Same as you. Rod

We don't have any experts, many of them are just cue flippers. They use colorful words to sell cues. They're not interested and rarely will you see one post to something like this because they don't know either. The so called experts should be the cue makers. Many of them however are busy just...

That seems to be the common response from the older players. :grin: But no, I'm Rod Elliott, been here in Phoenix on and off since the late 60's. Besides I am better looking. LOL Rod

I get the feeling there are some very inexperienced 14-1 players here. I like Jay's end of it 1 in 5. When I started playing again my partner had a newspaper clipping about Louie's passing in the Phoenix newspaper. As I recall it was a few months prior. I only know of his US Open title however...

Who started that wife's tale? LOL Well any way they work great without all the frills. Just soak em in water for a few and compress them for a day. I have a specific height to compress them to my liking. They last a long time and hold chalk very well with little maintenance. OK, carry on...

Its when you don't tell anyone. LOL

Interesting, this sighting thread. My cue is somewhere near the center of my eyes but that can change to a small degree. I sight using edge to center. Actual center per-say is not near as important except as a reference to where I actually strike the c/b. I shoot angles, I mean I don't really...

I'm positive your not alone. Chances are though few will come forward and reveal they paid way to much for a cue. You know one of those super hitting monsters; that at least ONE guy has to say "At this price this won't last long". LOL Or it hits a ton or all the other stupid must have comments...

A few years back LOL I had the option of a 63 split window or a 61 hardtop. The 63 was about $3000 and the 61 $2200. I bought the 61, had a good friend respray the car then I drove the crap out of it. It was stolen with a near new Palmer Cue I just bought. I think I paid about $170 for the...

I'd guess the ladder but then I'm not Fred. For me swerve and squirt need much more compensation. However throw has its importance with or without english. One just needs to know what conditions tips the scale. Rod

That is good news, glad your stay was short and all went well. They would have let me out that night but could not get a hold of the Doc. A leak is not a big deal but could stain a shirt. My leak was at the belly button. your mileage may vary Rod

Oh quit whining, of course its going to hurt a little with additional holes!:D Ask if they will let you go out for a walk. If its ok it really does help to start moving. Course you'll have to push that pole around where ever you go. LOL They let me out late the next day so no matter you won't be...

It depends on what type of surgery. If its laparoscopic, which it should be, about 1 week. I had mine removed two years ago and was up puttin around the halls a few hours later. Don't let them cut you open, go somewhere that does laparoscopic. I went back to work less than a week later. Of...

Johnny, forget about it. You know as well as I some people just need attention or make it seem like they know something. I guess there trying to impress, possibly a girl in the chat. Who knows who cares they just flap their lips. Believe me I know the world is full of them, not just in a chat...

Interesting thread. I never cared much if coworkers knew I played pool one way or the other. I rarely said anything to anyone but the subject has come up a few times. In all my years I had 3 or 4 pretty good money games. The first time it come up somehow, don't remember exactly why. But I'll...

A 16 incher. PPal sent. Rod

Well, should be able to with any shaft. I have a 13mm stiff taper that draws a more than table length for years. One ended up in the next county.:D Rod

Palmer did similar in the mid 60's. The idea sounded ok but in reality after the ferrule was taken off a couple of times it did not match the shaft. Close but you could feel the edges because it was off center. A cue maker could make you one but if it was me I'd glue it in place. You could have...

Yes I had similar it happened on and off for a couple of weeks. I do not know what caused it but it just went away. Not much help I know but your right it is annoying. I think at that time I was playing little or no pool. Wish I could remember more details but it could have been stress, diet or...

I'm on AZ standards which is where I live. After the ratings was changed I fall into and play as an 8. At 50 something I was rated a 10. When I was younger that rating would have been to low. So years go buy, and my rating has declined. I know all aspects of English, hit the c/b real good but...
