    Stalemate

    Yes, there is. It's pretty rare, but basically the players must agree that it's a stalemate. (neither player can make use of the shot or ball in hand) In 8 ball you wipe out all the innings and defensive shots so that game or anything that happened in that game never happened, you cross it out...

    I want your opinion

    Personally I think the photos would be helpful, but your reputation doesn't seem to suffer because of it. If I read your post and I want to try and work out a deal then I'll contact you. I think your threads are more for the experienced pool player or experienced billiard equipment buyer. I...

    What would be the better purchase predator vs schon?

    While in my experience this is certainly true now, it wasn't always always true. They used to be most helpful, but now the prices have gone up, customer service and quality are at an all time low. It's too bad really, my Schon is from the early 90's and it's an excellent cue. If I were to guess...

    What would be the better purchase predator vs schon?

    These are 2 pretty different products. The better purchase is going to be the one you like better. I think the Schon will probably age a little better and retain its value, but the Revo is all the rage. The Revo hasn’t really been out long enough to know how well it will hold its value. It may...

    Have Bar Box Tables Evolved?

    Call the Ridgeback folks. Very nice people https://www.ridgebackrails.net/ I don't remember if it was his system or not, but he had the information for it there at his place and on his sample table

    Have Bar Box Tables Evolved?

    At the APA Team event last summer I saw that Kerry (?) the Ridgeback rail guy had an electronic payment system for bar tables. I believe it was Apple and Android compliant as well as credit card and took regular old money too. Of course, I haven't seen that in any bar or pool hall, but it's out...

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Cleaning Question

    When the Revo first came out I was talking to the Predator guy at an APA event and I asked him about cleaning the Revo because the Predator wipes could be a little pricey. He told me they nothing but alcohol wipes. You can get a whole box of those, about 100 or 200, something like that, at your...

    Using Phone to Record Close Hits

    I don't know if VNEA has a rule about video or the use of video, but maybe there's a rule you can refer to. That should end any debate right there

    Playing better players to get better?

    Different people respond to different things differently, that is - nothing works for everyone. Something I discovered early on is that I love to play pool but I really don’t like to play against other people. The biggest steps I’ve take weren’t made when I was racking for a better player, but...

    What's with all these different pins and joints?

    I think they probably make a difference if you think they make a difference. What kind of Ketchup do you like on your hot dog? Can you really tell the difference. I had been searching for a Predator cue, it was going to be my Holy Grail, the cue of cues. As I had pretty much always played with...

    Music you listen to while playing pool

    To me it doesn't really matter, music is strictly background but useful. I may find a tune or two and a word or a lick might drift out that I know to help the rhythm, but generally I can tune it out. I also need the sounds of the environment, the balls crashing, chalk scratch and squeak, the...
