Like golf, changing conditions. Not always perfect. That used to be the most impressive thing about the road player. They beat players on their own tables. The all around player who plays all games on all equipment. That is a pool player.

Thats actually good. Most of the cable news shows on MSNBC and CNN don't do much better then that. They have a good time spot and lead in though. The pawn shop show is popular. They will be back for sure. The cast is likable and we now know them. I will be interested in what they are up to.

It just occurred to me, if you use a chalk holder you can double the life of a piece of chalk. Just flip it over and make a new dimple in the bottom and there you go. A new piece of chalk.

You remind me of a funny story. I used to play in a bowling alley when I was a teen. It had 10 GC tables and 24 lanes. Really nice family run place. One day the owner who played billiards and had a table there for his own use gets an idea. He see all this used chalk and has the kid who was kind...

The problem with a production cue is, quality is a crap shoot. It is hard enough for a cue maker to find good shaft wood for 50 cues a year. Imagine what you are getting when a company produces 5000 cues a year. It is pure chance. I have worked on cues for a long time and even on higher...

It is because you can lose. Gambling you don't have anything to fear you are in total control. In a tournament you are not, every match is sudden death. Gambling you can just play some more till you win. In a tournament you have to be nice, shake hands and go home with nothing. In a tournament...

That could be said about anything. How many possible doctors lawyers, scientists never had the means to go to collage and pursue a dream. I once read a book. "How to be your own best friend". To do a lot of things in life you have to be selfish. You have to put yourself first. It can be a not...

They have shown that before. You think they show more cornholing then pool on ESPN? They actually show a lot of pool considering it is a sport with no tour, known champions, small money and few tournaments that are even committed to tape for showing. Pool complains about being ignored while...

Just as a comment I would say the screw is stuck in the shaft and should be in the butt

I really like this show. Every week it makes me want to go out and play.

onepocket.org is good if you have that interest.

I actually tried that like 35 years ago and it worked but I didn't like the way the cue felt, it was too different. I think I used something like a baseball batters glove or golf glove. I don't think I am that weird, I have a feeling if more payers tried cues that were a little tacky they may...

You are exactly right. I put on a tournament in the early 70's and he came selling cues. He did a spiel like a guy in a medicine show on the properties of his shafts and deflection and so on. Rempe would hit shots with a huge amount of inside spin and pocket the balls. The kind of shots with...

I have played with a leather wrap years ago. I don't really remember what I thought about it back then. I think I am just going to take an old house cue and use some double faced tape to do some experimenting. This stuff can be very personal. What one person likes may not be what someone else...

That is like the stuff that billiard players use, In fact, I use to sell it. It does add some thickness to the cue as well as some weight. I want something that does not change the cue. On another note, I have seen guys rip out the whole insides of their cases with the rubber sleeve if they...

I never liked that and have no problem asking someone to stop. It is very Inappropriate. If they don't like it, screw them.

I have a few holsters from these people. They are made from some kind of material that is kind of sticky against your skin. I actually like the ones they make with a clip as added security but for the most part they do what they are designed to do. http://www.remoraholsterstore.com/default.asp...

You have quite a few replies and I have to admit to not reading all of them. I want to mention that some cuemakers don't use the whole cue but use the titlist sort of as a short splice type construction. This is of course on wrapped cues where they can cover how they have built the cue. In...

I notice he mentioned in a post from the beginning of June he was having health problems and would not be doing any cue work for a few months. But I see he has posted as recently as 7/7 so he may be feeling better. Of course he may be posting from a phone in the hospital. Wishing him well.

What would be their goal in doing so?
