One of the few times I've been in the zone, my opponent had to stop me as I reached for my break cue to prepare to break the next rack. He had to stop me to tell me it was over and that I had won. I had no idea what the score was, and that I had just run the last two racks to finish it. Best...

I think when you create a thread titled "What is the proper time to take a break from the forum?" is as good as any time.??

Reminds me of the first time my wife every saw me play pool. I invited her to a come watch me in a Pro-Am I was playing in in Japan. She only watched one match I was in where I won convincingly, and had a couple good run outs. When I got back to my wife in the gallery, I asked her, "so, what...

BAM!!!!!!!!:yeah::yeah:

I #%(king hate to lose period...............to anybody..........anytime............anywhere..............at anything...............whatever the stakes are. Sure, losing larger amounts of money make me more angry, but I don't like to lose period, and so far that has been a good motivator. dave

When warming up before a tournament, I don't break but instead just throw all the balls out well spread on the table and just get into the rhythm of running balls. But, I never pocket the 9 (or 10) ball if I get the shape I intended. I will shoot the bad shape 9's and 10's but NEVER the good...

I saw this match, and Eric was weird! I remember (first or second rack) Edwin was on the 8 in the corner facing Eric. Eric sat there somewhat still, but just as Edwin was cocking back to pull the trigger, he waved his cue. His antics were way out of line! dave

That won't always resolve the issue. Because the law states that if an agent suspects a product to be illegal, they are them permitted by law to confiscate and often times the process of proving that your material in question is not illegal involves stripping the cue of the product in order to...

I used to live in Japan and sold high end cues on the side. It was always easy to buy a cue from the US and ship it to Japan. However, shipping a cue from Japan back to the states was always risky (but possible), and quite a hassle. Nowdays, I would suggest way to much of a risk to make it...

What is it?:thumbup:

I've actually heard of a situation where a guy was shooting a straight in to a side pocket. He hit it so hard that the OB hit the back of the pocket and popped right back out to the playing surface AND with enough spin on it to bring it to a dead...

I thought it was odd too. I don't think I've ever seen a movie based on pool that would appear realistic to a pool player other than the original The Hustler. All other movies tend to appeal to the average joe that doesn't know much about pool. I have always believed it would be possible to...

Just a tip from another AZ brother. Be glad you didn't catch the guy you were looking for. They came around these parts and pulled the same kinda crap. I ended up rolling around on the floor with one of them, and ever since, I've had this serious pain in my chest that I can't shake that keeps...

I would have to say a high end cue would be anything made by what most would agree a high end cuemaker. I would consider a Gilbert jump/break at $450 to be a high end cue. dave

I would have to say "NO"! However, if a player were to once reach world class level, and then get into other activities that make playing/practice a 3 days a week deal, then I think it's possible to do. But initially getting to world class speed takes too much for a working man. That said, I...

If you're looking for a keeper to play with long term, IMHO Josey hands down. More cue for less money. However, if you ever decide to sell it, for some reason, you won't get as much for it as you would a Scruggs. Scruggs will play very well too. However, a little more to get into, but the...

Things I've learned in my relatively limited and recent time spent playing BB 8 ball. 1) Pockets are huge, so trust your shot making ability more than position play. Be willing to settle for shots that might otherwise make you feel uncomfortable on the big table (they will go). The less CB...

Title says it all. Have to do a couple of weeks in Amarillo. Looking for a good clean place to play on 9 footers, maybe play in a weekly and meet up with other AZ members? dave

Not familiar with the Osaka area, but for the most part any of the billiard clubs you venture into would have 'light' supplies for sale including tips from all the major brands as well as other items. Additionally, most of the larger clubs, particularly the Bagus chain of billiard clubs will...

Oval shaped butts would work wonders for those that prefer oval shapped butts. Sounds like a smartass answer, but feel is all about personal tastes. There might be guys out there that would love a square shaped butt. You never know. I've seen triangle shaped shafts. Not for me, but wouldn't...
