It is big in billiards. Some guys like the balls treated with silicone like products others will smudge the balls with sweaty palms if you let them.

Rempy used to do that. He would pull the tip of the cue right out of his bridge hand. The weirdest thing Bustamante does is the length of his bridge sometimes. He will be bridging off the rail at a ball like 18 out on the table. If you are standing behind him it looks like he is not even going...

it is too small of an industry to be worth any investment in innovation. Golf is a multi billion dollar industry.

I would bet without this forum I may have lost all interest completely. I haven't been in the pool room for like 4 months now, although I hit balls around at home. This forum keeps me thinking about pool even though it doesn't seem to mean much to me anymore.

I hustled bars for quite a few years and I also did that. I had slip on tips that I had put good tips on. I would just slip one on and it was a big advantage.

I agree, you can play with almost anything most of the time. But when it counts and you have shots where you have to do something then you find it is not so good without your own cue.

If you look at the property appraisers site I posted you see the land value is only 10% of the houses value. In other words, the best house in the worst neighborhood. A very bad combination for investment. If anything, you want the worst house in the best neighborhood. That way anything you do...

I don't even want to drive in that area. here is some of the sales history on the house. http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=494123AD0120 You can see his wife's name on it when she sold it for $450.000 back in 1992

Hasn't it already failed?

I was just on the phone for about 45 minutes trying to get the remote on my new TV programed. Their are like 50 possible different codes to try and we must have gone through about 40 before we hit on the right one. The guy was so nice and easy going as ths went on and on I asked him where he...

I agree, after all that work get a table you will own and happily play on for many years. A good table is one of the cheapest things you will ever buy, it will last you a life time. How many things can you say that about.

Have you considered at all a steel building? I have some property up in Tallahassee with a mobile home on it and I plan on moving up there sometime soon. I have not been without my own table for like 50 years I would not know what it is like. So I have been looking into steel buildings to put...

It depends on the person, I have 7 lathes and I would have no problem sticking that in the corner of my building and puttering with it making it a useable machine if the price was right. I like messing with machines, I think a lot of guys do. To me messing with them is not more trouble then it...

Most of what you see are very old atlas or SB and they never have a hole through the head stock over 3/4". This lathe could actually be used for cue work. Also while viewing any of these lathes you need this music playing in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DqvweTYTI0

Curious, what is the unlikely place you got the cue?

You would have to check it out and look it over good. The motor is no big deal. I think maybe $800 or so would get a yes. The thing is and for someone looking, you don't see lathes this for sale very often. This may be second one I have seen in like a year and I look all the time. Most of what...

Years ago more then one was passed off as a SW. They would remove the logo. It is easy to tell the difference but they are looking for greddy suckers who thin they are getting a bargain. If I remember right they were not very expensive, under a $100.00. I bet if I look I have an original...

http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/tls/5290870015.html He said model G 4023 but I think it is G 4003 I think he got the number wrong when I spoke to him. It says Best offer. After speaking to him I think a fair offer will get it...

Pat Fleming came up with the concept of the light weight cue for jumping. He actually used a full length cue that weighed like 10 ounces. Unless you picked it up you didn't know how he was doing it. I was at a tournament when I first saw Pat do it. The cue was there by the wall and I think Pat...

Sounds like a liget confusion, I would have just discussed it and come to an understanding even if you replay the game. I don't want my relationship to end, over something as dumb as that, especially if I think I have the best of it. Over time you are probably going to play hundreds of games...
