I doubt you are going to find a new cue with ivory in it, although bone is an option. I had a cue from Joss that had mammoth ivory in it.

I am against any automatic handicap for someone because they are different. We all know the skill level of the players, if they want to handicap them, do it by skill. I mean there are not a lot of black players (are there any?) in the top 100 in the world either, are we going to start saying...

Actually, yes. There are tons of videos of them doing drills and practicing. Have you ever seen a tournament? Can you explain how you play in one without waiting? Aside from the hours and hours of waiting for matches and practicing, why do you think every minute they spend at a pool hall...

That's up to you to decide. Those cues actually hold up their value pretty well, tend to sell for what they were new quite often. Here is a fancier model than yours for $400, new stock...

Kaiser was a great cue for the money. Solid hit, nice pin. I bet most people would not be a able to tell the hit difference between them and a SW if blindfolded. Same thing for the Mohawk cues. I bought a Mohawk from someone for a bit under $100, sold it for $200 to someone that really...

Even not new players tend to like games they can shoot in, and often. If you are playing 14.1, you can be waiting for a few racks to shoot again, if you are playing one pocket, you are bunting around balls trying not to sell out. If you are playing banks, well you need to bank well instead of...

The point is that you need to get good enough to win those tournaments often, not that you will be magically whisked away to the land of Pro Players after you play in them. And yes, you will be sitting waiting for a match in tournaments. What do you think a tournament is like? You win a...

If you need to ask, you are not only not on the right path yet, but you are not even born yet when it comes to playing at a top level, and are years from winning any matches at a pro level event. Start with lessons and playing in the weekly tournaments around you, or in a league if there are no...

I would be afraid if I hit it fast enough to make it to the pocket I would go past the position for the next ball.

Not to boast or anything, but about 10 years ago I was telling my league teams to learn to play position on the ball around the spot area since almost all game balls end up there. I was ahead of my time LOL.

Don't BCA league have a set handicap system for the team totals, even if the games are played even? You can also set a limit on the team handicap total like many leagues do in order to prevent a few teams being filled with the best players.

Sounds like a Sammy Hagar song. I'm Still aliveee ... at sixty five... yea! Take my license, I can't see, drive through CVS walls in my SUV! Cause I'm still aliveee... at sixty five! I really hope you guys read that with the music LOL

Not on fast cloth from that angle, I like the draw to the second rail on that shot I think. From the position of the ball that is, not ball in hand. Every time I thought I can hold a ball on a Rasson table, or a newer setup Diamond, the cueball travels 2 feet further than I expect.

The rule is to not to.

I hope the players and commentators used the set to full effect. "I call the Vee Eye in the corner" "well if he can get to the Ex Eye for the break ball, it will be good for him".

According to the apa, low 700s is where the limit is for amateurs are. Of course it's not what they say because they seem to refuse to admit that any other rating scale exists aside from theirs, but based on the players that they allowed to play, that's what it is. I think that's a bit too high...

Probably bit more than a game, since 100 is double, it's about 30 pts to a game in a race to 9.

I would love to see a pool movie directed by Tarrantino. He would make it the right amount of gritty and fun.

Same thing, writing magic ball rack every time is annoying. Magic Rack has become basically like Kleenex it is a name many use as a generic term for a template rack. I personally lime the Outsville rack better, A. It creates a tight but more natural break B. I like the guy who owns the...

It's not a matter of making it as good, it is the cost to do so. I have looked at some US made clothing, $100-120 for a shirt, vs $40-60 for a good one made overseas. Plus the time and cost to build or refurbish factories. You are not going to build a supply of goods made in the US that would...
