    NY governor Cuomo announces on 2/14 pool halls in the state may reopen for business

    But only geezers are allowed to enter. It's his plot to rid New York of old people and pool players.

    Sure cure for chalk in the ball return.

    Weather check............

    Northern Virginia here. This morning when I went to get the paper on the driveway it was 30 degrees. It was very icy. I got to the paper by a short jump to the frozen grass and flower bed. The dog across the street sees me and heads over for a Milky Bone that he knows I'm good for. So Max...

    If you have more than one playing cue, do you alternate? or how do you choose.

    This, with my own twist. Sneaky on a motorcycle, fancier if in my car.

    2020 event cancelled.

    I have cabin fever, BAD. Awaiting the announcement this Monday. I'll have the second shot soon, willing to wear the mask and plan on bringing my own food & drink in the car. But I'm not playing anyway, only shopping for a new shaft. In and out the first day, then long gone by the time the crowd...

    Should the live streamer have stopped filming Billy's match when the verbal back-and-forth began?

    Well let's see how ticket sales go; Earl and Billy, drunk, pissed off, unchained. Probably no sales to the first three rows.

    Should the live streamer have stopped filming Billy's match when the verbal back-and-forth began?

    I really can't imagine blaming a video producer for somebody else being a drunken asshole.

    Sanitizing your Cue - Is Alcohol enough no immune system

    I stated earlier that I have underlying issues. About the vaccine, I've taken the first shot and the second is a little over a week away. Pool for me is only a hobby, I'm not very good. My passion is motorcycles. Even with snow on the ground I'm out riding. Always have, always will. Now if I...

    Sanitizing your Cue - Is Alcohol enough no immune system

    I'm a geezer who's walked away from two heart attacks and some other issues. If it's your cue, why worry? Bring your own chalk, it's the balls and cloth you touch. But other later reports say its not really surface contact that's the problem. It's all about the air. Now how do you avoid...

    Lucasi flexpoint vs Mcdermott g-core

    No, I don't. I know very well lots of good American company's have to carry Chinese goods. Including every pool dealer I ever bought from. But my days of spending many hundreds of dollars on a Predator or a hundred on a player are gone, as of winter 2020. I'll stop now as this is nearing NPR...

    Lucasi flexpoint vs Mcdermott g-core

    Tables/Service/Mechs

    I read the thread on the problem with the restoration. Was this table in PA. or FL? Last time we PM'ed you were trying to like the looks of a VI. Anyway I've been thinking John Burns could set up that table if you're in PA. now. I would be just so pissed. You are maintaining composure well.

    Why tournament blue?

    I'm a geezer, with cataracts too. Around ten years ago I found myself losing sight of the six ball at the far end of my 8' furniture grade table. I went to SBE to see this Tournament Blue thing more than anything else. I was convinced. I then found a deal on a Gold Crown IV and any cloth I...

    If You Know You Are Going To Miss.......

    Look up Bert Kinister's 8&9 ball 60 min. workout. That's shot #21, reversed. It would also be shot #5 in his shot makers workout, but that brings the CB across the table, no help for the six.

    Getting Real

    Fastone, I know it sucks but some bars had strange rules. Just like calling and even marking a pocket, then bank three rails to get around the blockers, making the ball, then getting called on it. "Hey, you didn't call those rails" Drunks have strange rules too. You have to be a regular.

    aiming with ferrule/tip the same color

    A couple of my cues with white ferrules I took some very thin black pin stripping tape, cut it even thinner and applied a line to the ferrule. Stays on without any problems and easy to remove. If you used white tape it would be quite a front sight. Available at any auto parts store.

    Position markers for practice

    fast one, your right. bbb is referring to the the reenforcer's of olden days that were made of fabric and you had to lick them. Not that I'd know anything about that. The new ultra thin, plastic base self sticking kind were made just for pool. The ones that Scott mentioned for $8.99 a thousand...
