The reason I don't do that is because I don't frequent the taverns anymore. I basically shoot against a few of my friends that are all 500 and up, and then shoot in a Friday night tournament the second Friday of the month at a pool hall 40 miles from me.

Back in the day when I frequented the taverns on a regular basis I often played a game within the game. I had a habit of playing the balls in in order such as 1 through 8, or 9 through 15 then the 8 ball when I played against someone on a lower level than I was. It would be more of a challenge...

Generally a baseball cap. Years ago I wore a fedora or gambler style .

Which ones have you used? I have not had that problem with their Ivory tips... All tips get harder with use except maybe the bulletproof tips. Thats just the nature of leather.

There are 3 different types of Ultraskin tips *The black play very similar to the kamui black in all hardness ratings. *I do not care for the Fire tips. *The Ultraskin Ivory medium are currently my favorite layer tips.. they get a little firmer after break in and stay at the upper end of...

The average players I shoot with are mostly around the 540 - 550 range. jason severson, terry schilling, travis arndt, and a few others.... there are some around the 500 mark, but I wouldn't consider them stud hustlers.

I would agree...... He was better than your average bar room hustler though ; ) I was not of his caliber - realistically I was probably around 600 In those days I lived in a Hotel above a bar and usually closed down the bar when my work day was over spending a good 4 to 6 hours playing pool daily.

Around central Wisconsin/North Central Wisconsin where I was weaned on pool I would venture to say 600 would be a better starting point. Those days I watched Randy Lamar go to tournaments and shoot for whatever anyone wanted to shoot for in 9 ball in the adjoining bar all day while the...

My Fargo rate started at 397 and 9 Robustness after my first tournament... It then went to 400 but stayed at 9 robustness after my next tournament ?? After the next 2 tournaments which I took 4'th, then 3'rd while beating a couple people with a 543 rating my Rate has jumped to 504 with and...

My Meucci HOF 1 came with the Classic shaft. As far as QC it was flawless when I got it and other than a couple blemishes it has developed on the grip from normal use it is still awesome.

I bought my Meucci from Muellers pool and darts catalog when it came out in the 90's. It was labeled as the 95-11 but has more red in the color and looks identical to the HOF 1. I didn't pay anything close to what it sells for today (320.00 I believe compared to around 800.00 today) It is still...

I'm thinking the guy running the tournaments here is probably a league operator and based my starting rate at 397 considering how I fell flat on my face my first tournament?? My rate has gone from 397 to 400 but robustness has not changed ? Thinking that after my last tournament everything...

Thanks.

After my first match a couple months ago my first rate was at 397 after my 2'nd it went to 400 where it has stayed... The last tourny was only a couple days ago. I will give it a few days and check again. : )

After 18 years of retirement a friend talked me into playing pool again. My first open tournament that is held once or twice a month at a local bar/pool hall I fell flat on my face and was given a 397 rating. I have shot in 3 tournaments since and each time working my way closer to the money...

Maybe Walmart will have his perfect cue?

I have been using Ultraskin Ivory tips lately and am very impressed with them. I also have a Bulletproof Recoil tip that I will be checking out soon.

The Ultraskin Ivory are pretty awesome tips... and you won't find a better price on a quality tip anywhere.

I have found that to be true as well, and I also like the feel on the shot and the way they hold their shape and require minimum maintenance.
