Between skill and having fun, I'd go with Alex.

This may not be for everybody, but it's a shape line that I play all the time and with a lot of confidence. What is nice about this is that the first two rails are running english but the third is reverse, which naturally kills the speed and gives you a reasonably wide margin of error with the...

Stroud just gave some good advice, but a teacher can help a lot, too. For that, I also vote for Tom Wirth. From everything I've heard, Fusco would be great too.

You know, I think this is a pretty smart observation. I'm pretty confident either way, but the draw approach just feels more natural. I suspect that's for the exact reason you identified: it's the pattern I would play for if I was running out from an earlier ball instead of having BIH. I'll...

1. This shot is definitely the way to play it. It's *so* fundamental--a variant comes up in basically every rack of 8 or 9, and it's fundamental to nearly all runouts in 1 pocket. If it's not easy for you, then practice, practice, practice till it is. 2. It's true that follow is more reliable...

I am out money and have no cue, what else is there to say. The lies were two months before his sickness, assuming that part is true (it appears to be). Spend away, but have the cue in your hands first!

Marshall Piercy: Liar and thief. But he had some nice looking cues for a brief period of time. Do you have his address? Cory P.S., I know he may have in fact gotten sick, but his lies predated that story, whether true or false.

Cary's is a great place, but you can't rent the table. In fact, it's free, so you just put your name up on the board and wait your turn. Winner stays.

My JB case is great, but the strap does slip off the shoulder. My Timbuk2 messenger bag for work is also great, but the strap also slips off my shoulder. Surely, there most be something that will be a bit more sticky and nonslip. Some sort of space-age polymer?

If you ban bumping, all the complaints will shift to being complaints about new posts for old stuff. The problem is that this is a marketplace that needs prices. Something small would probably do the trick. $1 for the initial post in the for sale forum and $1 for every subsequent post by the...

It looks like a pint of blood during surgery costs about $200 to $300. Of course, if it cost a nickel, the whole collection, testing, and distribution system would break down and we would have much less blood during surgeries. That would be really bad. Prices are pretty good at directing...

Fair point. But that's how pricing works: if he doesn't like it, then he doesn't signup for the tournament/league. Both he and the tournament/league are better off.

What is the appropriate price for "simple photos from an accident"? $0? $100? $250? $728.47? What distinguishes "simple" accident photos from non-simple accident photos, and what is the appropriate price for non-simple ones? (I'm only addressing the side discussion over applying subjective...

What does "for that league match" mean? I could read that as being the overall match or the specific match that caused the offending team to go over 23. Viewed in full context, it seems to mean the whole team match is awarded 0 points, and I've always understood the rule to be that the whole...

Well, since you asked: I'm playing my first season of APA 9-ball. I won my most recent match 55-3 in 6 racks, with three break and runs. Definitely above average for me, and pretty fun. Cory

I've known Jersey John for 10+ years (don't see him much anymore, though) and he never mentioned being the 1976 ACUI champion! Thanks for the link.

Without knowing the quantity of lessons she sells, you can't possibly say if $100 is too high or not. Presumably, if she found she weren't getting enough takers, she would drop her price. So the most likely case is that she has enough customers at her current pricing. I know she's doing some...

And the speed leaves zero doubt that was exactly what he was trying to do! Really amazing, thanks for posting.

Good, so Jillians has improved since I lived in Champaign!
