    Mike Zuglan and AZ setting the standard at Turning Stone

    Really good stream with some great matches. If there is one thing I think could be improved on it is the room lighting, it's a bit on the dark side, sometimes a little difficult to tell balls apart and you really don't see much of the players. Don't think there's anything AZB can do about it.

    Why do I hate league pool so much?

    At this time leagues are probably all that's keeping our local small room open. These are in house and it's been an effort to get bar box players on the 9' tables. I do like leagues but really don't try to take it that serious, play as good as I can but it's not the end of the world if I don't...

    Was Butt to Shaft Extensions a fad with the Pro's

    Played in the 8 ball league with one for the first time last night. Overall impression was that it felt good, but a bit heavy. At this time i don't see any reason not to use one. I think you tend to end up with a slightly longer bridge but it does seem very steady. We do play on 9' tables if...

    Was Butt to Shaft Extensions a fad with the Pro's

    Just picked one up, like trying different things. First impression feels good to me. Also I am just under 6' 4", as long as it doesn't hurt my game I'll probably keep using it. .

    JR. Nationals & BCA trade show

    I was hoping someone would mention the Jr Nationals. Watched a few of the matches and was very impressed with the play and how "professional" the tournament looked. Great job.

    Glasses aren't just for the vision impaired

    Could be, but over time the new glasses I was having problems with got much better. Don't think I'll put any more effort in to trying to get a pair just for pool.

    Glasses aren't just for the vision impaired

    I tried to have a pair made specifically for pool and was a little disappointed with the results. They were fine for close shots but at 8 to 9 feet they started getting fuzzy. I think the idea may be ok just a little difficult to accomplish.

    Are your local leagues played on 7' tables or 9' tables?

    The leagues at my local room are all on 9' Diamonds, we are playing 8 ball and 9 ball at this time.These are the only leagues currently playing. When winter comes the other leagues in the area play at bars with 7' Valleys. I go to AZ for the winter, where if we have a league it will be on 9'...

    Seriously, Do you like pool events on 7 foot table?

    I don't mind 8 ball on the 7', although I do prefer it on a 9', not a big fan of the 10'. Talking about watching not playing, Top pro's on a 7' just doesn't seem fair. Since we now have a room with 9' Diamonds close by I haven't played on a 7'.

    Wrap, or no wrap? What's your Favorite Kind Wrap?

    Wrapless all the way, just sold a Schon with Irish linen just couldn.t get use to it. I would think that just about everyone started out with a wrapless house cue.

    So - who here plays this game for the fun?

    Strictly for fun, play local league 8 ball and 9 ball. I want the challenge of trying to improve my game that to me is what it's all about.

    Dariya's Snooker Club in Des Plaines, ill League Forming Now

    Do get to play on a 10' over the winter, it's fun. I'd tried the 12' but at my age it's not getting any easier. :smile:

    The Hustlers Second Season

    If there is a second season would I watch it? Probably, do I think it's a great show, not really. Some of the episodes that seemed to focus more on the pool were ok, don't need all the "drama". As long as they keep showing stuff like Hardcore Pawn it would seem to me that the bar for renewal is...
