Yes. No topics are verboten. The requirement is to treat each other with respect, attack the argument not the person. No name calling. We would like civil discourse, just be nice to each other. Oh, and do not critique, debate or defy mods/admin on the boards. If you have a comment/complaint...

Cool.

That's a picture of four tables next to a mirror, right?

He stopped seeing girls with loco daddy's.

I had a foster brother who took a similar hit when he was about 15. He was a few yards farther away from the muzzle as his pattern was more spread. After it healed (they didn't try to remove the shot) pellets would slowly work their way to the surface and fall out. Ouch!

AZB member Newsheriffintwn, makes a CF shaft 11.8 or 12.4mm for $300 and some gorgeous cues.

Miscues are - tip related. - chalk related, or - edge of cb related. But they shouldn't be shaft material related.

No, talk to someone with one and they will let you try it out. You ain't gunna hurt it. And you can get a very nice CF shaft to your specs, for 3/4s of that.

Test other CF shafts. I have three from different makers and they all hit a little different. I had to reduce my English by about a tip and concentrate on center cb when I don't want any English. My only adjustment from an LD maple shaft.

I think some guys blue their cues intentionally. Some of those maple shafts are so dark they look like CF.

Thank you, Mike. That seems clear and fair. I'm sure we will refer to it often.

The left one is using parallel English keeping the entire cue parallel to the intended shot line. The right one is using "backhand" English where the cue is aligned across the intended shot line.

I was breaking camp after a week of archery deer hunting in the Cascades. In the process I dropped a piece of firewood across the top of my foot and ankle. No big deal, I finished breaking camp and drove home, three hours. On the way my ankle began to throb, no big deal. The next morning I was...

If the butt is aligned center cb but the tip is at an edge you have described "backhand English" or a form of it.

Spiders we got. These are very common and their web is sticky and very strong. They like to string web through the bushes and across any open space about head high. They rebuild lost webs in record time too. Fortunately, they only eat insects and small birds. This one is about hand size.

A lot of the members are too young to know that kneeling like this in the hallway is what we were taught and constantly drilled to protect us in the event of a nuclear bomb. The kids on the right did it best. That way you can at least kiss your buddy's ass goodbye.

I didn't run into "cheating" so much as misunderstanding of rules. Their rule that the 1 and 15 go in opposite side pockets and that you cannot disturb the opponents 1/15 ball I didn't like. also their definition of "clean" was problematic. If your 5b is near the side pocket and I use it to...

Imagine how I felt moving to a Spanish speaking country with weird rules. My only advice is play for fun. Don't gamble unless you are sure of the rules and don't bet more than you can afford to lose.

What one considers "clean" varies substantially. the "ball and pocket" call is supposed to eliminate those "not clean" complaints. If it was the right ball and pocket and you hit your own ball first, you should be good under "ball and pocket" rules. One reason for 9b's popularity is the...

Why not just use the standard unit of measure, degrees? As in, "approaching the long rail at 45 degrees".
