Not sure I agree there, because moving a ball by accident is sloppy play, and I like the fact that the opponent can pick what to do with it as it benefits them. A person not being careful and playing sloppily should not be coddled so much. APA rule also states that no matter how many balls...

I am close enough to that where I could, maybe a 45 min drive. Would be interesting if they allow visits to see it.

That looks like a hand-made, or at least better production, wood case, not one of the cheap cardboard or plywood things. Yes there may be someone that stuck a good cue in one of those cheap cases, but it's a lot more likely when looking at the overall clues that it is a cheap cue vs a good cue...

I was venting at the decline of logical thinking in general. I blame the kids.

Not long ago I was thinking about going to the offices in Jacksonville because I figured it would be like a giant showroom of cues and shafts, pool tables and demo cues. Asked around, and it's just a boring ole office.

It's amazing how many people ask questions about products or procedures without going to the source. The DMV and Insurance Reddit questions are especially silly. "Will my insurance cover my aunt who borrowed my car and drove into a construction zone collapsing a building?" Call your F'n...

This was a question on Reddit also, there is no reason under those rules that they can't change the position until they actually shoot. In all ball foul rules, the other player gets ball in hand.

This is actually pretty funny LOL, I can see in 50 years someone will post "how do you drive a car that does not drive on its own" or "My grandpa said cues used to be made out of wood, not carbon fiber, is that true??!!". Same exact break, with maybe a bit harder hit.

It will work as a cue, maybe $50 of value there, may sell for more to someone who does not know about cues much. You can tell by the cheap case it's in that it is not really a good cue, not a lot of people would put in anything worth much in a $15 cardboard case.

Someone made a joke about the Boston Marathon that 3 different divisions, Men, Women and non-binary. A dude can win all 3 LOL

Unless one of them owns the factory, it's co-hosting of the manufacturing. Same way computer chip companies have many customers for the same chips.

I know people that would say the same thing about carbon fiber shafts, gloves, and weed.

Don't think last pocket 8 ball is anything special, it's just playing position and a bit of 1 pocket strategy if needed. Straight 8, same thing, just shit rules. Any good player can play them as well as any "specialist". Once you get into a competent player level, the gaffe games don't pose...

Clearly it's a custom, but no idea of the maker. It arrived as a used cue into the pool hall, through different hands, so the history is totally lost. Likely some random local area maker not known nationally, but maybe someone ran across similar designs. Not the cleanest/sharpest work, but not...

Do you mean to have someone do the commentary now to the video? What are the chances you can get some of the old timers to do it, especially whoever was in the match? I always loved listening to the player review tapes, if one of the players in the match can record new commentary as a player...

If you are selling the cue, it should go in the For Sale section, not tacked on to a 12 year old post.

Not all shafts and pins are created equal. Some variances in the threads and depths exist.

You should have a separate break cloth put on when you break, then swap it to the playing cloth when in the middle of the game. If you put some quick release rails on, won't take too long to change over. Just need a photo of the table to you place the balls in the correct positions afterwards.

Best tip to use, with ANY shaft, is the one you like. The shafts that the vendor wants to use a pad with, include a pad, so keep the pad if you are changing tips.

I have a pretty decent collection of shafts and cues I mess around with, just never sold many of them when I got something new. But my go-do setup is maybe 2 different shafts and my main custom butt. I do play around with several cues when just playing with friends, and when I travel. I can't...
