    How would you rate my speed based on this video?

    Finally, some one who has actually seen me play. Please vouch this is not my actual speed. This is how I knock the rust off and keep my stroke familiar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well sports fans, no new video tonight. Maybe later this week. I had just set the phone on the tripod, and the wife walked through the door and told me to get dressed, we are goin on a date. Happy wife, happy life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How would you rate my speed based on this video?

    Seriously... C- How many C- players can run out more than 3% of the time??? I admit it was careless, but C- is quite the stretch. I plan on making another video later after the kids are in bed, and will actually try rather than "practicing " Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How would you rate my speed based on this video?

    I appreciate all the feedback. Please understand this is just my normal practice routine... I will try to get a video of "dedicated play" later tonight, but we will see how the kids act lol As far as any rating system... The only reference that I have is a Maryland BCA 8 ball league I played in...

    How would you rate my speed based on this video?

    Just curious what most of you would rate my skill level based on this short practice session? Wasn't being serious or anything, just wanted to watch myself under normal practice conditions and look for major flaws. https://youtu.be/JyulOjm6gew

    Please recommend a builder for this cue

    I have contacted 7 cuemakers asking for their thoughts and quotes. Still waiting back on answers from several of them, so I have yet to make a decision.

    I would like to stay under $2K for sure... I was honestly hoping that it could be done for $1500 or less, but that might be asking alot, not really sure. I was contacted by one cuemaker via email who quoted $1400, which is awesome!!! I don't want to share names as I feel that is bad taste. I...

    LOL, as much as I love the guys at Schmelke, I don't think this one is in their wheelhouse.

    Thanks Jesse, I am thinking about it being my present to myself for going back to school. I think it would be a very nice graduation present to myself LOL. I am debating on Sly (lives in same town as me), Robert Harris, and Mike Stacey, but want to make sure I am not leaving anyone out of...

    Bob is local (within an hour), but I am not a huge fan of how his cues play (with the exception of his sneaky petes) he has a pretty thin taper on his butts, and the one that I played with (a buddy has one) wasn't my cup of tea. It was a softer hitting cue, and didn't have the "lively" and...

    I just put together an idea for a cue, and am curious as to who you would recommend the builder be. Also, please understand this drawing was done in Microsoft Powerpoint, and is not the best, so not critics please, you get the idea of what I am going for. 6 point cue, 3 high, 3 low 3 boxes in...

    How many balls (14.1)should an a,b, and c player run?

    So, this is an intersting question to me. I am what I would consider a solid B player, that can catch a gear and play B++/A-- speed at times. I don't really play straight pool, but at one point in my love for the game I decided to focus on nothing but straight pool for a solid month. My high...

    WTH is going on around here?!?!?!

    Curious as to why you say that? I thought they had it locked down months ago, where only the person who started the thread was even able to comment.

    WTH is going on around here?!?!?!

    I was not saying that I think the Hustlers was crappy... I was simply stating that it seems that is the genereal consensus. I knew before it even aired what to expect based on the fact that the show was to be aired on TruTV. It matches their template to a T, and as long as you watch it for...

    WTH is going on around here?!?!?!

    Thanks Jesse! In all honesty, I decided it was time for a clean slate. The new player is a plain old lucasi cue. All black, no points, nothing special. I got two shafts for it (non-ld), and put my tip of choice on (UltraSkin HH), and have really enjoyed playing with a cue that I don't mind...

    WTH is going on around here?!?!?!

    So I have been abscent from AZB for several months, as my main time to peruse the forums was at work, and I was in a job role that did not allow me to do so. Well, I just got a new job, and now have the ability to check in between meetings again, and I just spent some time looking through the...
