As soon as everyone finds out how well the new 4Skin tips, from Steamer Cue Sports Ltd., play, there won't be a need for any more of these tip threads, Dick. Our 4Skins are available in kinda soft, semi-hard, and diamond cutter, and each one is done by hand. It's the only way we know how to do...

I am not a gambler other than the occasional dollar a game team One Pocket. There is always the possibility for ruination, as a gambler. It just depends on how far you take it, or it takes you. Tread lightly. :smile:

For me it was the United States Navy, 1965 to 1970. I was aboard the USS Talbot County, LST 1153, from '66 to '68 which just happened to be the only freakin' LST in the whole wide world of sports that was steam powered. Can you guess who spent his watches, while underway, standing in front of a...

Absolutely. Playing on a table the size of a football field, then moving down to a nine-footer, would make anyone better. The same principle applies when you go from a tournament size to a bar table. You can make everything in sight. :smile:

It could be a problem with your eyesight. You might have that checked just to eliminate one of the possibilities. Another could be your skill level. Are you a good enough player to expect a high percentage of ball making? I have always thought that a good indicator of shot making prowess was the...

No, no, no. Side is what the Brits have with their fish. As in a 'side' of chips. :grin:

Did you know, Cornerman, that originally, when cuing right or left on the cue ball, the British wanted to call it English, but decided that that was a bit self-serving so called it spin, instead? I heard that when I was in Paris. :smile:

What the hell is a PPV Steamer test. Did someone name a new STD exam after me? You can't be using peoples name without permission you know.

Jammy, You cannot be all things to all people. It's just too hard to do. Take me for example. On this forum you see me as a tall, handsome, man-about-town kind of guy with a quick wit, a dazzling repartee, and money out the ying-yang. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. In the real...

From what I've heard he's not as nice as yours. :rolleyes:

Yes indeed. Thanks, pt. I can attest to the French tips being state of the art. I bought a pack from a machine in the men's room at the State Line Tavern, just the other day, and was pleasantly surprised. They were both delicate, and strong, with a very pleasing aroma. Although one of them...

It's because cues, and cue tips, originated in Europe where they use the metric system. It's also easier to say thirteen millimeters than zero point five one inches, for a standard size tip. If I'm not right, I ought to be. :smile:

Other than Tramp, some people call me the Space Cowboy, some call me the Gangster of Love. Most of the time they just call me Maurice. :cool:

Probably the only table in the house with brown cloth. I'll tell you what, folks shouldn't poo-poo the poo-poo. A friend of mine was playing an out-of-towner some One Pocket, one evening, and had him down about fifteen hundred bucks. The guy takes five to go crap and my friend never sees him...

Yes. But, that was precisely what the OP's question was all about. That was the breakthrough! :thumbup:

You're wanting to mingle with your own kind. All perfectly normal. It's called socializing and human beings happen to be social animals. :smile:

I sure do. I had to shit like an adult and was forced to break through the line in front of the men's room at our local Sports Bar and Grill. I almost didn't make it when out of nowhere a fat guy intentionally blocked my way. Luckily, I was able to cut a big one that was so rank it caused the...

Behavioral scientists look at it two ways. Nature, or nurture. I believe that both those things make up the exceptional pool player. A young man, or woman, is given the gifts at birth (Nature), and the experiences of life (nurture) give him, or her, the road to the top. As for me? I was born...

I am truly honored, my friend. That old rust bucket still has a few miles to travel before she sleeps. Look at her take on those waves by her head. Beautiful. :smile:

I'd be Buck Naked, porn star and champion pool player. Some of my films include: 'Debbie Does Dallas, Denver, and Des Moines', 'Driving Miss Daisy Crazy', and 'Me, You, and a Girl Named Boo'. After I get out of the STD treatment center I plan on touring the country with dick.....I beg your...
