I'd have to see the same player make ten or more attempts, at least, and observe the results before I'd assign blame to a shaft. Not hitting that critical spot that produces long draw is a likely cause, next might be lack of chalk or poor chalk, or slick spot on a tip, but using a decent player...

I watched the first four racks, and was particularly impressed with Rempke. Others only watched some of the match like me. If it was such a compelling type of play, why weren't people watching it from first to last? I plan to go back to view the rest, just to see how well I can guess the...

7 hours later, still no reply from the OP. I know people have jobs, weddings, bar mitzvas, car breakdowns, dinners at Hooters... but he spent all that time photoshopping the red T-shirt when he could have been writing up a synopsis of the facts. "I'll get back to you" doesn't mean next week...

Call an engineer or architect and find out how to safely ditch the column. Not only will it allow the table size you want, it will add value to the home by creating an open space.

Everybody knows it's impolite to discuss clothing as the king parades by. Instead of the OB Digicue Blue I found another magic device for $149 called the “QMD-3 Billiard Stroke Analyzer” (a 2018 upgrade from the 2017 QMD-2). It has more and better analysis tools, I think, than Ol’ Blue...

Speaking of annoying, "Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk" is the poster child for annoying. Who cares if you own an iphone, or what is the app's with a clever name, the name that won the office 'name this app' pool, which had a payout of a restaurant gift cert guaranteed to be not quite enough...

I am so glad we live in the era of video recording and YouTube. We get to see a few recorded bits of matches from the fifties, parts of games played by famous guys like Harold Worst, Boston Shorty, and many others. But with the advent of Youtube and VCR recording, and now hi-res digital, the...

Mark's involvement in college-level pool instruction could be part of the reason this book looks, and reads, like a first-rate college text. I bought mine when they first came out. I paid more for the each of Eddie Robin's one pocket books, and almost as much for some lesser instructional...

Tor Lowry Sharivari Free Dr. Dave is about as comprehensive as might be found anywhere, but his voice rankles sometimes. Tor Lowry has an hour or two of good free instruction, more at retail, and his voice is pleasant and conversational. Newer, and slightly less in depth is Sharivari, but he...

You need to go back to the OP and his posts. somewhere the discussion of that cut shot got mixed in with the OP's complaint. It took awhile for us to even know that one-shot bet was for a cut into the corner pocket, not a two rail shot back to the shooters corner pocket, or a cut into the...

Somewhere I read an analysis about where the unemployed road player and/or pool hustler of an era got his gambling money. It was the 60s - 70s I think. The article claimed there was one really high roller and a few lesser high rollers who would occasionally lose big. The money from the big...

I'm living in Paris TX in Lamar County, pop. about 40k. It has four or five employers who pay about $12 - $15/hour, and might provide some benefits. So folks are poor, mostly. The nearest pool hall used to be a 14 mile round trip, in very light traffic. It closed about 16 years ago. Then...

In the true heyday of pool, what was lacking? Hmm, let me think, how about kid's all playing some after school sport, or in a drumline, or ballet classes. Or soccer moms rushing about because dad comes home late too often. Or breadwinners who used to work one job now have two. But most of...

Look at the pool businesses in the area around Arizona State, which is Tempe and east Phoenix. There are several poolhalls / bar/ restaurant nearby, including Scott Frost's large one which looks like it is in a former grocery or big box store. Maybe see if the colleges have pool in their...

I'd like to know if the device actually measures what it claims to measure, and if it can be calibrated to a standard. I don't expect a little chip surrounded by plastic, set in rubber, to withstand the shock of hitting balls for long. But even at that, I think the weak link is the on/off...

I saw that shot on Youtube; I think it was the same one, but it was for $13k. The shooter came within an inch, maybe less, of making it. It rattled very, very close to going in the corner pocket. Even when the rail was noisy as hell, with everyone going crazy, even crowding him as he was...

Just walk right in. Ha ha ha ha. The Texas Two-Step is a dance - and it's also how far uninvited 'guests' make it inside someone else's home before they suffer grievous injury from accidental discharge of a firearm. "Officer, I thought it was a bear. The shotgun just went off, all by itself...

1. A dumping scheme unfairly took money from you. 2. You are now willing to reveal all to the gaming commission. 3. The flap is so serious it could cause the gaming commish to shut down the DCC. 4. For X dollars, the amount you feel cheated out of, you will shut up and go away. Is that about...

Completed Matches: The web page shows the latest activity at the top of each category, but it can be confusing since you have to scroll way down to get past the Banks and 1pkt, which are over, to arrive at recent activity in 9ball. There also are duplicate entries, which are useless. If you...
