    "What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in "What?"

    Right? Is there, like, a sign up sheet or something?

    My new player 2001 Nitti!

    Sweet cue. I traded for a comparatively plain (four points of Amboyna Burl into Birdseye Maple, no veneers) around 7 or 8 years ago and it's now my forever player. I've had numerous cues customs over the years and when I started playing with this one, I realized that it plays as good as or...

    Arguing with experts

    Exactly. One cannot brute force their way into being correct.

    What is in your bag currently AZB version?

    Don't get me wrong, I know why my cue case is in the bathroom. It's just that he doesn't. I've tried to explain to him that he's got no arms, legs, or even a brain to use as defense if someone tries to run off with him. He's about as sharp as a sack of wet leather. But he's fun so I keep him...

    Arguing with experts

    "Is it anonymity? Unavailability of physical violence? The quality of scorn that can be delivered in either?" I'm no scientist, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that these three things account for the majority of it.

    Arguing with experts

    Amen. It's pretty apparent that a lot of the folks who like to argue with experts either lack the ability to be or have never been humbled. I remember when I first started playing semi seriously at a pool room. I knew I loved the game and played better than my friends in college who only...

    What is in your bag currently AZB version?

    It looks like it's wondering why it's in the bathroom.

    Arguing with experts

    Short attention spans, lackluster reading comprehension, and ego are three of the main culprits to this. If it makes you feel any better it's prevalent in the vast majority of online forums. Many people get all the information they "need" from a single sentence or headline. When folks do...

    Very cool Meucci 95-17 Camel 8 Ball Classic tournament cue

    Man... That Super 7 patch is a blast from the past.

    New cues vs older?

    I assume the joint pins are different between the Cuetec and Falcon, no? If not, just put the Cuetec shaft on the Falcon and take it for a spin to see how you like it. If they are different you could sent the Cuetec shaft out to have it changed to whatever pin the Falcon uses. Then you could...

    weight in one pocket,what to do?

    You're not wrong. But personally I'd much rather be making $20 and hour playing one hole than $25 an hour flipping burgers or, worse, dealing with the public. I mean, I wouldn't want to try to make a living playing for $20 an hour. But if I'm already hanging out in a pool room I might as well...

    Tire kickers

    I understand that tire kickers are a part of sales. But it just gets overwhelming at times. I have to say, though, the ones who drive me craziest are the ones who seem to just want to talk and/or argue with zero intention of buying anything. I had a really nice Samsara for sale on here years...

    weight in one pocket,what to do?

    What are the typical scores? I mean, if you're beating the guy 8-0 consistently or something like that it's not going to make much of a difference. So, basically, just keep track of the scores and figure out what your buddy consistently gets to and average it out from there.

    Cue stick stroke with a spin.

    This is best used with The RAM shot. All joking aside, don't waste any more time with this. The only thing it's doing is making the game more difficult for you.

    People buy this stuff?

    These aren't being marketed to anyone who frequents this forum. They're being marketed to those who worship Predator and/or perceive more cost as more better.

    Amazing 1 of a kind Volturi Cases

    Those are all amazing! But, man, if I had a case that nice I'd feel like I'd need a case for my case. :p
