    Best Area in Florida for Pool

    While I am vaguely familiar with the locations mentioned, I kinda like the Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach, Panama City stretch up in the Panhandle of Florida. Intersate 10 is easy to get to.....for travelling east or west from Tallahasse to Texas,

    Wpba

    WPBA Masters event report is being finished and will be sent out to media within the next day or two. Tamara Peeters and teenage sensation April Larson finished tied in the 3rd-4th spots. Both semis and the final went to sudden death games. A truly exciting finish to a great tournament.

    Delrin butt cap

    Delrin should not stain with any kind of ink I would think. I always used a black crayon rubbed vigorously over the engraving on some cues, and a green crayon on the McDermotts that had an engraved logo.

    I think I saw this design years ago in either the Mizerak booth or Viper booth at the BCA trade show.

    ferrule material

    McD,s used a cotton based fiber before switching to the newer stuff, and Huebler used a linen based fiber on his. I liked them both, but I did replace scores of them over the years. Usually with the exact same thing. The Mac ferrules would swell up and separate from the tenon base due to...

    What's your Room's Size/What are you Paying Per Sq Ft?

    The going rate in south Texas is usually a dollar a square foot. The original owner of our 7000 ft. room negotiated it down to .75 for a few years, but when new owners bought the place, the landlord would not budge below a dollar.

    Too old to try again?

    I have a weekly 8-ball tourney that has been going for about 15 years. 2 out of 3 games, double elimination. Usually but not always, the best players end up winning, but stone bangers have won it many times due to the short races. One gentleman who has been playing forever, won it when he was...

    Unique Travel Tipper?

    It is a good machine for just the tip end of the cue, but go with the full size cue companion with heavy duty reversible motor and your repair options skyrocket. Best $$$ I have spent in 40 years of working on cues.

    Now Prove It!

    The American test/drill/qualifying procedure for being a pro player for ages has been one thing. Get in your car, travel to every place in the country that has action, bring back shoe boxes full of Benjamins.

    We All Lost Dear Friend - Bob Byrne

    Ages ago after learning about Bob's writing endeavors, whenever I had a chance to pick up some of his other published works, I would load them in my briefcase and take them to the BCA Trade Show. For several years I would trap him and have him autograph the books. He would always say....Again...

    What innovation had made the biggest impact in pool today?

    That's an easy question with only one answer....the internet. Think about it....all the marketing of magic shafts, tips, chalk, etc.....the sales of this stuff would take ages longer without the touts on the web. The action reports, knocking, tournament results, more knocking.....and never...

    Aluminium 5/16-18 Joint Pin Questions

    I would think that with that fine a thread and smaller diameter it would be too easy to distort the threads on aluminum. Joint protectors were introduced when many cue makers were using 5/16=18 threads made of brass, because pins got bent or threads deformed when a cue was...

    Interesting BCA/WPA (not BCAPL) Rules Changes

    Being from the land of no simonis and high humidity....the 3 balls past the headstring rule is flat out ridiculous. I break as hard as any living human being and I would be lucky to get 3 balls past the side pocket much less to the head of the table.
