I mostly agree with the OP on this one. There ARE differences between tournament play and gambling sessions, though. In a tournamnet you have to come with your game right out of the gate and you get only one match to stay in it. When you are gambling you can wear down the other guy, you can...

Well, it sounds like everyone is in agreement that she is not a top player. Wait... was that even up for debate? She is listed as a billiards celebrity and that she is. They made NO attempt to pass her off as anything more than she is. I may even agree with the attitude here IF she was touted...

I must have missed something here. It clearly states that it is geared towards beginners and intermediates. It is a free promotion with the possibility of turning casual or non players into fans of the game and maybe more. What could possibly be wrong with this? I understand that there is a lot...

Let me just say I can't stand seeing talc all over the place. I walk into a pool room and it looks like sombody was changing a baby on the tables! I have seen so many "players" go to the talc and prepare as if they are about to do a gymnastics routine! I always wonder what the thinking is...

Yeah, I worked at Grover's for a bit. I had a pretty good Sunday tournamnet going. Non handicapped race to 4 double eliminiation 9 ball. We would get a small field, but some real good players. Richard Broughmpton, Hunter Lombardo, Curtis Kelly, along with some other good players. I thought it...

Yep, what he said. Some very good advice already offered. Loose ( actually, I would say relaxed) grip is a big help. Make a nice long stroke with a pause. One thing that Neil was hitting on is SPEED! The way I like to describe it is that YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CUE STICK IS...

Looks like maybe an older palmer or paradise to me. So, not a balabushka, but still maybe a very nice cue anyways. Jw

Wow. Monstermash, I was just about to reply to your posts, but after reading this, I really do not think there is anything left to be said about the matter. By me, you or anyone. The bottom line is mistakes were made, and you will be made whole again. End of story.

For the record I got my wording from the APA official Team manual. This is the complete team manual and goes a bit more in depth than the little rule books. The one I used is from 2003/2004. So it is a tad bit out dated. I did not feel that anything had changed in the areas mentioned, and it...

#1 APA rules specify that "The rack must be struck before a foul can occur" If the break is not a legal break than the balls are re racked and broken by the same player. If the break is not legal and results in a scratch, the balls are reracked and broken by the opposite player. So then an 8 on...

I don't think he was " aluding " to anything. I think he openly stated that he does not do all of the work in his shop. I did not find this as something to be shocked and dismayed about. Notice, I said HIS shop, I was alluding to the fact that it is his business and gets to run it as he sees...

Hey Mr Baxter You know, all this has made me realize ONE THING: I could really use a nice set of j/ps myself! So Jim, contact me and let's talk about a 2 pc set. Ebony/ ivory with a notched diamond inlay (uni loc pin) I am serious. I just thought that this thread was a convenient way...

Wrong again. For the record I HAVE read every word of this thread. I am not friends with Jim, and have never even spoke to him. I know that you have admitted to being very fussy, you own digital calipers, and seem to have plenty of time. Why did you not take the time to measure the rings on...

Okay , I think you are way overreacting here. You INITIALLY said you approved the specs and they were made to those specs. You being as nit picky as you have admitted to being, why would you approve specs that you were not sure if they were right or not? You only checked dimensions AFTER the...

Wow, very nice cue. The points could be a bit longer though:p I like my points to go through to the shaft:eek: Just kidding, man I really do like some nice long points like that. Good luck with the sale:thumbup: Jw

I love the ob1! I have a pre cat 314 , a 314-2, and a BK2. My favorite is the OB1. For the people who can't deal with the ferrule, I wonder if you could just paint it white? I know it is not the best option, but I wonder if you could just color it somehow. Royce, maybe do a model with...

Do you have a link? How much are these? Where can I get one? Jw

Okay, thanks everyone for all your help. I think I have enough info and options. I am discussing it with the rest of the team and we are coming up with the design now. They need to agree on something and then we will make the order. Thanks again, Jw

pm sent, working out details of sale Jw

This reminds me of when my brother and I were doing carpentry. We sent the new helper to the truck to get a square. Well, he was gone for a bit, and when he came back all he had to say was " I could not find a square, all I saw was a triangle". We still laugh about it. Hey I think your wife...
