    What to eat before a long tournament

    Fruitcake. It doesn't take up much room and packs a lot of calories in each bite. Mentioned in the movie Iron Will.

    Putting stuff on the felt... WTF????

    If I was that worried about the cloth from putting cases or clothes on it, I would never attempt a jump, masse, or extreme draw shot.

    Wrap or Not

    I am 6' 5". The wrap feel doesn't make a difference to me because my hand is right at the end of the cue. I don't like the way the irish linen picked up the smoke smell, and am glad the SD banned smoking in bars.

    Heavy Break Cue 4 Weak Old Man?

    Momentum is mass x velocity squared. So the quickest way to increase the hit is to speed it up. I don't have time to do the math, and shouldn't even be posting with the work I have to do. If a lighter cue can help increase the speed, might be the way to go. I had good results with a...

    Tipping the tournament director?

    I had not given it a thought. I have run some small tournaments for a local location and the owner paid my entry fee and provided a couple of meals and beverages. I was happy to do it. I would think that any compensation for directing a tournament would be the responsibility of the...

    Cuemakers Who Are Excellent Players

    Marc is the 1990 ACUI 8-ball national champion. I played him at the Regional tournament in Mankato that year. I was very impressed and remembered the name from that point on. After the break, he would take a moment to look the table over, nod his head a little and then run out. I think I...

    Keith Hansen of Keith Kustom Kues is often in the pictures of the top finishing team, and has done well in singles events too. I have seen him play with a parrot on his shoulder. Check out his "Cash Money" cue on his website.

    How many of you guys have to go Plow or Get up Snow?

    My brother would always make it to the local rural hangout four miles from home when there was a blizzard. The pool table would be opened up, because there wouldn't be anyone else there except for possibly a table of three playing pinochle. The quarter mile to the main road would be drifted...

    How many of you guys have to go Plow or Get up Snow?

    Don't stay out too long, your fingers and face will turn the color of the 2 ball. And don't hit any cars or mailboxes, or you certainly will be seeing 3 ball color. The 1 ball in the sky is a welcome sight, I bet.

    My 25 Cent Chalk Holder...

    I took apart a few hard drives and found very strong magnets in them. I thought about putting one in my pocket and using it as a chalk holder. The washer is a great idea, which I might try out later.

    Are there Really "Hard and Easy Shots" in Pocket Billiards?

    I have missed, and have seen very easy shots (even hangers) missed due to a miscue. I agree that the concentration is extremely important, no matter what the margin of error is. Some shots have no margin for error, and some have a lot. Game ball in the pocket with the cue ball very close...

    There is no shot so easy, that it can't be missed.

    League situation

    This sounds a little similar to some advice a neighbor gave me regarding finding bargains at rummage sales. He said "you are not obligated to educate the seller on price."

    Sandbagger!

    I believe that will change. GS announced that the tournaments will be handicapped and I thought MS did so too. From the GS league standings on 10/27/14: I have Counted all of the players votes and starting next year the team tournament will be Handicapped!
