Those have to be some of the most #$%^ up rules for 8 ball I have ever seen - didn't read them all, but some highlights.... If you make just the 8 ball and nothing else on the break you win...but if you sink another ball with the 8, then the 8 is spotted. If you hit your opponents ball...

First off - for the record I think Earl is a clown, always has been, always will be. That being said, everyone knows how he is going to act. He didn't say anything while Shane was shooting. You don't get to this level of playing by being sharked by a clown muttering to himself or playing the...

I do not know how the rule is worded exactly - but I'm willing to bet it reads 'you have to hit your object ball first' this would mean an exact dual hit should be legal, if it says 'you cannot hit another ball first' then it would be illegal - sounds like random nitpicking...but there's a...

While I appreciate the art aspect.....that made me die a little inside. Glad you 'saved' it :D Love the 'feathers'

Not an instructor but..... Had the same problems when I lost some weight a few years ago. First off, congrats on the weight loss. My problem stemmed from the fact that before my weight loss, I rested the cue against the side of my body, and that was straight when I was 'rounder' After I lost...

I can see if you are playing some bangers in a bar you don't know...then a safety is most often considered a b**ch move. I don't agree, but meh. I actually like playing by standard 'bar' rules with scratch being behind the head string - if your balls are there too.... you would be surprised how...

IMO 'entertainment' is what happens when someone is not shooting at the table. Between racks, during player transitions, during breaks etc is the time to talk, woof, or insult someone's mama. Sharking is what happens when you do any of those things while your opponent is shooting, in a direct...

That's a good laugh. But funny story aside....what is it going to sell for?

I see something like this: For the people that want as much pool as possible you give them both weekends for $60 (depending on your cost analysis) For the people that want to wait to see who wins the first match: $35 for the first weekend. If your player wins, because you signed up for the...

Currently loading the first couple pages very slowly (10 sec +) then it seems to speed up cause all the banners got pulled. Currently pinging Chicago on that link.

I'm apologizing ahead of time for slightly hijacking this thread. So I have a regular search on Ebay that looks for used cues and I noticed that the ever present mega seller ASKA is now selling McDermott cues that are 'used once' presumably so they can list them and bother the people that only...

In my experience, nothing can replace the experience of playing with a cue/shaft/joint/etc... I started out with a Pechauer, and a couple years later added a Predator 314 shaft just to try one out. Did it play better than my original shaft? yes Did the increase in playability offset the cost...

Either my magic eraser or my Just-a-bridge.

Ok...if you think THAT is a good deal - look at this one: It seems Tiger cues have gone collector

The rule is intended to stop the 'two-way shot' in which you usually try a low percentage shot secure in the knowledge that if you miss, your opponent won't have a shot at the same ball. It had turned into a love/hate thing - mostly hate :)

Do you know what it was originally designed for? I'm trying to come up with something that bulky that would be light enough to carry with the side handle like a suitcase......and all I can come up with is a drum (or some sort of compact nuclear device)

I think there are 2 aspects of this question - and that's from the pool player/fanatic perspective, and then the casual fan's perspective. Pool players want to see strategy matches with call pocket/safe because they realize the levels of skill required to do some of the things that happen. We...

I've had this around for years :)

I think that is the crux of the disagreement here, and it boils down to facts vs. opinions. If you come here and state the facts: "I sent the cue in this condition (picture) and got it back in this condition (picture)" then accurate and informed opinions can be shared, When you make statements...

That's what happens when you let your computer bake your testicles like that for a long period of time :)
