    Have you looked at used tables lately?

    Weird, the owner of my local pool hall recommended I give him a call just last night....he must be the man up here. Thanks for the info!

    Have you looked at used tables lately?

    Buyer's market...except for gc 1&2, at least in the northeast. I've been trolling Craigslist from new jersey to Maine (search tempest is the best thing ever) looking for a good condition gc1 or 2 at a decent price and have found exactly nothing. Tables are either thrashed and priced at $800 or...

    9' table in undersized room

    Bad idea. You'll end up with a 1209lb laundry table covered in dust. I've known more than a few people who have gone this route and every single one except one ended up not using the table at all, or getting rid of it. If you can't play comfortably, you're not going to use the table. Saying...

    New JD tuxedo cue for sale

    Agreed! Fantastic cues by a talented maker...super prices also. I'll never understand why people spend similar amounts for production stuff churned out of a factory when there are cues like this around. Free bump Ajgrif2, hope this wasn't a derail. :)

    Chris Banks?

    Which arm are we talking about? Dominant or the other one?

    Chris Banks?

    That's just plain mean, mister.

    Ivory joint questions

    This might come across dumb, but I could be misunderstanding the exact question. Apologies if so. :) I have shot with many cues, and own a few very different examples. Honestly the ivory joint (I own two cues like that) does not make much differenc e in feel that I have observed....what DOES...

    Road warriors, past vs. present.

    . I have nothing to offer on the thread subject but an observation of how much things have changed: Back in the day there was a guy named Pete Glenn who was a road man who worked the Midwest mainly but traveled all over. He managed to not only support himself, but raise a large family (5 kids...

    Mike Dechaine

    It's a shame that "outright trolling" isn't a bannable offense here. He's not the only one that abuses that oversight.

    Old Guy KO At The Pool Hall

    This talk about lawsuits comes from people watching too much tv. There isn't going to be a lawsuit. The bar would be much more worried if they over served the guy and he want out and ran someone over.

    Old Guy KO At The Pool Hall

    Looks like a room full of dirtbags. No thanks.

    Mike Dechaine

    Nobody whining in this thread about some meaningless Facebook post would step up and play mike ever. And as for the mosconi cup, it is easy to sit at your keyboard bleating about missed shots or dogging, but nobody crying about that has ever played any match anywhere near as critical or as...

    What are the cities with the best pool scene?

    If you can't find action at kolbys I don't know what to tell you. Maybe there was action and you didn't see it. It's been a few years but every time I went in there I was getting clocked just playing an ugly game of 9 ball with a friend. If you want to gamble just ask, plenty there.

    TOI in ACTION Earl Stickland vs CJ Wiley

    I don't care if he's using these threads to sell a DVD. They are interesting and always seem to start some interesting conversation. Heck, people use this forum to hawk their dominant eye lessons, myriad aiming systems, and even their abilities as a table mechanic, so why can't we have a pro...

    Why buy a cue that is over $300?

    So why spend $200 on a McDermott when you could have just bought a $65 cue tech or $80 Viking or whatever out of the mueller catalog? Those are the same reasons people spend hundreds and hundreds on buying something nicer than a McDermott. Congrats, this is how purchasing decisions are...

    manipulating the system = sandbagging

    Good luck with that. Hope you enjoy Endless arguments. Good players can shoot two ways all day that 95% of league hackers will never recognize. For instance: if I rattle a ball and leave you with a wide open shot on your ball(s), but frozen to an end rail, good luck calling that a defensive...

    manipulating the system = sandbagging

    I played league for years: bca, apa and tap (the last in two different states). Every single one of them had sandbagging. Some worse than others. The ones with the lesser amount were in house leagues with a motivated LO who was there every week and watching matches. The ones that were the...
