    what do you pay to have tips installed?

    In NYC, I've asked Blatt Billiards (a billiard supply/table/darts/table top games store) in Manhattan and they said they do it for around $12, I think that includes service and a standard Le Pro tip. I've also called a pool hall in Brooklyn and they said they'll do it for $12ish as well for a...

    Practice Aiming on Your Computer

    This. Totally. I've played VP3 so many times I swear I see a grey transparent ghostball sometimes when I go to shoot. Btw, how do you move object balls on the trickshot set up mode?

    Any ideas?

    I must say as well, $3.60 is a hell of a good deal. I can't find a pool room in NYC where it's less than $4 something or $5 per hour!

    Do you let others use your Cue ?

    I only let a select few of my buddies who play pool well enough use it because I know they won't slam each shot in and respect the cue. I remember one time I let one of my friends shoot one shot with it and he scooped the cueball. Once I heard that sound of the cueball contacting the...

    would you or would you not gamble against a close friend.

    I'd do it, but not where I would clean them out. Maybe $1-$5 because we both don't have jobs lol.

    The shot you can't resist...

    When it looks like I'm straight on object ball, I tend to opt for the bank but in reality it's a make-able cut shot if I shoot it at the right speed...@_@

    Do people really have an interest in how their case looks?

    A little bit, I mean, I'm not going to carry my cue in a supermarket plastic bag. I like a good balance of practicality, protection, and looks. Though I don't mind receiving a free custom cue case....hint hint.

    Getting Serious on Learning Cueball Control?

    Lucking and fluking shots are nice (and sucks when you're playing against someone who just bangs them into the pockets randomly), but I'd rather want to be able to set up positions to pocket the balls easier. I understand what english does to a cueball's tangent and what left/right does to it...

    Pool Hustler, or Shark

    Yeah I think this is the case nowadays and we, as avid pool players, think of the verb when it comes to the word shark.

    Pool Hustler, or Shark

    To me, a hustler is a con-man who knows he's good but chooses to disguise his skill for personal gain. Meanwhile, I know what to shark someone means, though I wouldn't call someone who distracts opponents while shooting as a pool shark, so a pool shark is a person who's really good (so is...

    Enough Already....

    Thank you, and I was serious about the question. I should've searched/Googled some more before I asked. Sorry!

    I just joined this board and I can figure out what's CB and OB but what does CTE stand for?! Sorry for the noob question... :o

    Coming Soon... the end of all aiming system calculating.

    I see you like to hustle your opponents by rigging the game with oval shaped balls and uneven pockets lol. ;)

    Coming Soon... the end of all aiming system calculating.

    Interesting, though I'm a bit skeptical about how he insists that it'll work for whatever English (even left and right) you put on it and also, he shoots at a considerable speed and the cue ball and object ball distances aren't that far. I'll have to try this out on when I have billiards during...

    8 ball break tips

    Lol, I've always shot for the second ball in an 8-ball rack hoping the 8 would drop in the side. Many times I've come close but never has it dropped and most of the time the cue ball flew right in the corner pocket. I would rarely get anything in on the break either! :frown: Recently I've...

    Rough/Scratched Up Ferrule

    Hi, I'm new to the forums and I've recently started playing pool more often and bought a starter Action cue with the Ultimate Tip Tool. When I first got my cue the ferrule was shiny and smooth, now it's all roughed up (I think it may have been from the trimming). Should I worry about this...
