I PM'd you Joe.

My new Scruggs arrived a few days ago. Please forgive the quality of the pictures, they don't do the cue justice. 4 coco points into birdsey with a slotted diamond and 2 dots in each point. 4 veneers clear maple, maroon, orange, and black leather wrap hoppe ring, bumperless coco buttsleeve with...

It is sad, I'm from nowhere near Comet, but I used to enjoy the ustream by Accu-stats. The owners had it right young people today don't have the patience to learn the game, they want instant gratification and can't put in hours and hours of frustration to get up to speed. It is kind of rampant...

You know I think you hit the nail on the head. A "Pool Room" can not survive what can survive is the terrible place to play, a nightclub with pool rooms. Sucks, doesn't it?

Generally I'm not carrying more than 50 bucks and I carry it in my wallet. On the rare occasion, like when on vacation, that I carrying enough to thicken my wallet I carry it folded in no particular pocket. Steve. <-- thinks money management is much simpler when you don't gamble (like me).

Can't say I like that Omni Bridge at all. Only two heights to choose from and the elevated heights don't look high enough to do the job. I'll stick with the "Moosehead".

At about age 14 (which would have been about 1958) at a Roller Skating Club party. It was in the house in which Daniel Webster lived when he was a US Senator in Marshfield, MA. The owner of the roller rink lived there and had a pool table in one room. Instantly fell in love with the game, but...

Jamison, Let's assume that Sterling's motivation was for PR, a proposition I can believe of any business and any businessman. Does it really matter, some kids will get the use of some badly needed equipment. Probably not the best equipment in the world, but probably much better than they had...

I've used it for many years without a problem. Whenever I have it in a position like you describe I find another angle for the bridge or worst of all hold it in the air while I shoot. It might be a good idea to take one of the slots that is seldom used and widen it. Maybe I'll try that with one...

That is an incredible cue.:eek: One of the best uses of an ivory handle ever done. The trouble is that now if I ever get to the top of Joel's list he'll refuse to do the simple cue I can afford. You know the old song from WWI "How you going to keep down on the farm after they've seen Parii?"...

You can't beat Bill, some others have an equal level of knowledge, but no other communicates it as well. Danny also is good, but he goofs around too much. Bill and Danny are without doubt the best combination. Billy and Grady are also pretty good together when they aren't bickering.

It didn't at the old location. I haven't been to the new one yet.

Make that http://www.snookersri.com/, one of the best rooms in New England.

Haven't tried the Wizard, but I've tried a Kamui Black and was not particularly impressed. Nothing wrong with them, just nothing special IMO.

Maybe a bit distracting. :)

Nice case. I noticed the little chalk drawer. It is interesting and unique, but do you really think it will serve any useful purpose?

Of course... did you realize they wanted to reopen Good Times in Brockton, but they were blocked because it was thought they'd bring a "bad element" into Brockton. Be serious, how much worse could the "element" get in Brockton. I think it more likely they were blocked by the Westgate Bowl.

If you're truly a beginner you shouldn't be using much english and you probably shouldn't notice much, if any, difference between a normal shaft and an ld shaft. If you don't already own one don't buy one yet. Maybe never buy one, I had a predator and went back to a standard shaft.

How could I forget Brighton Billiards...
