    Poolroom Humanity: Gave Me Faith in Poolplayers Again.

    Being a southern boy myself.....I'm surprised that you were surprised. Yup...us "good ole boys/rednecks have some faults and I'm sure there is a wife beater or two in the crowd.....but most folks in my neck of the woods do not take kindly to the abuse of women. It is probably 50/50 odds that the...

    The perfect tip.....

    I'm not taking sides here, I DO install my own tips, but would agree that it is far eaiser to read the process than it is to accomplish it correctly. Think back on those christmas toys that contained the dreaded phrase.....Some Assembly Required, instructions included. We all know it took you 3...

    How much is too much for you to bet racing to 9?

    I follow pretty much the same principle. I allocate money out of my budget for entertainment. It is not just my money I am spending, it belongs to the family. I can't imagine a family man gambling $500 + of the family budget unless they are independently wealthy. I have said this same thing to...

    When you changed to a LD shaft ?

    I bought 2 OB-2 shafts for my Schon. I left the everest tip on one and replaced the other with a Moori Med. ( my prefered tip ) I shoot well with both but the Moori just seems to grab a little better. Could be just mental bias on my part.......Dan

    Cue damage - concerns

    If the plastic tube is flexable.....ie...not rigid pvc....it is possible for the box to show only a small crease. The cardboard has a crushability factor that allows it to return to shape somewhat after impact, the tube itself will also rebound to it's original shape. The bubble wrap is great...

    Interesting way to sell cues

    I like this salesman and wish his store was close by.....but lets get into a real world situation here......If I go into Billiards supply in Memphis....and ask to play for 3-4 hrs with a variety of cues......I'm gonna get run off quickly. The salesman is gonna say......hey,I cant let you chalk...

    "sand bagging" Yes or No ?

    I'm gonna add another wrinkle here. I have a friend in the APA league. His team captain encourages his lower level players ( SL2-3-4) to always rearrange the furniture while playing higher skill levels. He will tell them to look for the opponents "Key" ball and attempt to move it......even go so...

    Best tip in the world story!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great story I agree with the "old man"....I got tired of paying to have tips installed only to have them pop off in the middle of a game. I never gave any thought to the possibility of excess heat generated with the lathe process could weaken/destroy the integrity of the leather. I figured it...

    Support your room owner, or save a buck?

    In todays economy or any days economy, price is always a factor, most often it is THE deciding factor. An astute businessman recognizes this and develops a marketing strategy accordingly. I mentioned in another post the possibility of a room owner/supplier giving some free table time with a cue...

    "sand bagging" Yes or No ?

    another wrench in the gears With the exception of the " two way" shot, I think the video is a pretty good tool for determining intent. IMHO the 2 way shot is the most difficult to interpret. I hear a very convincing arguement......2 way shots always begin with the intent of making a...
