The idea of shots off the pack I think are different than dead ball shots out of the pack. Dead balls are just that dead. Just hit them and they go. The shots you describe are shots that still have a high percentage of miss to them. I have practiced them and found on my table I'm about 40% on...

Thanks for the replies. And yes it is the wood undercarriage of the table not the slates. Andy

I am going to redo failed glue joints on a 1930's era pool table. Should I use the traditional hide glue or a modern glue? Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks for you opinions, Andy

And the non breaking player is still on 2 fouls. Andy

I was asked to sub in a straight pool league. That game changed how I look at each shot and each shots position. Andy

I would add a snooker table 10' or 12' depending on room size. A great game and the ability to have a golf game going. Andy

Thanks to all Andy

Thanks for the reply BilliardBills. Andy

I have been using Talisman H (domed) for about 8 years on several cues. They give great feel and last me about 8 months on my everyday player. Very consistent. (They will delaminate if you use a tip pik on them) Andy

This was more like a 42 and a 20 with a circus shot in between. Still a 62. Feb 14, 2014 YouTube Link: http://youtu.be/-YJ5vLZMkZo Andy

Thanks for the info on the Slade cue. Is the Meucci a 4-84, its hard to tell from the picture online. I know that values are subjective but I'm looking for a ball park for my insurance. Andy

The first one is unknown (to me) the second is a 4-84 Meucci (I think) both roll with no wobble. The unknown cue has two shafts 12.5 and 13mm both shafts are 29 1/16" its butt is 29". There is a difference in the two shafts trim ring. The Meucci has a 12mm tip and is 28 9/16" its butt is...

Sparkle84, It didn't seem critical in a negative way, but a critique, and well thought out. There is some very good advise in your response, thank you for taking the time to respond. Watching the video, after yours and others comments, I see things I should have done differently. Your insight...

Dan, Thanks for your well thought out response. I did not like the cut on the five, It fit but not by much. I considered the 2-9-1 to start but the combo on the bottom rail laid real well from where I was. I don't like leaving two balls on the rail as a loose rule. Your suggestion of starting...

Flash5152, I started that way because I was practicing my opening break shot. Then I like to see how well I can return the safety. Andy

Sparkle84, Which shot(s) were you talking about? Which shot would you have selected instead and why? Thanks, Andy

Try and find an opponent that has some straight pool knowledge. I subbed in a house league and got hooked on the game. Andy

Looking for hints, tips and/or suggestions. This was more like a 42 and a 20 with a circus shot in between. Still a 62. All comments welcome. Should I keep the camera at the end of the table or move it to the side for better coverage? Thanks in advance. YouTube Link...

So I'm guessing that this new members only area will be advertising free. I have spent several thousand dollars with the advertisers on this site over the years. This is how I support the site. I just don't see the value of a members only area. Andy
