100% correct. CLEAN, ORGANIZED, with HIGH STANDARDS for your team and for your customers. Yes, absolutely NO CELL PHONES for employees while on duty.

I think for all of us who grew up in smoking pool rooms, the new norm is NON-SMOKING. It's nice not going home smelling like an ash tray. However, if you're able to create an outdoor space for your smokers, that is a great idea. You don't want anyone feeling unwelcome. Alcohol, Drinks and Food...

Thank you.

Edited my post to share the link where I originally posted pics.

Just received my SW cue in January. Wait was 15 years and 9 months 'ish. Worth the wait! https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/my-new-southwest-cue-delivered-jan-13-2021.525360/#post-6855707

Right. He was originally POOLSLEUTH many years ago (I've been on here since Mar of 2003). Then had two identities going at once until he got caught and settled with Cocobolo Cowboy. I always thought he was just sometimes obtuse....but now I think he is secretly a genius and has committed to this...

Sometimes I wonder if you're just trolling people. If so...you might be the greatest comedic genius in AZ history.

I grew up in Nashville. In the 90s - just within miles of my house there was SNOOKERS out by Hickory Hollow Mall, There were several "GAMELANDS" all around (I think Harding Place exit off of either 40 or 24,....forgive me, it's been 20+ years) there were three pool rooms on or just off of...

If you just need a "tool"...then you can find a good playing cue really cheap. I knew a stone cold champion who plays world class with a sub $200 cue and would laugh at people spending big money on cues. Of course he had no appreciation for cues other than their utility of the sport. Find a good...

JB made my envelope, Lou (and it is truly superb, I must say). With that being said, I know Rusty Melton could do a beautiful job for you! ;)

Fats talked like he was pretty tough to back up his talk if need be. I like when he starts laying out thousands during his match with Mosconi and says, "For any muggers, don't get any ideas. You don't know the half of the story. I'm the toughest $%& on earth..." LOL!

Great, another player ready to resort to violence over a pool game. "Earl talked during my shot, so I'll threaten him with violence." Fantastic. I miss the days of Nick Varner who didn't believe in showing any signs of weakness.

I second that motion! Congratulations, Jay - you'll be inducted in the hall of fame due to Chris' and my nomination.

Well.....tell us who.

Messaging you.

I purchased a brand new REVO 12.4 a few months ago and couldn't stand it. I ended up selling it super cheap to the guy who sold me my JOSS because he gave me such a generous deal as well. He likes it.

One more observation. All of the A players I referenced use standard maple shafts tapered to their preferred dimensions. Justin Bergman plays around here and uses an OB shaft (his sponsor) to GREAT and AMAZING success.

I think it also depends on the size of your hands to be fair. I think if that shaft goes through smoothly and quickly (regardless of size) you can generate a lot of spin....but, like Chili said, if the shaft is huge and cumbersome...then you can't generate the kind of stroke you need.

I was speaking with a local champion about equipment this week and noticed that he, and many other A level players around here like a skinnier shaft (around 12mm) with a very long taper. I do as well (and I'm NOT an A level player by any stretch...more like a C-). I like my new SW cue, but I'm...

I understand. But read my other post where I shared my thoughts on how to enjoy this game we love. There are a lot of wonderful aspects to enjoy.
