No, that is not all you can ask. You can ask that they also have some basic understanding of how ball collisions work so that they can actually make educated rulings instead of incorrect ones due to ignorance about how balls react. I don't think asking that they have the knowledge to properly...

It's really isn't any different when it comes down to it I don't think. This particular ad will run for about 1.5 months. A substantial portion of cues sell within 1.5 months. Also, your argument is essentially that this ad should be allowed because it is a short time offer. So what about...

No, he asked about tips for a friend who was coming from Europe to America to travel around for months gambling at pool. Not sure why you think it has to be confined to hustling secrets only as he never said anything like that. If you don't think that pointing out how traveling around America...

Some people still actually care about others. Seems like something to be celebrated rather than admonished at least from where I sit. That America can be dangerous and that traveling around gambling in bars/pool halls can be dangerous doesn't sound political to me. It's just the facts...

As you humorously point out such tiny size differences are going to make relatively little difference for most shots (although it can have a more substantial affect on some shots too). Where the tiny size differences do make a really big difference though, which in turn totally justifies the...

I agree that (the within set variation) is certainly the more important of the two and is what should at the very least be done to a more precise tolerance somewhere closer to +/- .1 ounces or so. I still think that it should apply between sets as well though. Who wants to play with 5.5 ounce...

I couldn't find it at first but you have to actually click on "Members" to go to the Members page as the "Most Solutions" option is not listed in the drop down menu for "Members", at least not on the "Default style new" style view that I'm using. On a side note FYI for those not aware, your...

Of course you can go wrong giving a Joss cue as a gift. You really think Joss would be everybody's first pick? Or even that everybody would be happy with a Joss even if it wouldn't necessarily have been their first pick? Doesn't seem like you thought this one out in the least. If you really...

Not related to the OP's question, but I'd like to see them tighten up the weight requirements to 6 ounces with a tolerance of ±.1 ounce or similar. Having it be a range from 5.5 to 6 ounces just seems like an awfully big unnecessary spread. Not that we we often see that much variance within a...

Looks like mnb is right, Myron Yoshizawa from Riverside, California. Here is a link to the one or a similar one to the one fjk posted. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/myron-custom-sneaky-pete-pool-cue-109461738

I would add that something he should know, if he doesn't have a lot of one pocket experience as is often the case with Europeans, is that knowledge plays an over-sized role in one pocket compared to most other games. Knowledgeable one pocket players that he would crush in 9 ball will often be...

The simple answer is yes, it more or less is as simple as that if/when everybody has the same drive and is putting the same efforts into their game. But not everybody has the same drive and is putting the same efforts into their game in the real world, which sometimes (but not always) allows...

FYI, the reason James White is being recommended is because he learned cue making from Paul Mottey, eventually became partners with Paul for many years in their now joint partnership cue making business together, and then when Paul retired he bought out the rest of Paul's share in the business...

Add me to the list of those that agree that buying a cue for someone whose pool cue tastes you don't know extremely well (and you would also have to have a very strong working knowledge of all the differences in cues and all the different specs that are important and available), especially if...

Sounds like comprehension and logic isn't your strong suit actually. I was talking about this generation, or any other for that matter. If you are past college age and you can't get better than a burger flipping or minimum wage Walmart job then you are either mentally disabled, or some...

You had asked "is there any price point paid at which you’d demand the maker repair or replace this cue (bleeding points and scratches), or which you’d say it’s ok as is?". Essentially what I was saying was that it is either acceptable or not for anything in the general price range of what you...

Due to the cost of living, crime, too many nutters, major traffic issues, etc, about the only larger metro area in California that has a decent pool scene and that a person might actually want to live would seem to be Sacramento in my opinion, and in Colorado the only area that has any decent...

If you have already played a good amount on 7 and 8 foot tables then you have a good feel for how much you would or would not actually dislike those, and if not then make it a point to go out and play on each so you can truly find out. You can't just play a couple of games on them to get a true...

As others have explained ebony comes with varying amounts of brownish grain pattern ranging from essentially none at all to a ton although it is generally both preferred and expected that it appears to be black and not show any grain except in pretty bright light unless otherwise noted or you...

What a load of hogwash. Entry level Walmart and fast food positions and the like are the domain of the very young (college age and below), or the irresponsible and lazy. If you are much older than that and that is the best you can do for a job, then unless you are mentally disabled it is...
