    APA and Mosconi Cup

    I just joined an APA league. I was able to review rules of play online prior to signing up. If anyone had a gun held to their head and was forced to play APA , I am unaware of it. Point of all this is.....You knew what you were getting into and elected to go forth anyway. Probably for the same...

    Any BK Rush Reviews

    I seem to have read or heard that the hybrid tip was a combination of kevlar.( think bullet proof vest) and leather. Cannot confirm this of course, but it does seem a logical combo for strength and durability.

    BK Rush Review

    IMHO and that of many others as well, the break shot is what separates the sheep from the wolves. Yes in all games there will come a time when a particular shot is critical....but the break is always critical. I've been reading reviews, comments from top players, insight from instructors, and...

    Any BK Rush Reviews

    I did the same thing with Omega.....called as soon as they opened and was able to get the sport wrap Rush. 1 hr later a friend of mine called and was told they sold out. I played with one a friend has and loved it. Must be a lot of folks with the same experience cause they are damned hard to...

    Hi, let's talk about Chinese 8-Ball

    I agree completely with this defence. The poster appeared to polite, well informed, and completely honest. I saw no blatant advertising. All that being said.....it is not my forum and I respect the right of those that administer it. If they decide to remove one of my posts for whatever...

    Cue holders

    Eric also appears to be somewhat misogynistic. Bet pool playing women avoid him like the plague.:rolleyes:

    APA question

    Every league will have its detractors. Thing is....if you want to play league pool for whatever reason, you have to find one near you that fits your schedule. For some this is only possible by playing APA. Rules for all leagues are available prior to your joining. If you read these rules...

    Schon Cues

    Not sure how old my Schon is.....it is a LTD 1309 and it does have the CNC points. I had a Runde era Schon prior to purchasing this one....it was stolen. When I purchased this one my concern was for the feel/feedback, would it equal or exceed the previous cue. I'm happy to say I am completely...

    Things I've learned here and know to be true.

    Thank you for chiming in Joeyln. I have not researched all pro players and their sponsors, but it seems logical to assume that sponsorship is a part of most pros life if they are not independently wealthy. As stated by many others....pros need all the help they can get. Product suppliers...

    Things I've learned here and know to be true.

    Here we go.....Get a Grip.....you seem to enjoy playing the devils advocate on this forum. Your first ad lib......about the "best".....you say that the milk dud is best for you, you know that by your personal experience. That is precisely what I stated......best for you by discovery......not...

    Things I've learned here and know to be true.

    I have been stumbling around various pool halls, dedicated pool forums, and such for better than 45 yrs. My game hasn't improved much....but my knowledge base has grown enormously. I'm gonna attempt to share a few "truths" with y'all. Some already know them, newer inexperienced players my find...

    Do the Filipinos give back?

    Do not know or care about the OP's motivation for this post. I served in the navy when the Filipinos were not allowed to serve as anything other than messcooks or officers wait staff. Fortunately that has changed now. I can say that those who question the contributions of these fine people must...

    Schon LTD 1309 FS

    I have this same cue...mine IS NOT for sale.I will testify to its beauty and playability. Nice solid thunk when played with a kamui clear and OB-2 shafts. I have played with some cues that cost triple what this cue is selling for and felt mine played better.....for me at least.

    jb rugged versus instroke premier case

    I own one of the instroke buffalo series cases. I have no problems whatsoever with butt and shaft retention. Everything seems quite well protected by the full length tubes. If I had one complaint it would be the stitching. I would have liked to see double stitching throughout. Mr. Barton makes a...

    How much feedback do you think a member needs to be considered a trusted trader?

    I'm certain that folks on here with multiple trades with other members are trustworthy. I've also heard that two common items can make a thief of most any man....a lighter or an inkpen....keeping all that in mind....My first priority doing a trade would be making certain I knew where and how to...

    Should tournaments ban the use of ivory cues?

    Hell fire people...elephant ivory is not the only ivory available. Ivory is beautiful and adds much to the overall asthetics of a cue that incorporates it. Walrus ivory is an acceptable substitute IMHO and as far as I know is not subject to regulation or restriction. If I am wrong about this I...

    schon ltd,sp,r,std,sld??

    You sir, are about to get as many differing opinions as there are Schon owners. The judgement you solicit is purely subjective and as such can never be answered with blanket certainty. I can say that I own an LTD. The play and hit seem similar to other Schons but do any two,three, four or more...

    Jobs former pro players should try

    Just my personal opinion, and perhaps not the best solution, but I think the OP should change his Nic to numnuts.....at least that would provide some idea of exactly what you are dealing with.....Dan
