Members should be thrilled to have you and your participation on the site. Lots of former players and some instructors advertise their services on this site by posting but most make several contributing posts as well. In my opinion the forum is better with participation of former and current...

This reminds me of the not shaking hands after a match thread because people are afraid of germs. Magic erasers work really well and the grain will go back to normal after a couple plays or a good rubbing with a dry towel. As long as you're starting with a quality shaft there shouldn't be a...

There are a ton of top tier tourny players that can't bet water is wet. Some guys can play the short sets for the dough and some can't. There are also a ton of guys that can gamble top speed but can't show any speed in a tourny. Bartram is a great example of a guy that doesn't play well in...

I will take CJ's side in this. The real players love tight pockets because they feel that it truly distinguishes an A player from a true professional. I've watched shortstops take an easy ghost game on a tight pocket table and get robbed. 4 or 4.25 pockets on a nice playing 9 footer is a real...

Half of them would cut the other half up. And half of them would double dump the others. 1 player never is the only one getting paid in pool. ;) Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Well at least he switched from hypothetical to made up matches. At least he's trying. Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

What? How could you do this to me? I thought we were friends. By the stories that obviously involve real life situations and a 9 ball and one pocket champion this is obviously pool related. Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Now this is important 8 ball strategy. And why would you talk to your friend that way? Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Do you warn him? Call a foul on yourself? What if Earl Strickland does it? Or maybe Hippie Jimmy? Does that make it okay? What if you accidentally shart yourself during the dusting? Do you keep shooting? If you missed do you excuse yourself? Does your opponent have to wait on you to...

Jesus please quit with the dumbass questions. If I robbed a bank and didn't get any money should I go to jail? If I fart and it doesn't stink should I tell someone I farted? When will it end? Either you really like attention or someone should have to remind you to breathe. Sent from my...

Hitch fell off a little bit in his last few years but still could have taken on just about anybody shooting below pro caliber. He had a shark move where if he was losing a set...he would go put his glasses on. The thing was...his glasses didn't have any lenses. And sure enough he would catch...

Look closer and see which balls specifically aren't freezing. Change the location that you are putting those balls in. There is some variance on the size of balls throughout a lot of sets and they may not fit together well. I'll hold the outside of the rack tight and roll it back and forth to...

Living only a couple of hours away from their shop I come across them pretty often. I've owned a few Prathers and still own one. They are well made and I think they play well. I don't always like their designs because my taste is a little more traditional. But they are made with the best...

Its a noble idea but I don't agree that golf rules are the same everywhere. From my experience they vary a great deal just in between pool halls across town. I've seen probably a dozen variants of golf rules. Some with subtle differences, some that vary a great deal. As for your view on 9...

In my experience, regardless of the system they simply don't go high or low enough. Most systems top out at about a good B player like the APA, TAP or USAPL. Players that speed will hit the maximum handicap and not really stand a chance against a true A player. And even the A,B,C system...

One bar I used to play at had old Dynamo 3x6 bar boxes. There wasn't a divider between the side pockets on the ball return system. So if you hit it in one side pocket hard enough with the correct spin, the ball would go in the pocket and through the ball return and shoot up on the other side...

I made 7 balls on the break on a Valley bar box one time but I was hooked behind the 9 and couldn't see the three and had to push. Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

I hit balls with Max for a bit when he was warming up in Frisco last year. He taught me a ton in just about 20 minutes of table time. Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk
