No he is not.

I guess that is kind of a moot point. He should have known better, he knows what Brockton, the city where Westgate is located, is about, but it doesn't ease his loss any. I know people who won't play at Westgate for fear of their car being stolen. I'd bet the person didn't know what he got, just...

I don't care what chalk you're using if you're wearing on your ferrule, you'd better reconsider your chalking technique. If you're chalking properly you shouldn't even be touching your ferrule. You're supposed to be chalking the tip only. Look when you chalk. When a piece of chalk has a hole...

It derives from horse racing. The weight is added in pockets on the saddle. Ever notice that the first thing a winning jockey does is take off his saddle and go weight in so they know he rode with the weight he was suppose to. BTW, if you want to see a great horse racing movie see "Phar Lap" it...

I've worn glasses most of my life and never have been able to get the hang of contacts. I would suggest oversize glasses, something like the frames in aviator style sun glasses. The other thing I've heard of are shooting glasses with an adjustable nose piece like these...

Word on the street is that you're right. The word I've heard is VERY good. I've also heard you no longer give instructions. True or False?

That is the problem now isn't it? No kids are picking up the game unless their parents just happen to play. It's not hopeless, but it is discouraging.

Yeah, I hate that part too. It is so obviously drama. Especially bad seem to be the teams of Latin decent, Italians, Spanish, and especially the South Americans. The good thing is that they can be given a yellow card for taking an obvious dive.

You jest, but that is one of the beauties of the game. No going out to the fridge for a beer during a timeout or between innings. Soccer is a game you've got to pay attention to because it all changes in an instant. Pool you can miss a whole rack and you really haven't missed anything. When...

I think the US will be playing Germany and, big head or no big head, they'll lose. I see Brazil winning, but my heart wants the Netherlands to win (assuming the US doesn't pull off a miracle).

JMHO but ... I enjoy playing and watching soccer more than pool. I started playing both later in life (soccer @ 48, pool seriously @ 54). I currently play league in both (>60 division in soccer). Pool is a great game but there is no face to face in it even though it is 1 v 1 and not a team...

What is Tim Scruggs? Chopped liver? Steve.<-- Can't believe Scruggs isn't in that list.

John, On the first issue you're just talking semantics. I think for most people "english" is a term commonly used ONLY to refer to side spin. Personally I think it is just much easier to say top, bottom, and side. That aside there is no issue if he (and I) chose to define "english" as side spin...

I can tell you one thing, it is worth less than you think it is. The used pool table market is pretty saturated right now. If you want to move it, I'd put it on Craig's List for a 1000 bucks or Best Offer and expect less. Don't forget whoever buys it will have to move it or pay somebody and will...

And just what is wrong with their making money? Without the incentive of making money there would be no pool rooms to play in, there would be nobody making pool tables, there would be nobody making pool cues. Without money making incentive there would be no mordern medicines and our life...

I've no idea what the best glove is, but the most interesting one I've ever seen was a guy playing using a silk, lady's evening glove. He had all the extra glove that would have normally gone up the lady's forearm all bunched up around his wrist. lol. When you think about it, it probably was as...

Johnny you just got to do what you can. I'm 64 I used to run 70 miles a week at a 7:30 or so pace when I was 40, now I run 20 miles a week at a 9:30 pace and feel like hell. I used to play all 90 minutes on my >60 soccer team, but we've got a lot of good new players and I just get out there each...

They are actually all the same, Connolly Ultimates, the one with the 2" slate. The tables themselves are excellent. The state of repair varies. For a while the owner let them get pretty shabby. Last I played there was about 3 or 4 months ago and for the most part they were in good shape. The...

It is okay, but it is your typical "nightclub that has pool tables". Tables aren't bad, but they sometimes move them for night club type things and that obviously sometimes effects them. As I said in my other post check out the leagues at Max's in Tyngsborough. http://www.maxamillians.com/ They...

Depends upon what you're looking for. There is a Boston Billiards in Nashua and a place called Maximillans in Tyngsborough, MA just over the border from Nashua, NH. Max's have non-handicapped leagues Tuesday and Wednesday. Too late to join, but you can just drop in and substitute and they always...
