just like with Fargo, most of the complaints about APA come from people that are misinformed. KMRUNOUT

Yes, I am. Errr um I mean, he is. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Pete, I can suggest a great tip guy near you ;-). Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Tom McGonagle would be the man to speak to. He’s on Facebook. I have his cell, but I wouldn’t give that out without talking to him first. My inbox is probably full on here, so feel free to message me on Facebook. I’m Kerry McAuliffe. You could alternatively speak to Ray MacNamara, the pool...

There’s a little crew of us that hang out at Turning Stone. Sean is one of them. He’s hilarious. We’ve had some hilarious moments at the “Motif” bar. Great guy. KMRUNOUT <——just realizing I’m really sad I’m not going this January :-( Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

A couple of things: 1) The Break Rak device is amazing. The purpose is to practice striking the rack well. You can practice your power if you want, but it’s real value is in practicing your accuracy. Popping the front ball good is the aim. You can measure success for that type of break by...

120 grit is too coarse. 220 is a better choice. Most importantly, the surfaces need to be flat. I’ve used the Loctire Ultra gel control. It’s good. However even better is DAP a rapid Fuse. For all CA glue, throw it away after it’s been open for a week or 2. If you’re doing tips...

Gotcha. Understood. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

You don’t think that altering the pivot point will feel like a different amount of deflection when aiming? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Actually, I’ve shot with Earl’s Gulyassy cue. I think the main cue was 64 inches, and it weighed about 17 oz or so. Not heavy at all. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I wish a standard would emerge. At this point, most pros seem fine with the measle cue ball. It plays very well. My vote would be for that one. The blue logo ball is decent, but feels quite different than the measle ball. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Um, I’ve been “paid” by the APA in their national tournament, as have 100’s of others. Even have a 1099 for it. So that doesn’t sound too right. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I definitely enjoyed Justin’s posts on the forum, and TAR was awesome. He added a lot to the game. I am friends on Facebook...I see some of his “new toy” posts haha. Seems like a cool guy. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

You couldn’t be more wrong. There is a glossary section to the APA book. It explicitly defines a “regular playing cue” as a cue “designed to shoot the majority of shots in a pool game.” So yeah, you’re totally wrong here. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Pretty sure Jorge Rodriguez is the house pro there. Good guy and strong player for sure. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Haha glad you get my humor. I've played APA for over 20 years. The rule on this has changed considerably over those years. Still clearly needs some work. KMRUNOUT

If you read the glossary, it is a distinction of *design*, not use. The cue is either designed for a specialty purpose, or it isn't. It is irrelevant whether you use it once, every shot, or never. If you intentionally put a rock hard tip on it, a tip that ISN'T on your playing cue, then it...

What you say makes some sense. The APA could really use some work on their rulebook. It is excessively vague in many areas, completely omits many important considerations, and isn't organized particularly well. That said, you can pretty much hinder your argument like so: 1) You can't use...

Not endless. But I’ll give you a clue: 2 decimal places. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums
