    Low-ranked Female Pros

    Well, Megan Minerich who used to live out here once ran 98 balls in straight pool. Melissa Little plays pretty good, she gets in the cash in the strong local tournaments all the time. Laura Smith can still play pretty well too, she has a lot of experience and can manage the table better than...

    8 ball break driving me nuts!!

    It's more than that. Watch the top players at the BCA and Valley national tournaments and I bet you half will be using this break with great success. Especially the master players. Yes, you may get some clusters but if you're a strong player, it's more important to keep control of the table...

    Southwest Cues

    I play with mine. Hell I even break with it.

    Southwest Cues

    Well, as you've heard, they are known for their hit. Yes, they all look similar but I think they have a nice classic understated design (they've been copied by many). The three high, three low point design and the ring work and I guess the big brass pin are all things that others do now but back...

    gambling and robbing an intoxicated person-moral values-rationalizations

    ;) Vagabond, I think I met you at the cueclub when something like this was happening a few months back. I'm guessing you're talking about the same guy. I made a few bucks that night betting on my friend Neil who was playing this guy. While I applaud your moral convictions, this guy isn't just...

    Hotel Suggestions for Vegas???? HELP

    The Hilton is the way to go, it's a short walk and you can walk right into the playing areas usually. Much nicer than Circus Circus. We tried the Sahara once and I gave up walking and cabed it back and forth which wasn't too bad. You can get a room at the Riv if you keep trying, assuming...

    Breaking with your playing cue ?

    I break with my Southwest. I use a triangle and don't have an issue keeping the shape, which is roughly a nickel radius. I've used the same tip for over a year now and I'm sure I've got at least 6 months left on it. And, I had it taken down a bit when it was put on. I don't like the look of new...

    So I watched the SVB vs Efren dvd...

    It was. I find it hard to believe though that you've never heard him say anything worthwhile while commentating on a match? Really, nothing? Anyway, I will say I haven't seen this video yet but one thing I like about the TAR stuff is that it's rough and crude and unedited. I watched a lot of...

    1-Pocket Break Question

    Can you still keep the cue ball on or near the side rail with only 1/2 tip of inside? I load it up with inside based solely on watching Cliff Joyner break back when he was here in Denver a long time ago. I thought you could hit more of the head ball and still keep the cue ball near the side...

    Pro side of pocket?

    I haven't read the responses yet but I "believe" missing to the pro side just means you got a roll. I've had people explain it to me as missing the best way possible but if I tried that I would just miss more, so I don't do that. Of course I cheat the pocket from time to time if I need to when...

    One-Pocket Strategy Question

    Your BCA National Team better watch out for us this year

    You guys are all just lucky that we're not playing in the BCA this year! :grin-square:Due to scheduling problems we are forced to play in the VNEA masters tournament instead (a couple of us are VNEA masters). Colorado teams tend to hold their own in the big team tournaments. I know of one very...

    One-Pocket Strategy Question

    I shoot this shot too. What can I say, I'm a sucker for an offensive shot. Sometimes though, I scratch two rails up table.

    Should league finals be held on barboxes?

    They should be held on the kind of tables the league is played on. I've only played in leagues that play on 7' tables (I've seen and heard of leagues that play on big tables but I haven't been involved in any), why would you switch up at the end of the season? It doesn't make sense. The "best"...

    Darren Appleton - US Bar Table 10-ball Champion

    I think the Ryder Cup changed for the same reason I mentioned before. Back when it was the USA against the UK, that might be similar to Californians against the EU or maybe the west coast against the EU.
