Where did Gerry go? I remember him from the old Tiger Tour, I left for overseas for about 6 years and when I got back he was long gone...Loved watching him and Mike Davis tangle.

If you haven't already done so, check out "The Rack Pack"...it's very well acted and shows the rise and demise of Hurricane Higgins, portrays the rivalry with Steve Davis and Barry Hearn's vision when he took over the game...how he packaged it and the players to sell it to the public...

I've been using his milk duds exclusively for over 5 years now...awesome, nothing beats them and they're so inexpensive it's criminal. :thumbup:

I had them adjust my pockets to 4 3/8" on my 9 foot Pro-Am. Once I get dialed in on my table, I'm drilling them on a GC. Taught me to take a lot of pepper off my shots, I was getting away with shooting way too firm. I hate it when my opponent shoots a loose one into the rail more than a...

That's the problem with aiming threads. We perceive what we perceive the way we perceive them--and no one can convince us otherwise. I'm not talking about spin doing anything WRT throw. My description deals with squirt/deflection. The slight inside spin is negated at contact, it's so slight...

Absolutely true...but your ball line (OB to pocket) is initially to the far left or right edge of pocket opening, and the error/adjustment of the line has the whole pocket to go to...but a center ball alignment's error (assuming you're aiming center pocket) has only half a pocket to wiggle in...

I'm pretty sure Albin and his sister both had coaches when they were child phenoms in the European events...I seem to remember reading articles about them at the time. They were VERY young when they came on the scene. If he says he doesn't consciously use a system, I believe that, but I don't...

What cracks me up the most is the copyright AND registered trademark he puts on "superstroke"...I'm with you...there has GOT to be some crazy stories about this guy. I read both publications all the time and don't remember ever seeing an ad like this, pure genius! :p

Here's hoping they throw a few open tournaments from time to time...maybe a chips tourney or king of the hill series...I can't play league (work), don't gamble anymore and the open tournaments are a little scarce. This looks like a really nice place to hang out!

I'm 54...I am a much smarter player, and even a better shot maker than the 22 year old version of me. But that version was fearless, could run many more packs than the 54 year old, and could give the older me the 7. At 22, my brother and I played straight pool, 8 ball and 9 ball for 18 hours...

I've tried a couple of Revos, and I got to say I liked the hit; but the black shaft is really hard for me to see the stick line, and that's a BIG part of my alignment and overall game. I still prefer my Gulyassy shafts over them, especially for the money. Once they come in different joint...

They renovated all the tables...converted the red diamonds to blue and recovered everything. Anybody says there isn't action isn't looking very hard. It usually finds you...:)

Best fried chicken in the area (Southport), special recipe. http://famoussubsandpizza.com/ Best Asian restaurant I've ever eaten at, the portion size will kill you. We never miss an opportunity to eat there every time we're in town (which is about once every 2 months)...

https://www.breaktimepoolhall.com/ https://www.yelp.com/biz/rackm-pub-and-billiards-wilmington Both on College Road...either will keep you busy and in action for the whole week. Breaktime is the better of the two, wall to wall Diamonds, both BB and 9 footers, and a snooker table for golf...

I agree...my Schon plays exceptionally. Everyone that has tried that cue just looks down at it dumbfounded. A beautiful hit, nothing quite like it. As much as I love my other cues (-R-, Gulyassy, Joss, GEM) I keep coming back to my Schon.

My pin is not machined with the joint...it's separate and set in the wood, the joint collar is separate.

As far as I know, no...the Acme pin they used in 1993 (and mine is a 1993, with Schon lettering on the shaft collars) is as shown, with the extruding end. My Schon shafts have a corresponding shallower insert, so won't fit on a standard 5/16x14 pin (too long), but any 5/16x14 shaft will fit...

Here you go!

Same here...the STL 17 I bought over 25 years ago (it was an SL model then) has rings that are not lined up. They make no effort to line them up, and I've never seen a Schon that did. Every 5/16X14 shaft I own fits perfect on the Acme pin...it's dead center, as it should be. It's also dead...

Use the Force, Luke....
