    American Rotation Series III

    I'm looking to start an American Rotation Club here in Central Arkansas.....probably not this session, but next. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. I have a couple of rooms in mind, plus one that might be opening this summer. Nothing definite yet. Also, I just have myself and one...

    Am I nuts?

    Go with whatever is comfortable for YOU. If you're able to do everything you need to and have no miscue issues, then don't feel guilty about it. FWIW, I have a Ki-Tech Hard, and it makes a nice, lil "click" sound upon contact. I have no miscue issues and it's THE best tip I've ever used...

    Diamond product improvements

    Look at it this way, Diamond tables are so GOOD, this is the biggest complaint that the OP could come up with. I think that's pretty telling as to how nice Diamond products are. Truthfully, he doesn't have a bad idea/suggestion.

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    Aha. Which leads me to my point. Let's pretend that Corey, or whoever, has a specific break method for any random pattern of racked balls you put out there. Sounds crazy, as in 8B, you have 15 balls. But, maybe it's not that difficult. You immediately have "constants". The 8B always...

    Shannon's New Cue From Andy Gilbert

    I had the pleasure of cradling this cue in my hands at the 2012 Southern Classic in Tunica. It was hands-down the most beautiful cue I've ever seen. A complete work of art. I didn't get a chance to shoot with it and honestly, I don't have the cajones to ever ask Shannon to do so. I'm truly...

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    SVB does pattern rack and fiddles the 10B set-up to help himself out. That's been widely noted here. Nothing against that. He figured out how to make it work. I'm glad for him. As for cards, you don't think people manipulate the deck to gain an advantage? And what about card-counting...

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    I'm against the rule. Again, it's the player's break. If they rack it in a way that makes it easier for them, well that's the idea of the game, right? If SVB continues to roll thru the field as he has been, will people cry for him to shoot one-handed? There has to be godforsaken parity all...

    What kind of REAL career opportunities are there in the billiard industry.

    Well, my name is also "Justin" and I'm somewhat in the same spot you are. Somewhat. I find myself without a job right now. Moved to a new area for more opportunity, but haven't found anything yet. I'm 39, single, and with no kids. College educated, with a wide variety of job experience...

    Who is Mary Avina?? Trick Shots Videos

    It's supposed to be a voluptuous vampiress holding a cue in one hand.....and the fanged skull of a vampire in the other hand. You kinda have to read between the lines, but I'm a pool and horror fan, so it makes sense to me.

    Simonis 960

    Finally!!! Every barbox I've played on that had Simonis has been waaaaay too fast. I end up just gently bunting the ball around all night and I wonder what happened to actually stroking a ball. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to go back to the days of fuzzy, nap cloth that looks like...

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    If you rack for me, I have no problem with it. I will inspect the rack and break accordingly. It's why I bought "Joe Tucker's Racking Secrets". To learn and gain an advantage. I play in one league where it's "rack your own" and inspection is encouraged. I also play in a league where the...

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    You don't have to tell me much of anything about NASCAR. I graduated from a high performance engine building school that places people on Cup teams. We regularly discussed inner, technical goings-on of the sport. We also had access to recently obsolete Cup technology at any given time, as...

    I Was Wrong About SVB

    I wouldn't buy land to flip. I'd buy land to keep. Especially land with a water source and cheap property tax attached.

    High end Olhausen vs. High end Connelly

    I've never played on an Olhausen that I liked. You'll constantly hear the death rattle of the infamous "Olhausen Warbler". See all above about gaffy pocket cuts.

    Who is Mary Avina?? Trick Shots Videos

    I've eaten a kiwi. Didn't even know a "kiwi bird" existed. FWIW, I'm having a Volturi case made that hopefully depicts the idea that "pool players eat their own". Hopefully it turns out like I imagine in my mind. Thanks for the gif. I get it now.

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    I understand that what he's doing is somewhat illegal, by current rules. I don't feel it should be, but that's my opinion. However, it reminds me of NASCAR. Great teams/drivers are punished for improvement. If they figure out something that gives them an advantage over other teams, they are...
