    My first DCC trip this year

    I arrive on Monday 20th, but will not be able to go there till the evening Monday or Tuesday. I am planning on either taking Wed off or doing a half day to head to DCC then.

    My first DCC trip this year

    I may only be there for half of one day, on the 22nd. I looked at the schedule and the 9 ball does not start till the 22nd. I have no real interest in the banks or one pocket matches. I am flying out on the 23rd.

    Efren & Get Well?

    I was told hurt shoulder and maybe some other things, nothing serious to his health.

    My first DCC trip this year

    It turns out I have a work trip in Louisville on the 19tth. Coincides very nicely with DCC, I am going to take some time off and take a day or two to see things there. Do they allow table rentals for after the matches are over or do most players head to Railyard or someplace to shoot with...

    One handed break challenge... let's see what you got!

    This may be better on the Reddits or the TikToks than AZB. No bar, no jukebox, no silly breaks, this is Ames, mister.

    Efren & Get Well?

    He won't be around, but Yale re-did the show with some other folks. My son had to re-do his plans at his pool hall as well, and Earl is filling in. Did not have anyone that bought tickets drop out due to that.

    Predator Revo Restocks?

    If Predator can't tell you, not likely anyone else can. The 12.4 on their web site are mostly sold out, period, black or white. Look for a used one around you, or eBay, or from a reseller like Seyberts, etc...

    Joss original color of money?

    They changed some color and inlay details, but they all had the same general design.

    Great quote that lots of players need to read in an effort to speed up the game.

    And at the same time, many people say guys like Rodney would have played a bit better if they took a bit more time on some shots. Not all ideas and methods do the same for everyone. When I see bangers trying to show off to their girlfriends, they run around the table like it's a contest to see...

    Taom chalk question.

    It may have been put on there as a joke, but likely not since some laws are just idiotic. The Dell computers we buy at work have a large 6 inch long warning not to take out and swallow the CMOS button battery that is on the motherboard. People, in general, are idiots. It seems like 10% of the...

    I have a APA by Meucci Cue . Need info !

    How much players like the cues does not matter much to the value. The quality over time, and the fact that there are so many other as good, or better, choices now make Meucci cues desirability mostly nostalgic, not due to how great they are. They sell well on eBay due to brand recognition and...

    Traveling with your cue

    I wish I saw that earlier, looks like a well built travel duffel. Too bad I just ordered an aluminum one with snap locks, I got fed up with luggage zippers, they tend to fail a lot, and I hate the expandable flop of the middle section. At 230 sale price it's not too bad.

    Is it worth going to the Billiards Expo in Philidelphia?

    For my money, it's the best amateur pool event out there. DCC is geared towards gambling and high-level play, but SBE is filled with league players and equipment vendors, more fun IMHO for more players. You can also find all sorts of action at SBE as well, just on mostly 7 ft tables. It's...

    APA SL Q - Based on 'Bud Light'

    I am always amazed how someone can play in a league for more than a few years, and not rise up above basically beginner levels. 10 years as a 3, you should improve past that even by accident just by the time spent randomly learning to make balls even if there is no learning behind it. Only way...

    New Room in New Jersey

    My question is, why are there two 8 footers? Seems a bit strange. Either make them two more 9s or if the space is really tight, 7s. Why add in an odd duck in a room that has two perfectly good size tables that are in common use everywhere? Anyone know the owners and can find out? Six seven...

    Something You Would Never Say Out Loud

    Then there are guys like Pat that thinks the opposite as he used a shorter than normal cue. I am actually not sure if anyone else did that.

    Something You Would Never Say Out Loud

    While not having anything to do with odd habits that I do while shooting, I hate admitting around good players that I really do not like 1 pocket and feel it's an annoying game that takes the fun out of playing. But I am guilty of pretending at times, and can get away with it because I do watch...

    International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

    We should try to do another AZB tournament there if enough people are there at the right days. While it is around Thanksgiving, I may be able to sneak away to there then. I am sure someone knows enough folks there to get some tables reserved for this after the matches are over.

    Are any carbon fiber shafts low deflection?

    A sliding tip would just make the shaft longer or shorter, it won't do anything to the deflection. It would be like moving people around the seats in a car to make it lighter. The only thing that affects how much a shaft deflects is the mass of the shaft, especially in the first several...
