I am back and forth right now on sell, to fund a different tasc, or keep it and buy a second. I prefer to keep the 3 shafts together though.

Seeing other labs made me go digging for photos of my old girl. This is Autumn, my yellow lab who passed away in 2018. First is a picture of her sleeping on my bed under a picture of a lab on a bed. Second is her at 14. My parents had soft pine floors. She had to wear booties to be inside...

We have a private run bingo lottery. Players pick 10 numbers and as the lottery nights happen your numbers come up. It takes about a month to 1 1/2 months for someone to win. 10 bucks to play one line. About 150 lines played a month. I won the first month i played. People had been...

I picked other. I enjoy the knowledge that is here. There is a lot of pool history that i would never have learned or thought about if i had not seen someone post something i didnt quite understand and send me to look it up. I also enjoy most of the diverse characters here. Pool players...

I have used so called high end, and low end. Not a lot of difference if you have a good tip, and solid power transfer. I like white diamond tips. Using an original predator bk made 1997 or so i was told. Picked it up for 250 cad last year. One ding in the butt. Works fine. Buddy picked...

Here is my border collie hanging out in northern ontario this past summer. She goes most places with me. Any place that allows her.

Through trial and error i have landed on knowing my preference is a 18-19 ounce cue, forward balanced full splice with a maple forearm. The jury is still out on wrap or wrapless. Like most here i have cues that cost me couple hundred, and some that cost me couple grand. My main player is...

I have a unique question about ob ball sighting/aiming. I play left handed, and i am blind left side. When i have an opportunity to get comfortable i can sight down my cue fine. When the shot is more awkward, say over another ball or stretch i find it difficult to aim. I realize those...

I tried both draw and follow last night. I could draw down table regularly, with the pocket sometimes spitting the ball out. I couldn't find a follow shot that would work. Cb would come off the rail too narrow. Anyone have an example of the follow shot ? Set up the shot with Cb and ob...

Outside and some draw. Go 90 degree from 8 down to the bottom rail. Chance of bouncing 8 out of corner though depending on the corners.

And he doesn't need proof about felt denting. He has faith.

You replace a tip every 2 weeks due to poor chalking ? Are you sure your chalk isn't made from gravel ?

I did not see it posted and not a mistake as much as an oversight .. Playing only one game. 8, 9or 10 ball. Once i started branching out i learned a lot more. Only playing games. You should also do drills and practice shots. Many people never actually put time in for practice to learn...

I would back him. That way when he beat me i wouldn't be too broke.

Sugar tree full splice. Made from a Rounceville blank. Cocobolo/bem. Rings at shafts, joint bottom. This it has a hard, sharp stiff hit to it. People who try it get that surprised shock look. I try other cues and pick up other cues but this is the one i alway go back to.

I have been trying to figure what to use the cue extension pocket for, since i dont have an extension. I never considered carrots, but seems reasonable.

i play in a few leagues and the Electric chair for some league players actually seems like a good idea to me.

Replying to my own post. I am thinking of trading mine in for a full splice wrapless tasc. I just can not get use to a wrap. Love everything else about it. There is just something about a wrapless full splice though that i love.

My first cue was a canadian dufferin ebony full splice 22 years ago. Stupid me left it in the trunk of my car when i worked nights. Butt Warped. Started playing again 7-8 years ago, picked up a cheap McDermott that ended up stolen, met an amateur pro who collected and he gave me the custom...

Haha. You Nailed it , it is the nice guy syndrome. I don,t gamble because i hate to lose, but i also hate to take someones money. Pool is a hobby for me, not a job. I am often asked to help the low level players. My rank does not represent my knowledge and ability. I always help out the...
