well, thats not me exactly.:wink: but we all know we are amateurs with a goal to be more successful in this game. we just happen to let our personalities and insecurities get in the way. im just glad i never needed pool to earn a living or id be starving.

the guy who talks about how good he used to be before he quit for many years. im actually talking about myself but its a true story. at least thats how i remember it.haha

lets agree to disagree. i play at both pool halls and i am confident the majority of tables at either place are about the same.

i agree that diamond tables play better. one benefit is the rails are more lively than gold crowns so its easy to get around the table. those hard gold crown rails make it necessary to stroke the cue ball harder at times and rely often on a draw stroke which we all know can sometimes get us...

this isnt accurate information. the pocket sizes are smaller than most breakers tables. table 15 at SGC, for example, is a triple shimmed table and the stadium table in the rear of the room is double shimmed. the problem with golden cues table is the ball return style pockets. they reject...

breakers is a great pool hall but its lack of parking accomidations keep some players away. but its nice to play on tables with pockets that accept the balls easily. SGC has a ball return set-up and its not uncommon to have a few balls rejected when its needed to let your stroke out.

im obviously aware of the year. its an archived article. none the less its nice to know we dont just breed some of the best quarterbacks, we have a great pool player in our ranks.

im looking for a compotent technician to repair a cue of mine. i recently aquired my first cue that was once stolen. it has been through hell. the butt/forearm section doesnt roll uniformaly. has a wobble. my observation seems that is originates at the joint. also, the butt cap isnt flush...

i have went from a stand shaft to a LD shaft and back to the 13mm standard shat and have found i do better with the standard shaft. it is almost like the LD shaft was a training tool to improve my mechanics. now with the standard shaft i get much better action and control on the CB. i cant...

one on ebay right now for about $14,000. have at it. :D

when gambling, when someone spots you a ball or two how does this exactly work? everyone i have always played for money against was straight up. for example: if someone where to spot me the 8 ball in a 9-ball game... not thread jacking. adding to the getting weight scenario.

i watched that one too. i guess its benefit is you can play pool in a small area.

i guess forced and unforced errors are one in the same....:wink:

i think the reason pool player make alot of excuses becuase alot of the times we beat ourselves and allow our opponent to take advantage of our mistakes. the winning player isnt always the most skilled player, it the player that makes the least mistakes.... especially in 9-ball.haha

how was the drawing attained? is there a design program you used or something? btw. your cue looks great. john

what kind of specials does your local pool hall have? south hills golden cue: $10 11am-7pm, 7 days a week. steel city billiards: $5 2pm-6pm and $10 6pm-2am both are great deals.

far as i know they are designed for people to keep valuables where temperature differentials can damage the items. i.e. antique furniture and art. also, alot of guys keep their antique cars and motorcycles in the climate controlled units. i assume these type of units are costly.
