    Question About Sharking

    Is this considered sharking? Last night I was playing my friend's team and he chose to leave all his stuff right by my chair. I was looking at his chalk and it looked terribly dry. So, being a friend, I licked my thumb and put it in his chalk. I explained to him that this reinforced the...

    Decreasing Pocket Size

    Hey guys, do mechanics have the means to make pockets tighter? I have an 8 ft table that I am considering doing this to. Are there any disadvantages to doing this? Is it expensive to do? Thanks Dan

    Self Implosion

    Thank you very much. I started focusing on my process and stopped worrying about the result. That seems to be helping. I think the key is not to panic and just play.

    is $1.50 too much for a game of pool?

    We have to pay $1.27 per rack. They are currently talking about a .02 increase. Oddly, the vending company is owned by a retired postmaster.

    Self Implosion

    Over the last couple weeks my game is really dropping off, just before this, I was running racks and never second guessed myself. Now when I get down on a shot, I have no confidence whatsoever. No only that but every part of my stroke feels out of whack. It's really bizarre but it's a...

    Lag question

    I think he means the ball crossed over into the opponents "half" of the table.

    Glove Or Powder

    Every six months, I go to my favorite auto body shop and they treat my hand with a crystal clear sealant. Same as they use on BMWs. You can't see a thing and you are always prepared. Make sure you wear goggles before application and DO NOT attempt to get this done at Maaco, they sealed up...

    Close pores on shaft

    Weiru, I am sorry, you haven't read the Blue Diamond thread. Please disregard my post. Seriously, when I have this issue, I use a q-wiz, I don't use any other cleaners. Personally I think a modest amount of skin oil and dirt help the shaft.

    Need your help

    Hey gator, I actually contacted them (nick's website) and since they were unable to find a nearby dealer, they sold me one directly along with a couple other items.

    Close pores on shaft

    From what I just read in a previous thread, it's possible you can rub the shaft with Blue Diamond chalk. It's very abrasive and it doesn't wear down, the residue will fill the remaining pores.
