I do know that leaving them in the pockets and not using them will be detrimental to your game! Brian in VA

It depends on the type of pockets that you have. If they're leather, there is less chance of damage to the balls although they will tend to get some dimples where they sit against each other. In plastic pockets, the balls on the bottom will get flat spots. And, you're right, leaving them on...

Because they can show someone the tip they bought but can't show the stream they paid for and how can you brag about that? Why will people drop $2000 for a cue but complain about $125 for a lesson? Brian in VA

When I was 5, my father bought an 8 foot table at a Montgomery Wards tent sale for $25. Plywood bed, bumpers about 1/4 inch think. After a few months you couldn't roll a ball up the rail. While he was at work, I would play. A few months later, he and his bricklayer buddies came home early on...

Congratulations Randy! I'm sure your secret is never to go to bed angry or with unresolved arguments. With 50 years in, I'm sure you've never had to stay up more than 3 or 4 nights in a row. :D Best to you both! Brian in VA

I've had this book for about 10 years. It's the best pool book I've ever read. Brian in VA

Don't know how good this is but I just googled it. http://download.cnet.com/Tournament-Bracket-Builder/3000-2136_4-10436272.html It's allegedly a free download. Brian in VA

The season finale was excellent, John! Well done to the entire cast and crew! Brian in VA

FWIW the captain of a team can be anyone but it doesnt matter how anyone but the team feels about him. It sounds as if the players on the American team approved of the choice, both before and after the matches, and that is all that really matters. The team did their best, IMO, and that's all...

Why do you need to justify it? The most important part is it works for you! I would like nothing better than to have someone tell me I'm doing it incorrectly as I'm taking their money. :D Brian in VA - believes that your stroke is yours, not anyone else's.

I like it John! Very nicely executed on a great looking case! Brian in VA

And this is a very good pool novel! I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Glad to hear it's on Kindle now, Bob! Congrats! Brian in VA

You should also check out Rich R. He posts on here, is a semi-amateur photographer and he has taken terrific shots of contemporary pros. Brian in VA

I think about this a bit more simply. Human nature is to remain in ones comfort zone. And learning new things requires stepping out of it. Here's an example. If you already know how to drive a car with automatic transmission, you are unconsciously competent at that skill; you can do it...

Jeez Pops! That makes you a synthetic human in transition! Happy Thanksgiving! Brian in VA

The last time I was there I played at a little place in Kitty Hawk but I've just done a google search and it doesn't appear anywhere. Not sure what that means! Good luck in the search! Brian in VA

Episode 3 is absolutely hysterical! Brian in VA

Difficulty of Election FWIW, in most sports, are reserved for the legendary players or performers. (You could certainly make the case that it's that way, most of the time.) I believe the BCA has focused in the past on those who have made large contributions to the game (meritorious service)...

I'm assuming it's a 9 foot table. If so, I have a 4 light hung from a bar fixture over my table. It has a brushed nickel look and lights the table very well. I put 150 watt globe bulbs in it and the lighting is just fine on my 9 foot Anniversary. I purchased this fixture about 5 years ago...

The game before the shaft breaking, he missed a different shot and stood right in front of me (his back was to you Eric) and he grabbed the cue near the ferrule and bent it back rather violently. The tip was probably 30 degrees off straight when he let it go back up. I think he was pretty hot...
