i had total shoulder replacement on my right shoulder (i'm right handed) and i was told by my dr that i would be lucky to get 85% of my previous range. i had an arthritic type condition since i was 11 so i've always played through pain, stiffness, and other physical obstacles so i might not be a...

i guess i'm stupid or something, but i believe the fast cloth and active rails have made the game tougher. it's like playing on wet ice and the cream rises to the top in this environment. I do believe that jump cues should be banned and if you want to try a jump shot then you would have to use...

it makes u long for the good ole days when the loser wracked the balls. it seems to me these new gadgets haven't solved the problem but have made spin-offs of various issues related to the age old perfection problem of the "perfect rack." personally there is nothing more satisfying than making a...

good solid advice for any player: beginner or seasoned player.following this strategy will improve your game and it will make you a tougher opponent.

cruise needs to be an owner of 2-3 footlockers or toy's r us stores.

never been stiffed that much; maybe $400-500 total in my pool playing lifetime (30+ yrs). no big secret to it; except always post the cash or pay after every game. the old pool maxim still holds true: i pay when i lose and i collect when i win and i expect the same from anyone i play. the one...

first was 8 ball, one pocket, 15 ball rotation, check (pill) pool (both 10 and 15 ball), keno, 9 ball, banks (9 and 15 ball), and scratch pool all in a period from 18-25 yrs old. i don't think i've learned any other games. i never played straight pool. one pocket was king in my neck of the woods...

i've played with a phenolic on my sneaky pete for sometime and i like the feel especially on a fast table. i switched to the phenolic because i break with my playing cue and after a couple of years i was developing cracks in the ferrule. so i sought out the phenolic to cut down on every 2 yrs...

i take from your post "angie" doesn't get her table covered or inspected much (this is a joke for those comedically challenged).

it is more difficult in the sense that when you make a mistake, you will pay dearly. i have gambled on bar tables, but i can honestly say it is not my favorite game. it is alot like 6 ball in that it evens the game. the lesser player need not know all the moves that a seasoned player obtains...

very unsportsmanlike for a site that is always peeing and moaning about gambling, calling for good sportsmanship, and other supposed ills of pool in general. just practicing the "golden rule" when pool cohorts start to yammering would cure most of the ills i imagine. you think?

i quit playing 5 yrs ago (i'm 51 now) because i couldn't play at the level i thought i should. i learned to play in an old school pool room where everyone gambled and only the chumps whined about losing or bragged about winning. when i began playing the most important things were never being...

there are three outcomes when 2 people play: you win, you lose, or you break even. If you are gambling, then you reach one of these outcomes by who has the most money. that's how you keep score: you do that with money. to address the need for getting or giving a spot is bs. i personally have...

good quality people ... sounds like a multi-marketing bs to me, but i guess it wasn't written for me to understand or maybe it was. good luck and lotsa luck.

I've picked up quite a few tidbits, especially the technical aspects of cue repair and troubleshooting. This place is alot like a modern pool room without the alcohol, tobacco, or action hence the modern room. I personally like alcohol and if you can buy them you can smoke them as far as I'm...

I don't really know how to respond; except that you may not play that well when you are the center of attention. You maybe so focused on playing well in front of a crowd that you put "it" as a problem with your fundmentals. As an old road horse told me once "winning fixes a bunch of problems."

why did they (somebody) auto wack my use of the word B$$tch? Isn't this word in the dictionary? I think I'm p#@!ed? what the f^&*ed! Let me hire a lawyer and i'll own this site. wait a minute who would want to own this site? aw forget it!

become friends with the room owner or whoever runs the place, be a good customer (i.e. spend more money than the water you usually ***** about paying a dollar for and ...), and let him and or her observe the problem and they will probably click the thermostat to a cool 69 degrees. If that...

the question can only be answered with the word if, so here is my opinion: if your opponent is a strong player, he will only give the push back to you if he can't make contact, and as you go up the food chain they can jump and kick so if you get the push back, then you are in trouble. now for...

Special players, special rules for different tables, and those who are elite and/or those who spend alot of money should be given special treatment and service. We should also delineate those players who think they are special to those who are either truly talented and those who spend the cash...
