I saw a sharkskin case once and man did I ever want one. I hear that sharkskin boots are a lot tougher than rawhide boots. If anybody wants to comment, please do as I do not know too much about the subject.

Well, for a month now I have been reading all of the jump cue reviews. I called Lomax and didn't feel like waiting, so I orderd the Silver Bullet Jump Cue for $128 at Muellers. Check it out! It is so much better than my Stealth jump cue it ain't funny. I like the fact that it is 3 pieces...

Yes, I have an old Instroke vinyl case (3 butts 5 shafts) that crimped/folded slightly at the bottom. It won't stand up on its on any more:crying:

It appears that leather cases are around twice as much as vinyl cases. What are compelling reasons, if any, to shell out the extra money for a vinyl case, looks aside? i.e. do they last longer/hold up better under long term conditions?

You forgot to mention if an aiming system is to be used.:D

I used to offer to play people for cash without my glasses, and drunk. I was blind as a bat w/o my glasses, but could still pocket balls like crazy, even with astigmatism. But not near as good as shooting with contacts back then.

IMO, yes. You need at least 20/20 or your game will not be as good as it could be.

If you have a cataract history, then wait. If not, then go for it, astigmatism or not. You are right in that Lasik won't promote the development of cataracts. Again, if this guy has a bad astigmatism AND a history of cataracts, then wait.

Allison Fisher herself, right here in Germantown, said that men have better eye/hand coordination.

Lassiter was quoted as saying that if it was one person who he would not enjoy playing for money, it would be Harold Worst. And then there were stories about no one jumping out of there seat to offer and play Harold when he walked into the pool room. One other thing about the pocket sizes...

If you have a family history of cataracts, then don't get it done now. My brother and I both had laser surgery and I got cataracts when I was 59 and my younger brother when he was 56. The problem occurs with trying to find the right lens when having cataract surgery. My left eye had a bad...

Except parents et.all. don't mind funding football. All football requires is a locker room and a field, which are plentiful. The used tables on the market are still too expensive I think for the parents et.all. to go for this. And, like another poster said, there is just not many places to...

Now that's funny. I like your idea of teaching youth how to play pool, but if they don't have a place to play after your intructions/and DVD, it will all be in vain I am afraid. btw, I have instructed my teenage daughter for about 10 hours - she was never that really interested because of...

You are correct - it is simply a matter of supply and demand, and like I said in my earlier post, as long as pool tables are so expensive there will NEVER be any youth leagues.

Does anyone subscribe to this, and if so, please give your opinion of its worth. Thanks in advance. WW

This is something YOU young fellas wouldn't understand. Getting the yips and shaking a little while down on the shot is common for us older players. So, IMO, the topic should not be taken lightly, for amateurs. And, how do you know the pros don't have this breathing thing down to a second...

First of all - let's all agree on this. I love pool as much as the next AZ member, but pool is BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to watch to non-pool players. Especially when there is no shot clock, and even when there is one. Only the Mosconi Cup comes close to making pool interesting - across...

I thought that not too long ago there already was a pool reality show - ?. And it must have failed miserably.

I was trying this yesterday on my table - letting all the air out, relaxing totally, and then shooting. I can go without air for a relatively long time. Man, was this ever calming. As opposed to holding my breath during the shot. To me this causes more tension because I feel as if I have to...

Good question. For the money and in a race to 10 ahead, I think Chris would grind out a victory. Something tells me Jasmin wouldn't have the stamina. In general I would call it about even.
