Hmmmm, the APA, haven't played it in many, many moons, and have never tried any other league format. Besides being social, it sure seemed competitive in my area (meaning people want to win). In and out of pool for 23 years, I have never found a greater pressure to hone the competitive skills...

Good to hear from you JAM and glad you are safe. Glad you checked in... :) Best wishes with your tooth and make sure the dentist prescribes plenty of pain meds... :wink: Stay safe and best wishes to all hit harder and without power, etc. ~Razor

Yes, surely it can be removed. Anything's possible. Find your local cue maker/repairman and have at it... Or how's it applied, I'm not familiar? Very, very fine sandpaper perhaps.... Good luck. ~Razor

Rick (or anyone else), Please clarify. I am confused by your statement indicating inside/outside affecting a carom angle (should be highlighted in blue above in your quoted text). I was under that the impression that only low/high on the CB changed the direction of the carom angle, and...

You're probably right, I'm old and the memory is not perfect. At least I remembered him talking about it (I think)... :grin: Thanks for the clarification. ~Razor

That is one beautiful table. Congrats and enjoy. Too bad the way they chop up houses these days into smaller rooms (at least mine), I will have to add a room to house my dream 9 footer...walls in the way is unacceptable to me...no short cues allowed. :) Hit 'em straight. Peace. ~Razor

Maybe I misunderstand the human nature and psychology of a true competitor based on my life experience. Title on the line = no dump or intentional loss. Money comes, money goes. It means nothing in the long term, IMHO. Saver or chop for immediate financial reasons by some players = in the...

Storms a Brewing - Opponent's Pocket surrounded with threats... Remember, just like one-pocket, there is a way out of any well-laid trap. If needed, play the Nick Varner wedge for safety and wait out the game as long as needed. Take a scratch or two. And, keep your chalk dry. Best wishes...

Gotcha, wasn't aware of that, or had forgotten. Guess that changes that suggestion altogether. Thanks for the reminder / correction. :) Peace. ~Razor

What are you used to? How long have you been playing? All shafts produce cue-ball squirt (I think a LD shaft produces somewhere around 20-40% less squirt depending on the build ~ (the fact checkers can, and will correct me if I am wrong on that). I could recommend a LD shaft to any player...

I take time off all the time. Here's my opinion, when there’s less time to play/practice, you waste less time. When you have a compressed play schedule, you tend to focus on what’s important, succinct, and meaningful. Constraining time encourages quality time, IMO. But I'm just a banger...

I don't know if it is against the rules or not, but I once saw Corey D. lay a bridge on the table and place his fingers on the shaft of the bridge, either to gain height to bridge over a ball or execute a jump shot, can't remember. This was in some type of "official" tournament (whatever that...

Same, after you adjust your approach. Just like playing on different golf courses in my opinion. Some have wide fairways, some narrow. Some with more sand, some with more deep rough, some fast greens, some slow greens. More trees, less trees. Water hazards, no or few water hazards. Some...

Fargo I play a lot of the game Freddie mentioned called Fargo (Mike Page also has a video on his Youtube channel explaining/demonstrating the game). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHj6KUw8xzE It allows more flexibility in deciding when to switch over to rotation, and for me, it keeps the...

Yes, agree. Of course we know two members for team USA. I am just pulling for The Hatchetman, we really need his fire, IMHO. Hope he is a lock, think he finished maybe 3rd in the points? Best wishes and go get 'em. Congrats in advance to all the selections and Captain CJ. Peace. ~Razor...

"I’m a fan of capitalism because history proves it works." If someone figures out how to make "it" work financially (for profit), then it shall be done. Until then, which includes the possibility of never, then pool will remain a niche game not widely accepted by the masses. That's all...

Well business first: What's Good About A Good Stroke? A good stroke is good because it is good in fulfilling it's desired (and good) purpose, in a good repeatable manner... :) ______________ On a side note... nobcity: We should get together and hit some, I think I'm close to your area...

Okay, since it has been brought up in a couple of past posts, and as a consumer who just joined this year: who is this POS and does he sell or transact business through here? Not to sound braggadocios in any way at all, but I have already spent a little $$$ through this site in 2012 (some may...

I agree with the "thank you" to Accu-Stats for documenting a portion of pool history for the last 30 years or so; and as it relates to this thread, specifically for this US Open 9 Ball coverage. Sure, things can always be improved (the website? commentary? etc?) and I'm sure Accu-Stats will...
