    APA Vegas this Month - Who is going?

    I have airfare booked, but no hotel yet. Was expecting Westgate's casino host to comp a suite but I waited until the last minute. Now the 27 & 28th is full. UPDATE: Just booked a "backup" room at Circus just in case...

    Removed the wrap on a vintage cue and found...

    A marker, to designate what the original wrap was intended to be, but it was done on a Friday afternoon.

    chalk under cloth

    Repurposed masks to stop chalk... Don't work. Do work. Double up. Stop using chalk. You killed grandma. Pandemic of the un-chalked. Look, it's a squirrel!

    Looking for : Samsara radial pin Butt

    Just seen this badboy on eBay. Seems very reasonable? The seller is in Japan but feedback appears excellent. Shipping cost is free/part of the price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225158109211?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

    Phenolic cue tips

    Could the red circle CB be softer than other CBs?

    Tip-Tapper Tool Discussion

    Yep, that's mine except brass colored. This makes sense. It also makes some of the contraptions I see people carrying around seem like overkill. Like the 16-in-one 'tip field kits' and such

    Tip-Tapper Tool Discussion

    Tip-tappers... Anyone use one? What exactly is it supposed to do? Does it work? Do they work on layered tips? Just curious. A solid brass tapper came with my cue case but I've never actually used the thing. The points seem somewhat blunt. Not sharp enough to rough-up the tip... I feel that...

    Cues that play similar to Southwest Cues

    This thread is ruining the mystique and allure of 15-year waiting periods and impregnated Narnian magic dust.

    Matchroom Hotels requirements

    Take turns sleeping in 6-hour shifts. Unless it has 2 beds. Then it's easier. If it's one large bed (King), two people could share. *Disclaimer: I grew up with brothers. *Disclaimer #2: I've never tried this as an adult.

    Playing sober, can’t do it

    A friend on my team tried these just a couple nights ago in an effort to drink less yet achieve the same "focus" while playing. She's pretty much an alchie. Ok, she's probably very much an alchie, and I have a sneaking suspicion she's starting to think I'm judging her holding it against her...

    APA Double Hit Rule

    Don't see a problem here. Nothing wrong with the ref explaining what constitutes a foul.

    APA Scorekeeper App - Multiple Leagues?

    So, to follow-up. I have better info... The LO for "S" hasn't "turned-on" any divisions yet. According to their FB post a week ago, "it's ready to go." No mention that it wasn't turned-on, hence my confusion as to why "S" wasn't appearing in my app, and the suspicion there was interference...

    APA Scorekeeper App - Multiple Leagues?

    Perfect. I will find out tonight... (Start time is currently a few hours out and "S" isn't showing yet...) Thanks. Will update L8er Seen a personalized license plate yesterday on a sportscar in 10' of snow that said "L8R HTR"

    APA Scorekeeper App - Multiple Leagues?

    Hello, I live in an area with two different APA leagues in close proximity and I play both. Let's call them " North Metro" and "South Metro." "N" has been using the Scorekeeper app for about a year. "S" just started using it. (BTW, it's the cats meow for scoring 9-Ball APA style. The paper...

    The only thing wrong with "Pool," is it needs watching.

    It needs to be 8-Ball. The game is more popular and relatable among the general public than all other games combined, x100. It needs good commentating, and good editing. Not broadcast live. Each episode should have a segment that features the player's backgrounds. It only needs to be a few...

    The only thing wrong with "Pool," is it needs watching.

    You'd have a winner if you could edit 8-Ball broadcasts to fill an hour (40+ minutes after commercials). It must have good back-stories and visuals. People buy lip-syncing in masks during primetime this way, they can sell this. The pool match itself has to be almost secondary. If the stories...

    Price for a used valley pool table?

    Don't spend over $400 and plan on sticking into it $6-700 to make it tour-ready. If you can get into it for under $1000 you've done good. Over that, not so much. :cool:
