    Dress code in tournaments

    Please. It is a weekend tournament at a pool hall and I think I saw they have a Calcutta. It’s not like sponsors would pony up 100k added if only the players dressed a little better.

    Anybody recognize this??

    I had my name put on by Huebler in the ‘80’s. They didn’t use that font. More like the size letters in Huebler on the logo. Then again, they could have engraved in a different size etc…

    Help me decide the wrap!

    Black and white speck? The McDermott with solid black wrap in the picture has other stuff going on so the solid black is fine. But the cue you are asking about is just black with nothing else going on. I don’t think I’d want all black. What about black with green speck? Might not work with...

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    This is in part what I meant about availability. Mezz to me is just unavailable. Only one I hit with seemed great. I am more of a production cue guy because the customs I have had didn’t overwhelm me with how great they played or how they were miles ahead of production cues. Disadvantages of...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    So….. back to the thread about how playing all ball fouls eliminates arguments…. 😜

    What drills are best to get that smooth stroke like Buddy Hall , or Chris Melling?

    Been many years since I read Ted Williams’s autobiography. As a kid in San Diego he played baseball constantly and year round. I recall he criticized little league because a kid might get 3 or 4 ABs. He would get dozens a day in the sand lots. Granted, he didn’t get the coaching and they didn’t...

    US Open 08/18-23

    I wonder how the other MR/ WNT players interact with him. The discussion of what happened was a while ago, but put yourself in the shoes of a player who skipped the big WPA event. That was the closest thing to a union strike pool players have ever had I think. And Filler essentially crossed the...

    Slow play by pros

    Yeah pretty dumb. I should know that 9 ball is no skill and 10 ball is the be all, end all of cue sports. I’ll try to be smarter someday.

    Slow play by pros

    The loser lost because he didn’t play well enough, not because of the lucky roll at the end. Unless in an alternate break format where the opening break was decided by a coin flip instead of lag and each game was a break and run. Except in that situation it is the losers fault alone. If there...

    Cuetec avid replacement bumper

    Do you have the duo extension? Because if you don’t they sell ( at least used to) a duo with adapter bumper for cue techs with the older bumper/ extension. If you like the avid and don’t have the extension you need it. It does cost you more because you are getting the extension, not just the...

    Corey Deuel still good? Fargorate

    I like golf and still liked that one. 🤣 One difference between golf handicaps and FargoRate is that golf is weighted more to potential. That is it is geared more to best scores than average. Not sure how it would affect Corey’s FargoRate not that it really matters.

    Question about predator tables.

    Most commercial 7’ tables are 40x80. Diamond, Valley, Rasson, and Brunswick/ Global. Predator is not. It is 39x78 I am pretty sure.

    Question about predator tables.

    Not close IMO. And not the same size. I don’t work on tables but have played on both. Edit. That was vague. Diamond is better. Predator would be my last choice for a 7’.

    Compete without fear

    So at the 19th hole one day I had that kind of conversation with a surgeon. We talked about how we thought during the golf swing etc…. But he said in surgery you never thought like that, i.e. how to grip/ move the scalpel etc…He was a decent golfer who got a lot out of his swing, but wasn’t that...

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    I don’t know how well all the imports do on the support part of the question. There have been threads on different brands. I like CueTec as far as the import brands for playability, value, accessories etc…. As they say in football, the best ability is availability. Some of the imports seem to be...

    What would You do?

    It didn’t. It is kind of interesting that we are watching the same video and seeing different things. There is always a gap between the nose of the cushion and the spinning ( wobbling/ rolling off) ball.

    What would You do?

    It never got the third rail. It was near the rail and wobbled. 2 rails only. Zanetti knew and the video is clear.
