Good luck with the Masters' League. I enjoyed the one at First Break for several seasons.

I write music, see the link to my page in my sig. I also paint and enjoy cooking and landscape photography. I play tennis. There are lots of musicians in many different genres and I think it's a rather stable hobby. Likewise for photography and painting though perhaps fewer dedicated...

It's worth mentioning that running a high number of balls in practice is one thing. Running a big number in competition is another thing entirely. You will be more risky in practice as there is no penalty for missing or busting open the rack.

Perhaps it's Low Deflection Chalk with 8 radially spliced pieces for your pleasure, er performance.

Congratulations to both you and your sons Rick! Those are both great reasons to celebrate and just in time for two big family holidays.

I saw a very good room in Florida put themselves out of business by adding a dance floor, karaoke and having loud rock bands to entertain their patrons. Once that started I believe they only lasted 1 or 2 more years before they closed for good.

Only for practice shooting off handed shots. What do you feel you would gain by switching?

First Break Thursday Night Tournaments in Sterling, VA, not too far from Alexandria maybe 15 -20 miles.

and yet no one picks up the phone and calls them...amazing

I think it depends on the person. The floor creaks when I walk on it. I can't imagine what a pool table would do if i hopped up on it. :)

I"d guess it's possible but I would think in pristine condition with 2 shafts more in the $900-1200 range to a serious collector. To someone who just wants to buy a cue maybe $500-600 tops.

I agree with the free fall idea but I think ultimately it may need to fall all the way and bounce a few times and then start over.

That makes sense unless its the same player who doesn't always show up every night that won the final match when the teams were tied that send you to Nationals or gets you the cash. If you short change those who win for the team when the pressure is on it will likely comeback to bite you in the...

No particular reason Rick. I was just suggesting a few names. Welcome back to the forum.

I would be surprised if someone is copying his cues vs. a more popular and expensive cuemakers work, like a Searing, BlackBoar etc. Maybe there is an exceptional demand for his cues that I am unaware of.

Would there be any support for a live streamed event with a team of Old School Champions playing an all around with the New School Players.? Old School Team (Nick Varner, Mike Sigel, Johnny Archer, Earl STrickland, CJ Wiley, Efren, Busty, ??) vs. the New School Team (Alex P, Brandon Shuff...

I wonder if Nick Varner still plays banks at a high level. I would like to see some of the veterans vs. the new guys.

I've been re-tipping cues by hand for over 30 years. The pics posted showing the Porper Big Shaver, Rapid Top cue sander, tip file(sandpaper insert) and glue ( I use Loctite Gel) are all good I use a rubberband to hold the tip in place while it's drying. You don't need a lathe and it's not...

I had wondered how much they weigh, in this picture below it appears to have some mass to it.
