    What is the best league system?

    The best 2 formats I've played in are 1. A no handicap in-house league. 5 players per team, when 2 teams play the player with the best percentage on team A plays the best on team B, 2nd best plays 2nd best, and so on. Each match is 5 games per player, the team that wins 13 games overall wins...

    still waitin on order from TAR

    I see no reason to bash the OP, he asked a simple question and wasn't disparaging towards TAR. Justin posted that they got sidetracked with so much going on, apologized, and said he'd send the items immediately. Justin is a good guy and true to his word, this thread should have ended there.

    Better investment for beginner: Predator shaft or $200 worth of training products?

    You might be surprised where Scott Lee will show up. I'd check with him if I were you. <edit> Just saw Randy's post, certainly instruction from Randy would be a very good investment too. If that doesn't work out, instructional videos. Jimmy Reids are a good start. I think books are a better...

    pool effects on the mind

    That is the real question isn't it. Which came first the anti-social behavior or the attraction to pool? At any rate I'm not convinced that pool players are necessarily anti-social, but assuming they are there really is no reason to assume one causes the other. Though I'm a person who struggles...

    "sand bagging" Yes or No ?

    The rule is pretty simple, if you aren't attempting to make a shot it is to be recorded as a safe. It isn't sandbagging, but it is a safe. I have a gripe with the rule as written because if you are hooked and kick at a ball with virtually no chance of sinking it, that is by the rule as written...

    "sand bagging" Yes or No ?

    No to both. As long as a legitimate attempt is being made, it is not a safe just prudent. I suppose it could be argued that it is in spirit sandbagging because the player know what the right thing to do is, but it is within the the rules not a safe and not sandbagging.

    Prepay required for SBE 2011 Radisson Reservations.

    If you can't afford it, will your roommates come up with their piece up front? Personally I've been out of work a long time with no prospects and I think I'll have less money a year from now and would just as soon pay up front while I'm sure I've got it. Also if it eliminates the possibility of...

    SBE...What did you buy?

    I bought a Richard Chudy cue. Just an ebony forearm and butt sleeve with his rings and a ringtail lizard wrap. Simple cue.

    Valley Forge

    I would rather have had snow. I'm going to VF come hell or HIGH WATER. A sump pump is keeping up with the water coming in, but not making progress. I'll feel guilty as hell if I have to leave my wife with a wet basement come Thursday AM, but ... Steve.<== Slept about 5 hours in the last 48.

    Sport or game

    Hard call for me, but in the end I said game. The only athletic traits required are good eye/hand coordination and good eyesight. That said I do believe on average a true athlete will fare better than a non-athletic person.

    Do you dress up to play?

    Jeans, t-shirt, & sneakers all the way. If the place is cold a flannel shirt over the t-shirt. I'm of the opinion that you play better if you're comfortable, you're comfortable dressy, I'm comfortable casual. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't play in any event or at any place which had a dress...

    Do you line up your body then the shaft or the shaft then the body to the shaft?

    I just step into the proper position, so I guess that means I like up my body first. I never even think about lining up anything, just get in the position that "feels" right.

    The "pop up" in the main forum is going a bit far!

    From the first inception of the web I've felt the advertising model will not work. It is not TV, radio, or printed matter. All the analogs to standard advertising that is presented on a website does nothing, absolutely nothing, but irritate. It is just not a successful presentation medium. In...

    valley forge

    The best prices are to be had on Sunday when people want to get rid of inventory so they don't have to carry it back. The only problem with that is that a cue you love may be gone. Barry Cameron & Chris Byrne share a booth and some of their cues might fall in the your range. They both make fine...
