Viking Fighter Beside pool I also enjoy renaissance recreation. I belong to a world wide organization called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms). I portray a viking fighter and my viking is Flettir (it means stripper/plunderer). I have always liked the ring to that so I use it on...

Thank You for the response, like I said in the post. If you know something please share. Thank You for what you already know about the Olympics, and there goes another nice idea, out the window. Even though I do think billiards should be there. I also whole heartedly agree with your final...

Hello everyone, I will apologize in advance for the length of this post (editorial). To begin with I have been to the official web sites for both of these organizations and I have been reading what is on this and other forums about the NACPBA. I won?t go into my opinion of the IPT and what...

8-ball break This is my normal 8-ball break. I have made 3 8-balls in a row during league play. Yes it is easy to scratch on this break. This break is the main reason I wanted hard leather on my BK2 break stick. As far as the scratches go, from my experience it is while trying to hit the 2nd...

I can't really answer that about the difference between 30 and 29. My only 29s are a 314 and the BK2 shaft. At 6'3" the longer the cue the better. I carry a cue extender around with me. 2 weeks ago another guy on my team started to use it full time. He is 6'8" and the regular cues are just not...

Yes, the ferrule is shorter, the hit has a little more give but I like that because it also gives me more spin on soft to medium shots. IMHO I feel that I get more action with the Z2 than the Z. Cue: P2 30"Z2 Break: BK2 Jump: AT-1 Stealth

Nam 71'-72 No pics, there were in footlocker which was supposed to follow me home and didn't. I was a RadioTeleType operator with the 101st Airborne Division, 2nd 327 Inf (No Slack) and we were the last 101st battalion to leave county in 72' and brought the Division Colors home with us. I was...

In the article ?World Pool Championship - Chenman in for Putnam? posted yesterday, down near the bottom it talks about John Schmidt. It says ?2006 US Open Champion John Schmidt has also withdrawn from the event and his spot will go to Manila Qualifier 10.? I thought that he was going. After all...

Break Shaft Just got off the phone with Darren. the shaft is finished and should be here by Wednesday. My thanks to Darren and to this forum. I did not post on this tread to get this done. It was to let people know what happens when the tip is replaced incorrectly. But it does show the power of...

To clarify, no you do not have to get a different ferrule. The one on there is fine as long as they leave the absorbing pad that is between the ferrule and the tip in place. Problem is, it looks like it could be part of the tip and some people remove it by accident. Once that happens your shaft...

Thank You I talked to Darrin Brown today. He was very nice and told me it was the hard leather tips that are on back order not the ferrules. He also said that he thought he might have a couple of tips at home from shows he has done in the past. I appreciate his concern and fast responce. Thank...

I am not paying to have the leather tip installed. I am buying a replacement shaft with a leather tip included. My shaft was hosed.

Broken Shaft I had a local billiard company that has been here for years replace my phenolic tip with a hard leather tip and they did exactly what JoeyA said not to do. They removed the secondary phenolic layer as well as the tip. The second layer has to stay on. My BK2 shaft split on 3 sides...

Age I am 56 years old. I used to play a lot when I was younger and then pretty much quit. 4 years ago someone invited me to play pool on an APA pool league. I started as a Skill Level 4 which is what all males start out as in the APA. I quickly went to a SL3 because I was so rusty. This...

I am with birdy, I play a lot of pool but I am unfamiliar with this term. So what does it mean to play the ghost?

Thank You, I am proad. He gave it a good run. I think it was just a bad day for him. Flettir

They should either be playing or be done. Can we get an update on this match, please. Flettir

No offense, but if I get my wish, SVB and Corey would have to play on the losers side. I am solidly in the corner of Mike Davis over Corey Deuel and then over SVB or Ronnie Wiseman, which ever is still there.

I hope someone can post updates to the Davis - Deuel matchup when it happens today. I know all the matches are important to someone here at AzBilliards. This one just happens to be important to me. Thank You. Flettir

Go Kid Go. I am behind you all the way to the winners circle.
