Or you could just wait around awhile, I'm sure he'll be back in one guise or another.

I have a 1920's Brunswick snooker table with leather pocket rims and crocheted drop pockets. The leather that goes around the irons is nice and thick, then turns into thin flanges at the bottom where the knit part is sewed into them. When I hit a ball at a fairly good speed and it goes...

Might just as well try to stop the tracks from balls following the rails or coming out of the pack.

I'm not sure that admitting something to yourself (and the universe, too) is going to solve anything. I've had a similar situation happen to me a couple of times over the past couple of months. I'm playing someone who I know will most likely beat me if I make any mistakes. I'll play great...

I play with a Dale Perry cocobola and turquoise and OB-1 shaft. My break cue is a Lucasi J/B and backup player is a Schmelke butt with a Sharpshooter shaft.

They must be spending all their profits on that awesome web site...

I changed my grip a few months ago now from using my full hand to using just my thumb and fore/middle fingers. I curl my lazy and little fingers up above the cue. My thumb usually only contacts the cue on the end above the knuckle. The reason I did this was because on long, hard shots, I felt I...

If you'll notice, the legs are the same dimensions from the top to the bottom. They also have white rectangular inlays on each side of the legs and on the skirts like in this picture: http://www.billiardrestoration.com/Tables/madison.htm It looks nothing like the Wellington shown here...

Looks like my Brunswick Madison snooker table before I refinished it, minus a couple of legs. Quite a turnout! Definitely before TV and Barcaloungers!

What happened to Liu there? Did he just fall apart? Surely he didn't get to the quarter finals playing like that!

Wow, you're right. I had completely forgotten about the climatic consequences following a meteor/comet global calamity.

Scott, if you were giving lessons to Mini-me (Verne Troyer), would you have him shoot with a shorter cue? If he was short-stroking the ball, would you teach him to drop his elbow to get more stroke on the ball? If he couldn't reach the table, would you have him stand on a box, use a periscope...

I would think he'd be willing to stick around for the progeny from your matings with the DCCs. (That's assuming that your prowess with the saved Balabushka would be great enough to make them want you to fertilize their eggs. Of course, given that you are the only heterosexual male left to...

Hmmm. A dream, heh? Sure that isn't what happened with Pat? How's the job hunting or did you give it up for a life on the road?

How did you handle fouls? Was it BIH or did you play from the resulting position (given it wasn't a scratch off the table)? Also, were safety points cummulative or did you lose one if you used it? In your scenario, when player 1 makes the 1, does he still have one safety point so only needs...

It's perfectly clear. The Players cues' shafts have a Meucci shaft on them and a Cuetec shaft has an SST fiberglass shaft on them. Oh, wait, I think I got that wrong. The SST has a Meucci shaft, the Players shaft has a Cuetec... Never mind.

I've been kicking an idea around in my head for the past couple of weeks. Given that I've been playing pool for a long time and that when I started playing, most people never played an intentional safety, it's only recently (last couple of years) that I've even thought about safety play. I...

If he pushed through and hit any ball except the cue ball with his cue, then I would question his ethics. However, it seems like he had to foul no matter what he did, so to me this would be kind of like trying to tie up a couple of balls while taking the intentional foul. Could be a smart move...

What about the hot chick DCP has been managing to string along for 2 months with no action? He's got to be a Sylvester Stallone or Robert Redford, no?

the sst was grounded due to malfunction and potential loss of life can there be a reason noone knows what it could be but cuetic is the stuff dreams are in the pudding thanks
