    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I would like to put my name in as a supporter for creating a forum space for this type of thread. Maybe a different thread for Aramith, Vigma, Raschig (sp?), Brunswick, misc. I know I use this thread as a reference when I'm "hunting". I just wish the photo's on the older posts handn't timed out.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I have been looking for these since K2Kraze posted a photo of his set on 3/25/16. I was lucky enough last week to find a set of New In Box, never been played. Which arrived this weekend. They will be used from time to time... 'Cause thats what they were made for. I liked them so much...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I do not... correction... can not concentrate enough at my own residence to play vs. another human in anything other than a very low stakes game. Too many distractions. Therefore it's all honor system. Most of the time, when someone else is at the table, I'm either petting the dogs...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    The particular set I posted, will stay at my home and be used on my home table. By people that I have invited. Having said that, If I can't trust those people enough that there would be a problem, then they won't be back. End of story. @K2Kraze. Yes that's a numbered 8 ball. I thought...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I got these over the holidays. I am color blind. Having said that I know that one wouldn't think that it would make much difference... BUT I played with these over the weekend and I'm serious when I say that the patterns STAND OUT for me. It's almost like a road map. My brother, who is not...

    Pool Hall Photos From All Over.

    Based on the updated photo, I would rather believe that we are seeing an optical illusion. The electric light is in front of the old gas light. From the angle the photo was taken the electric light appears above the gas light.

    How many of today's pro players use solid stainless steel piloted joints

    Mine too!! And I actually like playing witht he new shaft better than my 314 Cat, and the Wood shafts. But phases are just that, phases. :D

    The new Aramith tournament balls

    From the perspective of a color blind player... I LIKE THEM! I feel like they would even the field just a little for me, that is until my opponent learned the new color scheme.

    Brunswick purchases Kentucky company, moves all operations to Mexico..

    I know this is a pool/billiards related website, and if this breaks the rules then I understand why it would be deleted. However, it is a post about a very well known company in the pool/billiards community. That company being Brunswick. This past Friday morning, 170 (+/-) employees of...

    New APA Roster Manager App

    Hah.. I guess that's a good point. Based on that, I assume that means in the paid app, you can't save your roster? Not a deal breaker at all.

    New APA Roster Manager App

    Downloaded the free version to check it out. Looks like something I'd be interested in. In the paid app, is there a way to denote who on your team is present that evening? We have a couple of guys that have odd schedules and aren't always there.

    Disappointing Sportsmanship or Not?

    The few times I've had the opportunity to play snooker, I ask on almost every shot. With numbers on the balls, the only excuse I have is my own laziness.

    Disappointing Sportsmanship or Not?

    I'm color blind. I try to look at the numbers before every shot, but sometimes I "assume". If I shoot the wrong ball, that's on me for not reading the numbers.

    My personal struggle being a slower player

    I'm just glad to see that a person with a Fargo Rate 300 point higher than mine (I suck, but I have fun) and 1k more scored games than I have, fights the same demons that I do. *Edit* - I actually likes watching that match. I could actually see you thinking through the rack. Kind of a...

    League -Getting a foul called on you that you know isn't.....

    You didn't specify which league. But, some of them state that it's the shooters call if there wasn't a neutral observer.

    Disappointing gesture from Shane

    Not that what a hack like me does is of any concern, but I carry a small 3" x 3" piece of cloth in my case that is specifically for this purpose. Keeps the inside of my case clean and I don't eff up anybody's property. That's just the way my momma raised me.

    New aramith balls

    No matter what they do, I doubt it solves the issue that i'm COLOR BLIND and have no idea what ball is what without seeing the numbers. (someday I'm gonna file a civil suit! <-- I'm joking)

    Home table guys, how much do you practice a week?

    My table is in my Garage, and although my garage is insulated it does not have Air Conditioning... and in Indiana right now, it's hotter than blue blazes and the humidity is at about 90%.... So NONE!! However, when it's comfortable outside, at least 3 - 4 hours a week.
