"Freezing the correct balls"???? I know that no rack is going to settle in perfect and there will always be a gap somewhere but the way you describe this sounds like you were deliberately rigging the rack which is cheating. I was in a pro tournament once where there were several near fights...

We're talking about threads you would never read not threads that would never exist. :p

There may be something to that. I used to have a problem in traffic when I was pulling my boat. I would go to change lanes and there would me a guy who was pacing me because he wanted to check out my boat. Really pisses you off when the guy ignores your turn signal and won't move causing...

Perfect. Now put 10 other guys around that guy. I am not exaggerating. It has happened with that many of them. When I asked if they could collect on the other side of their table which was completely empty instead of in my practice area, they told me to go play somewhere else. I did...

I have done that many times. Sometimes multiple times in the same day. Sometimes that option is not available. In this case there are 3 tables in a row configured with the same specifications. The pockets are tighter, which I do not care about, the rails are good and they roll well, which...

I almost forgot I posted this thread. The reason my phone is on my mind is because about a week and a half before this happened, there was another group that moved in on me. I looked up from a shot and this guy is sitting in my chair where I had all my stuff and he had my jacket in his hands...

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS for a fishing pole!!!!! How is this possible???? http://www.orvis.com/p/bamboo-1856-805-3-full/2fjx Granted I don't know anything or have proper appreciation for this thing but this just freaked me out.

I know this has been discussed before. I think that it must be brought to forum again in the hopes that someone may read this who is not aware how rude and inconsiderate they are being. I go to the pool hall at the times when it is most likely that no one is in there. As far away from the...

Thought about it. Finally got my old ones out of storage (long story) and I am hitting the ball better than ever. I am thinking I will keep them. I haven't been able to play in years and I think I am set for the best scoring season of my life. If you don't think fishing is aggravating...

I'm going with fly rod. It will be my first one. I have no idea what to start with. I have a pond out back where I can learn to use it.

It does look like a backwards cut until you watch it enough times to catch the carom off the balls being banked back into the balls that are knocked straight in. An interesting setup. Somebody put some work into it.

Ah CGI. I couldn't figure how they did it. Thanks.

I guess this has been around for a while. I just saw it and it is pretty cool. I am still not convinced it is real. I have watched it a few times and it is starting to look plausible. The first time you see it you will think it has to be rigged. Now I am not sure. It may be a...

It was the same way in Atlanta. All the rooms had a rule. No money on the floor at all. You were allowed to have money out to pay the waitress or pay at the cash register. If you were seen with money out anywhere else, you were barred. The cops even raided the old Johnson city tournament...

It may be wrong but that is the law. I was there.

I heard of that guy. The way I heard it he was spitting the cue ball three rails and making the 8 in the corner. One time, sitting at the bar in the pool hall, some guys bet another guy that he could not walk over to the wall and put his hand on the wall and not move his hand for one...

It is not legal. I worked at the Golden Cue on Winchester in Memphis years ago right after the police busted the place and hauled all the players off to jail. If money touches the table for any reason, or in money changes hands at the table you will be arrested. I have not heard of any...

A garage, in Houston? It's humidity dude. I haven't seen simonis fuzz up to any significant degree. When I had my table in my apartment in Florida I had to get a de-humidifier. Home Depot and Lowes has them. I was pulling 10 gallons of water a day out of the air. I am not...

Which other threads? I tried searching for them and could not find anything.

Jillians are Gold Crowns and they play OK. It is expensive though. It is a social place, not a pool hall. It's OK if you just want to hit some balls. Not good for serious practice. I used to start my happy hour there every Friday. That was back before Grady got his place. I never...
