    Is removing your glove a shark move?

    Exactly. If the room is loud the whole time that’s fine. But if it’s dead silent and someone suddenly screams as your delivering your stroke it’s naturally going to be a jolt to anyone

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Or have Tyler not dog 2 simple outs on the hill and the match would have been 6-5 instead of 8-3 lol those two 9s he missed turn this from a close match to a blow out. There is no fix other then play better

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I’m 53 and when I was first playing 30 plus years ago there was a lot of custom cues being played with and now It’s pretty rare. A big one around here was joss cues. It’s only like a 30 min drive away. So many people played with one and now I never see one and if I do it’s a much older player...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    Do you think putting a tip on is rocket science? I’ve done it in a pinch and never damaged anything. Watch a video..take your time.. it’s pretty simple lol

    Todays Sneaky Pete cues

    maybe your young lol but the first sneaky Pete’s were exactly that. They looked like a 1 piece . I have one that I could put in a rack and you’ll never know. at some point they got fancy. If you put a collar and a butt cap on it it’s no longer sneaky just a wrap less cue. To me there is a...

    What kind/brand of Mechanics Level to level a Pool Table

    I’ve had it for 3 years .. I play every day and have been for over 30 years. So I’m not “most people” who get a table and hardly use it. Lol You can slow roll a ball in any direction you want and it doesn’t drift even the slightest. nothing is 100% perfect because we live in the world lol but...

    Fedor Gorst and the Viking Sponsorship

    well maybe your friend is just a naturally better player. A guy in our apa league who’s fairly new to playing was using a temu cue until I pointed out it had a snooker shaft. The tip was tiny as hell lol I explained how much harder he was making the game and lo and behold when he changed to a...

    APA League Question

    We played a team that didn’t even have to play a qualifier. It was the 4 best players he sent to Vegas for other tournaments so he put them in masters. Lol the first time I went to masters there was a league. There was just a tournament .. $125 entry fee. Winner winter Vegas. I was just...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    You know the biggest reason I changed from a fancy custom.. I don’t have to worry about it in bars lol if my p3 gets damaged and stolen it’s easy to replace . My monster Scruggs I had not so much. It was like taking a classic car out and worrying about where you were parking or who’s around you...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    But the $30 chalk keeps my table cleaner and works better. That rack does nothing better than a $10 one does. You see the difference. 1 actually helps a problem (keeping a table cleaner) .. the other does nothing.

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    I don’t know if you saw my post earlier but its actually over 1k because you can’t play 8 ball and 9 ball with the same rack lol

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    At pool leagues and tournaments I rarely see anything but predator and cuetec these days. The lower level new players will have a Lucasi. Rarely do I see custom cues anymore

    APA League Question

    I didn’t say it’s a bad business . It’s a great business model and I enjoy it but they act like it’s not.. it’s all about family…it’s not about money . Nooooo you bought this franchise and it puts food on your table and a roof over your head. It’s a business. Stop the nonsense,

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    You’re comparing a $30 piece of chalk that lasts me a year and a half to a $500 rack that something that cost $10 can do just as well? That’s a stretch lol

    APA League Question

    That’s what I said lol re read it 😂😂 And I’ve been to nationals twice for masters so I’m well aware how it works. To give you an example this year when we won to goto nationals our apa masters league fell apart and we almost didn’t have a league. They wanted us to drive over an hour away to...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    I’m not trying to make excuses but the ref needs it explained to him that crowd control is his job. You shouldn’t have the whole crowd screaming when someone’s down on the ball. We know the fans are disrespectful children during this event on both sides so they have to be controlled. And for...

    APA League Question

    It’s not just about skill level.. it’s also about money. I went for masters and we had to stay playing and our skill levels didn’t matter.

    APA League Question

    Even when you win you have to stay playing in the league to remain qualified. We won a trip for masters and had to play one more session because nationals happened about a month after the league ended. Apa is a business and it’s how they keep you locked in lol
