    Carbon fiber shaft cleaning techniques..

    Ok, thanks guys. I got to play with it a little bit more tonight. I used to use a glove and still do, but I tried gloveless a bit and was still fine. No drag at all and today was humid! So I guess, a trip to the local pharmacy and pick up some 91% alcohol and those wipes in the women's...

    Carbon fiber shaft cleaning techniques..

    I recently purchase a Meucci Carbon Fiber Pro shaft. So far, I love it, but only have about 15-20 games on it so far. It's still in great shape and clean, but I know with use it's going to get chalk, etc., on it. I used to use CueSilk on my wood shafts with great results. Up until now, I...

    They were doing that stuff outside, when we were in lock down and inside stuff was banned.

    South Jersey Billiards / The Thirsty Hound

    By far the best pool room that I have been to. Diamond bar boxes, Brunswicks, whatever you want. The attached side business, The Thirsty Hound hosts trivia, karaoke, etc. In the summer there was corn hole tournaments, comedy shows, dunk tanks, etc. Tons of stuff to do there. Servers and...

    the pool scene in the Covid world

    In South Jersey, league play is not happening. I don't think we'll see that until 2021. However, the pool room that I go to is open. Rules are - Masks when not shooting and no food or drink in the pool room. There is an adjacent bar with an outside tent. So if you need to take a break and...

    How much chalk

    I use Kamuii. Definitely don't chalk on every shot. Just take a quick look at your tip and you'll know if you need it. Same with anything else.

    Pro Players and Pocket Chalkers

    I use a chalk holder with no chain to protect my Kamui. It those goes in my jeans pocket. I think chalk on the tables should be banned. So many times at league night we have a jammed table because some drunk the night before dropped chalk down a pocket. Plus, it prevents people from laying...

    Chalk etiquette?

    Couldn't have said it better and I 100% agree. The tavern that I shoot out of recently bought another table from a local bar that shut down. When the pool techs came out to resurface and maintain it, they found two handfuls of chalk inside the table. Ugh! I figure if you can't afford under...

    Conditioning chalk

    This may sound crazy, but I've heard of people microwaving their chalk or leaving it on their car's dashboard on a hot summer day. This seems to bring the oils out in the chalk. I only mention this because I am a Kamui user. My first cube was their 'alpha' blend. You can no longer buy that...

    Chalk on my shaft

    I use Cue Silk. It works well and makes the shaft silky smooth. It cleans up some of the blue but not all of it. That doesn't bother me, though, because I like the look of a used cue, kind of like a guitar that's been toured with for years. It's probably just glorified car polish, but a...

    Kamui Tip Differences

    The Kamui products are expensive. I don't think anyone can argue that, but they all LAST. I use a Kamui SS Clear tip, Kamui .98 chalk and the Gator grip. I've never had a Kamui tip mushroom or glaze. The chalk lasts because it stays on the tip, with proper maintenance with the Gator grip...

    The Hustlers Second Season

    There's a guy in my local area who is slated to be in the show. While I do not know all of the details, I would presume a second season.

    Kamui Tip mushroom and chalking application

    This. I have yet to see one of my Kamui SS mushroom. However, since they're so soft, they will flatten out like any tip over time. I also use the Willard scuffer, but only when absolutely necessary. Kamui's gator grip tool really works well. I use it at the beginning of the night, just...

    league weekly fees same for 30 yrs,has to be time

    Our APA league is $40 per team. I don't think that's bad at all for the amount of fun that is had. Our LO creates some of the best tournaments in the country and the players get some kick back too, for winning.

    Bonus Ball currently on ESPN3

    What a great match tonight. I like the team aspect of it and the format. It'll help people that do league play pay attention as they'll be able to relate. Concerning the jerseys, I like them. Provides the team feel just like any other league out there. They do need some refinement though...

    Earl on Bonus Ball live now

    Watched the whole thing. I was surprised to see Earl shooting the orange instead of the purple (1st match I think). However, very entertaining. I'm still learning the bonus ball rules, but this looks like it could be pretty successful.
