    What have you done to support pool?

    [/SIZE][/COLOR] Tap Tap Tap.......could not agree more. Streaming is in its infancy now but as production skills grow.....broadcast equipment improves.....and any number of inovations arise from the minds of pools finest, it should have no trouble surpassing ESPN and it's efforts. I'm glad it...

    Try TAP! The fastest growing pool league in the country!

    I was one of the initial responders to your first post here. I and others suggested joining a league for friendly competition. Also suggested was the purchase of some good instructional material. It is obvious from your recent posts here that you have not heeded this advice. Almost every book on...

    BCAPL League Operators ---- PLEASE DON'T DO IT

    I think I may be missing something here. Will you be forced to play in the masters division.....or will it be by choice. If it is a matter of choice then this is a pointless arguement IMHO. The addition of a masters division would be doing precisely what you desire.....it allows the advanced...

    Whitten cases made in china

    1. No 2. NO 3. Yes If you or I look to buy a rolex for $200 we both know the chances of it being the real deal are slim to none. So we are making the purchase for one of two reasons. We believe it to be real ...but stolen from somewhere, in which case Greed is the controlling emotion. I think...

    Whitten cases made in china

    First of all ......I sympathize with those losing money to these practises, but I don't think the underlying reason has been discussed near enough. The reason these folks are able to continue is because of the greed factor. Anyone that does a bit of research knows about how much the product they...

    How do you determine the balance point

    A combination of trancendental meditation, zen yoga, and prosac keeps my cue well ballanced.......

    Best Way To Cut Tip In Half?

    If i had a pre-shaped crown on the tip I would simply lay the backside on a flat surface with some 180 grit sandpaper......sand as much off as you want....and have a perfectly flat face and prepared surface for gluing. Why ever bother with razor blades.....unless your really trying to make 2...

    Best break cue...??

    I bought a J&J jump/break from an AZ'er.....I think it had a samsara originally installed, but it was worn down so I installed an "Icebreaker" tip. I love the way it breaks, and yes I know the Icebreaker is illegal for some league and tourny use....but it is the best combo tip made IMHO.....Dan

    **Reminder** Always keep an eye out for your cues

    Probably a bad idea.........but I have seen and heard this type of horror story since I first started playing way back when. I'm certain there are those that make cue theft a profitable sideline. I've seen the shows on TV where they use a "Bait" car to entice would be thieves........what about...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    Well....it would require a hole be cut into an existing wall yes....the size of the hole would be determined by the size of the A/C unit. But this would be just a hole in the wall if or when you decided to remove the unit. By installing a small window you add dual functionallity.....not a bad...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    Well....like i said....you're down to a couple of options, a new exterior door....pre-hung and framed......aprox $150-300 and 6-8 hours of relaxed labor....ie...a beer or two. Or....a new window.....pre-framed and hung....maybe a little less expensive and time consuming than the door. If...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    A simple hollow core interior door is available at Home Depot or Lowes hardware store. It would require the addition of a couple pieces of plywood reinforcing panels for the A/C frame mounting hardware.....but these doors can be had for less than 50 bucks.....the addition of a couple of coats of...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    Well the lack of a seperate outside door is certainly a drawback. About the only othe option is to ask "Dad" if he would like a new window...LOL

    Fellini 1 x 2 Alligator print. Approximate value please?

    Please forgive my lack of knowledge here. I viewed the pics and tried to determine what "I" would pay for one of similar quality. I figured $75 - $125 based on other similar products available. I must conclude that this case was made by a famous maker and therefore has collector value. Quality...

    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    I still think an A/C unit would be another worthwhile investment. You mentioned that it was a rental property so permenant modifications to the structure are impossible for installation. An alternate solution is to purchase an inexpensive door to mount the window unit in. Then the original door...
