    Legal Hack.

    Try it and let us know how it worked for you. Maybe you'll set some new world records.

    US Open-The Other Way Around

    Put pro golfers on a ticking/winding-down time clock once they get the club they're going to use in their hands and let's see how it changes the game. Oh yeah, be sure there is an audible clicking when they have 5 seconds left.

    Pool Wars, question for Jay.

    A teammate on my Master's team did it one night several years ago. Even more unbelievable (but true), I watched a guy make three 8-balls in a row in an APA 8-ball league match against one of my teammates, that being about 10 years ago.

    Break / Jump Cue Differences?

    Yeah...same here. I have an Action J/B cue that cost $80 at the time of purchase. Breaks good (and I've broken racks with multiple high-dollar, big named dedicated break cues). I think the asking prices for some of the name brand break cues are ridiculous for what you are/aren't getting in...

    Anyone ever own a good decal cue?

    They seem to not get very much love on here. They can't all be bad, right? Reason I ask this is because I once had a really nice-hitting Players decal cue. The forearm and butt sleeve was a decal that looked like bird's-eye maple, and nicely done. Joint was surprisingly piloted, a typical...

    2024 APA 9-Ball League Final

    I watched it. I too, was entertained. IMHO, the two SL6's from one team, a husband-wife team with the surname Smartnick, did not shoot like SL6's. Their shot making was bad as was some of their decision making. Nerves I suppose. Their team lost. Is this the contest you were referring to?

    Cue holder help

    Cut yourself a piece (equal to the length of the holder) of 1"x2" board and put under it.

    Cue holder help

    Just don't try to clamp it down too tight. The bracket will snap in half. Trust me.

    Woodward questionable foul European open

    Knowing the risks, I personally think Skyler should have opted for a different shot. It looks to me like thinning the 6-ball on the left side and sending the cue ball slowly to the opposite long rail would have at least left a difficult shot without the risk of selling out the rack. Maybe the...

    Woodward questionable foul European open

    Marcel, to me, seems to have a bit of arrogance about him, and that he's not about to ever admit he's made a mistake/bad call. I wonder if he at any point had any self-doubt about that call on Shane. If he did, he should have given the call to the shooter.

    What if a 300 plays a 700?

    In the real world, who does that??? Unless you are playing winner keeps the table in some sleazy bar, on a vomit-stained, cigarette-burned, torn cloth POS Valley table that uses quarters that drops the balls, this scenario would rarely happen.

    What if a 300 plays a 700?

    Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner! No matter what the race is to, the 700 FR is going to win damn near every time. The only chance the 300FR player has is games on-the-wire (and I mean a LOT of them). Edited: Because every time is a virtual impossibility.

    Cue butt diameter older cues vs. new

    Damn...you only have 5 cues on hand??? Better get busy and add to the pool economy! 😄

    Rake Length

    Why not just do what I do and carry the retractable bridge into the hall with one of your hands??? Geez louise, let's complicate the sh*t out of everything!

    Mike Dechaine giving pool one more shot

    I'm not convinced Dechaine will help America accomplish anything. The competition has stiffened quite a bit in the past eight years. We'll see.

    Marboys/Kyle Amoroto Annoucement

    I hope he quits pool and never picks up a cue ever again. Funny how people's opinions differ, isn't it?

    Cue butt diameter older cues vs. new

    IDK, but I highly doubt that the hands of human beings could possibly evolve (devolve???) in a matter of six or seven decades. My guess would be that that process would probably take hundreds of years, if not thousands. As far as people getting taller/bigger, our diets can have a profound...

    Then shouldn't they also be removed from the team???

    Why did Earl lose the Hong Kong Color of Money $100,000 match to Efren?

    Also...Efren started gettin' the best of him too. I think it bothered him more than just a little bit when the folks started to flee the Earl "ship" and jump aboard the Efren "ship". Just an opinion of mine. I've done no research on the matter.

    Why did Earl lose the Hong Kong Color of Money $100,000 match to Efren?

    If I was playing, I would have miscued on every shot!!! o_O
