    Measle ball, i HATE it

    I like the measle ball. Getting the visual feedback is a feature that I see a lot of people overlook. With a solid white cue ball you have to really focus on how it behaves off the rail to get an idea of the spin. With the measle cue ball just look at the dots. It is good information to get back.

    Meaning of "trolling" on this forum?

    Trolling is making a post on the main forum that has nothing to do with pool

    The best break cue

    Why buy a cue based on votes? You would do better getting some ideas and seeing if you can try those cues. My vote goes to Mezz Power Break II :thumbup:

    Play The Table Not The Player...NOT

    I think that saying is more of a general rule of thumb. I believe the idea is that you focus on the shot at hand rather than what your opponent might do. I mean if you are thinking to yourself "if I miss he is going to get out because he is an A player" you are putting pressure on yourself...

    Younger Pros Playing Opposite-Handed

    My opinion is that unless you shoot lights out with your primary hand you shouldnt shoot with your opposite hand. We all strive to be the best player we can and if you practice with your off hand you are selling yourself short. Use the bridge. It was made for that exact scenario

    Moderators Please Change your Rules in the F/S Wanted Section

    Let me get this straight. You offered a case for $200. Two people accepted your price. You then decide to charge more. A man is only as good as his word. If your asking price was $200 that is your word and even if you later find out it should be more that is still what you were asking to be...

    New cue - Mezz, Predator, or OB?

    I have owned a Predator and a Mezz. I think the OB line is made by Joss (or it was at some point at least). I would say out of those 3 the Mezz brand is the highest quality. It is really close though. The money you spend on a Mezz will be a lot more than how much you would pay for a Joss and the...

    How will you defend SVB this time?

    I might be a little confused, didn't SVB just take down the US Open for the second time in 2 years?!? What is the point of this topic? He isn't elite because he lost 8-3? Sorry to break the news but he is human.

    Magic rack

    If both players are ok with using it then use it. They do not damage the table. Tell people not involved with your game to mind there own business

    What is the best way to play a safety in this scenario?

    My opinion is you don't. The chance you pull a safe *AND* your opponent misses the bank is a lower percent than shooting to make the shot.

    Slow Death of pool

    It basically already is. I can't speak for all parts of the country but around here we have just a few pool halls. The only other option is playing at a bar and you have to be 21 to get in.

    Slow Death of pool

    Impossible? No Unlikely? Yes At the end of the day kids will be kids and what school is going to spend budget on this?

    Slow Death of pool

    Private clubs is a terrible idea. The idea is to make pool more accessible, not less. If it were private people would need to complete a application and pay membership fees in order to play. Not good. How did poker blow up in the last 10-15 years? My opinion is Chris Money Maker was a big part...

    How do you deal with players that wont try

    Tell them that as captain that your expectation is they put some effort forth and if they are not willing to do that they should look for another team to play on.
