    Specs on Dale Perry Cues

    I've bought 3 DPs over the last 5 years and I think he makes a hell of a cue for the price. Realizing that the balance point will vary based on shaft diameter and weights added to the butt, I just checked 2 that I own. One is a 21 oz with a 12.5 mm. shaft. The balance point is 1.5 inches...

    Brandon Shuff

    I've known Brandon for about 5 years now and I can only agree with what everyone has said. He would be an excellent representative for any company that sponsors him, he's an excellent all around player and I can't wait to see him make the next leap! Stay the course, Sho Nuff! Brian in VA

    The truth about the GSBT event in Bristol TN

    You forgot food. So are you saying they should be running the event for free? As long as some of these events last, I can't imagine working for 12 - 14 hours without some kind of compensation. If that's your opinion perhaps you understand why there aren't more high quality tournaments, tours...

    What are the best excuses you've heard or said for losing a game?

    "There's no pocket there." "I flinched right before I lifted my head." "My meds are starting to kick in."

    BCA ruling or perhaps just common sense?

    FWIW, in my league I let the team captains know that it's their responsibility to know the rules, agree on rulings and decide what should be done in all situations. If they can't agree on the ruling they can come to me for it and I will rule; at that time, it's over regardless of whether I'm...

    Will someone w/break speed app do a test???

    I'm no physicist. That said, I believe the laws of physics and gravity would cause the cue ball to begin decelerating immediately after contact no matter whether it's airborne or rolling on the table. This has been shown and discussed for a long time; go see Dr. Dave Alciatore's website for...

    Is there a pool table in your home?

    Brunswick Anniversary 1952 edition, 9 footer with Simonis 860. There are a lot of battle scars on the rails and my wife loves the character of it. Brian in VA

    Step Two for Team Name!

    Dirty is in the mind of the beholder. If you want to see some double entendres that many of us were exposed to in our formative years, watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 50s. Only we didn't know they were until we saw them as adults. That's the way this sort of thing works. Don't like the...

    Brunswick Anniversary Question

    I'll look to be sure but I think the edge is feathered. It's strange but after I wipe them down with a damp cloth, they seem less "dusty" but still seem to mark. On your question about streaks, the only cue that they leave a visible streak on is a Cuetec that's about 18 years old. All my...

    Brunswick Anniversary Question

    Happy New Year to everyone! I have an early 1950s Anniversary and it was converted to drop pockets back in the 1980s, according to the lady from whom I purchased it. The pocket liners feel like rubber or some kind of similar composition, slightly soft in texture. I'm not sure if they're...

    Are pool schools worth the money?

    You can be taught new tricks if you're willing to learn and apply. I believe that when you stop learning, you stop living. I can give you a review of Randy G's Pool School which is based in DFW but also travels the country. I went to it about 3 years ago and it was the best gift I've ever...

    What has improved your game most in the past year?

    I received the Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots for my birthday from my bride. These 5 discs have shots in them I'd never even thought of and being exposed to them has helped me learn some new things that have improved my safety play by about 50% or so. I've also made my practice session more...
