    How to handle slow players?

    Back in '88 at the Tennessee 9 Ball Open, Wade Crane broke and ran 6 racks on this guy and the guy laid his stick down across the table and went to the bathroom for 10 minutes. He came back out, racked the balls and Wade didn't make a ball on the break. I guess he cooled off. The guy wins...

    shipping... would u ship a black boar worth 7.5k via ur local post office???

    I had USPS steal from me even with a tracking number. They just say it was delivered and if you don't have insurance where they will have to pay they won't do anything about it. I will never do business with USPS again, nor will I accept anything from anyone who wants to use them.

    Did you mean to do that?

    How many times have you heard that? I never play in bars or any other place ball bangers hang out. I just sit quietly at the bar and watch the games. Every now and then they will walk off and leave a ball or two on the table and I will go over after they leave and knock the balls around...

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    I know. What's it gonna tell you to do when there is a ball in the way? I doubt it is going to tell you how to get around it.

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    Once upon a time, I was playing a match and I was so drunk I could not do the math to figure out this three in the side. I stood there a minute and couldn't and finally turned around and hollered to the bar, what's half of 37.5? (I don't remember exactly what the number was) Somebody yelled...

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    I think of it in a different way. For instance, the game is on the table. What you are doing away from the table is not in the game. Is it against the rules to read a pool book or look at a spiral binder with shot diagrams in it when you are not shooting? Speaking of novel equipment, what...

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    Have a look at this. This is Grady Matthews explaining all the different ways to do a simple equal angle kick shot. There are half a dozen different ways to do it and all of them depend on stroke, speed and condition of the table. No app will ever be able to calculate that (unless you want...

    I know. I am looking at it to lay down on people with. You are probably guaranteed to get weight from anyone that sees you using it. :D

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    It is just knowledge. What is the difference between having the same thing in your head and having it on an iphone? Professional golfers have yardage books where they have every detail of the course and the greens in it. You see them looking at it with their caddies on TV. That is not...

    Can you taper a 314 shaft?

    Ah, so they have changed. It has been a few years since I talked to them. Sounds like they are more flexible now days. This guy is talking about a full millimeter. I don't think he is going to make it without having the shaft walls paper thin by the time he is done.

    Can you taper a 314 shaft?

    No. The end of the shaft is hollow. You cannot remove any material from it. The walls will be too thin and probably break. Predator will also void your warranty if you try. I had this discussion with them a few years back. If you don't like it, sell it and get one in the size you like.

    A new phone app for banking is it cheating?

    Of course it is not cheating. It doesn't shoot the ball for you does it? It doesn't calculate the age of the cloth or how the rails are. It doesn't measure the temperature or humidity. It doesn't calculate the speed of the shot. As long as it doesn't touch the cue ball, I have no problem...

    Did you win = In the hooole

    I haven't been a pool room in over a decade. Lost my job, home, table and went broke for a couple years. Got another job and I'm back in the pool hall. I have been practicing alone. Yesterday, I go to turn the balls in and some guy at the counter goes, "Did you win?". This guy is still...

    Pool Genie

    A decent drink and a barmaid that will come by regular. The rest of that I will get on my own. Pool is a journey, not a destination.

    wow what can i say

    They were putting .22 blanks in golf club heads to launch balls with. Of course someone bored one out to a .44 magnum. It's only a matter of time before some idiot connects the two and tries to make a break cue with it. You could do it with the pneumatic cylinder from one of those RWS air...
