When you say, "One Foul" what exactly does that mean?

That is how I remember playing and scratches get ball in hand behind the line. IF you scratch and a ball is made that ball spots up and you get the cue ball in the kitchen and things keep rolling. There are things about the old way that would appeal to some viewers but this is what we changed...

I recently went back to playing with my old cue shafts (regular maple long taper) they are the ones that I was thinking of when I wrote my post. I got in a small stakes game of 1pkt with them and I chalked every shot and actually got too much chalk and things started getting gritty. I learned...

Today the only time I watch a 9ball match is when it comes up in my YouTube feed and I want to see a players fundamentals. I used to have trouble watching 1pkt. but the better I got at it the more interesting it became. Now I can't watch 9-ball and everyone I introduce to 1 pkt tells they no...

That sounds interesting. I may have to give that a try.

A few years back, I had some Elks installed that were great tips. If you get good ones they are hard to beat.

What tip do you use? Is it the soft, med or hard tip?

I've been thinking of flattening the G10 like that and installing a Taom (red) over it. The G10 breaks well, but its slick as glass and I like just a little more grip for jumping.

I took just enough off to have a flat spot in the center. I took off the tip of the dome. The flatter place is no larger than an eraser and probably smaller.

I have a break cue that works well 18oz. However its not a great jumper, until I filed it flatter like my jump cue and now I only carry it. It has a G 10 tip. When curved it dances off the cue ball a lot. The jump cue was almost flat and it jumps as well as the Propel and that is saying something.

I had to cut off a conversation in the pool room today. I would have enjoyed it at another time in another place. It just wasn't the right time.

As a kid I always looked for a light cue on the rack. I had a guy make me a stick with at 3/8 x 10 pin that weighs about 12oz. plus shaft I'm at 15.2 and it plays amazingly. The new cloth is so pressure sensitive there is no reason to play with a heavy cue in my opinion.

Another thing I don't understand is what are owners getting out of installing the Digital Pool System. If its $10 a month to see whats going on in the room I can't imagine they are getting much exposure in the room.

What is price for table time in that room?

Definitely. They must have alcohol and food to go with it. The painful reality is that the space the Pool Room occupies might be better used as an event center for all kinds of interests and for rent because the cost of the tables adds to the amount of investment in a rental shell they don't...

and Cornhole, just like Pool Leagues occurs in Pool Rooms. Pool Rooms are becoming event centers.

I didn't say not one thing about there being any regulations around opening up a pool room.

The thing that I don't understand is why there isn't a Room Owners Association and why they aren't a major player in the professional sport along with players and the manufacturers on board for the purposes of a core US tour at least at the Semi-Pro level. It just seems like there is cog in the...

Thanks my fingers don't work so good in the morning. I fixed the title.

For the same reason that pool players don't give $10 a piece to sponsor the pro sport.
