    New "Forever" line of Billiard Shirts

    Frederick! This is a good idea. However, I have to say that, personally, I don't really care for the lion-player image too much. I'd like to see plain Ts available in various colors on which you can have printed your slogans in various languages. Plus "10-ball forever" would be awesome :)...

    Thanks guys. I really need it yesterday. In the end decided to go for the cue linked above with Next Day delivery :)

    Good break cue?

    I need to buy a break cue super-fast. Can anyone recommend something decent under $100. This one looks rather good and has good reviews: http://www.pooldawg.com/product/elite-purple-break-cue-with-wood-pin-and-joint Is 16oz best? Any other recommendations? Thanks!

    I rock :)

    Don't wanna sound at all smug, but I've risen two APA 8-ball SLs in 3 weeks. I'm pretty pleased :) Now just need to keep up the standard... The strangest thing is my team captain is definitely a better player than me but he's rated an SL below. How does that work??

    Poolroom Humanity: Gave Me Faith in Poolplayers Again.

    A heartwarming story. It's fantastic that you could help this poor lady out of her horrible situation. IMHO though the guy *does* need to be judged. There is NEVER any excuse for domestic violence against women. He was lucky you didn't give him a taste of his own medicine.

    Poll: What's your primary game?

    Interesting. There must be several times more ppl out there who play 8-ball, but 9-ball voters are voting here en masse. Must be some kind of pride issue :)

    I'm excited about my new cue!!!

    Me too. I've got a ~$500 LD-shaft-cue on order. I'm even more excited now as a few days ago some jerks broke into my car and nicked my current player (worth ~$150) and my GPS.

    Do you take advice from players below your level?

    There are a couple of guys on my league team who are appreciably better players than me. I watch their games closely so I can learn. But now and then I see them playing shots I would never play in that situation and which often turn out to be errors of judgement. I then have to decide whether...

    Need some feedback

    I did a survey on these forums recently about cloth color. TAN came out overwhelmingly as the best on the eyes. It looks quite different to the grey you have there: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=2317552&postcount=11 After that, I'd go for the deep blue.

    Performance Anxiety

    I had the very same issue when beginning league play for the first time. But once I got used to how things worked, the environment and the people, and made some screw-ups in front of my teammates, the anxiety largely went away, and has only come back once since then. Playing in a tournament in...

    Chalk, Glove or Nothing?

    Buying a glove has improved the smoothness of my stroke immensely. Plus no more cue-towel needed. My stroke still sucks, but at least it's now smooth :)

    How good does an APA team need to be?

    But not intentionally or perceptably so.

    How good does an APA team need to be?

    IMO having the CB leaving the bed of the table is against the spirit of cue sports. The balls are meant to roll, not fly. Any other type of flying ball is penalized, why this exception?

    Would you invest ten dollars a year topromote the game of pool, billiards, or snooker

    I would gladly invest a lot more than $10!

    How good does an APA team need to be?

    I've found 1-2 drinks before my match makes me more relaxed and play better. My team are currently #1 and crushing the opposition. We are certainly not "scum". We play and score fair and no one is sandbagging. We always play to win. We practise. We're hungry for success and our excellent...

    9-ball now closing the gap!

    Poll: What's your primary game?

    8-ball still only a nose ahead!

    Do you know these men?

    That's a very good break for someone who doesn't play much. I love pool, but snooker does kinda make it look like a kiddies' game.
