    New forum rules regarding posting of links

    Silliness. Some day maybe you'll get a clue about the original spirit of the internet. It was not about protecting one's turf.

    Survey- Private Billiard Club...

    I voted "Maybe" because it would depend upon 2 factors. 1. It would absolutely have to have a NO Smoking policy for me to join. 2. A factor of less importance, but nevertheless a consideration, would be the volume the jukebox is kept at. <Edit> After reading a little more carefully and reading...

    Most powerful stroke ever?

    I concur. For pure power you've got to go with Mike Massey. The sweetest stroke has to be Buddy, smooth as butter.

    This is for the old guys....

    I never really played the game with any regularity until I was 54 (64 now) and the last of my kids was off to college. Before that I was lucky to play twice a year (but I did a good job raising my kids). So I guess pool is still a little exciting to me. My game is much, much better than when I...

    Where to fix my Instroke 3x7 case with broken top pocket hatch?

    Dallas --> cowboys --> saddle makers ... I think any saddle maker/leather worker would be able to handle it easily.

    Sandbagging at APA National level

    I am of the same opinion as you. There is sandbagging and it does have an effect, but there is not nearly as much sandbagging as some people claim. People have good days and bad days. For that matter people often play during the same game over, under, and at their handicap rating. I think a lot...

    Don't forget Longoni is an Italian company. If they originally wrote this ad for the Italian market it may have suffered in the translation. Things happen.

    Fundraiser/Sponsorship

    Not that it has anything to do with this thread, but I've found that by giving directly to charities I support I accomplish more. The United Way takes a pretty good size administrative bite IMO.

    Best Psychology Books for Pool Players

    Maybe because it appears to be self-published and not available at the normal book outlets.

    Best Psychology Books for Pool Players

    That is one I'd recommend. I'd also recommend Tao of Sports The monk books are jive. "Pleasures ..." is just psychological mumbo-jumbo IMO.

    Hindu's in Lowell, Massachusetts Protest Vote to Allow Billiard Hall Next to Temple

    First the Indians come here and take my job by working dirt cheap then they want to take away my hobby. New England (the northeast in general) is loosing pool rooms left and right and we can't afford to have somebody (I think I know who it is) taking a positive step be discouraged. Steve. <==...

    **Eric Hu needs sponsors**

    I'll pay 3 bucks to see Rich stuff 2 bucks in your underwear. Of course I've never seen Rich drink more than a beer or two and I know it is going to take a lot more than that for him to shove anything in or out of your underwear. Steve.<== Thinks Eric is a fail as a scammer.

    Do you guys remember rotary telephones?

    I not only remember rotary phones, I remember phones without even rotary dials. We'd pick it up and the operator (my buddy Roy's Aunt Laura) would pickup and say "Number please." Then we either tell her the number (usually 3 digits) if we remembered it or just tell her the name and she'd connect...

    madman cue tip variety/sample pack

    I keep seeing post by you about your tips, but I've yet to see you say how to get them. I even sent you a PM asking and you never answered it. I'm thinking I don't want to bother now, but just thought I'd ask once more how to get them.

    Life after APA

    Well I agree the "23 rule" is a problem, it has some good points. It forces teams to play weaker players. It prevents teams from loading up with all A players. Sandbagging would go on regardless, it happens in tournaments and in the gambling world. I think without the "23 rule" the APA would...

    APA 8 Ball???

    Yes it is true, but it doesn't really effect the outcome of matches except on rare occasions. I'd say it has no more effect than accidentally leaving your opponent safe. People tend to make a big deal out of it, but it really isn't. The best player will win as frequently as they would without...
