Watch Crane's 150 against Balsis. Two things stood out to me. 1,,,he cowboys the first few racks, and for a legendary position player his racks weren't overwhelmingly impressive. 2,, the announcer waxes glowingly about position play like he never seen it before. Like any game, there's simply...

For dead pool players, maybe.

So what were the results? The Final standings? I can't find a thing on this event.

Freeze the turd and varnish it

Try all the house cues at your local room. Buy the heaviest best hitting cue there. Replace the ferrule with an good aegis. Replace the tip with a hard buffalo tip. Cut the cue in half a have someone make it into a 2-piece with a thick, big metal joint(brass is pretty good). The heavier and...

Cuemakers set their watch to "cuemaker time" which is somewhat akin to "house renovation/general contractor time x 3". Your experience is no different than hundreds of thousands of people like you. Not only are most cuemakers irresponsible, they prioritize their jobs. Just because you got your...

He's a failed artist, I think. He needs a platform

No one could get him to make cues even when he was making cues.

I think I'd prefer a "show us your Ginacue" more:smile:

It's less about the gambling and more about the atmosphere, environment, and the people who do the gambling. Watch any movies in the past and note the way pool halls have always been portrayed - a veritable "den of iniquity". Under such circumstances, all the bad things that gambling represents...

You're now free. Spend more time at the gym:)

You have the right to sell at any price....I wouldn't trust you though.

My guess is the best go out to the best cuemakers and who also deal in volume before it trickles down to you. Straight grain is important but I think high ring count is overblown. I have great hitting cues with shafts of maybe only 3, 4, or 5 grain lines down the middle.

I think, not sure, but back then SW cues had a different profile. It was coke bottle shaped so there's a barely noticeable thickness at the grip. Mine does - it's a Kershenbrock SW

You can always play bowling. Bowling is a game where you break a 10ball rack and give yourself 2 misses to run the table, and score with a modified bowling scoring system. It is not break dependent because you run the rack like straight pool. The better you get the more consistently you will...

Using increments of pluses and minuses is too overdone. Just using A B C D open and pro, I'd add 10 balls to each number. Pro level should be at least 250, and open about 160. But yes, 14.1 is the best indicator because as you say it's not subject fortuitous rolls or the layout of a table after...

Straight, tight-grained, stabilized shaftwood. We can figure out the rest

So you're saying it's better to be good than look good, eh? Hmmmm, never thought of that. And all this time I thought emulating Efren would make me play like Efren.

Put a shot clock in. I thought it was pretty f**king funny watching Earl run around the table.

There are no game participants more caught up and whiny about luck than pool players.
