True, but this thread is full of great knowledge and resources that I'm sure will be helpful to others.

Tor Lowry's Zero-x billiards videos are a really good resource as well. Jimmy Reid has a bunch of videos up on his channel also.

I used predator shafts for a few years, then tried the Jacoby at the SBE a few years ago. Ordered one on the spot (I play with a Jacoby, cursed myself for not ordering the cue with that shaft in the first place). I decided to go with a middle-ground approach and had it tapered to 12.25mm. I can...

I loved John Schmidt's commentary during the Earl-Shane TAR match on the 10-foot. Can I also throw Tony Robles' name out there? Sidenote: Accu-stats player reviews. I've only seen the one with Efren vs. Scott Frost, and it was one of the best learning experiences I've had. Any other suggestions?

There's Eastside on 86th and 3rd, but you'll actually be about 20 minutes away from Steinway by train. Finnegan does the weekly tournaments on Monday (handicapped) and Wednesday (non-handicapped), Then there's Society and Amsterdam which are closer to the downtown/Union Square area. It's pretty...

SBE? Planning on going all 4 days.

"man up"? Please explain the logic behind that. Feel free to pm me.

Go look at RunoutJJ's comments in the other APA thread. Looks like I'm right.

She's a sweetheart and friendly to everyone, she used to play at the same Megabucks location as me (Steinway). And man, can she play!

I didn't mean for this thread to devolve into an APA vs BCAPL bashing fest, apparently my way with words has served me well yet again. I do understand that not everyone knows how to conduct themselves in a pool hall and it's up to us more experienced players to help them along. I just feel like...

I'll put it to you this way. For every serious player in apa, there are 20 clueless bangers.

Maybe they recognized that a better player was near them and they tried to absorb some of my superior skill and knowledge through my aura :thumbup:

Um, thanks. I like myself the way I am just fine. Your customer service skills must be impeccable, looking at how quick you are to judge others.

This is pretty much the conversation I had with myself in my head, I do appreciate this. I wouldn't mind taking a second to teach someone, but how people would actually be receptive to my advice, is another thing entirely.

Now that we have all this super-whamadyne wearable technology, anyone tracking how many steps/calories during a practice session or match? I'm thinking of getting one.

Another thing: Do they not teach basic pool room etiquette? I was on the corner table last night, completely out of the way and I can't count how many APA players disturbed me. Sorry, but I don't have that problem in BCAPL.

Sounds about like it.

Interesting. I've been playing BCAPL for about 3 or 4 years now, only managed to get one trophy.

Whoa, calm down. Sorry I insulted your league and their awards, I've never played APA. Been approached about joining plenty of times and had to kindly decline every single one of them because they outright asked me to sandbag. I consider that an insult to the hundreds of hours of hard work I've...
