    Roy never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was a great help to me, and I will miss him. Roger

    Problems with Pierce cues

    Thanks, but no thanks. I've seen many shafts that were a lot worse than that (as I'm sure we all have), but on a cue that costs $650 I do think you are right in expecting a shaft that rolls a little smoother than the one you got. Roger

    Problems with Pierce cues

    I'm not wanting to take sides here, but that shaft is not warped. Even the "taper roll" (if that means center lift) is not that bad. Roger

    Those Two Undercover Monster players are real. I have photographic evidence!

    Rudolph Wanderone Jr. would have been envious.

    Has anyone here used Andy Pro cloth, and if so, what do you think of it? Roger

    APA league operator issues

    Don't you know that you can't beat the APA as long as they are endorsed by Jeanette Lee? :p Roger

    Say good-by to a good friend, billy mack.

    Thanks for posting this, Alf. I probably wouldn't have learned of Billy's condition, otherwise. I'll call him first chance I get. Roger

    What's so great about 13mm shafts?

    I started with a 12-1/2mm shaft, but later went to 13mm and have been there ever since. I like the fact that it is less "whippy" on off-center shots, and that the larger diameter gives me a little larger patch area between the tip and the cue ball. I also like the fact that I don't have to...

    A blunt exchange of opinions on FB.

    BRussell: I hope you don't mind, but I did a little editing of your post. I think the two remaining statements are very closely related. Roger

    Poolplaya9, I tried to give you green rep for this, but I couldn't. This is some great advice. Roger

    Bad Tournaments, Tournament Directors and Promoters

    I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, Lenny. Are you saying that a promoter should take a 25% non-refundable deposit, and then use that money to reimburse confirmed players who have booked hotels and airfare, in the event that the promoter cancels the tournament? Roger

    RAYJAY - Passing of

    I'm very sad to hear this. I never knew RAY JAY personally, but now that I've learned of his great love for animals, I wish I had. Prayers to his family and friends. Roger

    Mike Sigel's GPPA Leagues

    I heard the GPPA is charging $10K for league franchises. That's a lot of money for a person to invest in a new venture. The LO for Phoenix actually lives in Las Vegas, and she has no prior experience with pool. I have no idea how she's ever going to get anything rolling here, but I do wish...

    ★★ Scott Frost Challenges All Of Arizona & SVB ★★ $10,000

    I just went back and checked, and Lenny is right. Scott had replied that South Dakota (Shane) got 8/7 last time they played. That didn't mean he was offering 8/7 this time around. As a matter of fact, Scott followed it up by saying, "'he"' gets me even" (once again meaning Shane). Shane (and...

    ★★ Scott Frost Challenges All Of Arizona & SVB ★★ $10,000

    In Scott's Facebook post, he said he would spot anyone in Arizona 9/7 for $10K. Shane popped in and asked, "What does South Dakota get." Scott quickly fired back, "8/7." Shane wasted no time in accepting the offer. Since that initial offer and acceptance, Scott has repeatedly attempted...

    ★★ Scott Frost Challenges All Of Arizona & SVB ★★ $10,000

    Scott doesn't need to be desperate to go for low-percentage shots, because what most of us consider "low-percentage," Scott considers routine. He's just that good. And very fun to watch! :thumbup:

    Is a loose grip important?

    I think it's rather important to hit the cue ball with only the weight of the cue. Doing this (in my opinion) helps you get the proper feedback from the cue for developing a feel for the correct speed needed on shots. If you grip the cue tightly, you are effectively adding weight (mass) to the...
