    What color set of pool balls is best?

    Your table, your balls. It doesn't matter if someone else likes it or not. But you will never see pink, cyclops, NFL or others on my table. Around ten years ago I had trouble seeing the edge on the six at any distance. It was a furniture grade green that the ball was lost on. Enter a mint...

    Shoulder or back issues?

    Snapped my clavicle in half skiing maybe 25 years ago. So my left shoulder is about an inch and a half closer to my neck than the right. Long hours playing will fire that shoulder up, so I don't, for the most part. It's easy to take breaks in the basement vs. a poolhall. Attending pool schools...

    When did the home table become popular?

    Whoa, I feel the same as Black-Balled. To the point that I added a little Valley bar box next to the GC. Now I don't have to go to a pool hall or bar. I do hold regular games at my house and most of my friends have tables too. So we all move around. Until last spring we would ride our...

    Difference in diameters between shaft and butt

    Ha, even the thought makes me cringe, to the point of, NO. It would drive me crazy. But I'm OK with that. Crazy I mean.

    Mezz wx900 discontinued...?

    Just a guess but,,, Go over to the Mezz USA website. The WX 700 is on sale the 900 is not. Over to playing cues the EC 7 series is on sale, the replacement EC 9 is not. The same thing with the Mezz sneaky pete. The original MSP is on sale the MSP 2 is not. I believe they are clearing out the...

    Suggestion for long distance pool table movers

    I agree 100 percent with Black-Balled. But we both live in the same general area and I think we know/use the same mechanic. What I read here about some table mechanics is quite sad.

    U.S. Mail delays

    Jay, funny you should write this. I ordered a poster and dvd from you a couple of weeks ago. The tracking showed about a week to Virginia. The poster came in five days early and the dvd a day late. Go figure. Stuff from UPS & Fed X has been tracking right on schedule. Going back twelve years...

    Favorite player and least favorite player?

    My favorite is Earl. He's a lot of fun to watch. Either shoots beautifully, or has ah, anger management issues. I can relate. I also can understand how many dislike him.

    Story on how to learn

    Bob, I do have donuts all over my table set up for your SF Billiard Academy progressive practice drills and I thank you for that. But I also like the idea of setting up various offsets for those stop, follow, draw shots while paying attention to where the cue ball goes with what speed. It would...

    Story on how to learn

    What if you look at it from a low level player skill set. OK so you need an accurate and repeatable stroke. Up and down the table you go touching the tip on return. Then stop shots diagonally across the table. And follow and draw and, boring. I think what the writer and Dan means is maybe to...
