    Touching the cloth with hands or cue?

    So every shot should be one-handed jacked up? :ROFLMAO:

    Ariel Carmeli cue playability

    I had some exposure to a few different Carmeli cues owned by my buddies, and always liked the way they felt when I tried them. When I bought my own, the first time I used it, I was immediately sure I'd made the right decision. It felt like the cue I'd always been looking for -- perfect. It'll...

    i could listen to jermery jones read the dictonary

    Couldn't agree more. JJ is the best pool commentator on the planet. I always learn something when I listen to him call a match. Just what I told him when I ran into him in Vegas last year.

    An odd discovery

    Can't see your whole stroke in the video, but it looks to me like it swerves to your left pretty consistently, which is consistent with the results.

    Question for Pool Table Owners

    I have a set of 13 year old Centennials, with a blue circle ball, a brand new set of Aramith Tournament Duramiths, with an Aramith logo cue ball, and a measle cue ball. They're all good, but the Aramith Tournament set is terrific.

    Cue Maker / Ariel Carmeli

    Nice looking Carmeli. I've never hit one that I didn't like. Here's mine. It will never leave my hands.

    Value of a Brunswick Anniversary Snooker Table

    I'd suggest checking with someone like Billiard Restoration Service in Clay Center, Kansas. They could be a buyer.

    My favorite referee moment

    I remember it well. I was watching it ringside. Melling's reaction was priceless.

    A true pool shrine..............

    Spent many a day there, when I should have been in classes at Mizzou. Snooker with good ole boys, and the best cheeseburgers around, served on a sheet of waxed paper. I still have a Booche's t-shirt. On the back, it just says "NO SNIVELING"

    Magic rack - anyone travel with them - how to fit in a case?

    Just spent a week in Vegas with one. Had it rolled up in the original package and carried it in my jump butt pocket. Worked fine.

    Jennifer "shot clock" Barretta

    Thanks Bob. It never occurred to me that rule applied on that break. She hit 'em good.

    Jennifer "shot clock" Barretta

    She doesn't seem excessively slow in this video, at least not for the first four games I watched. Question, though: why, after Jasmine breaks in game 4 and makes the 3, does she sit down, and Jennifer gets up and runs out?

    Old school pool room

    Make sure you have a cheeseburger (two, actually) while you're there. And, NO SNIVELING! (I have a booches' t-shirt that says so). I spent many a day there in the 70's when I should have been in class at Mizzou. :thumbup: But I remember it back then being called "Club La Booche."
