    Best / Most Creative Excuses

    My favorite was from a guy I knocked out of the losers bracket in a local tournament... " If I practiced and played as much as you guys do I would be just as good!!" Yeah well, that's kinda the point. You don't and you aren't!:D On the other had I have had some really bad games that I won...

    Lowballing prices

    75 percent off is not what I would call a "little less"!

    Ever have 2 different cues from same cuemaker that played differently?

    Interesting thread! I have a Rich Chudy custom cue with three of his shafts. One shaft hits like it was made by God Himself! The other two are really just more average. The really good shaft has some "sugar" in the grain and the grain runs more parallel with the shaft than the others. The hit in...

    Ever fall in love with an old cue again?

    That puts it in the vertical logo era I believe What model is it? I had an H-1 and and H-4. My dream cue was an H-13 and still is. I don't play enough anymore to justify the cost of a good used one. I had a friend who had an H-15 back then. They are gone now but I still have something of a...

    the insanity emanating from this forum lately is mind boggling

    More time actually playing pool and less time reading about it would be a good thing for all methinks!

    What's the worst thing you've done to your cue?

    It wasn't me that did it but... I sold a Huebler H1 (vertical logo) to a local player once. The next time about a week later when I saw him, he was still using his regular cue. I asked him why he didn't have the one I sold him. He took it home just after he bought it from me. He left it leaned...

    What kind of pool matches do people play where they get trophies?

    Plastic dust collectors! I have two boxes of them in the attic. The first couple of them are fun as it is usually early in your pool playing career when you get them. Anyone remember the Grandy tournaments back in the early or mid eighties? I dogged an easy eight ball that cost me one back...

    Southwest Scam On eBay - Warning

    I have a watch on Ebay for "Titlist" and those ads come up and get deleted over and over. Surprised that they don't suspend the account.

    "You Know You've Been Playing Pool For A Really Long Time When..."

    ...When you are playing a ring game of 3 ball with 5 others for a quarter a game, dime a scratch, one tie all tie, and there is $127.60 in the pot.

    8 ball rules Q - hypothetical monster break

    Playing on a sheet of ice maybe?:eek: In any event it should be child's play to run out the rest of the solids with no stripes running interference. In a league game I would be more than happy to give that a shot. It should also be easy to plan things to keep the 8 ball in a safe place in case I...

    Interesting Situation - VNEA Rule Question

    I agree. One could take the position that the guy that shot saw the scratch coming and knew he was dead meat so was conceding the game prematurely. Short of that, if he was just trying to get a premature win, it is a cheap shot at a hustle attempt and he really deserves the game as a loss. If...

    This rejected shot should count IMO, what say you?

    I used to play in a bar tournament that had a Valley table. If you put a lot of draw on the cue ball and was shooting a ball into one side pocket straight on, the ball would pocket then crawl up the pocket backing and come back onto the table! I just sucked it up as a lesson about that...

    Dave Jones contact info?

    Anyone know how to get in touch with cue maker Dave Jones? I don't find anything out there. His website is no longer around. I played league on the same team with him here in Seattle for several years a long time ago. A mutual friend is in the hospital and not doing very well. If anyone can PM...

    My new Richard Chudy RC3😂😂😉😂😂

    Very nice! I have an older RC3 "Traditional" cue. I bought it new back in the early 90's as I recall. The points are sharp as a tack and all the same length. I have 2 shafts for it.One hits far better than any other shaft I have ever used. The other is more average. I don't know why there is so...
