Yogi Berra, as a kid I lived a bicycle ride from his bowling alley. He was always nice to the kids and would sign anything. Funny too.

Schmelke didn't give their postman a Christmas tip.

My basement is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer. My good cues are all in cases either hidden on top of a bookcase or if being used lately standing in their case on end next to the bookcase. My cheaper "loaner" cues are in a floor rack very near an outside wall. Others are...

Since that pin is not original to Joss, could it be that the shaft developed a hairline crack at the joint? Then the long shaft insert was glued in to save the shaft? The photo is to blurry to see the grain.

Mr. Dogg, JC just said it best. SR was being a DICK. Why, because he could. Keyboard warrior and all that. To run down someone makes those types feel big. It's a reflection on him, not you. As others have said put him on ignore as there's nothing really useful to be read.

I was just thinking the same as Nick about SVB. But the last time I saw him break I was on the far side of the room. With that long bridge and superb timing it looked effortless and I couldn't hear the crash of the balls. But oh man, the balls would rocket everywhere. He makes it look so...

I have a big bottle of Silver cup that I hid eight years ago. My home table looked splotched green from over use. A vacuum? Forget about it. I got my GC and buried the talcum. This post reminds me to go dig it out, it hits the garbage this afternoon. No powder, use a glove. No glove? Tough...

This is weird, I can cast a fly better with my left than my right. If I tried to cast a spin rig with the left, I'd hook my ear. I can shoot a revolver at a very high level right handed, with the left, just as well but twice as long. If I shot pool left handed I'd poke an eye out.

Black-Balled, a legitimate synthetic for steak and hamburger was developed. It's called tofu. Does that work for you? Sometimes the original is better. As long as there are hotdogs, cue tip material will be available.

In North Jersey they just use a backhoe. No need to get sweat stains on your Armani.

Head SW on I-4 to Largo, Fl. Look up Scott Lee.

Any table is better than no table. If it has roll off or dead spots on the cushions that's all to your advantage to learn them. Then if you get serious buy a Diamond or Gold Crown.

Basic black is appropriate everywhere. That's your cue. A couple of years ago I bought the Predator "classico" model based on a photograph posted by RickLafayette. I thought it was the most beautiful, perfect cue Predator ever made. But for me, slapping a Revo shaft on that perfect butt would...

Is this owned/invented by a Nigerian Prince?

Please stop the pool, billiard, snooker table controversy over dialect. Or the world's foremost expert on pool, billiard and snooker tables might slither out of the swamp and rear his ugly head. Oops. Come and think of it that would turn this into a really interesting thread.

Surprised, no. It was pretty poor compared to Billiard Digest.

Maybe the tables are "schitty" because vertically challenged people try to stretch across the table with the tipless cue and without the missing bridge and rip up the cloth. What's with the worthless snark?

The crappiest table I ever played on was in a motel lobby in Grafton, WV. There was only one cue that had a tip on it so I grabbed it. It looked like a mushroom. Anyway the table had so much beer spilled over the years that the cloth ramped up to each pocket. Some with a couple or three little...

Enjoy, absolutely not. The lodge were I live has two nine foot tables that the interior designer had dark navy blue cloth with underpowered table lights. The guys with no tables like it. Those of us with good tables, lights and cheap beer play home. When your seventy good lights and bright...

China? Say it ain't so. I'm really pissed at China right now. A week ago I got a email saying a modified Predator shaft I was on a waiting list for is in. No. That's it, I'm not buying anything I can avoid if it's from China. No more Predator, hello McDermott. Revo, go suck a egg.
