I have a hard transition going from my home table-9’ Brunswick with 860hr to the bar tables-7’ with championship. They are smaller and have faster cloth. After switching back and forth enough you’ll get the hang of it. Going from slow to fast is usually more difficult than fast to slower cloth...

Awesome! And Pyramids is the one I always forget has 9’ers. And the set up is cool too. It’s like a pool arena! Next closest with 9’s is probably Red Shoes. All right, I’ll stop clouding up the new member post section…

No jokes here Bob. I was just trying to give -Still want to shoot- a warm welcome since this guy used to go to Hot Shots also. Even now I live 10 miles from Naperville. I was enrolled in North Central college fall of ‘98 which is legit a block away from where that place was and was naming the...

Nice. Thats on my radar. Any good?

Nah. I’m home and safe. Waited it out. Until tomorrow after that Mccy d’s I just devoured…. Let’s here some stories! Sry bout the post/edit/deletes! Didn’t want to jack your thread man

How’s your night going shooter?

Well not league but an APA qualifier. 16 person final chance board. Seeded by handicap. Played a guy that was up to a 9 and just dropped down to an 8. Was down 20 balls or so. Came back to win 65-61. Then strategically dismantled a 7 for a spot in the regionals. It was one of those days...

Hey man. I’m drunk this time. Think I scared off the new meat in the “new introduce yourself” sticky thread too!

I might know you though!😂😂😂. Like I said dude-welcome!

Raul was the counter guy for a long time. An Indian guy(I think))

Ah. I enjoy 700-730’s personally. Can you find their flaws? They are the most enjoyable players to watch IMO. Over that it gets a little more boring because stuff looks way too easy. I gotta give a solid nod to Vitaly. In our short race to 4 he showed me a shot that I now use often and kind of...

It was the scent of beer and cigarettes that permeated from my dad’s leather jacket after a long day/night out that got me hooked. I love that smell.

Damn. You and Raul with those damned cuetecs! What about Lisa? I dated her for a minute. She could play too. Yeah now that I think about it. Those were some good times! I miss going to Dennys after a long night of pool.🥲 Welcome!

Hey hey people. Don’t knock Viking too much. Nothing wrong with signing with them. Have you ever had a big cue company replace your shaft free of charge a month after you got it? Mine was broke in half and Viking did that for me. Their customer service is phenomenal.

Playing English towards the rack absolutely will send more force into the rack. It’s variable though. If you make a tight cut on a ball using outside towards the rack, you didnt change the direction of the cb enough for the outside to help much. If you make a ~45 degrees Cut with outside...

I can’t recall who it was. But One of the regular posters here mentioned his breaker is shorter than standard maybe 5 days or a week ago.. Is there a benefit to it? There is only one player that I see on occasion with a shorter break cue. It’s not due to him being short. He’s probably close to...

Thanks guys! The “hero” shot. Not often. But there is definitely a time and a place for them. I was playing a really consistent 650 one night. 9 ball. He left a rough full table bank on the 4 or the 5. That rack was more along the lines of a do or die moment. The table was spread out nicely...

now I can’t say I recommend this. But every once in a while a certain shot will throw you off all day. Some of you know where I’m coming from with this. We’ve all had that day where it is just 1 shot that you keep missing over and over I was able to counteract that the last time it happened...

It could be seen as unsportsmanlike, but he could always say he was just trying to make it harder for you to three foul so he slammed those balls, hoping that the layout wouldn’t be good for you after two(😂).….. i think in APA knocking balls off the table isn’t a foul as long as you hit the...
