    Weather check............

    SW PA and we're expecting two storms through Tuesday. First one today into Monday with a slight break, then another Monday night into Tuesday. 4-6" of snow total and possibly some freezing drizzle. I'm sick of snow. We're about 2 ft higher than normal for our area and I'm ready for spring.

    U.S. Mail delays

    I've seen all of them running extra routes through my neighborhood. The month of December is always a crazy month for these guys, but with people avoiding the in person shopping, I'm sure it has to be even crazier than usual. We did have a rent check take 3 weeks to get to us from 9 miles away...

    2020 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Ran 57 on video. Had a 61 the night before, but didn't have the camera set up. And this 57 is a bit sloppy. A lot of extra bumping balls around and moving balls that didn't need to move.

    I thought about that, but don't they usually get BIH for that? And doesn't a made ball override the 3 ball rule? I know they were breaking with the 9 on the spot. Maybe they did have a different break rule.

    Best commentator yet!

    Was just watching the video. I paused it to log in to Youtube to leave a comment and when I came back it was showing the private video page. Not sure if anyone saw it all, but in the 16th game, Corey broke and made the 3 ball. He walked away from the table and Shane came up and started his...

    Understanding the TAP handicap system

    Like you, I've never been able to make much sense of the TAP stats they supply. I had the TAP system explained to me this way. Without getting the actual logarithms, they explained that TAP cares more about how you shoot than whether you win or lose. Their system rates you on a decimal...

    Anyone know if

    Tom and Jim Haskins (The Cue Masters) in Calliham, Tx are still making cues? I had a nice custom made around 10 years ago and wanted to get a couple things done with it. None of the numbers I have for them work. Thanks Scott

    What is your high run in 14.1?

    I ran 98 once. Other than that, my high run is 64. When I'm playing a lot, I'll hang around the 20's/30's.

    I have trouble with drawing my ball when the distance between the cue

    I had the same problem with the long draw. I found that as the shot got longer, my grip got firmer. All that does is restrict the ability to follow through. Practice with a two finger grip and really let the cue/hand/wrist follow through on the shot. When you hit a really good one, you'll...

    Tiger Planet Pool tour

    Does this tour still exist in any format by any other name? I used to travel for these events when Nick was running it. Always well done and some tough competition.

    What's your greatest pool accomplishment?

    I've had some cool moments playing pool, but one of my favorites was a 5th set of a final. Match is 2-2 and I'm playing against a 5. The race is 5-3. My opponent won the lag and broke. He made a ball on the break and ran 3 more before missing. I went to the table and ran out. I broke and...

    Meucci Cues warning

    I actually switched brands after a ridiculous encounter with Bob at Valley Forge some years ago so I wouldn't really expect any help there.

    Madden Cue

    Jack made me a purple heart cue a few years back. It was the first cue I ever had with a leather wrap and I found out that I couldn't adjust to it. The cue itself was gorgeous and well built. It was a 3/8x10 joint with black leather wrap, silver rings and two tiger maple shafts. Knowing I...
