Looking at the old thread where Gerry converted half his garage to a room, I'm considering doing the same. My garage is quite big and I'm thinking of dividing it in half with a wall, using the other side for that "garage" stuff :) My greatest concern is how to get heating and cooling in there...

You're fortunate that you haven't seen "Disco Godfather" starring Rudy Ray Moore.

It should be good. Nilsson definitely knows what he's doing. Keep in mind it will be a low-budget production with a cast of non-professionals, which I think will fit quite well with the subject matter. Here's some more reviews from respected critics Scott Tobias and Amy Taubin...

Cool. Let us know how you like it. I'll be ordering a copy soon. Glad it's finally out on DVD. It didn't get to the screens until four years after completion and then took another few years to get on DVD. That said, I highly recommend his work. No doubt this film will be the antithesis of PH...

In the Poolhall Junkies thread, I talked briefly about this film. For those of you interested, here's a trailer: http://www.chalkfilm.org/ You can also buy the DVD via Paypal (Can't get this on Netflix or buy it at Best Buy). I haven't seen it, but Ebert gave it 3 stars and the other of...

Is he any good? In his IMDB profile, it states he's an "accomplished" pool player. As for the film, an entertaining piece of fluff. My criticism is that it failed to capture the atmosphere of pool that was so beautifully rendered in "The Hustler" and to some extent in "The Color of Money." It...

I second this.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, so I'm glad you brought it up. A quick question: How many game (not practice) hours do you play a week? My personal theory, which can really only speak for my game, is that the evolution to become a run out player happens in gradual stages. I'm sure...

Well, since getting back into the swing of the things a couple of months ago, I haven't engaged in too much competition, but when I played seriously, I have never felt bad or embarrassed. On the contrary. I get extreme ego gratification from completely dominating an inferior opponent. If we're...

I'm with the group who thinks that playing for stakes doesn't necessarily improve your "pressure" game, unless those stakes are actually meaningful, like rent and food money. I've played for money and like to, but personally, I would rather play well and lose than play badly and win. If I dog...

Great idea. If you plan on selling this, I also think it'd be convenient to include a number of "routine" shots with the program. Kind of like a high tech "99 Critical Shots in Pool" which we then could keep our progress of. You could even get together with an instructor or professional pool...

(Who's :) )I have an old sneaky I bought years ago that I can't identify. It's fairly common, since I've seen the logo on many house cues, which is an Elk or a Buck framed by a triangle. Anyone know?

Bump, as I too am I looking at the exact same cue. Any other opinions out there? Rusty, since this thread, have you had a chance to hit with one these McD's yet?

Is this purposeful for those type of cues so it allows for better control on faster cloth? Or is it simply a result of the construction? It would seem intuitive that a player (for 9 ball, 10 ball) would want a shaft that would produce more action in the event they need to move the cueball a few...

Hi Guys, As some of you may know, I'm looking for a new cue so I thought I'd ask your opinions since many here have hit with a lot of different cues Doing some research, I noticed a lot of players like a stiff hit/shorter taper for control and consistency. I've shot with nothing but gradual...

Or how about a custom Frey or Josey Sneaky? Forgot about that option.

A Schon is always a consideration. Does it really play that much better than the McD's, Mezz's, Vike's, etc? What would you say the differences are? I've never hit with one and haven't encountered any one who owns one.

Lol, that was exactly the cue I was looking at. Awesome look. Thanks for the feedback. BTW, what kind of tip are you using?

Thanks a mil. Beautiful cue. Just the style I like. Veneered points, classic design, and can't beat the price.

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your help in my past "recommend a cue" threads, but after some thought and a little bit of PokerStars fortune, I've decided to bump up my budget to around 350-450. Doing some searches, I've seen many recommendations for Mezz and their standard low-deflection shafts. I'm...
