Can use it every 6-8 hours 3 times day. There are several brands out there. A great retired baseball catcher advertises a rub. Ya can...

    What’s the Most Frustrating Aspect of Being an Aging Pool Player?

    At 77 I'm fortunate. Last week played a 5 hour match with a 67 year old. In pool you're sitting half the time. Eye sight still good thanks to contacts. No neurological problem yet. Bend knees more to get low. I know I'm better now since internet info has been available. Started when 14 and...

    No, Most people do not want to play pool on big pockets.

    LOL 130 players Your going to find larger pockets across the US win the day. A poll on AZ or similar type site will naturally want smaller pockets. I'd like to see some #'s from manufacturers on what they are selling retail.

    This transgender buisness has got me thinking

    I don't believe in the spot bs. Women should be allowed to play against men. It's not like golf. Like it or not the presence of women is a driving force.

    LOL the blonde got to me. Loss track of the concept. We need a Series to unravel. My money's on it happening. The bar scene, the addiction and characters shit I could write the Series myself. Been playing since 1957 through the pool craze. It was crazy good. Best life ever. Wine Women and Song.

    Thoughts on pool ,life and 5 inch pockets

    Yippee a voice of reason. Most tables I play on are 5" and I never walk away from these tables frazzled, pissed, mad, discouraged or the like because I know tomorrow I'll beat it. I never talk about an opponent because it's the table that beats us. Tight diamond tables are for Pros or people...

    New pool short movie on Amazon Prime

    From the junk on TV I'd say it would make a series or at least a short series. VG acting. Not enough pool to bore non players but maybe enough for support from players.

    Grip question
