I wish it did in our area, it totally crashes for everyone at least once a night, doesn't matter what device your on, Ipad, Iphone, Android, doesn't matter if your on Wifi or cell data, it just locks up and won't respond to anything, might give some errors at the bottom on a red banner about not...

I only been doing this APA thing since 2019, but here is what I observed so far and things I think can make it better. #1 -the handicap system pretty much works for people who don't intentionally try to game the system. However the there is too much range in the individual skill levels #2 - The...

This 100000%%%%% To me this is the biggest weakness of the APA handicap system. Players in my local league outright will tell you they don't mark D, esp when trying to just kick / hit a ball. They will even argue with you that its not a defensive shot, even after you show them the APA video...

The APA was not designed to support that skill level. If you're that good, the APA is a waste of time for you. I would say once you get to the 650+ Fargo, you should quit APA league night and just play masters if you want to participate in APA. PS -- Shane wouldn't be allowed to play APA since...

We have a few of those in our league, even one on my team. Most of them are newer players who's skill level just hasn't really hasn't caught figured them out. All of them are borderline between the next skill levels. We do have some "lifers" that are a 4 in 9 ball and a 3 in 8 ball. I typically...

That is how it was when I bought my Diamond Pro Am a couple years ago. Pro cut (4.5") or League cue (4.75") where both free options. If you wanted something other than those it was $500 bucks.

I have installed a few of these bulletproof break tips for league players around me. I just put on on a BK Rush this morning. They all really like them and they are spreading like wildfire (monkey see monkey do). I will be honest I put one of them (as practice) on my house break stick before I...

APA does have that rule, but the rule book specifically states that it must be a deliberate sharking attempt and the other player must call it immediately. I had someone once try to call that on me when I put my break stick away. I was on the hill and broke dry and walked away from the table...

Dumbest thing I did so far, playing double jeopardy APA (both 8 ball and 9 ball in the same night) so the team was split between 3 tables. Only have 5 players that night and i was doing all the timeouts (2 brand new players as well). So i was playing a pretty good player ( both 6s) in 8 ball and...

I lived in Cambridge about 10-12 years ago and the bowling alley (when it was open) was a complete mess. Right as I was leaving they got new owners and really cleaned up and revived the place. If its still the same owners I am sure that it will be great. PS -- Jimmy and Sooks, best restaurant...

awesome advice everyone, I'll show her some examples and help to get her lined up. I really appreciate it.

I have a brand new player on my team that we figured out is 100% cross eye dominant. She is right handed, bridging with her left hand (normal). However when she aims she is crossing her head over her pool stick and then tilting her head back and twisting it to naturally get her dominant eye over...

Breaktime is the most likely place to find some action. Not a lot of one pocket players around here though.

I have one of those robot vacuums that I run once a week on the table. That picks up a lot of chalk residue. Then about once a month I vacuum it really good with a wand attachment on my regular vac. Then once I get all the chalk I can out of it, I get a really hot bucket of water, add a small...

Drill America DMOD 5/16th Drill bit (Amazon)

Just a quick update to close the loop. I got the carbide 5/16th bit and everything went perfectly. Thanks again for all the discussion on this thread, it was very informative.

I agree! I bought one of my first cues from them in the mid 90's. Supposed to have a lifetime warranty on them. Well about 2 years ago the finish started peeling off my cue really bad and i contacted them about it. They asked for pics and etc, said I could send it in and be covered under their...

The ball screw tap is an "almost" identical clone of the uni-loc version of radial. Even with uni-loc radial's there is some variation between them (they have 3 different ones with slightly different tolerances to them). I don't do this for a living and don't plan to do many taps. Mainly doing...

Thanks everyone, I am going to try boring the holes. The 5/16" bit I have is solid carbide. I am 99.999% sure I am using the correct tap. I bought it from Unique (https://www.uniqueinc.com/inc/sdetail/ball_screw_tap/2374/16854) and it does screw onto the butt, just not getting the thread...

I got my cuesmith lathe in February and started doing repairs on cues. My friend has a shaft that he wanted retapped to radial. So I drilled / bored it out, installed a phenolic plug that I got from Unique (followed their directions for install). That went perfect and got a real nice fit with...
