Hey Horsetrader. We have had a communication breakdown!! I have responded to each of your PM's to me but apparently you didn't receive them. FYI I never heard of Bill Cox. If you can open and retreive your personal messages you can see my replies to you. If not, and you're interested, I...

New Book Interesting observation that some people in the pool community feel that $70 is too much to pay for a book that can teach them to enjoy a game they spend hundreds and probably, ultimately, thousands of dollars on. With dedication to the instruction they may even become better players...

Pool Etiquette Until there is a unified structure of guidelines governing pool which already exists in all other successful competitions, this behavorial discussion will be forever debated with no progress being made in either direction. Pool must become organized with rules and protocols in...

What Ken said x 2!!! Perhaps the initial poster is more interested in antics and sensationalism. Who knows? But if someone wants to sell sponsers on why they should invest their promotional dollars in pool lets hope Landon is the salesperson and not Earl. Earl has been, without question, one...

Ok you have played pool ten years and you have palyed with a LePro and a Moori. LePro considered very average (blue collar) and Moori (upper echelon). If your game didn't improve a ball or more going from a $10 tip to a $40 tip you wasted your money unless you're 1-curious 2- want to fit in...

One pocket is so slow I can't remember the last game I played.....no wait, I'm still playing that game!

Fact: Your cue will be more durable with ivorine, your pool game will not suffer, you will lose membership in the ivory joint club.

Staying down Had this problem with my wife when we got married, now, 50 years later,............well, it's still a prblem but it just matters a lot less!!

Where I was........ San Diego, Ca in Naval boot camp. Stood at attention for hours. Completed boot camp and spent three years in Vietnam. Upon arriving home found out I was considered a war criminal by many and that it wasn't even a war. Just a conflict.

Lambros is a cue that I haven't owned but want to. The mystic of the joint is only one reason; if indeed it is mystique. But I do know this: my friend Danny Smith has one and he play's lights out. But come to think of it I haven't seen a cue he doesn't play lights out with, lol.

Tate and Cornerman's comments are the most understandable to me because in summation they are saying there isn't a functional reason if each are made at the same level of expertise. Pimarily subjective such as saying I "believe or like" one vs the other. Rather more like the reason for using...

Curious as to why a player or cue maker chooses one over the other. Is it a subjective difference or is there a real and noticeable difference?

Vernon Elliott, after watching me hitting a few balls told me, "you don't play too bad".

check pm Hey Horsetrader, check your pm's when you get time.

Re:Charlie Lane Thanks Scott. Yep, my annual motorcycle trip west begins in a few weeks and as usual my wife and I are looking forward to a fun trip. Of course we'll be going to your former state, MT, then eventually to Santa Fe, NM. Other than those destinations we will just be wandering...

Re:Santa Fe NM Heading to Santa Fe in Sept for a few weeks and looking for places to play for cheap or entertainment. One pocket first choice but any will be ok. If no pool rooms there then a tavern that isn't life threatening, lol.

I used Simonis cloth as a liner to cover the inside of Diamonds pockets. No more black marks!

Since your location will be the DFW area I can't imagine opening a room with used tables regardless of the brand. For the most part your clientele would expect and be able to support upscale amenities and reject seconds IMO. If you're looking to save money don't open a pool room as you likely...

Re:Hennessee from Tennessee Regrettably, Jonathan is a very easy person to dislike. He lives near me and being a fellow Tennessean I would like to pull for him to win every time he plays. Not so, due to his demeanor, conduct and lack of sportsmanship at the table. Whomever he is playing and...

Re:Ivory Thanks for posting this info and for the article. Whether the story is true or not I hope we can all agree ivory contributes nothing that enhances how a cue plays and it only can enhance its value. Shamefaced I admit I have cues with ivory but it has been over ten years since I have...
