    Have you ever bought a cue without having tried it?

    I have purchased 3 customs without ever hitting a cue from any of the makers. I loved two of them, and absolutely HATED one of them. So, I am doing ok. The best purchase is my avatar. I am sure his newer cues play better, but for a banger like me, that beauty suits me just fine. Braden

    Time Spent on AZ versus Time Spent Playing Pool

    I literally said to my six year old son the other day, "I understood about as much of what you just said as I do of some of BlackBalled's posts!" He looked at me like I was speaking sanscrit. I may have a problem. Braden

    Time Spent on AZ versus Time Spent Playing Pool

    Time on AZ---Way too much! Time on the table--Not nearly enough! Time working while at work--No comment! Braden<-----keeps the chalk off of his hands by typing!

    Mathematics and Probability as it relates to pool

    What is the probability that a player during a match is calculating his/her probability of running out? What is the probability of knowing your runout probability during a match has any significant value? I see at as a risk/reward analysis, which makes it much easier. And most good players...

    I would wager with you, but sailboat fuel is strictly forbidden for use in my electric car. Sorry. Braden

    LOADED Alpert for sale - bridged veneers, lots o' ivory, bumperless hoppe

    This is the first time I have seen this thread, and DAMN!! That is a FABULOUS cue. I have seen a few of his other cues, but this one is amazing! Like Doc said, those bridged veneers are perfect. This cue might fast track him into upper-echelon cue maker status, provided it plays as well as...

    8-ball on a 7' vs 9'

    I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I love bar box 8 ball, and bar box 10 ball, but the tables play too loose, and too inconsistent. I am never going to be a world beater, but I think making the equipment better and a bit tougher would be good for the game all around. I think on a...

    Jeff Beckley vs Francisco Bustamante USBTC 8 Ball Hotseat Match Available Free

    Seriously Justin, you are the best! Speaking for myself, I cannot thank you enough for everything you do to make pool accessible to those of us who love to watch it. I am sure it is usually a very thankless job, and I would wager it takes a lot more of your time than anyone realizes. Thank...

    We Get What We Deserve

    I cannot comment on SBE because I was not there, though I wish I would have been. Therefore, this post will be a little off of topic. I want to comment on something Jason was writing about: pool and money. In one week, we have our VNEA state tournament. Now, in order for me to profit from...

    How long does it take you to get out of stroke?

    For me to get out of stroke: 10 seconds. For me to get back into stroke: 10 years. How do I know when I am out of stroke?: If I am holding a cue. Braden

    Please Critique!! *video*

    First, I think that if you have the balls to allow everyone on here to watch you, you are probably headed in the right direction. That is a great way to get some very good, and free, instruction. Second, I noticed the cue elevation and head movement. But, I am not an instructor, nor should I...

    National Rating System....It's Time

    Screw it, I'm in. I probably start out at about 250. After two beers, and some good tunes on the juke, I am rolling at 300. Another beer, and a shot of Jameson's, and we are back to 250. I lose probably 75 points if the establishment is frequented by the fairer sex. Take off additional 50...

    Stolen Scruuggs cue returned

    By far, this is the best thread I have read in a while. I hope the thief receives some justice. Congrats, and kudos to the gentleman who apprehended the stolen cue. It is great to see the good side of humanity every now and then! Braden
