    People are Failing, not Pool Rooms...

    Maybe we need to dumb it down some with the simple games like 15 ball. . .I think this is basically a single rack of straight pool where you need any 8 balls to win. Like 8 ball, but easier. To me the keys to pool hall success are getting all the APA types out an extra night or 2 a week...

    People are Failing, not Pool Rooms...

    Fatboy, great post! I agree that there is that side to pool. Pool is still one of the few ways you can seriously whip some a$$(or have yours whipped) without getting physically hurt. . .days of no sleep not withstanding. I think there is history and value in that. I like beating a guy out of...

    Why no location shown??

    I don't post my name unless we are meeting or doing business. I think that is ok. I have a unique username and can be found most places by that name online. I do not change it as it is my online identity. I won't post my address publicly, but if you are ever in Utsunomiya, Japan or wherever my...

    Things people don't like about Pool Halls

    Room owners who are not working to keep their room full. If $6 hr doesn't fill the room m-r, try $3 hr! Your losing more money with an empty room than you are with it full. I thought this was business 101, but not in central OH! Don't put tables close to the wall, poles, etc. Nothing worse...

    F.S. - Player cue

    Are the points spliced?

    From Willie Joseph Mosconi himself:

    I think he suggested this for 2 reasons. First, I think it has a big impact on how a cue hits. 2nd, it feels good to hold the weight of the cue in the back hand and have less weight on the bridge, but then breaking feels better with more weight on the bridge hand. This is all feel, so we don't...

    From Willie Joseph Mosconi himself:

    I love this book. I too shoot as much like this as I can. This gives me tthe smoothest stroke. At the end though, when I am in dead stroke, my tip does come to a sofft touch to the table. . .maybe I have more to learn!! I have just found that not touching the table or close results in less...

    Joint Protector

    They protectt the edge of the shaft collar. IMO, that is the primary purpose on both ends. That edge must be sharp for good fit when screwed together.

    Rogue cue technician

    There will always be a new cheap tip guy. You generally get what you pay for. The experienced tip guy can put a tip on and know it will stay. He has experience. He can also help you sort out the 500 medium tips. . .again, he has experience. The old guy won't ding your shaft or scratch your...

    OLD THREAD: I'm sick of playing pool... :(

    Thanks Jay. Your post was much betteer than mine. I just want to say you might read Willie's game. Unfortunately, something will absorb our lives like pool did Willie's. I hope my life is aborbed with family, fun and work to keep the first too going. I probably won't be a champion at...

    Jump Cues,Two Way Shots, and Luck

    You do an excellent job describing the 2 way shot. I play these shots quite a bit in 8 ball. I find the hard 2 way shot which will give you a chance to win, but doesn't give up much of a losing chance is a great shot in 8 ball. These often leave opponents mystified as to how they lost! They...

    What cue material don't you like????

    Ferrules over 1" Curly Maple Large Bumpers Butt Caps over 30mm Full length SS joints with 1 silver ring Complicated joint rings which won't match up over the life of the cue Snakewood looks nice, but means less to me than most and not worth the risks. Production LD shafts on a custom cue not...
