    Need a Ruling on Is this Unsportsmanlike Conduct during BCA Rules 8-Ball Game

    We often call safety and deliberately give up ball in hand to tie up or pot a hanger of the opponent's ball. or call safety and pot our own ball but we know there is no shot after so safety them and get ball in hand. Pot one ball, call saftey, get bjh repeat. People might consider it cheap...

    APA foul?

    I have seen many people get angry and hit the wrong ball on purpose because they dont like the safety. They know they will foul anyway so the do it in a way to intimidate the opponent. My buddy has a to short temper and will get angry at himself and just forfeit a game angrily if he is...

    APA foul?

    Sounds like they were were aiming on the 8b and then shot the 8b directly with out using the CB. The 8b also hit other balls still in play. In my league If this was an accident, and the 8 was just nudged with minimal ball movement than no foul and opponent has chance to reset balls. If this...

    Poolplayers and their pets(hopefully a feel good thread)

    I meet so many people and their pets when out walking my dog now. And i only ever remember their dogs names. Growing up on a small horse farm i have always preferred the company of animals. It is well known that i will visit people and end up sitting on the floor with the dogs ignoring...

    Vegan Pool

    A bit off track but .. I have a nice lamb skin winter coat and every now and then some dumbass will make a comment about inhumane treatment of animals. I feed them a BS story how it is ethically sourced etc etc. Then when i have their attention i tell them all you do is leave the lambs in...

    did you ever wonder.,,

    I can answer that one. You can be legally blind, but still able to see. 2 people i work with send all their communication that way due to poor eyesight.

    How do you guys handle the loud music at pool halls?

    If someone is playing gangsta rap over and over i will throw on the weird al parodies. White and nerdy, amish paradise etc. If i am especially annoyed at the crowd i will play richard cheese. Richard covers popular music, but a lounge singer. Steel panther is another goto for offensive...

    think I need deflection

    I realize that. I should have been more specific in my reason for posting. I was trying to say even an amateur pro needs time to adjust and even after do, they find they are not perfect with it. OP has not had the shaft for long, it will take time to adjust as others have said.

    think I need deflection

    My buddy bought a revo recently as well. We were asking an amateur pro how long it took them to adjust to cf. They said it took them 2 months of daily play to be consistent with all nearly all their shots. They also said the cueball gets away from them once in a while a year later.

    Haha. Thats happening in our bca league. We have new player that is serious about playing and learning but plays slow. She is making more balls, but a five game set is taking 1.5-2h. no one complains because she is cute and fun so it is an enjoyable 2h, but she gets lots of points at low...

    samsara are they good cues and how do they play ??

    Great cues. A friend has one and it plays great. Solid hit, neutral feel. Kind of a all rounder feel to me.

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Playing bca singles 8b. My last few nights have been great pool, just not getting the games. Talking max 3 innings, and close games. 5 game sets. Feels good to be playing well. And terrible to be losing still.

    Insurance for my Cues

    When i was looking into this, i spoke to my insurance rep and asked them if a registered business owner in the area who could replace the cues provide the value. They were happy with that solution. Documented with pictures and a description and business owner sign off on the values. It was...

    New league members

    Best thing to do is talk to the hall owner. Every league is a little different and it is not uncommon for multiple league formats to run out of a hall. Normally the league will have a base handicap they start players at. The first few nights the LO will keep an eye on new players to ensure it...

    Tascarella owners club only entire here !

    I agree. I also think quilted maple is a great choice being a tonal wood and pretty. I get people like birdseye, but each knot is a potential weakness. Likelihood of an issue is low though.

    Radial shafts not fitting well on non-predator cues

    If i remember correctly the uniloc is a patented/copyright joint. The company charges more for the joint pins, or they dont share the pin with others. Without the "official" pin it wont fit as exact. You can machine replica's but they wont be exactly the same as the production pins. I...
