    Purchasing a cue online

    I have bought 4 USED cues online all through E-BAY. All have been good deals and some of my favorite cues. - First was a plain (but attractive) brunswick - it was light - I gave it ot my wife she loves it. Then I got a Mcdermott with 2 shafts (one 12.5 mm and other 13 mm). Used that for awhile...

    Practicing with tight pockets - I say it helps!

    On my former table, with big pockets, I used the pocket reducers and found them very helpful for straight in percision shooting! Which is when I used them - when I wanted to work on percision center pocket shots, but obviously for other types of practice they need to come off. I love my new...

    Practicing with tight pockets - I say it helps!

    Good thought on the switch from 860 to 760 cloth. I had always thought use 860 as that is what you will always play on, but my table too is in the basement (though finished), I run a dehumdifier in the room year round. It pulls about 1 1/2 - 2 gallons a day in the summer - that's a lot of water...

    Practicing with tight pockets - I say it helps!

    I want to bring this up. I've seen it under other posts but thought it needed it's own title. I have pockets that are approx. 4 1/8 and I personally think it helps my game. My previous table, had pockets that were 4 1/2 (atleast) and I always felt they were too big. I like the tighter...

    Handicap systems in various leagues! Good or bad?

    I find that handicap systems can be somewhat frustrating. People are fine when they beat me. But when I start playing better than them they start mumbling, "your better than your handicap". Which in truth I can be. What keeps my handicap lower is I panic on the 8 or 9 and when that happens I...

    Is practicing alone sufficient?

    Hi this is Jim (preacherman), I sort of took off the summer from playing in leagues or local tournaments. But I have been practicing throughout the summer. Today I went to a local tournament (APA), basically to see if my skills against another player had increased or decreased over the summer...

    BCA/ACS - who's winning?

    BCA or ACS which way to go??? I am still trying to hang in there with BCA. Just dislike the way this transaction went and feel more toward the BCA. I can not likely go to both BCA and ACS so I will likely not go to either. If I go I lean toward BCA in LV. Jim "preacherman"...

    Favorite Pro

    My favorite Pro player would have to be Tommy Kennedy - I met him 2 years ago - He was friendly then and has always been every time I talk with him. Tommy wins the nicest, friendliest pro for sure. My favorite of the pro women - Would be Allison Fisher for her talent at the game. I would...
