Delta for me too. Love the inserts and really they should come with the rack to use if you want to, but they don't. Frankly, they ask a lot for three strips of leather and it was a little irritating to me that they found a way to improve the product but chose to up charge for it rather than...

Guys smoked while they were shooting so putting a lit butt on the rail was common. Taking a drag was part of most guys pre-shot routine. Not only was it done but it was acceptable behavior that was tolerated by room management. That is probably why when Brunswick came out with the GC1 they...

Appreciate you posting this since I will be using this knowledge against you. :wink:

There must be something in the water at the DCC this year.

Good thoughts coming your way, Mark. Get well soon!!!

What does "scheduled" for payment mean exactly? If the money is there why isn't it already on the wires today? If the money isn't there, what difference does some "schedule" make? After all, before it was scheduled for Monday, February 2nd it was scheduled to be paid immediately upon the...

Here's something interesting from the WPA sanctioning catalog: Here's the link to the complete catalog: http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/tournament_sanctioning_catalogue

Valid point, it was a tough situation to penalize the players just to stick it to Barry. And there is also some tangential benefit to U.S. professional pool to have a sanctioned event in the USA. But surely the WPA had at least some awareness of the past issues with the advertised added money...

The BCA (Billiard Congress of America) decides which you U.S. events will count towards WPA points in the world rankings. Mosconi Cup points is nothing more than Matchroom Sport (a private promotion company) choosing which events will count towards inclusion on the U.S. Mosconi Cup team - an...

Is Dippy there?

Welcome to the forum. The feel of a cue is an intensely personal thing. Since you are interested strictly in a cue to be used as a "player" you can get hundreds of replies to your question and none of them will do you any real good. It also means, custom versus production is largely...

The conclusion I draw is they got the rule wrong, or at a minimum left out the word "NOT" before the word "frozen".

Cool, a staring contest. Wonder who blinks first. :D

Right, that is my thinking exactly. But that's why I didn't understand you saying it was the shooter that must declare it frozen otherwise it is assumed not on the rail. As the opponent I'm not going to just let him not declare it if I think it is frozen. I'd check and if I think it is and he...

Scott, not disagreeing with you, but I'm not sure I follow the logic of that. A ball frozen to the rail gives the shooter less flexibility of playing a safety so I'd think it would be more in my interests as the opponent to make sure whether it is or not. Now, a cue ball frozen to an object...

If they're as bad as you say they are use the Aramith Ball Restorer (not the polish). Then run them through again with a good instant detailer or either Novus or Brillianize polish. Diamond recommends Mequiars Ultimate Quik Detailer for use with their ball machine.

Unless VNEA has an odd rule about this, it should be legal to hit through the cue ball normally when it is frozen to the object ball because there is no double hit foul. Before hitting the shot you should declare the balls frozen to your opponent to give him an opportunity to look at it and...

Really, this is what your going with? Oy veh. :rolleyes:

Geez, how about leaving Manny alone already? Yeah, the guy loves pool. Yeah he has money, but it's his money. The guy decides to put his name behind a tournament and because he is famous and wealthy people come out of the woodwork with umpteen other ideas for their pet projects that he should...

Randy, I'll take the carbide 3 pack for $49 shipped. PM me with payment instructions and details on ordering. Thanks!
