Hi, My friend Mac doesn't have a computer but needs your input on his cue problem. I wrote this for him. "My son took my (Mac) cue and for Christmas put in 4 ivory hearts near the end of the points. In doing so I guess the leather wrap hat to be redone. I was unaware! My problem is that my...

I've been playing pool since summer of 2001. I have bought most on ebay. Offline I bought one or two cheap new cues (big mistake). Anyway, I currently play with an old Mali (really like it, but think I need a better cue), so I would really like to upgrade. I am considering the OB-2 or the...

Doug, Thanks for the input. My friends latest update is they want him to give proof that he's right in his playing with foot off floor when in the wheelchair, and also wanting to be able to stand at other times. He can stand but not all game (maybe stands 1-2 times a game) as he is too weak to...

Thanks for the responses, I will be giving them to my friend in the wheelchair to show others that they are treating him wrong and it is ridiculous. Your responses alone will be an encouragement to him. BTW in our league of approx. 100 players he is currently ranked #1. So still currently...

Here's my question. I have a friend who is a very good pool player, he's now in his early 60's - He was once our towns (and area) best player. About 5 years ago he had a heart transplant. He was in bad shape, even for awhile he was in a nursing home. As he recovered he slowly (over the last...

Looks good - Hope many use it! I checked it out, and like it. I haven't tried it yet but have just registered. This really looks like it could be quite a useful tool among players.

Hopefully, everyone will accept I'm back. AZ Billiard Forum members have always been respectful to me :-)

Hi everyone! I'm still out here, just with our move to PA in 2005 and my pastoring a small country church, time is definitely valuable. So I haven't had the time I would like to have to spend with you all. I'm still playing pool, and played in town with about a hundred other players for 3...

:cool: Hi everyone! I'm still out here, just with our move to PA in 2005 and my pastoring a small country church, so time is quite limited. So I haven't been able to spend with you all. I'm still playing pool, and played in town with about a hundred other players for 3 seasons, but this year...

Thanks for the valuable information. Trying to learn what I can about 3 Cushion with out dishing out alot of money. You also mentioned the Diamond System. New Question: In Pocket Billiards who do you think best explains (accurately) the Diamond System

I also enjoy 3 cushion. Didn't think I would like a game with no pockets. Where I live there likely is a Billiards table (no pockets, 5' x 10') to play 3 Cushion on with a 100 miles, but still I am wanting to learn it. Also think it can help in playing 8 or 9 ball.

If I get one helpful point from the book it will be worth it It' not worth the hassile of the canceling process. I will look over the book, if helps me in ONE way in my game then it was worth it, otherwise I should be able to sell it and get my money back. Thanks anway.

I'm still around. Miss you all, I have just been real busy. My interest in the past year has been in "3 Cushion Billiards" (before seeing it on TV). I really would like to learn to play the game and how to understand all the angles, diamond system(s), etc., that make a good 3 Cushion Billiard...

Thanks, with your input I just bought the book used at Amazon. Also, I wasn't aware of AZ billiards "carom" forum. Thanks! Hey I'm new at this game, so I choose to not answer that - lol! Jim "preacherman"

Beating on a 63 year old man "Fast Larry" - Shame on you! Eric, I don't jump into these types of forums. But people that hit a 63 year old man (Larry was born in 1943) regardless of what has been said of you in the past - Shame on you. Be it also known that in the fall of 2005 (not very...

I have an older Mali!!! I have an older Mali, I got it on ebay and I have used it for the better part of the last 3 years. I don't think this is my final cue. But for a cheaper cue it is good IMO. I can't afford an expensive cue, when that day comes, we'll put the Mali away, but until then...

I agree with your post 100%, and while there may be a level of "good luck" or "back luck" in a break. I still think there is alot of skill in having a break as good as Johnny. At the pro level I don't think it's fair to say that a break is merely good luck or back luck with the roll of the...

I wanted some feedback before I gave my thoughts on the matter. I used to think Bustamante had the best break, but in the last couple years of watching Archer, I definetely believe he has the best brake of any pro. He is so consistant, strong, GREAT follow through and still keeps his cue ball...

I'm not going to say who I believe has the all around best brake (just yet). Include factors of: speed, accuracy, cue ball control and success. I'm talking a real brake, not one of those light brakes some have turned too. Personally, I think it is a narrow field, let see what you all say...
