    The True Record Hi Run

    Since they have more skill, then let them break that puny record on video.

    The True Record Hi Run

    If it's so easy, why hasn't the record been broken? It seems like those that would discount the past champions ability are making excuses why their favorite modern players can't break the record. If it's so easy, let them break it on video for the world to see. No one paid Mosconi a million to...

    standard vs slim taper/tip size

    If you like your current shaft stick with it. If you take the time you would spend to get used to a new shaft and instead put in some serious practice with your current shaft you may gain some skill in using it. I would find this preferable to buying a new shaft, getting used to it and being at...

    Isn't it unfair that lag winner breaks last rack when hill hill in alternate break?

    Losers will complain about anything. Perhaps practicing the lag will become important. How many chances should the soon to be losing player get to do something different so they don't have to lose. Maybe pros should just play sets against the ghost to 21 and then let the one with the highest...

    Is it customary to tip Tournament Directors?

    Play in their tournaments. It really depends on your personal philosophy on tipping. If you win the event do you tip them? If you go two and out do you tip still? I don't think I have ever seen a TD getting tipped but sometimes that sort of thing is under the table. If it were seen openly...

    Butt of your Cue

    I'm going to disagree here. You grip the cue relative to the length of your arms and the length of your bridge. There is no universal distance from the wrap that everyone should choose.

    12.3mm vs 12.5mm vs 12.75mm shaft

    Pick one and stick with it or learn to adjust. As Dave M stated it is simply a preference.

    I have one that looks like this. Paid $40 for it back in 1986.

    Thanks guys - I crushed an 8 last night

    You should be able to call your league operator and ask to be raised to a SL 7. That way it will be more challenging for you. Your team may disown you though.

    Thanks guys - I crushed an 8 last night

    So you are new to league, under ranked, getting a large spot and managed to break and run 2 racks and now you have crushed the SL 8? Don't forget to get your "I beat an 8" patch. Congrats on your two break and runs. I hope you will offer to play the SL 8 even for a small sum so you can crush...

    Best Pocket Size

    Indeed it's not the pockets. It's me.

    Best Pocket Size

    I think it depends on the level of the players. To hear some folks on here talk even 2 3/4 pockets are too big for them. I wish there was a universal standard for pockets that everyone could play on. 4 1/2 is probably a good choice though I don't see anything wrong with 5 inch pockets. I have...

    What are the differences between TAP & APA leagues

    Then my suggestion to you is to avoid any handicapped league. Play heads up pool. You might enjoy APA masters, no handicaps there. Better yet play in a local scratch league.
