    the fairest rack

    To really have it fair there needs to be a outline for the template to be aligned in. There also needs to be rules about what is random placing of the balls. They should pull the balls out one at a time and place them in the rack going from left to right in the rack filling in from the one to...

    Do you train with a coach? Why not, if so?

    Don't train with a coach because there isn't one available. Would like to attend a few sessions with Bert Kinister, Tor Lowry of Zero X, Earl Strickland, Little Joe or Mike Sigelbut they are too far away and would be very expensive. I am sure a good coach would really help. Years ago I...

    Converting furniture table to diamond playability

    It is possible but is it worth the money? I have a Brunswick Heritage 9ft table that was purchased new in 1973. I had it recovered and was considering to extend the rails and adding new cushions to tighten the pockets to 4 1/2. Doing this would also reduce the shelf inside the pocket. To...

    Has pool ever got you laid?

    I wonder why women haven't responded to the poll or discusssion? As a twist on this between two women that were interested in you while playing pool who would you chose? The one who could really play pool but not as hot as the one who couldn't? 🎱

    Who would be the best Honolulu player?

    I been shooting that way for years. I think it is called slop. I rarely make a one rail kick into the intended pocket. 🎱

    Buffalo Billiards in Metairie is MOVING!

    Are they doing this because they need more space for the longer cues? 🙄 🎱

    How popular is it really and whats the value of it?

    Many polls are based on a sampling and using statistics they come up with a number. Other than the pool players that I know none of my friends, relatives or aquaintances play pool. I have a table that I shoot on every day. My wife hasn't hit a ball on it in years. Relatives and company...

    Has pool ever got you laid?

    Don't you love it. A friend of mine was home on leave back in the 60's. He was telling me about his hook up with a girl that was the daughter of his mothers friend. How she was a goddess, perfect body and etc. How hot and sexy she was and how she basically attacked him and how they had sex...

    Break Cue Tip: Phenolic vs. Leather

    I used a phenolic tip on my break cue. I quit using it at home as it makes marks in the CB. Since I treat property of others the same or better than my own I no longer use that tip and had it replaced with a very hard layered tip. 🎱

    Best/favorite ferrule material

    Exactly with I was thinking. Besides the material it depends on how it is fastened to the shaft. Glued, screwed, thickness of wall, and etc. Then is the tip applied with or without a pad. Then there is the all wood option. I like ivory as the chalk doesn't stick to it. I think others...

    John Morra announces hiatus

    Smart move. He has been doing this for over 10 years and probably seen the light at the end of the tunnel and it wasn't as bright as he would like it to be. A few years ago Sarah Rousey was at the SBE helping in a booth. I asked if she was still playing and she said no that it was a rough...

    Has pool ever got you laid?

    Personally the opportunity never existed and never went out of my way or looking for it. Actually my standards are too high as I have never seen anything when playing that was my style. 🎱

    Long cue questions

    Have seen many players now using longer cues. Are these made as long butts or is it by adding an extension? If an extension is added doesn't that throw off or change the balance? If the cue is originally made as a long cue is the shaft and butt the same length? Apparently taller players do...

    Darren Appleton's World 8 Ball Series 2017

    I hope it works out but for it to really exceed it needs the support of the fans. What they need is a small time tournament to draw the fan players in. I think that is the reason for the success of the Derby and SBE. Most that attend are also participants in some action even tought they are...

    Pool Brew

    Back in the 50's E & B was a very popular beer in the Detroit area. There was a peel off label that concealed a poker hand. People in the bars would buy the beer and the person with the worse hand bought the round. I am sure people would play other games at home. I heard that the state...

    Chef Anton Hustles Penn and Teller

    Have you ever watched the TV show with the masked magician that exposed all of the tricks? I down loaded a free magic book on my IPad. All card tricks are based on a few fundamentals and then the story or trick is built around it. Same with most magic tricks. They are based on a few...
