    Whats there to get right? You make sure it’s going to be right when you first place the order. After that it’s a waiting game. If you didn’t want to be patient you should have ordered something already made. Yup. I’d tell him no thank you if he tried to order again

    Your First Time

    as a child I always liked pool but the adults wouldn’t let me play lol when I was 15 my best friends dad took us to the local pool hall. The ivory billiard room. He showed us the basics of holding a cue and English. At the time all my friend and I wanted to do is play chess.. that all changed...

    Humidity

    Yup.. when I had that issue I was lucky to have a french drain in that house. I hooked the tube to it so the water would drip in that and let it run all the time. I had no choice. I could dump that tub twice a day

    526 consecutive balls

    I I’m sure equipment has a lot to do with it. Mike Sigel also thinks by his posts that he can still play and beat the best players in the world and should be on the mosconi cup team 😂 so I’m not sure I’d take anything he says with anything more then a grain of salt. He wouldn’t run 2k balls...

    526 consecutive balls

    I don’t know if anyone talked about it on this thread but straight pool and the way it’s played has changed since mosconi. When you watch them play they chipped at racks knocking a few balls loose. Now the focus is blasting the rack wide open to run out. That’s a pretty big difference in style...

    526 consecutive balls

    Wow.. lol don’t even know where to start 😂 if you think the current record holder couldn’t run 250 on some big pocket 4x8 table you’re delusional. Shaw plays on 4 inch pockets. those things mosconi was playing on would look like buckets. Shaw was one stroking most of the shots like it was a...

    How many still have the first cue they ever bought?

    I wish.. I tend to sell things I don’t use and I didn’t want to be tempted to go back to playing with something as soon as I have a bad so I sell them. 3 cues I wish I wouldn’t have sold. 1) my first McDermott . Blue with a baby blue wrap. Crazy enough I still have the plastic sleeve that says...

    Breaking - Carbon v’s Wood

    I’m anal so if I didn’t buy it and it doesn’t match it would bother the hell out of me.. luckily $800 doesn’t mean much to me but I try to save anyone else from wasting their money. Sometimes I think all break cues are over rated. The tip came off my bk3 and I was breaking with a player sneaky...

    Breaking - Carbon v’s Wood

    When it comes to breaking meh.. I replaced my bk3 and air with bk rush and air rush. The air rush jump cue is amazing compared to the air. The bk rush I find is no batter at all then my bk3. Honestly it might be the biggest waste of money I’ve had in pool in 35 years of playing.

    Tipping tournament directors - do you tip on calcutta amount as well?

    I have never even given it a thought. I don’t think it’s something you tip but if you do that’s fine. as someone who has ran his fair share of tournaments I never received nor expected one.as cheesy as it sounds A day of running an event playing the game I love surrounded by people that love it...

    Fargo Starter Rating Affecting “True” Average?

    APA tells you that you will fluctuate a lot in the first 10 weeks. I came in as a 7 .. was an 8 after a week… then played the entire session beating everyone until finally becoming a 9. I just started playing in the Uspal league that goes by Fargo. Before that I only had an acs league that...
