    Let’s see all those pool Christmas gifts you got !

    I actually got a really cool gift from my sister. She bought us a small souvenir land plot in Scotland that grants us the Lord and Lady title. While it is a legal title because you own land it isnt actually recognized by the nobility because the plots are too small. It supports their land...

    SCHON QUESTION …..Do the new ones hit the same

    The older ones are highly sought after. If you like how they hit and want something similar go talk to Bob Runde. He made alot of the older schons people rave about. Everyone has a preference. I wont say the old ones are better, but they definitely hit differently than the new ones. I...

    I never use the diamonds. How many of you do?

    I use them for reference. Helps me find the mid point on the rail quickly for a kick or bank. I don't aim at them or anything, but they are definitely a measuring tool i use. I always find the mid point on the rail to visualize the cue ball path then shift the point in my head for the new...

    1 Shot Every 10 Players Should Know

    Well played. I know someone who likes to make shape the way you did in the first video so i couldn't be sure if you were serious or not. Second video makes your humour more obvious with the ramblings start the quiet contemplation of the stun shot. I have subscribed for more over the top...

    1 Shot Every 10 Players Should Know

    Great stroke. And shot. You say anyone can make that shot, but I think that is a shot for a higher level player. You are giving the low levels too much credit. A two/three rail draw shot that goes down table and back up to get position is not a shot many can execute. Personally, I would...

    Predator p3 with revo, should I buy?

    I have seen a few that come loose. The lock can sometimes be just slightly off and give a click when shooting. You will often see players with that pin check for tightness in the preshot routine. It only takes a little wear for the pin to not be quite as tight. It can happen with any cue, but...

    Question about a dufferin cue

    Roy is a good guy. He will help you out. When dufferin closed up he bought up a lot of the inventory. I got a nice ebony maple blank off him a few years back. Had it finished with a pred shaft for the wife. A great sleeper cue. I know the feeling of wanting to renew you first cue. Get the...

    UPS anxiety

    It is. We like upside down items. People talk about how much harder a 9' vs 7' is but you aint seen nothing until you tried to play on the upside down table.

    Hi new here!!!

    That argument happens regularly. Best answer i have seen is there is no best cue, but the cue you like best. Dont buy a cue off a new member. Measureman is giving you the best advice there, scammers around lately, dont do paypal ff. Make sure they have a strong reputation. There is an...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Last night of league and got both my sets. Things finally clicked. 5/5 and 3/5 ball count shot a 90/100. Should help my standing. Find out on Saturday where it ended up. Probably somewhere in the middle of the pack. Most likely just outside the top half. Going into the tournament on...

    Adapting to a (I hope) temporary visual handicap

    I have had one eye since i was a baby. Rare form of eye cancer. People are always surprised at how well i shoot. You lose depth perception so really close shots a chalk or two away are very hard to judge. Same with long bridge shots. Hard to see placement of cue tip on the ball and...

    Earl Strickland

    My god. You are the first person i know outside my family making a pecks bad boy reference. Kudo to you. We had "pecks bad boy and his pa" growing up. I bought a reprint for my mom a few years ago. What a fun book even if it would get destroyed in todays society.

    Earl Getting Paid

    I am not sure you meant player or plaguer. I love the idea of plaguer though ;) I am in agreement the individual making their own choice should be responsible for understanding the potential fallout of said action. And owning that fallout without whining. To claim Earls personal choice not...
