I seriously hate you, Jimmy. And by hate I mean jealous. :grin-square: Your Gina collection is in rarefied air, my friend. And another beast takes its place in the stable. :thumbup:

I have one and like it. Jumps as well as other more expensive cues I've tried. For me anyway.

I guess I do both. I play league every week and yes we try to be competitive, but it's also social. Call it my night out so to speak. I wouldn't play in this league if I didn't enjoy the fellowship and sportsmanship of my teammates and most everyone in the league. But I also play tournaments...

Yeah, but on 9 inch or 7 inch tables?

Mike, are you saying you're in favor professional pool, especially for what would be considered a major championship, going to bar boxes?

US Open 8/10 Ball Championships are back... No they're not. Not if they're being contested on bar boxes. I don't get it but hey, no one consulted me, LOL! I've got mad respect for MG and CSI, but huh, what now? Aside from the table size issue, it seems to me that this only dilutes the USBTC...

I hear moose leather makes for really good tips. And they should be pretty cheap up your way. Other than that, I'm not big on knock-off anything. Counterfeiting is a lazy way to make money off the work and ideas of others.

Thanks for sharing your research with us. Hopefully Mr. Bond will come along and share some of his significant insight.

This is a valid point, RJ. I've seen too many situations where the guy appears like he will shoot at the wrong ball but doesn't. Sometimes he's kicking, or sighting his next shot. And the angle from my chair might not be perfect to tell what's going on. I'm never really sure what the guy is...

I'd let him know it's BIH. Funny thing though, 9 time out of ten the guy that wasn't paying attention in this scenario will, after he misses, no doubt remember to tell you that you are now on two. :p

I had other plans this weekend and didn't get to even stop by. Was there a door charge to spectate this year? Last year it was $10, iirc. Bottom line for me is if I have the availability to play in the tournament, I do. It's the same with league. I do it because it is fun, not because it...

Just out of curiosity, did you include in the mailing a notice that announcements of future events will be via email and they should provide you with an email address to receive notifications of subsequent events? Would save you the hassle and expense of facing this same problem next year.

Not sure what you mean by "the wife would like to use it to entertain". If you mean a table that has some sort of conversion top to turn it into a buffet table, you could probably have one made for any table, including the Diamond. The ones that convert to dining tables simply won't come close...

I wipe. Have ever since I was potty trained. Don't know about if the tip will dry out faster but it's not a concern. I go through tips before they will dry out anyway.

It's a WPA sanctioned World Championship. I can't imagine it will not be played under World Standardized rules.

I was there and saw it. You ran 525. :thumbup:: :D ;)

Either do I, but I do expect it to be trouble free, preferably in hi def, and have audio and commentary. So then perhaps you can tell me if it's being streamed in Hi Def. I was planning on watching it tomorrow.

Well, I was going to ask if it's in HD, but if it's freezing and there's no audio it doesn't matter.

Not sure how it is in Australia, but here the Olympic coverage is extensive. The last one on NBC was on 3 or 4 cable channels besides the NBC network. There was NBC sports, MSNBC, CNBC and I forget all who else. We got plenty of ping pong and badminton to go along with track and field and...
