    Where do you draw the line

    Sure you could have - as soon as he scratched on the 8: "Good game guys, that was tough.....Todd, you got lucky he scratched on the 8 and gave you the game" Giving congratulations is not advice :D Although I didn't figure it out right away, I had some similar fortune about a year...

    Respected and knowlegable members

    So many great people with sooooo much knowledge, I'm always afraid to give names because I don't wanna leave anyone out.....but agree wholehartedly with those thrown out already.... Since I've set up a few tables in my past, I also like the threads from Cuephoric and Glen.....

    Try TAP! The fastest growing pool league in the country!

    I played TAP a while back.....the league guy was cool.....the league had it's moments.....for the record, I kinda like the 8 ball counting on the break, as well as it being a loss if you make it and lose.....I also like the 9 counting in 9-ball.....the break is a skill shot, typically better...

    Low Balling

    IMHO Low Ball = less than 80% of actual cash value Example: Cue is listed at $500 on the for sale forum Based on recent sales of that cue, ACV is about $350 80% of ACV is $280 In my eyes, any offer below $280 is a "low ball".....granted, most people will offer less then they are willing to...

    **Reminder** Always keep an eye out for your cues

    With technology today, somebody needs to design cue-jack......take a weight bolt, turn it into a transmitter with a nice 50 mile radius.....I ain't not techie, but this would be a valuable service for people with nice cues... My break cue is an old house cue that has been reworked....and my...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    I used to have my old sport king in the garage back in the day.....had it there one or two hot summers.....no issues, the wood did NOT warp....granted, had to play late at night and get the fans going in the summer :D Winter wasn't near as bad, just used a space heater.....a few people...

    What is it? A shark, a strategy or something else?

    The squirming in his seat like he's going to get up and give the game is a bit of a shark....now, if you said he just sat there, quiet, and made the guy shoot the 9, then I would say that is just strategy.... Joey, not sure if you are a golfer.....they were talking on TGC the other day, I think...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    Mikey, Just a quick second to say kudos to you for starting this thread.....this is one of the rare threads that absolutely has zero to do with me personally, but it has the awesomeness of a Nascar 15 car pile-up :D Since the Arizona drama pool department has been quiet the last few months...

    you make the call! Foul or not

    On board with those that say you can tell by the reaction of the cue after contact.....in closed quarters, I watch the cue after contact to determine the hit.....it always lets the cat out of the bag....

    Everest Tips

    Been very happy with my Everest tips.....got them the same way you did - came on my OB's.....good quality, consistent, holds shape well... My only adjustment was on English - I've always played soft tips and liked to play around the outer edge of the cueball. It might just be with harder tips...

    Gentleman’s Club Handicap system suggestions.

    A couple of thoughts: Remind everyone up front - a handicap system is a work in progress, they all need to be patient for the first season, no reason to get discouraged. Due to the time differences required, do you plan to play 9ball, 8ball, or both? If playing both, it can impact the...

    Negative Reps...

    Rep should be limited to December, the Christmas month.....I mean, your only two choices are red and green, and those are Christmas colors.... Oh wait, I forgot.....it's offensive to say Christmas anymore.....guess I got some good old red coming my way soon :D I got red rep once in NPR.....it...

    What is Borana Andoni's speed?

    AZ is really falling apart people.....9 pages about eye candy, and not one single photo of this vixen and her team :D This type of marketing is good and bad....it's good because people see attractive females and want to watch.....but, if the attractive female shoots no better than the average...
