Of course the movie would be slow since the focus is one pocket ;)

Most likely. Pool cues are an items list of not allowed for carry on i believe.

He was trying the two way, and wanted to near the 11, wasnt expecting it to roll quite that good.

This is what a a friend left me last week in a game. 8 ball, i am lowball. He took pictures and sent them to me the following day.

Thats the thing Fran. Not following the rules is dishonest. And when somone doesn't follow the rules, they lacks integrity in my opinion. I agree entirely that people should follow the rules and do so honestly. That would be ideal. But the reality is many people think it is okay to not call...

I have had people, even opponents, tell me to stop calling my own fouls. I responded Winning a game of pool that way isnt worth my integrity. I know it is off topic for the thread, but that mentality bothers me.

I agree. When i see the pros pocketing balls, i tell myself this very comment when i do not ;)

Typically high quality, plain cotton tees. Size Xl, tall. Any color. I dont mind a shirt with a small logo or brand, but i dont like the sportswear material that most of those "sporting" brands use. Team shirts can be fun and an easy way to find your group at a big place. I understand it, but...

This explains how it helped me. Practice strokes stop before hitting the cueball. I find i am more likely to poke, or jerk back when doing a few practice strokes and not pausing, becuase my body remebers i stoped the previous strokes before the cueball. That pause helps me strike through the...

Wowsers. My wife loves the game, but similarly, isnt keen on some of the clientel. Prefers to play at home or at somone elses.

Count me in. I will give i try if accept canadians.

The first real present i bought my (now) wife was a good cue. I had an old ebony/maple full splice blank turned down by a local builder and matched with a pred 314-3 partial. No sticker on the shaft. The blank is suspected to have been an old trophy blank. Great playing cue. And i talked...

Our hall has a monday night league for handicapped bca singles. They play two differnet playerd sets 5, ball count. 40 person league from bca 3-7 handicaps. One of the busiest nights. Too busy for me, i like the quieter leagues.

Made me think of an old shark comic.

The cue should fit the person. If you have crazy long mutant arms and need a longer cue to have good fundmentals, for sure go with a longer cue. I am just shy of 6'. Over 6' in my work boots. 58 cue works perfect for me, outside a few stretch shots. At which point I use the rake. A...

I would say it is confirmed to be a bunch of grumpy old men. Not just viewed as. Still the best place for pool advice and resources. I learned more billiards history here than anywhere else.

I try to wait until a ball drops and/or focus on my follow through. Something i know helped a friend, he had is wife put her hand on his back, which reminded him not to jump up. cant do that in a game, but when practicing it help him get in the habit of staying down.

Nice. I dont believe the timeframe would change if you changed the woods. 12-18months is a pretty standard response, depending on schedule and the time he likes let things settle. I feel he may over estimate timelines with new people, and than finish early making everyone happy. Just a...

I prefer wrapless fullsplice hoppe's. Not many builders do their own fullsplice these days, but Pete still does. Full splice take longer, at least, when i spoke them last a number of years ago. Back than the difference was 1year for a full splice, verses 6m for a 4 pointer. I still...

I think the main reason people reccomend bca over apa is that it is more true to the ruleset and no hidden handicapping system. I prefer bca/wpa rules. Leagues have a place. I am not one for group leagues though. I go to the hall to play, not sit and watch other people play. I play singles...
