    Pitching a pool club in uni or school or work

    I wasn't part of any of that. All the tables had been there for a great many years before I went there. Old 9 ft. Brunswick tables about a dozen of them from what I remember. Not sure if there are as many now. I could swear the cue balls were worn to undersize.

    Pitching a pool club in uni or school or work

    I went to the University of Washington. They had a LOT of 9ft tables and a couple 3 cushion tables in a big room for a great many years. They never had an organized club or regular tournaments. Just rented time. One year I came in 2nd in a tournament they had for a sort of qualifier for an...

    Foul, or just rude? Or am I a nit?

    Why didn't you just ask him about it??

    Cue repair

    Now you know why you got a "good" deal on it! It has the "double pro taper"! I'd go for a new shaft and add the old one to my collection of fireplace pokers.

    How to handle aging eyesight

    I have the same and they work great for me. The taller lenses work well. I am never looking over the top of them nor scrunching my head back further to keep the site line below the top of the frames. Very comfy to use. Contacts would be the best but not all of us can tolerate them or are used to...

    Pre-shot routine

    Another good book is "In Pursuit of Excellence" by Terry Orlick.

    Best hitting cue you ever played with.

    Rich Chudy "Traditional" cue. I have three shafts for it but one shaft in particular has an incredible hit. I don't know why it is so different than the others.

    Paypal

    Well, sort of. That mostly depends on how you want to define "cheap assholes". There is little more to it than that. I do not give any consideration to "F&F only" sales. I do at least consider the the "add 3.5% for PayPal" listings. It may still be in the range of what I would pay. I never...

    Legal?

    Kind of a push and "steer" the cueball shot. He is clearly guiding the cueball by steering it with the side of the tip very briefly after the hit. He's good at it and it might get past an opponent in a weekly bar tournament but not the more seasoned players. Not in my book. Just a foul...

    A quote for cueists to ponder

    I talk to the balls and they don't listen. I sing to my cue but it don't care.

    I'm new to ebay, same cue listed by 3 different people for 3 different prices, what does it mean?

    It is not uncommon. I see it all the time with guitars on Ebay mostly out of Japan. Having asked about it in a guitar forum on Facebook, it appears there is nothing nefarious about selling that way. I understand that a guitar is in a shop and a few different people will put it on Ebay and when...

    Facebook

    That's wrong and should never happen. I would try to get on Facebook on a different computer. I think something is trying to scam you somehow and you have been redirected to a fake Facebook. Don't follow any links in emails. Go directly to the app you use.

    Poll: Which joss would you buy?

    Bottom cue. I like points and don't like funky stain colors.

    Re-Tip Yourself or Send Out? Tip Recommendations?

    I have always done my own. I get it that some people just don't have the time to do their own life being what it is and all. I just have some of the inexpensive tools you can get for doing it. I am never in a big hurry to get it done and I don't want to get it done just to get it out of the way...

    Cue wrap preference

    I prefer a very tight and very pressed Irish linen wrap for the most part. On a sneaky Pete, no finish at all in the handle area. I have had a couple super glue finish cues I really liked that were sneaky Petes. Played a few games with friends cues that were cork and leather as well as other...

    replaced two cue tips today-85 bucks.

    It's likely a lot of us perfected the "by hand" method many years ago when the only danger of screwing up a tip was losing a cheap Le Pro or similar tip that we bought by the boxfull anyway. We were just REALLY careful not to bugger up a ferrule!:eek: Not everyone is going to have the patience...
