Plagueis: You seem to be against any kind of "LD" shaft tech, but just as the Mace went the way of the DoDo bird.....so will the Maple shaft over time IMO. Once you put a few honest non-judgemental hours into the "tech" shafts.....you will see, as I did not too long ago....that they are WAY...

Can you please give us an idea of where this happened? G.

Talent follows $$$ period! Tiddly winks, Poker, Darts, whatever! IF you can make enough money to get the attention of the public/gamblers/talented people at that discipline will follow. Seriously.....cow paddy tossing would be on T.V. if they were playing for $100,000. Hell I would watch it...

Well it is good to hear action exists in the 3c world! :) I guess coming from a pool background I just expected action in every discipline in the pool room. Not that I have to gamble to play....but it keeps your interest when there is at least table time involved. Pocket billiards has such a...

Hi guys, I have been playing a bunch of 3c lately and I am hard pressed to find action stories about the game? I get it that it is a game played by "gentlemen" wearing bow ties and a vest and all that, BUT there HAS to be some good action tales out there.....no? The game lends itself to action...

My god man!....don't ever let it get to where humor is #2 behind anything in my book! :) If I ever write..." seriously! I'm being serious here" I give AZB the right to pleez ban me forever! Have fun! G. please see Edit reasoning for my latest edit.....enough said!

Today my teacher and I had 2 EPIC defensive battles to 20 points......took 4-1/2 hours! I play, as he sais....WAY too loose, and I leave too much when I miss. So, I am learning the art of defense....separating the red and my CB from his, and shooting at a speed "just to make the hit".... It is...

oh no you di...int!

good idea, but isnt that what the red button is for? G.

Hi q, No, this was NEVER going to become a bash anyone session, and LP Cues are great IMO. What I wanted is just this....a good conversation about tecnique so we all can learn. I am in the process of converting some of my tooling to work on cues, and I am learning quickly. The cue really never...

Hey Tramp, turn on your spell check, the end of the post is all garbled dude! :) Well, the builder is LP Customs, and to this point there has been no issues. I have been bashing the hell outta the cue playing 3c lately, so I don't know? Thanks Royce, I have all the confidence in my 2 part...

Hi everyone, Yesterday while playing my cue felt a little weird. After an inspection, I found the joint collar on my (no good can come from naming the maker IMO) had become loose? So, I went out to my shop and unscrewed the collar to find a standard stainless steel threaded joint collar...

plonker? ok if you guys are going to use slang you need to run a link to Wiki or something after. There used to be a game show here called "Plinker" is it the same? :) oh shut it I'm kidding! On the topic, and this is the opinion of a plumber, it looks REALLY bad for all involved from my P.O.V...

Hey man, How have you been? I'm not sure how to get a hold of the results, but Bob Meucci did a test years back putting his cues up against others. I know it was extensive and they used mechanical means. Might be cool to find the results for your thread. have fun, Gerry

Did I miss something? Did Darren lose to a "non-pro" or something? How could he not want every entry fee paying feeble player in the universe entered? And there are so few "Pro" pool players IMO. How many Pro speed players make 100% of their living from the game, teaching, winnings, sponsors...

Yup, ANY pool player holding $500 is considered a Pro :) In the state our game is in now, we all should thank Allen for putting it together year after year........ Duh, yes I know he makes money from it! but remove it from the schedule, and what do we have? The Open? on the East Coast.... G.

We lost a great friend to the game in Pete Sinkler last night. Our thoughts and prayers go out Petey his son and his family. For those of us who got to hang out with, work for, and get to know Pete, I can only laugh when I think of him! :) He was a wonderfully funny dude, and EVERYTHING was...

Here are a few pics of the set up I use for tips, ferrules, wraps etc. It is an old school Delta 3 axis drill press with an "X" "Y" vise below it. Basically it is a lathe standing on end. Instead of a thru chuck I use the drill press to spin the shaft and an o-ring 3 bearing steady rest to hold...

Yea, well I'm a you tube junky honestly. My teacher has a different style then most, so I am going to try to video our sessions for review.... I am an extremely offensive player with defense a distant thought only on shots where I cannot make a hit. I am learning the other side of things now to...

Hey so, anyone wanna play today? I am thinking of going down to Classics Billiards today to hit some on the Kronos. I know it is the last day of SBE, but maybe someone out there...before going home can teach me a thing or 10? :) Let me know... G.
