"3. LEGAL BREAK SHOT. The rules governing the break shot are the same as for other shots except: a. The breaker must strike the 1-ball first and either pocket a ball or drive at least four numbered balls to the rail. b. If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table, or the requirements of...

In the U.S., anyway, it doesn't matter, no pool cues in carry-on, three piece or otherwise. Home Travel Security Screening What Can I Bring? Pool Cues

Nice job.

How can simply assembling a table have any effect on rail height? Wouldn't that be a design, or parts-mismatch issue?

I am probably not as experienced playing pool as you, but I must say that having installed a few tips, a mushroomed, tapered tip is not the equivalent of a new, non-tapered tip. A mushroomed tip doesn't expand evenly along the length of a tip, it - mushrooms! I have been breaking with my...

Wow, love those single-action pistols!

Elkmasters are soft. Where did you see them for $20 per 50?

Credit for the video to Dr. Dave! BTW, the video inspired me to start investigating hand tools for tip work. I bought a couple relatively cheaply on eBay, and am thinking of converting a Tweeten tenoning machine into a tip trimmer with a depth control feature that will regulate to trim to...

Well, he did something that you specifically asked him not to. I would ask for a do-over. It doesn't look like he got the pad involved in the taper, just the tip, so it should be reversible. At that price, he should make it right. I see that you got a Victory medium tip, which is a hefty...

So, for the O.P.'s info, a box of 50 Triangle tips is about $38 USD. Do it yourself and you're at less than $1 per tip, installed.

Got it, thanks. So, it doesn't apply if there's only a single toss. I found this (easily): "In betting, the expected value (EV) is the measure of what a bettor can expect to win or lose per bet placed on the same odds time and time again. Positive expected value (+EV) implies profit over...

I'm not a gambler, and I confess that I don't fully "get" things like money-lines, etc.; but I am an electrical engineer, and have taken years of math and logic. I must say that I don't understand this, but I'm not arrogant enough to declare it false. To my way of thinking, the third party...

Yes, to linux! I'm using RHEL 7, and if I need Windows I run 10 in a virtual machine. That said, I got the same kind of idiotic response today that Bob got. I said, in part: I'm a new customer. The streaming is awful. It is constantly halting and then resuming, or stopping with the...

Wow, is that Swiss francs? That would be about $55 and $44 USD, respectively. That's a lot of money. At that rate I would think you'd be interested in learning how to change tips yourself. @dr_dave has a good video on this site on how to do it without special tools.

Subscribed. I'd like to see the loading bench. I have a brand-new Hornady AP that I have yet to "commission." :)

No, not that, either. A person picking up some cash award in a weekly event, weekend tournament, even a week-long tournament, isn't a professional unless they are deriving their livelihood from the pursuit; however, they may be in a gray area regarding amateur status, depending on the rules of...

I enjoy the commentary as well, and I confess, I like the sound of the balls clinking, etc., no sound is a problem!

Just a nit, but you've been misapplying apostrophes since the beginning of this thread. Plural of player is players. "Player's" is singular, possessive, like "he stole the player's cue."
