Get me a pizza From Chicago or New York I am hungry now

There is a member in the wanted/for sale forum that is specifically looking for a Sailor cue with points and veneers. You may want to message him if the two of you haven't found each other. I'm on my ipad and have trouble with links, etc... maybe another member can help out by posting the link...

I guess I pattern rack when I think about it. 1-3-5-7-9-2-4-6-8 is the pattern I use, and like another poster it's just out of some latent OCD. No consecutive balls touching. For a while I tried to figure out what balls were going where, but my speed and where I hit the head ball varies enough...

I have to emphatically suggest against the Meucci repair crew. I had a cue done by them, sent back due to it being poorly done, and finally got it back looking ok but with a replaced (without explanation and no prior damage) butt sleeve. The sleeve was not black like the original. Every Meucci...

I don't know BCA rules, but I played APA and the only time BIH was in the kitchen was after the break. As for the original posted rule, I've never heard it. It makes a lot of sense, and I've been in bars where the deliberate scratch was viewed as the most clever thing imaginable. In those...

I went to two Magic 8 Ball online sites and asked if Emily Duddy was a professional pool player. The first said no, and the second said it was doubtful. It didn't ask about gender, income level, or for a current definition of "professional" as it relates to pool. To be thorough, I asked if she...

I used to do this to people with the water fountains in the engine room of the carrier I was on. A quarter inch gasket punch and a coke bottle cap made a good orifice plate with a thumb tack sized hole in the center. It's amazing how many people don't push the handle, look at the water, and then...

Break cues on the low end have a lot of fans, myself included. You'll get 10 different recommendations, and none are probably outright wrong. No experience with the Kaiser, but my Players JB5 model has done everything I've ever needed at a great price. I bought a used J&J for a beater cue set...

How big are you talking on the diameter? I've been using a Players jump/break for 6+ years that has a 14mm tip. I've bought and sold a lot of cues in that time and can certainly afford a different break cue, but none that I've used has done anything better than what I have. It's a $79 monster as...

I just want to know how people can live in a BO cloud constantly and not realize or care. I'm still laughing at the image I got of somebody doing Stank Windmills and clearing the room!

Depending on how well I know the person, and whether I like them or not, I might let them use my cues. My use of them takes priority, so if I need them in the middle of your match... sorry about your luck. I bring a couple of newer pieces of Masters chalk to the table and put them on the rail. I...

I'm just here to comment and take a chance at randomly winning a super terrific case. While I'm here, and somewhat related to at least one or two pages of this thread, how can I tell if my Instroke case is leather-dust-and-glue? I'd hate to have it melt in the rain or something.

Gus Zambodie probably did make that cue... who's this Szamboti fella y'all keep mentioning?

Oscar Wilde said "Marriage is the triumph of imagination over experience." I've been in the "never again" category, and like so many others I gave in and took another chance. Just like your first round rebuy, I hope this new chance pays off! Congrats on the implied engagement, and in any case...

The TAR break-bucket is a less frequently discussed but equally viable alternative.

Come on... Not a single "The game is the Teacher" yet? I didn't "real-eyes" this place had gotten so serious! :) Apologies to the OP for adding negative value to the thread.

If you were selling a cue with puppies and cars inlays, it would be criminal not to include those joint protectors.

I appreciate getting them with a cue, but it also don't think I've ever beat anyone up over the price so much that they'd withhold joint protectors out of spite. Generic JPs I can see holding onto for use with another cue. Custom matching JPs should go with the cue they were matched to, and if...

I agree with the OP, it's maddening to see a poorly scrawled signature between the points of a really nice cue. Any given person can find, within their circle of friends, somebody who has unusually nice penmanship. If a logo isn't preferred and a signature is used, it should look as nice as the...

It does sound fun, and fairly easy to handicap if so inclined.
