    Broken ob 1 ferrule....here is how you fix it...

    I would think that ebony would add too much weight to the front end thus eliminating any of the characteristics that and OB shaft is supposed to be well known for? dave

    Does the thickness of the carpet effect the playability?

    I would assume that the thicker carpet would result in less energy transfer from your table........to your floor...........to your feet. So you wouldn't be getting any feeback to your toes. The best choice for carpet material would be purpleheart, Bacote, some like stainless steel, and if ya...

    Outside english on cut shots...

    Ideally, if you watch and pay close attention to higher level players as well as pros, because using outside English on a cut shot is almost considered a given, patterns are generally played in a way that allows a player to use outside on most cuts. Generally speaking, using inside English on a...

    Ten thoughts from the US Open 10 Ball Tourney (part 1)

    Tagalog is primarily the national language. Watching Gomez choke on the hill-hill game ball, pretty straight shot with a good amount of green, was encouraging in the sense that now I know I can play like the pros!! dave

    SuperVan vs. SuperMan -- How did the match go last night?

    That 10ball that Gomez chocked on reminds me of myself. For me at least, a nightmare shot for the game hill hill. Still don't know why he chose to go two cushions around the 10 and then way over, instead of one cushion striaght up the middle of the table. Even Mika questioned him after the...

    Omega dpk 5 point w/ silver rings!

    Just my opinion as a looker. I have always been curious as to one day possibly owning an Omega DPK, so when this cue first posted it initially caught my eye. However, after much thought, although I wasn't in a position to purchase it, if I were in a position to buy it, I probably wouldn't have...

    Borana vs OMGWTF

    Ok, call me stupid, outta the loop, uninformed, oblivious to the world of pool. WHO THE HELL IS OMGWTF? Pro player? Good amateur? Banger? Well known money player? Billiards enthusiast? dave

    new tip before a tournament?

    The other guy said it perfectly. If you have a tip right now that is not comfortable because it's worn down, then you know that you won't become comfortable with it over time. At least with a new tip, you know that if it doesn't feel good right away, it's nothing that a two hour session won't...

    I Hope Efren Reyes is set for life

    In my opinion, the smartes move he has made all these years was remaining in the Philippines. A player, and national hero of his nature would be tempted to settle overseas somewhere, but he's stayed home, and a 'home' he gets alot more bang for his buck. dave

    Eyes were opened tonight.

    I remember the first time I ever saw pro speed up close was when I drew Tomoki Mekari in a pro-am. I was still only about a year into my game, and thinking I was progressing well. He ran rack after rack, and thinking back now, he was really cool in the sense that he played me (the table) hard...

    Gambling vs. playing for money. There's a difference.

    You're right, he's doubled his investment, but what I'm talking about is how almost all forms of gambling have something to do with you getting a chance to wind a greater return than your initial investment. $5 lottery tickets for a chance at $20,000, $20 bet in pocker for a chance to win the...

    Gambling vs. playing for money. There's a difference.

    When I had money, I too would play anybody............and straight up. Pros, shortstops, whatever. I wanted to see how I stacked up against their games, and putting forth a little bit of money to make it worth their time is only common courtesy. But still that's not gambling, it's pretty much...

    Gambling vs. playing for money. There's a difference.

    I still think that Gambling is definded at an attempt to beat the odds in order to take turn a small investment into a large return. Relate that to pool, it would have to like one guy betting $20 against the chance of winning more than his/her original $20. So when you have two guys putting up...

    Pocketing or Positional

    The first and most important part of position play is accurately knowing where the CB will go naturally. Then it's about knowing how to change it's natural course, and developing the skill to make it happen. But back to the 'knowing' part. Always pay attention the where the CB makes first rail...

    Lee Van's Tats

    I had wondered the last couple of years that I lived in Japan where tats among even the Japanese youth were gaining popularity. Remember the old rules where 'onsen' and 'sento' wouldn't allow those with tats inside because at the time it was usually considered to have something to do with the...
