It works great! Thanks.

I need an ad blocker. The untimely and extra loud ads are pissing me off. Is there an ad blocker available somewhere?

I bought a mass production cue off of ebay (Palmer) for $50. I then paid a local cue maker $100 to put on an ivory ferrule, a layered tip, and a customized taper to the shaft. The fake (painted on) inlays make it look like an expensive cue. It plays just as well as my Black Boar.

Here's what a female friend said to me from another forum. "I would think with your avocation, of shooting pool, that you would always keep your nails manicured. I'm glad that you got a manicure. It makes a very nice impression." So, Am I the only one here with a manicure?

I had a Black Boar for about twenty years. I sold it a few years ago for a 400% profit. Tony says that when he dies the value of his cues will skyrocket. His web site is worth a look. http://blackboarcustomcues.com/guarantee/default.asp

oops! wrong url.

Getting back to league play... I started on a new APA team at Galaxy Billiards in Silver Spring, MD. This is a very large upscale sports bar. They have 35 Gold Crown 4's with super speed rails and Simonis cloth sprayed with Scotch Gurad. They have twice as many TV's and a boom box that's...

I once bought an imitation Balabushka for $600. I didn't know that it was an imitation at the time (made by Adam Cue) and I thought I was robbing the guy.

There should be no gaps at all in a legitimate 8 ball rack. It seems to me that there is an inherent disadvantage in breaking. Is it true that more times than not no ball goes in on an 8 ball rack?

What kind of pool cue is it using? It looks laser guided.

I had quite an interesting experience playing in the APA league this past winter. I'm not a very good team player. I'm used to playing in tournaments. I would prefer to try a masse shot rather than play a safety like I should for the sake of the team. This particular league has been in...

I saw the first show. I call it a show rather than a clinic with all the fancy cameras, monitoring, a chat room, and Pat being in great form. There were very good questions from the audience. I can't wait until next week. I'm glad I have a PayPal account. I tried the practice drill that Pat...

About 25 years ago I found a book at the Central Branch Wilmington Deleware Library called "The Biography of Jimmy Caras". I wonder if it is still there?

Thanks to all who replied to my question about cutting a ball backwards. This is the first time I ever saw the word "gearing" related to pool. I enjoyed all the replies. The commentary, the exchange of dialogue, the knowledge, the videos (which I was able to download with my YouTube...

Is it possible, (taking in factors such as spin,friction coeficient, and other possible factors) to cut a shot in at 90 degrees or <90 degrees?

Will Cue Sports become part of the Olimpics? If so, how soon?

I've been watching pool players calk their cues over the years. It seems like there are many approaches to this concerted concern. I've seen the one-handed scrap the corner of the chalk over the tip while turning the cue. I've also seen the time consuming two handed close-up view approach...
