    McDermott "Lucky" Cues ... What a Bargain !

    Gotta agree with this one. I sold mine to a buddy at the bar and it's still shooting great! Definitely would recommend to anyone.

    Deadstroke stories...

    I've only had a few fleeting glimpses of dead stroke... It's odd really because it's true that you don't even really realize it at the time it's actually happening. Once you do notice you're in dead stroke it's no longer with you. Kind of a sad story... It feels good looking back on it though...

    Weird house rules?

    Bar Rules Suck!!! It is so lame when some chump thinks he can shoot but insists bar rules (call shot, no table scratch, BiH out of the kitchen) is the better set of rules. These people can't appreciate a good hit, let alone a good safe :banghead: The 8-Ball "clean" rule is by far the worst...

    Deadstroke stories...

    Those are low standards bro... Dead stroke by anyone's definition, should at least be running out and prolly stringing racks together too... It's not like I've ever put a five pack together or anything and I'm lucky to average five balls an inning most nights but I still get all giddy when I...

    Alright JJ, I gotta know the story behind this pic! Is this a legitimate picture with Buddy actually standing next to these girls, or was this photoshopped? Man I would've loved to be in the room for that one. Hilarious :rotflmao: Was this for a promo of some sort? Cuz if it is... I would...

    YOUR story with a PRO PLAYER

    Ok, so I didn't actually get the chance to play with the guy but I did watch him play for a while and wow what a stroke! I get to league night and head over to our table when I notice a face that is quite familiar. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I knew this guy was somebody. He was...

    Most upscale place you ever played pool

    I've never actually been to this place but I like to scour the internet to find some of the best places I want to go shoot at. I'm basically building a map so I can drive around to all these awesome rooms some day. That said, The Crooked Cue in Canada looks to be one hell of a fancy place to...

    Pleasures of Small Motions

    Sorry Donny, I wasn't trying to imply that you were some cheap nit or something. I just wanted to make sure you knew that you can't have mine :cool: I think it is very good of you to think of your students like that and try to give them materials that would really help. I commend you sir...

    Free Information Resources?

    "I am still here, el Guapo..." hahahahhaha I love that line :grin-square: Seriously though... I too have been trying to absorb as much knowledge as I could. I started ordering a few books here and there from amazon then I realized I pay taxes. I decided to take a few minutes to search through...

    Pleasures of Small Motions

    I've read it and I found it to be pretty interesting. It was written and presented in a very understanble manner. It allowed me to understand all the different thoughts going through my head and how to organize it all better. Having the doctors' perspective was really helpful with just getting...

    Valley pool table desk

    That is so cool!!! I would totally have that as my desk! Too bad this didn't come up last month. I could've tried to stick it in the budget for this year. Do you think my boss would have noticed???

    Great Movie Scenes featuring Pool

    I was just watching Tombstone yesterday, I've seen it many times before but it's been a few years. While it is definitely a great movie in it's own right, there is one scene that just speaks to me. The scene when the Earp brothers are at the bar discussing business while playing pool. Morgan...
