    Playing pool with progressive lenses

    First off, I'm 53 and I used readers for about the last 7 or 8 years. About a year ago I noticed that my pool game was a little off, the long shots just didn't look right any more. Anyhoo, I finally went to my wife's eye doctor and he listened to my stories of how far the end of the pool table...

    fargo rating by username and disrespect towards top players

    I can see where you are going with this and I agree to an extent. I've known some good players that are very disrespectful also....it's not just the lower rated players. I think it's just a by-product of the internet that brings out the trolls. There is no real name to it, so it's easy to say...

    Replace a phenolic tip

    I think a lathe is a must to remove the phenolic tip. I didn't like the loss of control with the phenolic. I had mine removed and replaced with a super hard leather tip. I'm thinking of changing it to a Samsara tip....

    USPS SUCKS!!! What do you do?

    Ignorance is Bliss..... First off, the USPS will not just leave a package if it's insured for more than $200 or if Signature Confirmation is required. Many mailers want to save a few bucks on shipping and don't pay for the extra insurance.....not recommended. The USPS is the ONLY shipper that...

    Best way/product to clean Predator 314-2 shaft?

    I would emphasize using "denatured alcohol" not regular rubbing alcohol. There is virtually no moisture in denatured alcohol.

    Leaving cue ball position long....

    Yes, like grindz says, play shape 2 balls ahead and stay on the correct side of the angle. This will allow you to follow the shape line instead of crossing it. Years of experience also helps with the "feel" of the shot...

    How / where to start?

    From my experience, the best way to go is to "own" the building. If you sign a 5 year lease and have a good successful business going, guess what? The next 5 years the rent will be higher. At that point you have 3 options,1) suck it up and pay, 2) move to another location(good luck finding...

    Years ago, I was on a traveling team and we came across a similar problem. We noticed they had 40w bulbs in there lights. We simply brought 75w bulbs the next visit and installed for free. Easy solution......

    Stroke: Follow Through

    How long your follow through is has no bearing on tip to Q ball contact. Doesn't matter if you have a 6 inch follow through or 3 ft as you say. The time of contact is the same. The most important thing is that you are going straight through the Q ball for your aim target.

    Undelivered Cue

    Mike, Why are you coming across as such a jerk on this topic? The guy admits he made a mistake and is legitimately trying to save somebody else from doing the same thing. I don't get why you keep harassing him? PayPal as a gift is done all the time, it's not the correct way of doing it, but it...

    Odd Room Dimensions for 9' Table

    I play a lot on my table. You would be surprised at how many times you freeze a guy to the rail on safety shots. In a 3/4 hour session it probably comes up once an hour or so....very annoying to me but I take the game pretty serious. If you just play for entertainment, I wouldn't sweat it....

    Odd Room Dimensions for 9' Table

    I will tell you 1st hand..... I have a 4.5x9 Diamond Pro.....I had it in my enclosed garage at my old house. The room dimensions were 16x19.5, I don't know how many time guys were bumping the butt of their cue on my wall...the width of 16 was fine but when you were froze to the end rail, that...
