That's just ignorant. Unless they are playing 1P no table should be that tight.

I'm not in the market for a cue, but dang that is a stunner! Good luck with the sale.

Yeah. I had to bow out of the next season of Monday night league though. It was rough. 5 men on a team and I was with a team that would buy a shot on about any win. Not every win, but when you're not a big drinker 5+ shots on a Monday night sure makes for an awful Tuesday morning. If you start...

I'm curious too if you don't mind. :)

I'd go ahead and set it up. Enjoy it in the meantime. If possible leave all the extra cloth on the edges so it will be easy to put on again and have something to get a hold on.

I'm in the same scenario. The table guys around here are hacks with a capital H. I got a used Starrett machinist level on eBay for $165 shipped. It's paid for itself many times over and I can always resell it if I ever wanted to. Leveling tables isn't rocket science, but there is an art to it...

I felt the same way with the butts. They are alright and worth the money but I just didn't really care for the feel. Mine was the US flag one and the raised stars didn't feel great to me when playing. If it didn't have the raised stars I could have lived with it. It's minor but you know how...

I'd love to see the pictures/process and see it go from a turd to a gem! It sounds like a good project.

I should have read the whole thread before posting, you nailed it exactly!

You didn't say this, but one thing, cutting grooves isn't necessary when installing any tips. I've done it in the past and it was an "old wives tale" of pool knowledge. It was kind of common knowledge that was passed around but looking at it objectively it was bad advice. It may have been more...

I hate those metal ones. Oftentimes the really cheap ones had a parting mark on them which could scratch or ding the heck out of your cue. Good riddance.

They can't tell your eyes are red if they can't see your eyes! ;)

Damn dude, are you trying to train an AI model or just like to ask dumb crap? A cap can keep the sun out of your eyes. Same for any light source, especially ones above the table. I hate to answer such trivial questions but that is the gist of it.

I honestly like the all ball fouls rule and am glad it's official. The first league (in house) I ever played in was all ball fouls 8 ball. Imagine my surprise when I came back 12 years later and it was CB only. I mean, I've benefited from it but it's a crap rule. I recently joined an 8B Ultimate...

They can be great for learning to park your cueball. But they will do nothing to teach you the break. You should be able to look at the rack and have an idea where the balls will end up and play appropriately. You also can't practice actually making the 1B in the side or similar. Parking the CB...

They are great. Get some form pooldawg8 and see for yourself. They are my favorite tip on any type of shaft. If you've not used them and just are a fan of layered tips, there is nothing a layered tip can do that a milk dud can't. I catch flack every time I say it but there can be no...

I love that it is played straight, you never are let in if it's a put on or not. If you watch you will also see some famous faces in the card game.

This is what I was thinking too. When the spin hits the 3rd rail it opens the angle/checks it and sends it on it's merry way.

I have a Joss my dad got at the pawn shop about a decade before he passed. It's not a high end model, the shaft has a chunk out of it the size of half a match head and it has some wear. But it does play well. Even if it didn't it would not be for sale. A lot of these "cheap" cues are priceless...

I'm hitting it with absolutely max right spin in the center of the vertical. You want to hit about the first diamond if possible. Let the spin carry it 2 or 3 rails. Of course make sure you don't scratch in the bottom left pocket but it should be smooth sailing. When the spin takes off the first...
