I hear ya, Williebetmore. I'm a Realtor, and I suppose my advice could be painfully boring and no fun at all... Hey, I know, UW can put an ad something like this in the paper: Wanted: 9' pool table room with attached, 3 bedroom bungalow :) Just kidding, I wish him well in his search!

OK, a 9 foot table is neither a need nor a want... its a tradeforall :D

I wouldn't shop for a house with your #1 need being a room big enough for a 9 footer. That would be similar to shopping for a house with a big enough bedroom to hold your king sized bed and oversized furniture. It usually doesn't work because you have to sacrifice too many other important...

For the most part, I feel the same. I'm much more comfortable in individual sports. Unfortunately, I played hockey 'til I was almost 19 and in hindsight, I was wasting my time. Had my dad given me a golf club when I was 6 instead of a hockey stick, I have no doubt my life would have been...

The difinitive book in pool for me, anyway, was "The 99 Critical Shots in Pool" by Ray Martin. It could have been just where I was at the time on the learning curve in this game, but I've never seen another book pack as much useful info since. Have you read it Bernie? BTW, I haven't read the...

I've got a buddy that makes everyone use a "tee" when breaking at his table. I don't like it. It just doesn't feel right. I tell him its sorta like a condom. Should be avoided whenever possible...

Hey mang, thanks for your return post. I can see we're both making our points and havin' a bit of fun at the same time. All is well! Regards to ya, Tobyjoe :)

Please... if all that was asked of the man was to "tone it down a bit", I might not have taken issue. The facts are, he was disparaged through comments like: "...just think before posting retarded threads 20x per day." "...most of his posts are so inane that I personally generally don't read...

First Fl, now Silencer. Glad to see so many great believers in "freedom of speech". :mad:

Hmmm, I thought he meant it was embarrasing because it is so pidily, as well. Heck, look at golf, they brag about their million dollar prizes and appearance fees all the time.

I as well use a sledgehammer. I love the fact you don't have to worry about the tip flying off. One of my pool buddies recently bought the black "Scorpion" break cue with those metal "power rings". As part of my handicap, I agreed to use it instead of my sledgehammer last friday. On my second...

A little wax on the pin and it'll work like a charm! The alchohol raised the grain of the wood. The wax should smooth it down again.

Hey Bernie. In 9-ball, do you HAVE to miss a shot to purposely give your opponent ball in hand? In other words, instead of purposely missing a kick, can I simply walk up to the other player and tell him to take a ball in hand without actually touching the CB?

"Im sorry I like my competition with drama." Well said! Look at men's tennis now. Boring, boring. No drama at all. Not one of 'em has any charisma as far as I'm concerned. Sports need their McEnroes, Rodmans, Dalys and maybe even their Tysons to keep things interesting.

How do you explain someone like John McInroe? Ask the average joe on the street to name a male pro tennis player and I'll bet his name comes up quite a bit, even though he's been off the scene for a decade or more... Why was he a crowd draw? I used to love watching him, 'cause you just knew he...

I have a Sardo, had it since almost day 1. The key to the system is the "training" of the cloth. Without these little dimples to register the balls, the whole system is useless. I can't imagine a device that would work on any cloth, first time. Worse when the cloth is worn a bit and the tracks...

I'm glad you have posted these comments. You have confirmed for everyone on this forum that FL is indeed for real and knows of what he speaks.

Its quick, but its true that you may have to tighten it during play. I put a tip on my buddy's new P2 and he complained for about an hour that I did a crapola job because it was buzzing. Turns out the joint needed an ever so slight tightening... While the quickness of the joint is cool, I'm not...

Hi Larry. Some time back, you spoke of the Talisman tip. I finally got some sent to me, but I haven't had time to mount one up on my play cue. I'll do it real soon, and am looking forward to it. I've got lots of Triangle tips. They're quite a bit cheaper - are you saying they're just as good as...

Spray on starch. That's right, the same stuff used to iron a shirt. Works great. Even better if you can spin the cue on a lathe.
