    League BS: opinions please.

    We have been discussing a rules "change" that could be more easily enforceable along the same lines. We would allow the rotation, however, the rotating player could score to a maximum of 7 points. If they win then they register a 10-7 loss regardless. This allows the players that actually show...

    League BS: opinions please.

    I will try and keep this short and to the point.I would like to hear some opinions from around the pool world with regards to some BS we are dealing with in our local league. We have several different divisions to cater to all levels. At the highest level we have what is called our "Super...

    effects of alcohol on one's actual level of play

    Briefly, I answered yes for one simple reason...if my back hurts I have a beer or two and it dulls the pair so I can bend over how I want to in order to shoot well. If I am not sore then I would now say alcohol helps me at all. I do not need to use if for calming nerves.

    Do Pros Actually Use the Predator Z2 Shaft in Competition?

    I simply love when these types of threads get hijacked. The creator asked if any pro's play with a Z2 and it becomes a "My OB1 is better because..." thread. Yes pros play with Z2's. Yes in competition. Many are European. I seem to recall seeing a few on the cues of Mosconi Cup players. My...

    Here is the finals of the Men's Masters in Vegas! Unfortunately our Ottawa teams came in second but congrats nonetheless! 2nd in the Masters is something to be proud of without question! This team won the middle (intermediate) division a few years ago as well. Wish I could have been there. WAY...

    What would you tell you local Pool Room/Pool Bar Owner to do

    For starters I would recommend room owners to view the owners forum. Secondly, I would look at what areas you want to improve. Perhaps even go so far as to categories the business and create individualized marketing plans for each category. Keep the categories simple. For example: Category 1...

    How Much Money Have You Made Playing Pool?

    Locally the time for good gambling is dead. Back when I first moved to the region I was 20 and I started gambling. Lost 5k my first year. The next year I won just over 17k and continued to stay around that number for the next three years. Now, if I make 5k a year playing I am very lucky. If you...

    VNEA singles results?????

    Francis is an amazing player and a great guy. He is very humble too. That said, he only started on the barbox 6 months ago. He is a 9' specialist and has won the Canadian 8 ball and 10 ball on 9' tables. He also finished 4th last year at the Canadian 9 Ball Championship and in one of his most...

    Swing Speed

    Hey SWC, I have a feeling that you have played snooker. That is the typical type of shooting style found in many snooker players. I bet your "hard" stroke is probably not slash hard, rather, a pure delivery with speed regulated by the back stroke and subsequent follow through. When I watch a...

    Why use a Milk Dud Tip?

    I say give it a try. I put one on my cue about a month ago. (One I made) I like it. It hits soft but spins great. I use a lot of spin and tend to miscue if my tip is too hard. I find the Milk Dud is the tip for me. I have used Sniper, Moori, Flying Pig, Le Pro, Triangle, Kamui, and Everest. I...

    RIP Bill "the Gun" Ganne

    I met Bill in Vegas several years ago in Vegas during the VNEA championship. He was an incredible talent and equalled only by his character. I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet him and watch him play. Weeks after returning from Vegas I saw a match he was playing on television. He was a true...

    Two Strokes???

    Hey Snorks! Long time no see! ;) I have three different strokes.... 1) snooker style for fast tables or barbox 2) pool style with a longer stroke for 9 footers 3) the "out of the starting blocks power stroke" for TG's. (inside joke) slow tables...very slow.
