I can't be bothered with repping people either way so it wasn't me. However, I can be bothered with telling you that you're input here is useless and uninteresting to anyone but yourself. I hope you're getting something out of your complete waste of time because it's coming at the expense of...

Nobody brings you drink. You go to bar to get drink. Bartender serves you a drink. You tip nobody in that scenario which means you don't tip bartender. Bartender gets stiffed. I believe I understand correctly, no?

The feud should be settled with a race to 20 at a neutral pool hall halfway between them and streamed live on the site. The loser pays for the transportation costs of both of them... Aiming systems are exactly like religions it seems.

For me, going over Robert Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots turned me from an APA sl4 to an sl6 in just a couple of months. Of course coupled with the reading of the book came lots of practice specifically playing the shots in the book. The inspiration and ideas from the book spurned many...

I'm with you on the crappy predator graphics. That amount of ugliness shouldn't be on a pool cue. I have no input on break cues... Several years ago I had a phenolic tip put on old cue of mine and just use that. While it works better than a house cue, I don't recommend it unless you want a...

I see some people looking quite negatively on the teams that joke a ton and drink a ton and also stating those are losing teams... Just to be the contrarian, I've been on and captained a team that was filled with alcoholics that would get falling down, stupid drunk, would shark our own players...

For crazy pronunciations just come to Massachusetts where they make up their own way to say all the city names... Gloucester is pronounced sort of like glawsta Worcester is pronounced sort of like wussta Peabody is pronounced peabiddy where you say the "pea" part as quickly as you possible...

Does anyone have any recommendations for instructors in the Boston area? Looking for a lesson or two for my girlfriend and I. She's new to pool (APA SL3) and I have moderate skills with better theory knowledge than stroke (APA SL6)...

If your whole team wants to get drunk and have a good time and you want to play as good pool as you possibly can, you should find a new team. On the other hand, you can use these events as good practice for blocking out stuff that doesn't matter. When I'm playing well someone could take my...

So, we're learning that some retail stores suck? Stop the presses...

I'm guessing the reason for all the cases is that it's league night and his table is a host location so it's all the cues for all the players on league night. Right? It has to be. :)

This is an area of game I'm consciously working on and can do it away from the table. Having moved to Boston in the last year the level of sharking and poor sportsmanship is at a pretty high mark. Where I came from, in Hoboken, NJ, players were much more cordial and about playing the game well...

Someone here has quite a complex... I too type fast. Will I be accused of having a feminine type job by a misogynist? Only time will tell... Thanks for all the aiming chat. People that get emotional about this stuff (while ironically calling others out for doing "women's work") have some...

You refuse to tip your bartender because the management won't hire a server to bring you a drink? I don't see stiffing the bartender as the noble way to go about your frustration of having to go to the bar to get a drink. The pool halls I tend to enjoy don't have servers parading around the...

I have a Meucci from the crappy era (2001 or so) and it plays just fine... I've hit some friends Predators and have always come to the conclusion that it would take me a long time to get used to the different hit and could never justify the money spent on a another cue that may, or may not hit...

I've only been here a short while and I see the Duckie makes some smart posts, and some not smart posts. This falls into the not smart category. While the jury is still out for me on the significance of dominant eye, to think making a shot without aiming somehow disproves that aiming makes you...

Cool concept. It seems to behave a lot like poker satellite tournaments.

There are still some big names... Allison Fisher, Jeanette Lee, Gerda Hofstetter, Vivian Villareal, Ewa Laurence... Not a bad line up, but yes, the field is definitely missing some of the heavyweights...

The thought is probably that if the CB and OB were a chalk distance away, the double hit is really pretty easy to spot without having to use some written rule, so it accounts for the end of the spectrum that should be easy to enough to hear and see. The APA rule is that no double hits are...
