After last year's event I posted my negative, but justified, response to how my situation was badly handled. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=356349&page=2 Some folks who responded missed the essence of what occurred. Last year I signed up for three events and TAP. I was well...

Original post last October on the topic of cheesy patches worn by pros. IMHO this just supports my case: Ga Young, female POY 2014, WITH A STICK ON ARM PATCH ON BARE SKIN...REALLY?

Re replies Thanks you all for the input. Have taken away a few ideas that I will try.

Been gratis teaching a young female for the last several months who wants to elevate her nine ball game. While her fundamentals and skill set have significantly improved, it seems I've reached a plateau with her in that I can't seem to convey to her how to recognize three-ball patterns to beat...

Thanks Allen that worked for me. Merry Christmas.

My second time trying to get this resolved. Made payment and still showing Silver. I'm on this site everyday and would like to support it. But, it seems as I get older, this kind of little thing sticks in my craw. Easy remedy for me, won't renew membership next time. And yes I did send more...

I did in Nov and still have issues.

Can identify with your hypothetical scenario... actually happened to me in Amsterdam NY. Coming out of pool room to get on the thruway was on wrong side of road waiting for green light. Hadn't been there in a while and they changed the traffic pattern. Cop pulled me over. Fortunately gave me...

I like to think of myself as an ambassador of the game we all love and enjoy to play. I’ve participated in and supported amateur play for many years. I have helped many less skilled amateurs with their game and will step up to pro play on occasion, just to keep my ego in check and learn...

Ditto on thanking them via your link. Painless way to give kudos.

Handling the enormous pressure like it's no big thing. Watched John and Corey visibly shaking like a leaf can only tell you how different this event is from any other. When prepping amateur teams for Vegas, I stress the match begins not with the first break but with the lag. Don't believe we...

Does it bother anyone else to watch those flimsy self-stick-on sponsor patches on the shirts and blouses of pros. Pros are constantly applying hand pressure between shots to re-secure their patches almost routinely as if as much muscle memory is kicking in as displayed in their stroke. I keep...

Don't feel so bad. Consider this, our APA league has remained stable size-wise for the last eight/nine years. Prior to the last five years, we would receive $6,000 for advancing LTC teams not counting Vegas money for the winning teams. Apparently, the built-in system profit wasn't enough for...

Thanks for the link. KA played great. Tough table...very slow. Couldn't believe owners would let those kids bounce around like that for over half of the match. I wouldn't have been able to handle that distraction like they did. Amazing focus from both pros.

Thanks Tate for your reply and especially for taking the time to find this link. I suspected as much, but this gives me an informed way of letting my young friend know what he has and not what he thought he might have. I'm pretty thick-skinned or I wouldn't have survived in my working career...

Thanks for the input Dan.

A friend of a friend showed me some pics of what he thought might be a Mosconi cue. They seemed pretty excited about his find. While I have played the game for many decades, cue identification is not my area of expertise. I suggested and recommended posting on AZ where I know answers can be...

A friend found this in an attic. Authenticity and value comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for small size pics but had to resize them to fit.

A friend uncovered this cue from an attic. Any thoughts on authenticity and/or value? Thanks in advance.
