    European Open 2024, Aug. 6-11, Fulda, Germany

    Is the SVB, Wilson match any better? They are not hitting them very well.

    WARNING!! SCAMMER!

    What's the next best thing to Pp f&f? Many of us closed those accounts when the PP heads started talking about social credit BS. I've been throwing my friend some cash on top to complete pp only transactions.

    Why billiards will never be in Olympics

    Good grief. Saying a fat guy can play pool = trans hate in Bishop's book. Can anyone make a post without hurting your feelings and prompting you to bring in your virtue signalling hero complex? There are probably message boards about what you are trying to inject into this thread. Go find them.

    Why billiards will never be in Olympics

    I watched a little at the pool hall the other day. One team wore pants, the other wore the typical skimpy outfits I am accustomed to seeing.

    Why billiards will never be in Olympics

    Pretty much this^^^^. I'm not too keen on the Olympics, other than winter olympic hockey. Oh, summer games = women's volleyball. I'll watch that. Isn't archery an event? I suspect one could be fairly overweight and still shoot rather well.

    Everest -vs- Kamui ...

    It's not bad to ask since your experience was with only one tip. I've had good and bad layered tips from the same batch, it is just a more rare occurrence with layered tips than with single layer. Try another if you are still curious. I tried a couple Kamuis back in the early days and found...

    Is it ok to just look at Temu?

    From everything I've read, that place has aids. If you don't want your computer getting aids, stay tf away from it. If you don't want your CC to get aids, don't use it on their site.

    Two GC'2's for sale..........

    It goes both ways when the economy is in the toilet. Used and new items may see cost increases but the used market sees more inventory when people need money. Used toy prices like buggys, off-road rigs, project cars, parts, etc. are going cheap these days. Wasn't sure on which side pool table...

    Two GC'2's for sale..........

    The first GC was purchased from the original owner -a pool room that closed. He said it was a 2. I don't remember enough about it to make a case. The 2nd may have been a 3. Also from a room owner, but he switched to Diamonds. He said the upgrade included the entire top of the table, aprons...

    Two GC'2's for sale..........

    Have GCs increased in value recently? In the last 15 years I have bought a TIGHT GCII with setup and new Simonis for $1700. Sold it a couple years later to a friend for $1500. Also a GCII with a GCIV with flat top pockets for $500. (That was a steal obviously) Sold it for $1500 to a friend when...

    are fake Aramith Balls easy to detect?

    I swear the set of Dynaspheres I bought off Amazon a couple years ago are fake. I can't hit a ball without scuffing it. At first I thought it was just the CB, but I started doing drills that shoot balls one after the other, replacing the last ball. That's when I noticed that each time I struck...

    Headphones at hard times sac

    I sometimes wear them when practicing. Now that I live in the south, the music isn't in my wheelhouse. I do not use them in a match unless there are loud conversations around the table AND my opponent is also wearing them. If the room is distracting, I fight through it if my opponent does as...

    Fixing cue with gravity and steam?

    I bought a used 30" maple butt with a big warp in it. I found the high point and each end of the bend. Each end of the bend was then set in the bend of a spoon sitting atop a tower speaker and a weight hung from the center of the warp. After 4-6 weeks, checking every couple days and resetting...

    Is Karl Boyes à complete moron?

    My answer is no, he is not. Granted, I have never met him so I am going off interviews and such for reference. The thread title suggests OP needs to be more respectful. Karl was once world-class. It's no wonder the pros no longer visit this place.

    American Heyball.............

    Yeah, it looks real slow. I do not like 8ball enough to watch it played on the big tables already, but this was even worse. I watched one rack. As stated above, it's cinch pool. I think I once saw a guy run 3 balls. The tables play a bit too tough to make it watchable. If I wanted to watch...

    More Diamond 7' bounce

    Rails and setups are everything. We have two rooms in town with 7' diamonds. They play very consistently in each place, but not at all alike from room to room. It takes a few minutes to adjust to the conditions but it becomes automatic. I have played at different rooms with rails so bouncy I...

    Do carbon fiber cue shafts make custom cues obsolete?

    I play as well with the CF as I did with the maple. I now can go play at any room I wish without that constant fear of my custom cues being damaged or stolen. For me, the CF innovation has made my custom cues into collector's items or art that never leaves the house. In a sense of usefulness...
