If this has been discussed, I appologize but for some reason I can't master the search function in this forum. (A search for home league returned 200+ results) It is becoming pretty normal for 4 to 6 people to show up at my place one night a week for "billiards and beverages". The normal...

flame me if you want but this is how I see it. 9-ball = checkers 8-ball = Chess both equally tough if/when playing against a skilled opponent.

A little bit of LD shaft related humor. A friend of mine was banging balls with Brian Groce a week or so ago... My friend was attempting a shot (I don't remember and it really doesn't matter) and Brian grabbed his cue (with an LD shaft) to show him the shot. Brian, shooting as if he was using...

Points, but simple. Specifically the veneered (sp?) look of the old titlist type cues.

Wow! I feel like I'm in the minority here. I play pool to relax from the daily grind of life. Oh and to answer another thread in here... Losing sucks! (but I'm good at it)

To quote/paraphrase the "wisdom of the sages" in my pool room. "you gotta control Whitey!"

I find this... disappointing. :(

Add me to the list as well. would love to see this video.

serious question as I've often wondered about the above statement... How would you suggest that one begin in his or her quest to play "Good straight pool"? Without having a local expert or even straight pool player available, how would a person even begin practicing the game?

I've an oversized 8 footer in my home and play on Bar boxes when competing. I do make sure to get to the bar boxes early enough to adjust for speed, but as Maniac said above, after shooting on all of that "green", things just seem easier. (even though their not). but don't take my word, I'm...

ahhh... The Zone. In Basketball, it's been said that when in "The Zone" the hoop looks like it's the size of a bushel basket. In Baseball, they say that you can read the lettering on the baseball, and in both it's said that time seems to slow down. For me, on the rare occasion that I enter...

and while were at it... approximately how much stretch for Mercury Ultra on a 8 foot oversized table? Please?

I can't post links (work rules and all that) but... I've found that, when these artists make hit the speakers where I shoot, my comfort level jumps. - AC/DC (Practice Only)... don't have time for the air guitar during actual competition. - Hank Williams Jr. - John Prine with the exception of...

- Brunswick Regina Table - Drop Pockets, Number 6 irons. I'm not at home to look at my pockets, but I am pondering over the decision to either replace the entire pockets or save myself a few (hundred) dollars and just replace the nets. Can somebody tell me what goes into replacing the nets...

I know for a fact that there used to be a thread on here where people were posting photo's from old pool rooms. and pool rooms from around the world. I've used the search feature but am having zero luck. If you know where it is, I've got a whole Friday at work to kill.. :) images from that...

Oh yeah, it's a great feeling. I just wish I didn't have to get pissed for it to happen. (this was the case in other sports as well.)

let me prefix this with a disclaimer. I'm a league player... end of story. I don't profess to be good, I just enjoy the game on my own conditions. This past Thursday I was playing in a TAP league (8-ball). I'm a 4, I was playing a 3. I was admittedly playing to my opponents weaknesses in...

Count me in as well... or, has the number been hit yet?

sounds like fun... 05-07-17-18-22-27 01-14-15-22-33-41 11-12-15-39-47-52

It took me a minute to realize that you had put a model number in your response title... Since it doesn't quite match the SP-20 or STL-19, I'll do some research in this direction. Thanks for the info.
