    What to look for in 8 ball racks?

    I have no breaking secrets, but I do seem to be able to make a ball on the break more often than not. Given the choice I'd rather break than let my opponent have the chance, especially if we are playing BCA rules as opposed to APA.

    Forum rage

    Misanthropy is alive and well on AZ forum. I tend to agree with previous posters on the subject of cowardice.

    Would you want him?

    Yup I voted yes, and while I agree that past behavior can serve to predict future behavior, no one can be certain that Earl would "act out" and shame his team mates. If he has earned the right to go....then he should!

    Why not Atlantic City?

    How about the Memphis/Tunica area. We are situated about as close to center US as possible with many local attractions as well. I know the casinos have hosted some major tournys in the past. You promoters and players......Give Memphis a look see.........Dan

    Addressing Mod Issues in Chat Rooms

    There ya go....good on ya! If folks can't put their big boy pants on and play well with others, then they should be forever banned from ruining the enjoyment of others. Never understood the internet bully. Fighting in chat rooms is childish and moronic.....Dan

    A lag question.....no...not that kind of lag!

    I'm trying to watch the stream of Great Southern and the screen just stalls out, then resumes some 5 to 10 seconds later as live action. Kinda frustrating not being able to see all the shots. Is this sort of thing normal for streaming live action? I've got a great hi speed connection and am...

    Owner wins his own tournament

    I agree that the owner should play. If he wins his own tourny then he should roll over the pot to next weeks event. He would probably get a great turnout as word spread about what a stand up guy he is and a great deal of respect from all that entered. Of course this is just one mans...

    Welcome! Welcome to the forum. I'll not elaborate on the acronyms as you seem to be getting a good start from others. I will offer some friendly encouragement. You have stumbled upon what I perceive to be, the best collection of pool knowledge ever assembled. There are those here that will...

    wow !!! a gambler for 60.000.00

    This guy is straight up honest. I don't know him and have nothing to gain by saying so. This cinder block building he refers to was on Getwell Blvd. and it is where Bob first started producing cues. I know this because I installed his alarm system for Wells Fargo and helped his electrician with...

    Master Teams

    I don't think I am at master level, probably not even close. I do know that I am able to enter local bar tournys here and with an ante of $5 am able to have a chance at winning $100 for 1st and usually close to $35 for 3rd. At one location I play I have won the past two Sunday night tournys for...

    three person billiard games

    Hmmmm.....cut throat.....yup I remember playing that. It's the game where 2 players attempt to sucker an unknown into a friendly game for a dollar a ball ...... then tag team him. I wish you luck in your goal to develop an interesting 3 person game, but I'd never play it with strangers...Dan

    Lost pool cue

    The suggestion about checking the pawn shops is a good one. You also might want to ammend your reward poster to include "any information leading to the recovery of". A thief usually has few friends and if someone can profit by exposing one.....it should increase your chances. The up-side of all...

    wrap vs. wrapless

    Sweating is not the problem for me.....at least not a large problem. What makes me choose wrapped is the humidity in most places I play here. During the 9 or so months of summer here in Memphis, we average 80% + humidity. Makes for a sticky feel on wrapless. I have linen now, but will be...

    Pool Hall Marketing Question

    I'm sure Jay can provide insight far better than I, but a few simple things come to mind. Ladies night, student discount, coupons in a local rag. Also take a look at some of the more popular entertainment locales in your area. See what they are doing that appeals to the masses and blatantly copy...

    Jesse Engle should have a sponsor...........

    Mike of pool dawg makes a very relevant statement. It really is all about return on investment. Has this young man taken any classes in public speaking? Is he articulate and personable? Does he have the desire to self promote and seek out exposure. Does he have positive public exposure already...
