    What joint pin is this?

    This is an older (2008-ish) inexpensive Viper butt. I'm searching for an inexpensive shaft for it because I don't like having stuff around my pool room that has no use. If I can figure out the type of pin this is will greatly help. A 3/8x10 will go over the pin and tighten somewhat, but a...

    Commentaries on Streaming Pool Matches.

    This is my biggest annoyance in pool commentary. After, let's say five wrong guesses, the commentator shouldn't open his/her mouth until AFTER the shot is taken. I rolled my eyes when I read the Cornerman's interview. One of his mentioned co-commentators that he enjoyed working with was very...

    Something You Would Never Say Out Loud

    Sometimes before a difficult shot I'll mumble to myself "come on you stupid son-of-a-bitch, keep your head still and remember your fundamentals." After the shot I'll say out loud to myself "you dumb f*ck!"

    Anybody have a video of the 90 degree spot shot?

    I remember when he posted it too. I spent a good half-hour trying to make that shot on my home table before giving up. I got within 1/2 to 3/4" of making it a couple of times. I just couldn't seem to get enough spin onto the object ball to make it. I could see where a player of better skills...

    Matchroom / WPA Legal Wranglings

    I used to say the same thing when people would opine that SVB shouldn't be considered in the GOAT conversations because of his lack of "world" titles. Heck, the 5 US Opens he won had most of the same players entered that competed in the "world" tourneys. What's in a name anyway?

    Opinions regarding a former top pro playing in and dominating a Poolroom‘s weekly handicapped tournament?

    We had a Wednesday night 8-ball tournament locally that had this same rule with the exception that you had to skip a week instead of a month. Nobody had a problem with it. I went to play in the tournament one Wednesday night (this has been at least seven and maybe more years ago) and I'll be...

    Thoughts on the best way to remove tension when shooting in league/tournaments?

    That's a form of "good" pressure too. Especially when the lid finally blows off!!! 😆

    Thoughts on the best way to remove tension when shooting in league/tournaments?

    I doesn't necessarily have to be "Yoga" breathing...just breathe! I see people on league nights tighter than a Swiss watch. I encourage them to sit down when they are not at the table and take some good, deep breaths and try to focus on the enjoyment of the game. Standing around "chomping at...

    Buying from Amazon / Ebay

    This and post #4 is all you need to know here. Buy them. If there are damaged balls inside, surely you'd be able to get a refund, right?

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    All the bills in my money clips are all facing the same way. Always...without fail.

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    I've been playing with a CF shaft for months and haven't wiped it off yet while playing. I do wipe it down before putting it back into the case. As far as "a moving visual distraction" goes, I'm not focusing my eyes on the shaft, I'm looking at where the tip is in relation to the point on the...

    Rules Question

    Completely legal in APA League pool. What Souto did was completely NOT legal.

    Pool jersey's, love 'em or hate 'em..??

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    Maybe. I've never noticed it. I've played 12 hours straight, without a break, twice in my life with a wood cue and never felt the need to wipe it down. Most of these pros I am referencing in my OP are using carbon fiber shafts. If they sweat, I have never noticed mine doing so in the 6 months...

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    Well, duh!!! I mentioned it in my original post.

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    Once again, my curiosity has gotten to me. It has become a frequent sight to see the pro players wiping down their cues before they break, between shots DURING a run, etc. What the heck are they wiping off of their cue? My personal opinion is that it's just become a "thing" similar to wiping...
