    contact lenses

    Ask the doctor about daily wear lenses; even if you're not going to follow through (because of cost) you'll probably get a week or two supply. Dailies are awesome to have for all-nighters in smokey places. I've enjoyed contacts for a few years now, and am about to finally get laser correction...

    How good are you with your opposite hand?

    I'm adequate with my left hand as long as it's not a power stroke shot. I can pocket medium shots and stroke about half power before my fundamentals break down.

    Counterfeit Money

    I haven't, but I might do it during some free time at work today. That bill just stays in my wallet, waiting for the next bet to pass it back to my friend.

    Counterfeit Money

    Luckily never got a counterfeit bill, but I do own the filthiest dollar bill in existence. Looks like a crackhead shit it into a pile of meth, then a meth freak ate it and shit it out into a strip club toilet. Maintenance guy fished it out and got a minute of love from the tranny stripper before...

    Fun Stuff... Need help with a name.....

    If you're playing up the control virtues, you might call it the Power Plant. I'd stay away from bundling the tip with your chalk though. Naming could get awkward.

    Sharpest Return Points

    John Nemec built a cue for me using some materials from my Navy uniform when I got out. i regret nothing about my dealings with him. That blank posted by K-code is awesome! I need to send John an email and say hello.

    Players quick release pins and inserts

    On the off chance somebody can point me in the right direction, I'll bump this one time. It got some views but zero replies last time. Looking for free info or to pay for the parts/extension... not looking for freebies.

    Preparing for 7 ft on a 9 footer.

    I run into the same kind of problem going from 9' to 7' tables. The only effective thing so far for me has been to allow at least an hour of 7' practice just before playing. If both sizes are present, say the tournament is on the 7' tables and the 9' tables are open for action, don't even look...

    Players quick release pins and inserts

    Hi there, cue makers! I have a Players J/B cue with their quick release joint. They call it a Turbo joint, but I believe it's the same as what Lucasi uses. J&J's quick release looks the same, but the shaft doesn't screw on all the way and feels wrong. In any event, I would like to get a few...

    Why are there more WTB threads in the for sale section then in the wanted section?

    "It won't last long with this price drop!!!" -posted in August. Lol.

    Why are there more WTB threads in the for sale section then in the wanted section?

    Visibility is better in the sale forum. If I were selling and getting bumped down, I'd be more pissed about the sterling individuals who've been trying to sell the same mid to low level crap since September bumping their multiple threads all at once. One of my favorites in particular is a...

    APA 8 Ball Proposition Bet

    "Honest 7"... In which game? APA 8 ball rankings stop at 7... a player who moved up from a 6 last week to a 7 this week and a player who plays a ball under SVB are both honest 7s. The odds will vary based on the player involved, not just the effectively meaningless handicap designation.

    * un·scru·pu·lous eBay Seller

    Last I knew, the seller has the option whether to show the questions and answers on the listing. You can certainly ask, but it won't necessarily show up.

    How do you handle losing?

    I mostly just pay off and try to put things behind me. If there was a shot that had a few options, and I didn't get my desired result, I might try out my ideas until I find the highest percentage choice for me. Other than that it usually doesn't come down to anything specific enough to agonize over.

    A pool reality show that actually made it?

    My name is Dallas and I grew up in Tx, but a smarter, faster man had already taken the 'boys. If it earns me a digital friendship token and a signed, hastily photoshopped Rocky vs. Apollo Creed poster with yours and Cleary's faces on it then I'll have gotten my money's worth. I hope y'all are as...

    A pool reality show that actually made it?

    If there's any printed promotional material, can I get one signed and sent? At some point one of these requests is going to yield wall decorations for me.

    Bakelite Tip/ BCA League Legality

    I've had mine for around 6-7 years I think, and love it. I bought a J&J from someone on AZ to put in a case with a cheap cue that I could leave in my truck and, while it works, I don't like it nearly as much. There's a small but perceptible difference in quality to me. The Players JB cues can...

    Bakelite Tip/ BCA League Legality

    I have a Players JB6 and the tip and ferrule are separate pieces. I like mine as it was delivered, but if you desire a different tip I believe they would change it prior to shipping for a nominal fee.

    Crazy Teams in League

    My female-captained APA team went to Vegas and played a team of men who appeared to be of Arabic heritage. Most of them were cool guys, but the captain LOST. HIS. SHT. because he didn't want to deal with a woman. I think his behavior sharked the hell out of his whole team, they lost really bad...
