    9 Ball the movie.

    My guess would be she is in her late 30's. I am sure it is somewhere you can look it up. I just looked it up and it says she was 29 in 1997. She is almost 50.

    9 Ball the movie.

    Beretta had a $75.00 rebate that ended on 6/30. I want to buy a PX4 compact but can't seem to make the move. It would be another thing I have I don't really need. If I had bought it last week at Bass Pro shops I could have got the $75.00 rebate plus another 10% off if I got a bass pro shop...

    I want your opinion

    Can't go wrong with white with black speck or black with white speck. I used to try to match the wrap to the woods but found it only makes the cue look cheap. I just recently re-wrapped my own cue. It has Cocobolo in it and had a brown with white speck wrap on it. I just put a solid black wrap...

    9 Ball the movie.

    Was flipping last night and came across a channel on Comcast called I think Streampix I never looked at it before it is a free movie channel we get. On it I found the movie 9 Ball showing with Jennifer Beretta. I never heard of it so I watched it. It was horrible but interesting. If you get...

    What's the longest game of one pocket on record ?

    Certainly not the longest but accu-Stats has a tape of one rack with Steve Cook and either Hopkins or Nick Varner I can't remember, called the "100 minute rack" At one point Cook shoots an amazing take out shot. Varner has like half the rack in he pocket area and Steve takes them all out with...

    One pocket break question

    What pocket provides the best percentages for a right handed player? I am right handed and have always broke from the right. Is there even any advantage which pocket you pick.

    The broomhandle, the ultimate pool training tool!

    I have seen players do that not with a broom handle but a cue with no chalk. Wipe all the chalk off the tips and practice. Years ago there was a guy in the pool room who liked to gamble and didn't play too bad. One day he broke his wrist on his right hand his stroking arm. He could not play...

    Thanks to the A-Hole who recommended using a +/-.005 machinist level for my table...

    I was at a Grady Mathews tournament and the same thing happened. The guys who set up the tables just left after setting them up. Grady started the tournament with just two rounds of matches the first night after the draw and the next day was to be a full schedule. It was horrible balls were...

    what part of the cue is adjusted when they increase the lenght?

    If it is a new cue the shaft and butt are usually the same length.

    Ball Cleaning - Why is the debate?

    If the balls are not old or cheap, they have a surface that will clean up very easily. Just keep you table clean and wipe the balls off, use a polish if you want but it is no big deal. Don't use any abrasive or you will make the surface of the balls just get dirty easier. Some home tables have...

    Ball Cleaning - Why is the debate?

    Not a debate, what they are doing must work for them. You can accomplish the same end a dozen different ways in many things you do. There are few perfect ways to do anything. I just started coating the ways on my lathes with the stuff I use to clean and protect my guns. I just tried it one day...

    Thanks to the A-Hole who recommended using a +/-.005 machinist level for my table...

    I am not debating this but the surface of a pool table is imperfect due to being covered in fairly thick cloth. You can set the level on the table three times and get a different reading. You can press it into the cloth and get a different reading. Once you have a reading you still have to now...

    Ball Cleaning - Why is the debate?

    I don't think there is any debate, people know how to clean pool balls. I used to use two ball cleaners. One to apply the cleaner/polish and another one to do the final polishing. After putting that stuff in your ball cleaner, if it doesn't have replaceable pads inside you have contaminated...

    Thanks to the A-Hole who recommended using a +/-.005 machinist level for my table...

    As long as the slates are correct I always did my final leveling using a pattern of ball rolling. When I was in the pool room business if someone said a tables seemed to have a roll I would check it. If it did it just took me a short time to get it perfect. Over the years I have leveled...

    Must see one pocket game

    This is a hill hill game. It lasts and hour and five minutes but is worth watching. If you like one pocket you will see numerous moves and kicks, not to mention the value of taking a scratch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yme5_H69ou0

    question about damage during shipping...

    I would only send a cue around the US of any real value next day delivery. It does not matter about the extra shipping cost the customer just has to pay it if he wants the cue.
