Do you have any scoring strings for sale? I would also be interested in pics and prices on your cue racks.

Thanks to all for the high-quality replies, links and suggestions! There's enough material here to keep us busy for quite awhile. :thumbup: Thanks again!!!

What do I need to do...or is it too late?

My daughter is home from college for the summer and we have been playing some pool. Her main problem is her poor aiming. I was hoping that with some more table time and some help from me she would get it figured out. Last night, I finally tested her to see what her dominant eye is and found...

I am certainly not a lighting engineer, buy my guess would be that the hardest parts of the table to light would be just inside the cushions on the long axis. FWIW, your plywood model may not adequately take into account the cushion's masking effect from a supplemental light source that is low...

It is called a spoonerism. You mentioned that your garden had "gone wild" while you were on vacation, but using your DIY ball washer to store the green bean harvest is going too far! Makes for an artsy avatar, though.

and a 3rd idea... call Greg at Billiardwarehouse.com and see what he can come up with.

Here are a couple of ideas... 1) Buy the Diamond light and have your wife cover the sides of the box with fabric that reiterates some of the design details of your remodel. 2) Buy a light that she likes and add supplemental lighting (you won't need much) to get rid of the shadows.

And I thought this post was safely behind me! It was a turkey when I first posted it last Thanksgiving. Why anyone would want to dust this one off and make us go through all of this again is beyond me. :confused: The original 11/2008 context this post was that ESPN2 kept feeding me a steady...

On their website they seem to indicate that table size is a factor, but I couldn't find the actual formula. No other handicapping method is as fair as the Level Play™ Handicapping System. This purely numeric system, which only uses scores from 6 POCKET sanctioned events, tournaments, and...

Too bad it's not the same weekend as the Four Corners "motorcycle rally". "Don't go down to Toby's Jug, they'll rape your cue and steal your girl."

example of a sucker's game... 8 ball You break. If you make one, I take all of your balls off except (1). You shoot 'til you either win or miss. Continue play as normal... -- in this game a decent player can "give up" all that weight and will still be able to beat an average player almost...

Of course, picking a spot that favors you is not always as easy as it would seem. My advice is that if you are looking for a way to make the odds as even as can be (in other words either side is not trying to hustle the other) then play short sets (say to 5) and make adjustments automatically...

Player A spots Player B: Last 2 - any of the last 2 balls on the table wins for Player B 5 ball - just what it says, make either the 5 or the 9 and Player B wins 5 and out - any ball from the 5 on up to the 9 (5,6,7,8 or 9) is a winner the only condition that might be imposed on the above...

My apologies for the lame title. Posts seem to live or die by their titles. Unfortunately, they don't let us edit our titles after posting.

JR and I played your "new game" last night. You keep saying, "I can't wait until you really get into it". Well, we really got into it! The game is like 3-D chess for pool. We now call the game Einstein Nine. Have a great trip!

My buddy JR came over the other night to play some pool. I snapped this pic and then Photoshopped it into some wallpaper for him. Just killing some time waiting for it to get dark so I can play some...

re: pepper I'll try that...sounds interesting!

Thanks everyone! I went ahead and ordered one like Brian's. FWIW, I called with a few questions that I had and then ordered by the phone # on his ebay site -- always nice to get some questions answered in person! Cuebuddy, I like your cover but the website didn't have as much info on the cover...
