    Hurricane

    I've been here 30 years and haven't ever lost a thing to a hurricane. I've lost more in ice/snow storms up north. There are challenges everywhere. You pays your nickel, you takes your chances.

    Ha! I'm guessing Bob's kids will be successful tradesmen like their dad. The Harvard/Yale kids will likely be a drain on society. 😁

    Hurricane

    He might've been better off going south, rather than north. My sister got from Venice to Ft Lauderdale. Took 6 hours for what's normally under 3 hours, but almost no chance of any kind of significant impact... I still have family in Bradenton. They're not right on the coast, but it's gonna...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "bad pulling", but see my post above. If you have any specific questions, I'll try to answer, but how a tip plays is pretty subjective. Bottom line, I was pretty impressed.

    Why do tables play different?

    All of the above, but a silly question. Are we sure that the cloth is identical? 860 vs 860 HR would make a big difference...

    Politics in a billiards forum?

    That's what NPR is for.

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    I finally put the hard tip on my old car trunk Meucci. It plays pretty damn well! It hits softer than I would've expected all things considered. I don't know that I see extreme amounts of spin that has been reported by others, but it's completely satisfactory compared to a normal premium...

    What case makers make cases with soft dividers and not plastic tubes?

    Cheap JB knockoff. Put me in the camp of JB being an absolute whack job, but he makes a great case. I'm glad that I got mine before I learned what a mess he was, or I probably wouldn't have given him my business, and I likely would have had a lower quality case as a result.

    Meucci classic shaft "action".

    Yep. Thanks for finding that, or I wouldn't have ever seen it. 👍

    TO ALL IN HELENE'S PATH .......BE SAFE

    All good here in central Florida. A bit of wind and rain but nothing significant. Flooding on the barrier islands over on the coast in the Bradenton/Sarasota area where my family is but really nothing even a little inland. Fortunately a non-event for us. Others weren't so lucky. A lot of...

    Jump Question

    Did you play basketball as a kid? Remember when you wanted to be "cool" and simply popped the basketball with your hand as it lay in the ground so that it would jump up and you could start to dribble? A jump works exactly the same way. Pop straight down through the ball to hit it into the...

    Wood ID

    That's what the grain looked like to me too. A little strange in a butt though.

    What would you have done?

    How good/experienced was the other player? If we're talking a 550 with a lot of league/tournament experience I don't even blink at calling it and moving on, But if he was that level of player he probably would've picked up the cue ball and handed it to you disgusted with himself. A low 400's...

    TO ALL IN HELENE'S PATH .......BE SAFE

    The panhandle looks like it could be a problem. Here in Central FL we'll get some wind and rain but nothing worse than we see in our daily summer afternoon thunderstorms... No fishing for me tomorrow though. Dammit! On a funny note though, a member of my pool team is Helene. We'll have a...
