    So I Joined the APA.. BIG Mistake

    Review the sheets ~ whats your history? I was in a similar situation back in 2010. I was the 1st place team, playing against the 3rd place team It was week 12 of a 14 week session. The 3rd place team was a "new" team ~ new to the APA, but people who've been "playing pool for years" in their own...

    Armor All on Shaft

    Transference is the problem with both Armor-All and Pledge. You put the Pledge on the shaft. It transfers to your bridging fingers. Your bridging fingers contact the cloth. The pledge gets in the cloth. The balls roll on the cloth. The pledge gets on the balls. SKIIIIDDDDDDddddd.. . . . . .

    Question about sandbagging in the Apa...

    the "3 point" system is badly flawed, and ripe for manipulation! Your team won three out of five matches. 3/5 =60% You received 6 points. they received 9 points. 6/15=40% 9/15=60% Yes, this can be done consistently in APA 8ball. You no longer have to win to "win"! APA 9ball has always been...

    How to Revive a Small Town Tournament

    are the same B players winning consistently? Your lower skilled players may feel they have no chance of winning, and stop coming. If this is the case, perhaps a "winner ineligible to re-enter" for 3 weeks rule could help. Also, door prizes might work- drawings for a chalkholder, a coozie, maybe...

    League Player / Team Question

    does playing by the established rules bother you? The only time someone should have to pull out the rule book would be if you respond "that's not against the rules" or some such drivel in response to their objection. Play by the rules, and they'd have nothing to object to!

    How to CLEAN Irish Linen wrap ?

    OF COURSE i have my cue rewrapped every time it gets dirty! I also only wear my shirts once, and then throw them away, because they'll NEVER feel just like a new shirt again! (GEEZ, what planet do these guys live on?) Any of the home 'dry cleaning' substitutes sold at the 5&dime work well...

    When you play a road player......

    more often than you'd think. . . . Lotta guys made a bit of money over the years. With the best hustles, you'll never even know you got hustled. "Not very often do these things even work out"??? Now THATS funny!

    If You Started Collecting Today

    Ken, when you equate it to cars, you're right on the money! But. . . . Yes, the time to buy a 1969 Z28 has passed. Every decade, though, had its gem. Even the smog years. The trick is spotting them, and predicting the future. . . . In the 70s, the collector car that people were buying and...

    Pool league drama

    as we get older, we learn to pick our battles For example, frustrating though it may be, if someone cuts you off in traffic, even though they are TOTALLY in the wrong, you can't force them off the road and punch them in the nose. Especially when they turn out to be a 16 year old girl, or...

    Pool league drama

    ain't worth the argument and ensuing bad blood. You did the right thing by being a "sportsman" and yeilding the table in this situation. I If the match had something more than pride riding on it, situation could be different.
