You are correct sir. I could entertain the idea. Single young guy with living room space to spare....... a nice 7ft Diamond, maybe even an 8ft Diamond (there is a sizeable tournament locally that runs 8fts) and I might just invite some over. Probably not everyone.... haha.

This I can definitely get behind the positives of it. No waiting, no playing strangers that you'd rather not play, much better equipment, atmosphere as quiet or as loud as you want it with whatever music you like. That might tend to mess with my psyche sometimes, if I ventured out away from that...

Your stove analogy is on point, I suppose that if going out to eat was the ONLY thing that gets me out of the house socially, that I'd turn away from getting a stove if I didn't have one. Trust me, if most houses came with a pool table like they do stoves, I don't think I'd go out of my way to...

It might seem crazy, but here's my theory on why I don't want to have a pool table in my own home, even though one will fit. Pool is my social outlet. If I had one I wouldn't get out to play, and I don't think I would go on trips to play pool as much. Pool gets me out of the house, when most...

I check my emails for work when I'm playing. That being said, I'm always doing a double look while I'm doing this, being sure to have attention on the game and my opponent. Sometimes I just can't help it. Also sometimes I'll be picking music on the jukebox. Caveat - I don't do this in league...

Good ideas all around. The beginning of this project is now. Title of the book will be "Legends in the Shadows"

Thanks guys. Much appreciated to everyone who pitched in. I'm writing it!! Will take some time of course but I'm ready. First copies besides my folks, go to Jay and dnixon.

I'll ask Jay about it, honestly not expecting to make any money on it. Just want to get my story (or some of it) out there. It may not be an exciting read, or it may be great for some. To me, getting it out of my mind and onto paper would help me relive those moments.

I was just thinking about trying out writing for a little bit. The stories, although maybe boring, would be true. With plenty of detail and background, and colorful characters. Some names changed, others (maybe?) would remain the same? Obviously wouldn't publish anything until legal...

Moon later claimed that he was never formally invited to join the Who permanently; when Ringo Starr asked how he had joined the band, he said he had "just been filling in for the last fifteen years." ---- Friggin'..... Savage.:cool::cool:

I use a players, it has chips in the joint from.....I'm guessing breaking hard?

One pocket ran 8 and out twice (not consecutive, in my life) Nine Ball - 4 pack on a 9ft diamond that was from I think the 2010 Derby 10 Ball - Not more than 2 pack Straight Pool - 37 balls, done it a couple times and think that's my highest Snooker - don't play 3 Cushion - don't play Bar Table...

I've been playing semi-regularly, for about 4-6 hours at a time once a week ( I know it isn't enough) ** I've been focusing on taking it more serious, getting out, not taking shots for granted, and giving every shot the respect it deserves. Speed of the cue ball and control. Makes for more...

Great story, thanks for sharing!

I learned that I get a lot farther in tournaments when I play every shot as if my longevity in the tournament was at stake. In reality, it is. Every shot counts, every positional leave. Watching the pros play, I notice more and more how they play their beginning matches the same way they play...

I had a not so bad couple outs in this tournament. This landed me an 8th place finish. I was a six handicap and the other guy was a three. And he was on the hill. I played semi strong. I’m happy with my turnout, with 53 players. 20 of them could have won it. https://youtu.be/jxlI6B2E1RQ

Being a left hander - I like leaning over the 6/CB and going one rail to the left side, playing to just miss that cluster and go the second rail, aiming to hit the 1 but also being fortunate to hit the 9. I'll take the foul and force the opp to run out, at least better than the easy 1/9

Well then let's just say that this cue ball throwin', liquid courage guy, was a not so good dude. That makes mr. cue stick smacker a hero. There, we settled it.

The shortest answer I can come up with is, yes. To the right player, they play better. There's a certain hit that's gathered from every piece out there, but only the player can identify what they are after. After decades of playing, picking up on a "how it hits" is relative to every...
