    New Schon Cues

    Is this a new cue or pre-owned? Previous owner may have had it cut down.

    Glove

    The PoolDawg gloves are my favorite also. The Spandex is thick and they fit perfectly tight on MY hand. I bought ten of them years ago when they were on sale, and I still have a few unused ones left. If you like a glove with the open fingers for feeling the table cloth, these gloves are not for...

    What joint pin is this?

    I was thinking that a Turbolock might work, but then I also think that the 3/8x8 thread pitch also looked similar. I was looking at these pins on the Rhino cues website. The pictures of the pins are tiny and hard to get a good read on.

    What joint pin is this?

    This is an older (2008-ish) inexpensive Viper butt. I'm searching for an inexpensive shaft for it because I don't like having stuff around my pool room that has no use. If I can figure out the type of pin this is will greatly help. A 3/8x10 will go over the pin and tighten somewhat, but a...

    Commentaries on Streaming Pool Matches.

    This is my biggest annoyance in pool commentary. After, let's say five wrong guesses, the commentator shouldn't open his/her mouth until AFTER the shot is taken. I rolled my eyes when I read the Cornerman's interview. One of his mentioned co-commentators that he enjoyed working with was very...

    Something You Would Never Say Out Loud

    Sometimes before a difficult shot I'll mumble to myself "come on you stupid son-of-a-bitch, keep your head still and remember your fundamentals." After the shot I'll say out loud to myself "you dumb f*ck!"

    Anybody have a video of the 90 degree spot shot?

    I remember when he posted it too. I spent a good half-hour trying to make that shot on my home table before giving up. I got within 1/2 to 3/4" of making it a couple of times. I just couldn't seem to get enough spin onto the object ball to make it. I could see where a player of better skills...

    Matchroom / WPA Legal Wranglings

    I used to say the same thing when people would opine that SVB shouldn't be considered in the GOAT conversations because of his lack of "world" titles. Heck, the 5 US Opens he won had most of the same players entered that competed in the "world" tourneys. What's in a name anyway?

    Opinions regarding a former top pro playing in and dominating a Poolroom‘s weekly handicapped tournament?

    We had a Wednesday night 8-ball tournament locally that had this same rule with the exception that you had to skip a week instead of a month. Nobody had a problem with it. I went to play in the tournament one Wednesday night (this has been at least seven and maybe more years ago) and I'll be...

    Thoughts on the best way to remove tension when shooting in league/tournaments?

    That's a form of "good" pressure too. Especially when the lid finally blows off!!! 😆

    Thoughts on the best way to remove tension when shooting in league/tournaments?

    I doesn't necessarily have to be "Yoga" breathing...just breathe! I see people on league nights tighter than a Swiss watch. I encourage them to sit down when they are not at the table and take some good, deep breaths and try to focus on the enjoyment of the game. Standing around "chomping at...

    Buying from Amazon / Ebay

    This and post #4 is all you need to know here. Buy them. If there are damaged balls inside, surely you'd be able to get a refund, right?

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    All the bills in my money clips are all facing the same way. Always...without fail.

    What exactly are they wiping off???

    I've been playing with a CF shaft for months and haven't wiped it off yet while playing. I do wipe it down before putting it back into the case. As far as "a moving visual distraction" goes, I'm not focusing my eyes on the shaft, I'm looking at where the tip is in relation to the point on the...

    Completely legal in APA League pool. What Souto did was completely NOT legal.
