BBC - nice Rambow cues you have! It's all in the eye of the beholder, I guess. To me the Bihun "Made By" and the Rambow "Made By"'s are close enough to have been made by the same person, especially considering that they are being written on a curved piece of wood. But I'm no CSI handwriting...

The owner of Red Shoes Billiards in Alsip IL (screen name "Red Shoes") posted the following question in the main forum. I'm repeating it here because you guys would know best: Some years ago (when I was doing my last remodeling) a buddy of mine "borrowed" a table lift from a room in Brookfield...

Ditto about Lou's post. I'm going to watch on Saturday so that soon I can begin donating with terminal embarrassment.

bump for a great tournament

42 in the Red Shoes Wednesday league on June 13.

It looks like the same guy signed Steve Bihun's cues that signed Rambow's cues late in his career. I compared the "made by" to a pic of another cue that had "made by Rambow" on it, and the "made by" was very similar, though not exactly the same. It was close enough that either it's the same...

I think Pat wants you to call him at 800-828-0397, but if that would be expensive from where you are, you could email him at accustats@accu-stats.com

A couple of thoughts. It can be pretty frustrating for a good player like Ed Latimer, whose last handicap at Red Shoes was 235, to have to play someone with a 50 handicap. Because the maximum game is to 150, Ed would play a 50 guy 150-32 and he found that pretty frustrating. He still had good...

I've tried Novus #1 plastic polish, Brillianize, and Tiger's Le Manifik ball cleaner. Both Brillianize and Le Manifik do a good job on the balls without gumming up the carpet in the Diamond cleaner. Novus also did a good job but it seemed to leave little dandruff-like flakes on the cloth after...

$500 added for full field, but how many is a full field?

bump for a great tournament in a great room

Dana, you seem to be agreeing that the high run should enter history as 42 since that's how many you had run before the shot on which you fouled (the 43rd shot). I agree that Billiard Buddy is an outstanding app.

Just to clarify, this issue is only in regard to what Billiard Buddy is calling the game's high run. It's not a scoring issue. The app does that correctly - in my example you only get 41 for the inning. In our leagues we have a number of players who keep score using the Buddy. Its game...

I've pointed out what I think is a minor problem in the otherwise excellent Billiard Buddy scoring app and discussed it with the programmer. I post the issue here to make sure I'm right before the programmer goes to any trouble to change it. Let's say I run 3 racks after the opening safety...

Bump for a great tournament. I'm playing, so that will make the prize fund bigger for real shooters.

Thanks again for the responses - any more?

Thanks for all the responses - please keep 'em coming.

Thanks, John! I'll have to check into Strokers and Capones - they appear to be open still - but Bakers has apparently closed (http://www.tampabilliards.com/bakers.html) Anybody have other suggestions?

So the wife wants to move to Florida for at least part of the year. Her only requirement is to be near the Gulf because she loves to swim in the Gulf's warm water. My requirement is that there be a nice old-fashioned pool hall not too far driving distance (say 40 miles or less) from the Gulf...
