Exactly. That is what I tell my kids. But on that particular day for me, I guess, it was food, tothbrushes and a pool cue it took me a year to build.:D

I do not know if it counts. Like the title says... Once I bit my cue. It was a bad day for me. I was up all night, then worked 9 hours, then decided to go and play some pool. A real bright idea... A guy that normally cannot touch me, let alone beat me, was up 10 - 0. I just could not run...

Thank you for the correction. English is my third language, and I am constantly trying very hard to improve it, rather than "inconviencing law abiding folks" here with my grammatical errors, like that sheriff... :grin-square:

You are lucky it is your bridge hand... Got the same thing (only shoulder). Went to a doctor, turns out I got a spur in my joint. This thing is sharp, and is cutting into a tendon every time I bend and move my arm. Requires either special PT, for which I have no time, or a surgery. If left...

His site: http://www.rjhcustomcues.com/ See it on the wall when I play in Skyline. Bunch of guys use it in there. Never tried one myself.

Best thing: Jean Balukas playing pool. It was 8 ball, and I set on my ass the whole time. She ran like 3 or 4 racks on me before I got 1 shot, missed, and she finished off the set. A thing of beauty. :-) Worst thing: Couple of years back a guy was killed in front of me. About 15 feet...

I am not very comfortable with "playing forever" concept. My point is, everything should be reasonable. When I was young, I could, and did play 12+ hour sessions. But, there used to be guys who were playing on coke, or some other shit they put up their nose, etc., and they could stay focused...

Interesting how this thread is going "patriotic," while it should have no bearing on the topic... I own some expensive cues, but I would never play with anything over $2,000, so I do not know if playability is better when the number is higher. The reason is simple, -- I do not want to worry...

Thank you, got mine 4 x 8 yesterday. Looks and feels very strong, and it is lighter than I expected it to be. Cannot figure out what pushes the shafts up. If there is no spring in there, it must be magic... Had to remove 60% of padding from the lid (which was very easy) to minimize the...

If you have one of these left and it holds 31.5" butt/shaft I will take one: PLAIN 4x8 Black $85 Shipped usa only plenty in stock

got to be the rarest case out there :D

by far the best price is on Atlas page. Place it in the box after sign in, and you see the true price. Should be like 12 bucks

Because all he can do is to occasionally make a ball. Cannot really play position. Cannot understand how to play safe without leaving a ball in play. Does not play double-shots, forget triple shots... Simply does not understand the game. But, as I said, he still does much better than an...

By your standard, Pyramid should be harder than pool. Earl is a superior pool player. Called by many the greatest 9 ball player. But, sorry to say, he looks like a clown on that Pyramid table. By your standard and according to your logic, pool should be easier, because Stalev is doing great...

Congrats! I also played a tourney on Sun. but came in in the 5th out of 20. You did better. :wink:

very hard to compare. Two different games, each in its own right. How do you compare pool to snooker or carom? It is even hard to compare 8 to 9 ball in those terms. Need to devise a scale: Ease to pocket: pool is easier (even 1 hole). You have more shots in pool. Requirement of a high...

Played in a 20 guy Pyramid tourney yesterday here in Brooklyn. Came in in the 5th place. Missed the 4th by one shot, which i missed (was 2 games up and was 7 vs. 5 in the last game with a good position for the 8 in a race to 3). F up the shot and then he just rolled me because of a mental...

That he is. If Earl really never played the game, he is doing amazing. He makes shots most pyramid players, including Stalev, would not even attempt due to high risk of error... Stalev is the best, but not due to shot-making ability (which is exceptional) but for his understanding of the game.

People here do tend to call stupid what they do not understand. I just never pegged you for one of them, and was surprised. That said, I do not care what you say or how you say it (especially, if it sounds as a favor that I do not ask for) -- freedom of speech, you know... Please do not...

I play both games, and WOW! Just WOW! I guess this is what I would sound like talking about cue case construction. But, then again, I know very little about case construction, that is why I do not talk about it...
