    Super Aramith Pro TV balls -- white is yellow?

    I have a set of the TV balls and the white is white. Unless it's a new thing. I'd investigate further.

    Modified ghost to better define a players rating?

    I've been reading alot of posts describing a players rating based on play against the ghost. I think there may be a better way to do it instead of just playing the ghost with BIH. Playing the ghost is based on 100% offense and doesn't account for defensive play and controlling the table...

    If your cues have EVER been damaged because of the case you use, post your story here

    Had a 3x7 Instroke that was just worn out after 8 years. The padding on the bottom was almost gone and caused a couple of finish chips in my cue. Should have gotten a new case sooner so it was my fault.

    It's bugging me and I want some answers.

    I'm guilty too. My worst habit is changing my mind or not being confident when I am down on a shot and not getting up to reset. I do it all the time and probably miss 75% of the time.

    Playing to your opponent's level

    I am actually reading that book now just bought it. So far it is really interesting.

    Playing to your opponent's level

    That makes a lot of sense. I think I will try what was mentioned by making a concious effort to be committed but more importantly make another goal instead of just beating who I am playing. I was talking to a buddy of mine last night and he had a good suggestion to only play tourneys for awhile...

    Playing to your opponent's level

    Perhaps some of you have had trouble with this. It is a complete mental block for me to be able to turn on the switch and play all out against someone who isn't as good (or bad) as I am. I seem to play to the level of my opponent to a certain extent and I don't know how to get around it. I...

    SO, Whats your thoughts on the JB Case Video?

    I think this squabble is ridiculous. Both case makers are very solid and do things their own way. All this bickering is doing is making them look bad and losing both of them customers. I bought an On-Q and it is a fantastic case. It was a very hard decision choosing which maker to make it but...

    Best Hustle

    Wow everybody in here is acting like hustling is supposed to be honorable. The owner put up his money, nobody asked him to do it. He was con'd out of it. That is a hustle. It's not like he was taking him into a pool hall to back him. Was this wrong...yes, but so is hustling. Husting is taking...

    APA rule question?

    Ok so your telling me in APA if a ball is frozen on the rail and you hit that object ball square with top and both balls clearly come off the rail, and the cue double kisses the object ball to the same rail with no other balls touching a rail that's a foul? That doesn't sound right. As long as...

    APA rule question?

    Cue ball can hit any rail, if cue didn't hit a rail the 8 would have to break contact with rail then touch any rail.

    Sledgehammer changes?

    I purchased a second break cue and set it up with a leather tip. I don't want to modify my Sledgehammer; it hits too good.

    What is you next Cue Purchase, or what are you

    I've got a Lomax jump cue that should be waiting for me at my house when I get back from my business trip.

    samsara break tips ?

    I haven't had any trouble either. I use locktite quick tight professional glue (not the gel) and have not had one tip pop off. edit: Since I started using the quick tight glue about 6 years ago

    Original or Not?

    I had Mottey build two blanks (an original 314 and an OB-1) to my cue. The hit of the original shafts are awesome but I wanted to keep those mostly unused. I have shot with a predator shaft for about 10 years now so I am very used to them and don't really want to change. I like the OB-1 as well...

    Playing while you are tired

    This helps alot. Sometimes caffine and sugar throughout the day can give you a harder crash later in the tourney. If you get in this situation again maybe try to hold off on caffine and sugar until you start getting tired.

    Shoot to lose?

    Just play for beers but make the rule that the winner has to finish the beer before the rack is over and it will even out soon enough :thud:

    What is you fuel food

    5 hour energy shots are pretty good. They don't give you the jitters like energy drinks do. Personally I like to eat a protein or granola bar and drink something with a little sugar in it with it.
