Long straight in shots: In one pool book someone was telling me about (and he thought this was the best instructional book he had ever read), the author said to put a little english on the shot and throw it into the pocket. Try it and tell me how it works. For example, with low left english...

Haven't you figured out yet that America is full of dummies? I mean, sitting there at one hole all day watching the players come through. No wonder Obama was elected.:D

And please enlighten us all - how do you account for squirt in the use of aiming systems? Not trying to be a smart a$$, but I think that 75% of the AZbilliards users of aiming systems have no idea of what is involved in aiming a pool shot when you throw english into the equation. It is very...

If you don't already know this, you should be made aware: about 7 yrs ago a bunch of wet dog and cat foods were recalled because the ingredient that was used to make the gravy came from China. I am talking about high quality dog food too, with no animal byproducts, and lots of different...

What you should be concerned about is that the old Predator shafts had piss poor ferrules, which were known to come loose. I can't remember the design flaw.

Just looked at my bag of Waggin Train chicken treats and they are manufactured in Anderson, South Carolina, but on the bag is also the 'Made in China' lingo. In the article you refered us to, the owner said the place was crawling with FDA agents and they have found nothing yet. Thanks for the...

I used to love Boston Billiards in Gaithersburg Md - had nice gold crowns 4.5x9 and one table with triple shimmed pockets and one billiards table, which had its share of loyal customers. Champions in Frederick has 4.5x9 table and 4 baby 7 footers. The 4.5x9 tables are a little tight, but...

I have played all over the DC area and I must say that Frederick has the best pool players, IMHO. Most are at Champion Billiards on Buckeystown Pike now that All Star has closed. Not to say that there are no good players everywhere else, just not as many congregated in one place - Thurs night...

I used to watch a straight pool player who could run 100 balls every day. He liked the heavier balls MAINLY because they ploughed thru the rack better.

Not true. When Mike won his 1st US Open, he got thrown into the losers bracket early and had to win 13 matches in a row to finally win. This was a US Open record btw. Bartram came very very close to ousting him - that was a very good match.

I can tell you for a fact that this ball fades into a yellowish color. I have one. I also have a measle ball which I have used much much more, and it hasn't faded. The aramith ball does not shine when it comes out of my ball cleaning maching (BallStar), but the measles ball does. Also, the...

How about them? They are NOT so odd at all. Except for the Neils face, which is hardly out of the ordinary, the other faces are very very ordinary.

You must be a pretend prima donna :D. Let's talk about Deedles (forgot the exact name) - the place you used to like to go in Maryland. If there was any place that smelled like piss and puke, this was it. And if you wanted to see some puke you could just take a walk out back. Who do you think...

Yes, but this is NOT near DC, and from what I have heard from my sources, this is NOT a place to be a night.

Everyone go look at the gallery at the website address I posted. The tables sure look like 4.5x9s to me, but I could be wrong. And to me, any bar that has 15 tables is a POOL HALL, not a bar to shoot pool in. The original poster obvioulsy doesn't want to travel outside of DC, so what I...

I stand corrected.

I worked in DC dingaling.

http://dc.buffalobilliards.com/ Like you have ever played there. I have played there. The tables (15 of them - see the website) are 4.5x9. There is no freakn thing as an oversized 8 foot table. If 8 foot tables seem big to you, then they are a commercial brand, not the house brand. House...

Not true. Buffalo Billiards has nice 4.5x9 tables and is in the heart of DC, in a nice area.

WRONG! You too are short, relatively speaking.:D
