    Just curious?

    I had certainly hoped so... like you, I bought her own cue for her, and bought a set of "Mickey and Minnie" pool balls. She was never really interested though. Now days she wants to play occasionally but never seriously.

    Just curious?

    When my daughter was born I realized that continuing my addiction to golf would harm my relationship with my daughter in terms of time stolen by being gone all day for 2 or 3 days a week. I quit golf and bought a table to have some "guy time" that I could enjoy anytime I had a moment at home...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    Hi everyone... Legends just posted on FB that Jayson wanted to have another go at it TONIGHT! They are going back live because Jayson believes his is playing hot and wants to try to break the personal best he just set! Could this be day he goes to 500?!

    must be an idiot. lol

    Similar to your story, I played with a Tiger Medium for nearly 15 years! All the hoopla about tips comes and goes but as long as what I have is working, I just roll with it. I recently finally changed it out to a G2 Medium and have been very pleased. It may outlive me! LOL

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    Wow thank you for this information! Tiger comes in a bottle similar to Aramith so I thought it would be a similar product. I will look in to that today! A spray cleaner is definitely the best method for the CG machine the way its made

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    Thank you all for the many suggestions and thoughts on this thread. I restarted this thread after several years of dormancy to help me decide on a cleaner. As most of you probably know now, I bought the Clean Gleem because Diamond and Ballstar were both 3 to 4 months out in wait time and I had...

    Gloves?

    I play left handed. I have found that in billiard gloves, it's more difficult to find gloves for lefties specifically. I just buy the cheap regular gloves and wear them on the other hand. The only difference between right and left hand billiard gloves as far as I can see is the side the logo...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    CG 16 ball cleaner is a big machine. Very boring to look at. I was planning to paint it, but here is my more simple solution 😀

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    I'm sad too. Everyone says what a great guy he is. He promised to send me replacements 3 times and never did. I don't see him the same way. I still have the message chain but I'm not going to beg. Just will never do business with him and I recommend to others I know not to use his accu rack...

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    I found these to be TERRIBLE! I bought a set and they left VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE Blue Spots on EVERY cue call I launched off of them. I contacted the owner on his FB business page. He said the problem was corrected and he would send me a replacement set. I reached back out SEVERAL times...

    #1 Myth in Pool

    Whether it's eyes, arthritis, a bad leg, stress from a divorce, a bad nights sleep, a cold, a toothache or WHATEVER, I find that most of us are MUCH better at making excuses than we are at overcoming our challenges with practice, lessons and hard work at the table. I know it's true of me! :-)

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    This ball would look GREAT with a set of Centennials!

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    I have all three. Black Measles Duramith, Black Arcos II Triangles and Centennial (among others) I know all the talk about the difference between Arcos II and Duramith but in real world play I can not tell ANY difference in burn marks (Both leave none really) or contact marks. I know that is...

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    If you are worried about burn marks on your home table from breaking, use the joker from a deck of cards under the cue ball when you break. (Or any other card of course) I have the Arcos II and the Tournament Black. I really like both and can not tell a difference. Neither leaves a break...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    I'm very glad I got mine when I did! I suppose high end cleaners are a very small, almost microscopic market. No one seems to manufacture, stock, or maintain consistent distribution of ANY of them! Perhaps all of the CG units sold out because they were all that were readily available. I hope...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    Personally I was blown away a few threads ago when I first saw your bucket polisher idea. Best EVER! Of that type. Your model had inspired me to build my own but finally I just decided I wanted a nicer professional machine I could leave out in my office / pool room. We are all anxiously...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    This makes perfect sense to me. ESPECIALLY if you have a 16 ball machine. If I played mostly 9 ball, it's no trouble at all to just toss all 16 into the CG and turn the knob. My reason for the post you reference is really intended to be less about cleaning 1/2 rack but rather I would like...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    The cue ball is the best part. On an off day from work, I can go through 2 or 3 cue balls over a few hours in terms of them being covered with marks. I usually change out the ball every couple of hours of play. My normal routine before now was to clean the entire set by hand once a week. Now...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    I would really like to be able to test this out. Given the hardness of Phenolic and the softness of the carpet, as you mentioned, it would likely take many years to make much difference, but none of us can speak to this with any authority as it has never been tested as far as I know. At 5...
