The blood makes you look tough. Tell them it is from the last guy who called you out.

Dufferin had a proprietary joint called glider joint they used on the nicer cue models. They still use it in the china factory for those models. Smaller pin, wood insert. I always liked that joint. Explained in this china shaft replacement. I still love the original Canadian cues with the...

The old canadian dufferin full splice. Hate that aluminum joint but love the glider joint cues. Still trying to replace the one that i stupidly left left in the car on a winters night shift. Warped the hell out of the butt. I have been looking for a replacement for years.

I believe our place do 10/table/hour. Cad. They promote league by offering league players 10$ flat rate all you can play if you come in solo or with another league player. 16 9fters. I will play for 5 or so hours at a time, spend 30-40 after drinks and tip. Sat-sun afternoons. A quiet...

There are some not so good deals. Most of the folks looking know that. And if there is scammer that gets posted. The community is pretty good that way. Feedback is king.

I believe any post in any thread on any of the forums puts it to the top so that People see the most active threads. I actually like seeing of the posts in for sale. I am not a flipper but enjoy collecting and given how unique and diverse the history on billiards equipment is i like seeing...

First league in since covid, and i am struggling to get back in stroke. I figured i haven't played in a singles in ages so i threw myself in. Bca, two races to 5 by ball count. I am ranked a 4, but haven't played any singles so owner is watching me. I admittedly should be a solid 5 and...

Great thread. Glad it is revived. I like a neutral to front balance, 18 to 19 ounce cue. I fine anything heavier feels more like bat and anything lighter feels like a straw. I tend to notice others and how they play. I also listen alot. Things that seem very common around here are .. 1...

Non jokingly i can speak to this a bit. It is very common in children to focus so much on something that they relax their muscles to the point of sticking out their tongue. Focusing on an important and difficult task can make you "forget" something like you just stuck your tongue out. At...

I use the same technique as Tony. I throw the cue ball against a wall, dive and shoot it at an object ball. Just be aware this really pisses off the other players and pool hall owners. Also dont try this if you have a bad back.

I have a bad habit of following through too far when stroking close to the rail and cracking my hand on the table. Caused a number of skinned knuckles and bruised fingers. The occasional foul due to moving the cue sideways when my hand hits the table. A couple times a year at least.

If you change the pin are you planning on changing the shaft ? Asking be Use i am wondering if you want to keep the same playability/hit.

I prefer a natural weight and full splice cue with a forward balance. I not a huge fan of bling. I have a few customs made from blanks. My sugartree was cheaper than any predator available. I was lucky to get Eric's time. Probably the best hitting cue i own. My tasc is more than 4x the...

I find the butt changes the feel of my stroke. Balance and weight is important to me. Some people can adjust quickly. But i am slow to learn a new cue. Keeping the same weight and balance point is key for me to remain consistent.

Like nathan said, if they are serious about improving they will with whatever they play with. If they are serious about the game and plan to stick with it, having a good cue to start that they like is better than hopping around brands. A low level player that doesnt understand deflection...

I only had a few PMs with him, but he was polite and professional. I have enjoyed reading his posts as well. Sorry to hear this. I wish his family well.

Roy is a good fellow. Only had one dealing with him, since it is a bit of a hike. I got an old ebony maple blank off him a few years back. Had it turned into a cue for my wife. He showed some of the partials he was working on at the time. Glad to hear he is still making cues. While it is...

If you are going to seed , I guess my question is why is it split usa vs world ? Why not just seed anyone over a certain fargo or seed the top 10 fargo players registered for the tournament. Then you should be great pool no matter what. This makes it unbiased, and doesn't front load one...

First thing i noticed. Along with the mouth breather face ;)

You mean you actually wear pants at your hall ?
