I'm not saying for fact that CSI had anything to do with this event becoming a Mosconi ranking event. I'm just saying it's plausible. I'm purely speculating here. If they did, I don't even blame them. In the same position, I would do the same thing. I think it's pretty messed up that the World...

They wouldn't. But think about this. This move isn't to "save" this event this year. The entries are already in after all. This is to pay dividends for next year. After all, this is mostly an amateur event. Most of the entries for this event come from amateur players, and a lot of the allure of...

I can only call things as I see them Mark. For the record, I never even said it was a bad thing. I completely understand it from a business perspective, and as a businessman with a financial interest in the event I would be looking for the same kind of thing to level the field as well. Also, you...

Frankly, high calibre professional pool isn't ever going to appeal to mainstream audiences. Just like high calibre professional golf doesn't appeal to mainstream audiences. Golf has acceptance because it's a widely played game by a desirable market, yet it still isn't as mainstream as football...

Seems to me that this move was solely to compete with the World 10-ball event in the Phillipines. Any other reason doesn't make any sense. I think they stand to lose a lot of money on this event now that the World 10-ball coincides, so this is a last ditch effort to attract the pro players. Just...

I don't really understand. I play with an OB2 shaft, and it fits onto my Hunter with a modified 3/8x10 without a problem... The pin size and thread pitch is still the same, the only difference is the square root vs the v root. I can see how it might be a little tight if you're trying to put a...

I have for sale an awesome Eddie Farris cue (BB, pg 296). Everything white in this cue is ivory. Specs: -19.5 ounces with either shaft -Shafts (2): both are 3.8 ounces, 13.25mm and have Ivory ferrules -Solid Ivory joint with a brass radial pin -Real nice Ivory dash ringwork at A/B/E -Nice curly...

I have a unique 4 point 4 veneer PFD for sale. This cue was made by Paul Drexler in 2001, and was recently refinished. This cue has an ivory joint with a Uniloc pin, ivory Hoppe ring, and a leather wrap. The original shaft for this cue is a Predator blank, 29.5" long and 13mm with an ivory...

I agree. It's not the place to find a high end cue. It's great for break and jump cues though. I got a test hit only Jacoby jump cue with the extension for 110 shipped. And on the same hand, I'm having trouble moving a PFD or a Farris that I'm asking several hundred dollars under value for...

I like the Facebook groups better for buying and selling. They're just a simpler interface, easily searchable, and nobody can hide behind anonymity.

I recently acquired a Jacoby with the extension. I'm pretty happy with it. Best jump cue I've tried so far, and I'm done looking for a while unless a Lomax falls into my lap.

It depends. If the person I lost to has a bad attitude about it, (wants to brag, thinks they should beat me every time when clearly they're an inferior player, etc) I have no problem barking at them. I'm gracious in defeat if my opponent is gracious in victory. I'll shake their hand and tell...

I'll remember that, and let em know.

Edit: nevermind, I confused myself lol.

Congratulations Floppage, you joined 6 months ago and you've already earned yourself some haters! Welcome to AZ!

Nobody does lol. Every man knows what it takes to stay out of the dog house.

That's because his girlfriend is an instructor/LO :grin::p

It used to be my lifestyle. I find now that more and more things are taking precedent over pool in my life at this point in time. Family, school, attempting to start a new career, etc. It's still more than a hobby to me though. I would call it a passion. I also consider it to be part of my...

Why send the cue ball anywhere near the 9 when you don't have to? Why risk hitting the draw too hard and coming across your position plane for the 8 ball leaving a thin cut? I'm coming into my position plane on the 8 by coming straight up the table, giving me the greatest margin for error. You...
