Is it possible you're having an allergic reaction to cigarette smoke? When I play league in a smoky bar (99% of them unfortunately), I don't sleep well, have mild congestion and headaches, and must take allergy meds the next day. Our team is moving to a non smoking bar next session but we'll...

I used to sell a good bit on eBay until the fees became confiscatory. You can sell elsewhere but eBay has the big audience. Oh, well... :frown:

The basic idea, unfortunately, is to keep your SL as low as possible without getting caught. That way, you get a healthy spot from honest players who aren't as good as you. The sweet spot is to be ranked an SL3 when you're really an SL5. That way, you can win the really important matches and...

I put a Moori III on a friend's cue about 18 months ago. He plays several times a week and is an excellent player. Plays a lot of one pocket, 8 ball, and 9 ball and his position play and safety play are outstanding. The tip is down now to about nickel height but he tells me he's not ready to...

Did you ever get a response on this? I'm interested also.

Not a bad idea. Even though I like to watch matches on TV, they aren't generally produced very well. There's gotta be a better way. After all, people watch Poker on TV, for God's sake. And my pet peeve: get rid of the stupid pocket cam. It brings absolutely nothing to the viewing experience. I...

I blocked adserver.azbilliards.com on OpenDNS last week but it didn't seem to have any effect on the slow loading. It does seem to be much better lately though. :cool:

Absolutely agree. But I admit that I like Color Of Money a little more each time I watch it. But the ending sucked. :cool:

May end up paying the lawyer more than the ex. The system is rigged. :frown:

I have a first generation Mezz Break Cue with a White Diamond tip. It breaks great and everyone on the team wants to use it. :cool:

I hate cutting Elkmasters. They dull my tools like crazy. Plus about 2/3 are crap and I have to start over. But I do plan on trying CA on the sides. I've been using Hightower's shaft sealer to seal the sides of tips and shine up the ferrule. It does a beautiful job. :cool:

Nope. $$$. :cool:

Well that didn't work. Slow again. Gotta be related to adserver.azbilliards.com. Blocking it in OpenDNS has no effect. :frown:

I just turned off the popup blocker in Safari and the latency disappeared. I'm going to add the ad server to my blacklist in OpenDNS and see what happens. :cool:

Thanks, Steve. Think I'll give it a try on my personal Schon. :cool:

I always start with a fresh utility knife on the Kamuis but they are a bear to trim. The other issue I have is that the black dye they use gets on the ferrule if you're not careful. After trimming, I lightly hit the ferrule and tip with 800 grit but I always move from the ferrule to the tip to...

No problem. I've been doing this for a while but I'm always trying to learn better methods. I'm a little obsessive compulsive about my work. I'm Using a Hightower Deluxe lathe. It does have a concave live center but I've never tried using it while trimming. I'll give it a shot. :cool:

Appreciate the quick response. Do you mist them with a spray bottle or just rub a little on the edge?

If you're talking league play, you could probably use a calendar... :rolleyes:

How many of you guys wet the tips before trimming the edge? I read somewhere on AZB that it makes it easier to trim. I've noticed that the Kamui Blacks can be a bit of a challenge to trim but I didn't want to mist them with water until I'm sure. I'm a little scared of delamination from the...
