    Question on how I handled this...

    Not to mention, that I'm an old fart who is also getting up at 4 am. Though I would have loved to have seen it go down, I find myself wondering if I could have stayed awake. LOL. Our team was stressed anyway due to some internal drama.

    Question on how I handled this...

    No bad rep. He walked over to the table and offered a handshake. The guy says "I'm racking"

    Etiquette Anyone?

    'Tis a foul. I've not seen this permitted anywhere. League or tournament.

    Question on how I handled this...

    NBS8, You already know my opinion. If there was a dick involved here it was him. Last session, I played against him and beat him. He didn't like it all that well and he's hassled me ever since. Since he won against me this past Tuesday night, he'll probably quiet down on me but I will say...

    Simple situation and you must not dog it. How do you usually play it?

    I'd have to agree with Neil on this one. Option D for me as well.

    You have 1 hour in the pool room?

    If all I have is an hour, I'll set up a few long straight in shots to get my stroke out a little, then settle into a few racks of 6 Pocket as well.

    What are R.A.M. shots?

    I thought a lot of your curiosity had been allayed a while back when you were PM'ing another member on here the first time you brought up the idea about writing a bar player 8 ball guide. I believe you PM'd him first about the whole mess and he told you straight up what he thought and answered...

    Ultra Skin Tips

    I just had an Ultraskin hard installed and was able to use it for a few minutes before league started. Played with it during league and I'll attest that it changed me from a Talisman fan to an Ultraskin fan.

    Cue Xrays?

    Adams has or had a license from the Balabushka family to produce cues exactly in the models and ways that George would have made them. The x ray reveals that there is a weight bolt in the forearm of the cue which gives it the forward weight.

    Cue Xrays?

    I've seen an x ray of an Adams copy of a Bushka. It was taken not so much pertaining to overall construction of how or what method George used in making his cues. It was more about how he actually made them forward weighted.

    How do you deal with undesirable people?

    Same thing happens to me. I can usually get maybe 20 minutes in if I hurry before I start getting pestered. I only have time to do it on one weekend day and certainly can't do it on league night. They don't approach me to gamble, they just want to play. Short of hanging "Do Not Disturb" signs...

    The wife said she wants to learn how to play pool

    For any of you that can get your better (or in some cases, best) halves to want to learn or join you, you're very fortunate. I can't get mine interested at all. Mine wanted a pink cue, so I found her one with the hopes that it might encourage her to join me in league or just practice and play...

    I love it because their is nothing like the feeling of feeling your blood pressure rise from frustration for screwing up a run out

    Storing your cues

    In my case standing upright in a closet unless I am headed out to play or headed back home from a room. In that case they are horizontal in the case in back seat of car. Only for just the transit periods of @ half hour or so.
