    Home players in Minneapolis area...

    I play in an M8 league one night a week (Thursday). I'm debating playing another night, but I thought I'd check to see if any interest from others in playing each other at home. I have a table at home. If enough interest and others have tables at home, we could set up a schedule...

    Need some ideas

    If you have any video editing software, it might be cool to shoot a regular break shot and then "superimpose" the blue ball in place of the cue ball......

    Finger Slides- Thank You

    Just received my Finger Slides yesterday in the mail and played a couple hours last night. Very comfortable fit. The material seems to be thicker / sturdier than that used in other gloves I have used. I normally wear out the "palm" area of the glove, even those that have a (fake?) leather pad...

    Illusion of Winning

    That sounds like a great idea. Only problem is getting the education establishment to actually commit to it. I heard recently they are dropping the teaching of cursive hand writing as it's no longer needed. Amazing.....

    Pool/Billiard Math Guru's - I need some help.

    Possibly?? Could you setup the room such that breaking would be on the right end of the tables (towards the player seating / record keeping area) and argue that the only people affected would be other pool players who are aware of the risk?

    Shy but wants to play

    Ball in hand no shot Was hitting one of opponent's balls to a difficult position (blocked by another ball, touching or near another ball) an option? Still a ball in hand foul, but may have gotten you back to the table....

    Changing the Rules in the Middle of a Tourney..

    MY 2 cents.... First of all, as others have mentioned, absolutely AWESOME Live Stream of the event! I hope there are more to come. I think it may have been been better to just have the shot clock throughout the entire event. That way the players know it's in effect and can get used to...

    Unique Pool table games

    I play this fairly often. Another rule we use is if you scratch, one of each of the other players balls is spotted. So a person already out because no balls left can get back in the game on a scratch.

    Kanaka Custom Cues in MN at Doc's Cues

    ..... I was just in there yesterday. Keith showed me around the shop. My impression was you are going to get a VERY high quality cue for a great price. There were a couple finished (already sold) cues on display that were gorgeous. I'm pretty sure I have found the make of my next cue when I...

    Kick balls to the pocket....how often

    Kick aiming.... Edited to fix spacing.... Dunno if this will work.... Looks ok when editing.... I saw this somewhere.... Don't remember where, but I've tried it and it's a good starting point. "Measure" the distance from the point on the object ball where you need to hit it to make it go in...
