    Ivory on Pin

    I totally agree that synthetics such as Tomahawk are better and less expensive and more ethical to use. My first ever "real" job was in conservation, so believe it or not, we are on the same page. I just bristle at the assumption that if someone has something made out of animal that there is...

    Elephants do eventually die from causes other than poachers, don't they?

    FR57 by Triple Sixty

    Ordered one from Seyberts on Thursday and rcvd it on Friday with free shipping. Used it today for about 2.5 hours. First impression is I really like it. Super solid hit w/out the REVO "tink" sound (although that doesn't bother me). Very low deflection w/out so much cueball swerve that causes...

    World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

    My overpriced 2 cents....Little Ko played really well and got NO rolls. Biado played great too. Little Kaci has a pure stroke. Regalado (heck, all the young filipinos) is going to be a monster. Fedor is superhuman with a jump stick. I can't see anybody beating Fedor tomorrow

    You'd be perfectly safe, unless you called him Francesca to his face.;)

    Man, he must have been a total monster in the 70s.

    Toasty to become citizen

    When I went to Parris Island for my older son's graduation, I thought I would get choked up and start bawling during that ceremony. But what brought me to tears was the day before when 6 cadets were sworn in as citizens. That was a very moving experience.

    Commentators talking about anything but the match in front of them

    The absolute worst are one pocket matches. Nobody ever knows what the ball count is. Also, straight pool matches, where nobody knows who is on a foul or even 2 fouls

    Chezka Centeno

    I don't think she has to learn all the conceptualization skills, just the ones she struggles with. It's not like she doesn't know anything. I can't imagine that playing 40 or 50 racks a day, with Efren telling you what shot to shoot, what pattern to play, and WHY, wouldn't be transformational...

    Chezka Centeno

    I too, am a fan. Does she have a mentor / coach? Seems to me if she spent a month with Efren, she would be just about unbeatable.

    How to clean wood shaft after every use?

    If the shaft is really dirty, you can take a small piece of magic eraser, soak in alcohol, squeeze out the excess, and clean the shaft. You do need to burnish slightly after. If you use Taom V10 chalk, you don't hardly ever need to clean your shaft

    Open Source Pool - The Hidden Dance of Stroke and Aim

    This is very interesting to me. I have vision issues that require a very strong prism in my glasses lenses to keep me from seeing double. Some of the things that Oliver described are exactly what I deal with. I can line up a perfectly straight-in shot, and when I get down over it, it does not...

    New 'dope' for Predator junkies...... the 'Centro'

    I have had a C8 for a few years. It's 12.9, which was the only diameter made as far as I have ever seen. All the Centros I have seen online are 12.4. The construction is certainly the same. Don't know about the taper. C8 has a very stiff taper, which I have altered slightly on mine.

    About Grady Mathews

    AND, he was hilarious. After getting married for the 4th time, "If this one doesn't work out, then every 5 years I'm just going to find a woman I hate and buy her a house."
