was able to eliminate them...

    keno pool boards

    I dunno that bumping old threads is all bad. I wouldn't have gone looking for info about these keno boards, but a friend showed me one he was working on a couple months back. So, when saw the thread title, I took a look and found some info I will pass on to him. And as to the posters that...

    Gloves

    Hans, I often refer to the unglove as my "hand panty", but the whitey-tighty things you posted are going too far! Hahahahaha

    Gloves

    I like the unglove, as it removes the high failure part of the glove, the palm. Even the reinforced ones I've tried wore out the same way. https://unglove.me/

    Can One Pocket Be Learned On A Bar Table

    I am keenly interested in this topic! The place where the Montana State One pocket tournament has eight 7' diamond and four 9' diamond tables, but the vast majority of the tables in the State are bar boxes. I hope to grow the game regionally, but to make it work, there either needs to be new...

    Pool? If you can only play one game?

    I try to play an hour a day, every day. Yup. I live rural. I get too sloppy playing rotation games or 8 ball by myself, and the strategy involved in 1p keeps me more focused. I will play other games some, but for the last decade it's been 90%+ for 1pkt. I also prefer drop pockets because I...

    Looks like the IRS are having second thoughts on the PayPal issue

    I'll gladly take my chances with individual thieves rather than the collective ones that claim the theft is for my own good. Get some Lysander Spooner in your life!! "If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their...

    Looks like the IRS are having second thoughts on the PayPal issue

    "And taxes are not theft--taxes are what we pay to live in an orderly society." What's "orderly" about a system that shakes everyone down under the threat of violence? If someone forcibly takes 100% of another's output, they have made them their slave. But, should grand profiteer maggots...

    New music, pool related

    I've been hearing this song on the satellite radio recently... Give it a listen as the title and lyrics should fit azworld. "Nine Ball"

    Mass Shooting At Maine Pool Hall & Bowling Alley

    Doubtful. Intellectual honesty is far too lofty an expectation from any flavor of the voting cattle.

    Mass Shooting At Maine Pool Hall & Bowling Alley

    Is anyone in this discussion empowered to determine what another is allowed to own or the manner they choose to defend themselves (and others)? Can anyone grant to another a right that they don't already have themselves? If the claimed to be "just government" is derived from the consent of the...
