Interesting question Have we reached the pinnacle of cue building craft...My answer would be yes and no. The artistic quality is sure to improve as technology improves the ability to transform what is in the minds eye to a reality in wood. Playability quality is kinda up for grabs IMHO. It has...

This ain't rocket science I have introduced many ( assign any number of your choice) women to pool as a part of our "date". Upon looking back I can honestly say that most, if not all, had a great time and some even requested further instruction and advice. I can also say that I never ran into a...

OK then......if I do think that Pred shafts don't work.....then I'm sane. Thank Gawd for OB.......Dan

Flavor of the Month I hope those of you with problems find an acceptable solution. I can't help but reflect on past tip reviews and remark how history does indeed repeat itself. Not too far back in time...Moori was the be all....end all....answer to "best tip out there" question. Then players...

Ok.....I'm not a world traveler, and motels are not a part of my everyday lifestyle.......BUT.....I have never seen a deposit that was not refundable with appropriate advance notice...(usually 30 days). Is this a Raddison policy across the board,or did the local owner see a way to screw SBE in...

Thank you creedo, 'preciate the info. next time I'll give it a try

This is the shot I was refering to in my original post, I said draw the cb....but intended to say follow......wish I knew how to use the damn template...lol

I'll send ya a PM when I get settled.......been gone about 2 years now.

I think if there were an answer to the question.....How do I insure a profit? everyone would know it. Certain investments have a better chance of increasing in value but with pool cues in general, I think it is a crap shoot. High end collectables will always retain value, and in most cases...

Geeeze.....I'd love to play......but that 2000 mile commute would get old in a hurry.....LOL:grin-square:

My feelings exactly.....I would try to make this a two way shot......kissing the 15 to make the 1 and drawing the cb back to the long rail....I would shoot this bank at pocket speed and would be trying to freeze the cb to the rail......tough bank for him if you miss and an easy shot down the...

Would it be good for all pool players to use a formalized set of rules, yes in some aspects it would be a unifying action and make our sport less subject to criticism from outsiders and newcommers, but is it really necessary or essential for our continued growth? Probably not! You are going to...

I have 2 of the three you list in your poll. My favorite by far is "The 8 Ball Bible" In my opinion it is much better illustrated and proof read than the works by capelle. I also agree with the poster that mentioned it was geared more twords the Bbox player. If I were only able to own one book...

The first game I learned was rotation and I still play as practice on occasion. I would agree with the gentlemen that suggested that time constraints and lengthy safety battles relegate this game to the dedicated few, more's the pity. It is definately on par with 14:1 for developing most skills...

I have had all I can stand of Yankeeland Vermont. This southern boy longs for the smell of hickory smoked pork, and the sweet drawl of southern belles. I will be returning to the Memphis Tn. area in May. Would love to meet some of you in that area and perhaps get involved in some sort of league...

BB 8 ball Currently locked into Barbox 8 ball, but would love to find a BCA 10 ball league. or any 10 ball league for that matter.

Seems to me that this is not a rule question, as a player is required to call the ball and pocket. What this is going to boil down to is ...did he really call safe, and who if anyone verified the call to you. The burden of communicating intent falls upon the shooter, but you as an opposing...

From what I see ......you made the proper choice, you just failed to execute it properly....keep setting it up and shooting till ya get it right. Doing this should help prevent a brain fart if this shot is encountered again.

Just got this one about 6 months ago. sorry for the use of a site pic.....camera needs a battery I guess. The pic looks exactly like mine but I got it with OB-2 schon shafts. I love this cue. I have seen many references to a difference in hit between the older model schons vs newer models. I...
