When I was first learning 1-Pocket an old timer gave me 11-4. We played for time. When I won a game it went to 10-5, etc., etc... I always paid for the time back then... :) Troy

Let me provide an answer --- If you or your kid wanted to learn how to hit a Golf ball or Baseball would you rather ask Tiger woods or his Coach, would you rather ask Barry Bonds or his Coach ??? I would go with the Coach every time !!! Troy

A whole box of chalk in a couple weeks ??? A box is a gross, that's 144 pieces of chalk. Man, you forget to pick up your chalk way too often. Are you sure a holder is the answer ??? :) If so, try Mueller's at this link http://www.poolndarts.com/search.cfm then key in "chalk". Troy

Sounds like you're thinking of the USPPA. However, that system is maintained through their "office" by submitting scoresheets. You can contact Tony Annigoni at 1-800-471-1164. Their website is http://usppa.com Troy

Per the BCA "Equipment" section of the "Rules" -- Pocket Billiard Balls Weight: 5 1/2 to 6 oz. Diameter: 2 1/4" (+/-.005"). To me, that certainly appears to be a "standard", however loose as it may be. Troy

Maybe you compared a USED Red Circle CB to a NEW Blue Circle CB. Age (and wear) does make a difference... :) Troy

I also suggest a pad with an ivory ferrule. No extra charge... :) Troy

They use Cuetec shafts but NO fiberglass cloating, just plain wood. Troy

Composite graphite shafts have been around for a few years. The feel similar to Cuetec's fiberglass/fiberglass coated shafts, that is, they feel "sticky". Troy

I don't think you have a ferrule problem. A harder tip may help - such as a non-layered Water Buffalo or a phenolic tip. Troy

E-mail Fraud This is NOT an E-Bay fraud but an E-Mail fraud !!! I too have received e-mail asking me to update various accounts. DO NOT !!! Simply delete the e-mail. Troy

And the result is CRATERS similar to when using the SARDINE GIZMO... :( Troy

I don't understand the problem or how such a devise would be used. You want to put a rubber pad OVER the balls and then tap them ??? Certainly not UNDER the balls. I suggest you learn how to properly rack and simply follow the WPA Rules (http://www.wpa-pool.com/rules1.htm) which clearly state ...

Yes, the Great Entertainer lost their lease. Actually, it wasn't renewed. Also, the cost of insurance became exorbitant. Last week they had an "auction" of most equipment. Troy

Per the BCA Rules, Player may bring a maximum of 3 cue sticks to a match. * Width of tip: no minimum / 14 mm maximum * Weight: no minimum / 25 oz. maximum * Length: 40 inches minimum / no maximum The WPA Rules do NOT specify the number of cues but the other items are specified. Having said...

I don't know about "chalk shaping the tip", but over time a tip will take its own shape depending on the style of the player,. Troy

I just love the Ultimate Tip Tool --- They bring me lots of repair work ... :) 1) mis-use can cause damage to the ferrule, and 2) the burnisher part is at too much of an angle. I use a piece of leather and spin the shaft using a lathe. Troy
