    How Well Do You Know "The Color of Money?"

    I'm still trying to figure out what is in a Drambuie and Potato Salad! I know what Drambuie is, but what the heck is the reference to potato salad?

    I like that the lady with the shirt looks like she's selling baked goods at a church bake sale.

    GET the New Predator Cues before they're released... December Giveaways!!!

    Yup, I knew that was what was posted, but my concern was that they would create a list of "gold members" and it would miss those in transition. I had no clue that I had to change my membership settings to appear as a Gold member. I appreciate your posting that information. Thank you.

    GET the New Predator Cues before they're released... December Giveaways!!!

    I hope that those of us who recently became Gold are included in this drawing. I just became a Gold member again but am listed as Silver/Gold but technically am really a Silver still. My name is still grey in the list instead of blue, my status on my page says silver, etc. I noticed that...

    My one pocket match pic

    Key point here is you're "taking a foul". If I were your opponent I wouldn't do anything, I am ahead of you on fouls, I would pretend tap the cue ball and call foul. Now the real question is, what the heck would you do?

    Teaching a Newbie to stay down

    I honestly had that same issue (and still rarely do), until I read the "Pleasures of Small Motions" or whatever that book is. At that point, I stopped jumping up and wondering about that shot and started staying down to enjoy the shot I imagined in my mind play out in real life. Hence, I...

    Rock and a hard place...

    I sure hope you don't take this as an insult, but when I end up in a situation like this I just let it ride because ultimately, I blame myself for letting a player that is ranked much lower to even get a shot on the 8 ball. I'm sure it was a great safe on your part and was a very low percentage...

    ID cue= door prize

    Haha, nice one! I knew it was lower end but also knew it from your confirmation when people were guessing lower end production cues. I just went on Ozone and looked in the $0-$100 cues section for a brand name nobody had mentioned. I should of kept looking!

    My Top 3 AZ'ers

    I almost think it would be easier to list a top 3 per section. I have people in "Ask the Mechanic" section top 3, people in "Ask the Cuemaker" top 3, "Ask the Instructor", etc... It is too hard to vote just top 3 overall, it just seems unfair. I do want to give an honorable mention to...

    Turning down a butt

    Scott, considering a refinish is a bargain at $150, having cutting done with a full rewrap and refinish for 200 is reasonable. If the cue isn't worth a lot it makes a lot of sense to keep it in the stable, sell it, trade it, whatever... and get a cue that has a smaller butt diameter. It all...

    It is okay to post a PM (private message) on the Open Forum?

    I would respond in the public thread that they created that I thought it was classless and out of line for them to bring a private message to the public forums and ask them to respond to me via PM, as I refuse to continue to comment in public forums regarding something that I obviously wished to...

    A POLL on number of ball sets you now OWN

    4 sets: Centennials that I use daily. Aramith TV Set that I bought to try. Disco set, the ones that light up when they are hit (before I suggested to my girlfriend that she subtly ask about what would be cool to have as pool accessories before she just bought something). A super cheap set that...

    Warp/Wobble Effect

    Unless it warps in the opposite direction of where you were going to be off, in which case it actually would correct your stroke! The problem with a warped shaft is the inconsistency. Just mark the high point with a Sharpie and have the mark showing when you want follow and aim for center...

    APA Rules Expert Needed

    Awesome! Makes me want to use a house cue, stand beside the table, and swing the butt end of the cue at the cue ball like a baseball bat for my break shot. Perfectly APA legal!

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    I was thinking the guy saw the woman come up with the orange vest, thought it was a cop, and took off in a panic. I guess I have a guilty conscience.

    <<< [ HOW TO ] build a Cue ? What kind of TOOLS do I NEED ? >>>>

    You may want to try the "Ask a Cuemaker" section first. You don't necessarily need a CNC lathe setup, there are starter benchtop cue making lathe setups. Head to the Ask a Cuemaker section to see what I am talking about.

    "Call Everything" Rules

    I think in some cases they do it because of ego. They feel that not calling the shots means that the game is too easy. Real men don't play slop rules, blah blah blah. They get so bad sometimes that I've even had someone try to say my shot wasn't good because I didn't call that the object...
