I am hitting the cottage more this summer, and our lock down ends this week. Already booked to hit my hall and hang with the gang. @jay helfert sweet ride. More of blueberry than a cherry ;). Shot of 1y border collie on the dock at the cottage. You are looking across the lake at the...

The cue i loved most was my first cue. A old canadian dufferin. Ebony maple fullsplice, with the white wedge at the bottom. the glider joint. Dufferin called it the Excalibur. I still have it but as a stupid kid i left the butt in car in the summer when i worked 12h shifts and it warped...

I have a childish sense of humor, and the irritable bowel syndrome glove always makes me snicker. People like the glove, but geez, put some thought in the name.

I love my whitten tube dividers. They are hard enough not to let the cues.shaft bang against each other, and narrow enough to not allow alot of movement. Easy to get in and out. Best i have ever had. Wish i bought one 25 years ago. Joe was an absolute gentleman and great to work with. My...

I love they name one semi-pro. Quasi pro, not quite pro, almost pro, kinda sorta pro. Tiger makes quality products. The name just makes me chuckle. Before someone points it out, i know it is about the taper, but someone new to pool looking at these could well think "do i want the...

Posting some pictures on the OPs behalf. That walnut looks great.

@middleofnowhere the new trend with non-wood cues are the real deal if you get the better brands. As you said in the past the old non-wood cues were usually terrible. The new carbon fiber cues from reputable companies are comparable to high end wood cues. The difference now comes down to...

I will look michael plaxco and see what he says. The idea for me is to associate something i do that reminds of what i need to do. Similar to muscle memory, when i say it out loud it reminds me of what i want to accomplish.

I turn my brain off by focusing on some thing that reminds me what need to do. For example, when i am down, preshot routine and stroking i count my practice swings. Nothing matters at that moment but those numbers. And when i hit 5 i stroke through. I force myself to repeat an action by...

These black crowns are all over southern Ontario halls in my area. 9ft tables are at most of our halls in the area. These play nice, with the rails not being as bouncy. Compared them to a diamond and balls roll much less distance. I prefer gc's and diamonds but no complaints playing on a...

Our league doesn't allow phones while in game. Usually the players are lenient if it is a one time call. I usually put my phone in my case so i dont eve see it. I think it depends on the situation. Very casual , for fun games check you phone once in a while, no problem. But if spend every...

Not so embarrassing for me , but i have a story. It was Halloween and my hall was having a party later that night. We got their early, playing mid afternoon. There was this stunning blonde woman dressed in the usual sexy halloween costume. Looked to be in her mid twenties with two guys also...

I know that In boxing and fighting in general lefties advantage is attributed to being more familiar and use to an right handed opponent. A righty is not use to fighting a lefty but a lefty is use to fighting a righty. I can't see pool having an advantage. Head to head competitive sports...

I have found that any carbon shaft i tried really transferred power much easier as garczar said. Draw was easier more responsive to my stroke. Often harder tips and ferrules will help with that on wood shafts for me. A friend let me try his motley. It hit had that same transfer of power...

I have a few i collected over the last 7 or so years. I have had a few others but let some go to friends when they needed something. 1. Tasc 4 pointer. - 3 shafts. My latest pick up, and i want to play with it more. Stupid lockdown. Had it for 3 or 4 months now, and played with it 3 times...

All the bca leagues i play in are if the 8 is on the table, game continues. Scratch on the 8 is not game over unless you pot and scratch on the 8. It would be ball in hand if the 8 was on the table. i haven't played apa, but we would consider scratch on 8 a loss in bar pool rules. Sounds...

I have know a few of those folks. If it is to avoid that i can see it. The logic seems flawed if you are calling the pocket as well.

I never understood the reason for mark the pocket. Sure, call it even if it is a hanger. But mark it ? Seems to have no value add but adds stupid overhead.

Could that Japanese or chinese script ? Looks like one of their characters.

I think our hall is 9 dollars an hour. However, regulars and leaguers get a break. Use to be 5$ flat rate to play. Covid had that raised to 10$. I will play for 5 hours and usually leave with with a 20-30 $ tab since i get a few drinks and/or snacks. The family that runs it is good...
