Primarily Willaby's in Swansea, but sometimes in Bristol or North Providence. Other than that, APA action around Fall River. Or in my basement. practicing. 5 am. tim

So, back to the beginning, what is not to like about the Jacoby ? Don't like the shaft ? Don't like the weight ? Don't like the balance ? Or, are there other issues (ones I didn't mention) such as butt circumference ? There is a difference between a cue you LIKE to shoot with and one that...

I can't say that I understand everything about this post, but here's something to think about. Cues are about three things: Weight, balance and deflection. Deflection is all about what you can get used to. Some play better with LD, some do not. Pick one and determine which type of shaft is...

C&C said they had a few left, but not many. Billiard Warehouse may have a few. I may have to fill out my adapter collection as these will be going by the wayside also. Too bad. I love the shafts. The issue for you is that you love the regular deflection shaft and that will not be made any...

Talked to the Cue & Case reps in Vegas. The USS shaft is discontinued. If you want one, you'd better get going, i.e. limited to current stock. However, the Lucasi Hybrid will be, if it hasn't already, be using the same shaft, albeit without the wood "joint" 4 inches from the real joint. Same...

My 9 ball team has its dues paid for by the bar we pay for. I've never seen a bar make anyone pay for table time. Pay for your own drinkies. However, playing with the nitwit (are you out there Chris????) we had on our team, getting free drinkies would have made it more palatable. tim

This morning, I contemplated the paradox described by this title. I can't remember the billionaire who used to match Lafit with Big Macs, but while I was playing at home with my Bluegrass, this crazy thought came to me. I have a maple plain jane BG and it simply hits divinely. That being the...

Mike is definitely going through a bad stretch of luck. Here's hoping it turns around for him soon. tim

FB, you always seem to add something of note. My skin crawls watching Fiejen. Great player, but its like being forced to watch Fats for twenty hours straight. I want to toss after five minutes. tim

BK, you make a good point, although flawed. The pockets on a Valley accept misses of at least a quarter inch, if not more, due to the short shelf and the angle of the corners. For reference, hit the 8 ball bible. Tell me I'm wrong. But I dont' think I am. tim

Having to do with tables, yes the Diamonds are a great table. But here's another idea. Why not call Barry Behrman and see if you could pick up one of the US Open tables ? He used to sell them each year after the event. Agreed, the mechanic is everything. If I had a GC, I'd fly E. Dominguez...

Maybe I'm nuts for pointing this out, but the biggest issue I had with the equipment was indeed the cueball, but for a different reason than you might all think. Did anyone notice that the weighted aramiths were literally beat the death ?? Half the time, whenever on the rail or out on the...

I discussed cue construction with the folks from jacoby and came away very impressed. Without going the LD route, I can't think of a better place to obtain a nice shaft. Very selective with the shaftwood used. tim

I don't feel bad as the team that beat us wound up in 3rd place. We were a simple 8 ball away from sudden death with me at the helm. I think a race to one against Catherine would have gone my way, but you never know. THe kid who missed had come up big in an earlier match, so no big deal. You...

There was a lot of good in the tourney and much bad. The volunteer refs were wonderful. Inconsistent at times, but very professional. The observers (all LO's) were just awful. They bumped each of our 3's to 4. Neither one can draw a ball an inch. All the time while we competed against a 2...

The real deal is that if these standards are established, there will be no argument over the rating system resulting from transactions. You either follow the practices, or you get a negative. No more, oh gee whiz, I can dance to it so I'll give it a seven.... tim

The best solution is to have the money for each bet go into the hands of a third party BEFORE each part of the match starts. tim

How the heck did SVB clip the first match at 5-0 and lose the second ? tim
