    What is the most neglected aspect in amateur pool?

    I just dont see how you can attribute the entirety of the well being of pool on the backs of the existence of professionals. I promise you that if professional pool players ceased to exist today just as many people would play pool tomorrow.

    What is the most neglected aspect in amateur pool?

    I would venture to guess that most people that play couldnt name one pro.

    What is the most neglected aspect in amateur pool?

    Equating the health of amateur pool to the health of professional pool is silly. I think, yes, professional sports in general give a certain level of exposure to the sport but 99.999% of people that play any sport have no intention of becoming a pro. I never played golf because the PGA exists...

    What do you think of this for a random bar 'beater' cue?

    I bought a cheap Valhalla cue for my friends to use when they came over and it warped like a bow inside of one month. My son has one and it has stayed fairly straight. The tip it came with is ok and will be 10x better than most house cues you will encounter at a bar. Good luck I hope you get...

    A League That Encourages Improvement

    I dont believe this is true with "most" APA players. I'll give you maybe 50%, but I believe most of the people I play against strive to get better. Had I never joined APA, I would have never had the initiative to improve. Now I am obsessed with it and Ive gone from a 3 to a 5 in one year and...

    Felt came out of Featherstripping

    The cloth on my head rail has come out of the featherstripping about 6" right in the middle of the rail. Do I need to remove the rail and re-felt it or is there a way to do it without removal?

    Mother Drills

    To the OP, I had a lesson with Scott in November, and I can say that I have improved, but, there is no magic solution in this game. Believe me if there was I would have found it. I am a low C player and I want badly to find the magic potion to make me an A over night but it just doesnt work...

    Whats wrong with me?

    I tend to play up or down to my opponent as well. The key, I believe, is to learn to play the table not the opponent.

    Dress Code for Gold Crown Billiards, Erie, PA

    I see from their online reviews that they allow smoking. Smoking cigs seems like a much larger character flaw than a backwards cap, jogging pants, basketball shorts or work clothes. Seems like a nice spot but too uptight for me.

    OB shaft or Mezz Cue

    To hell with it, im going to buy the Mezz and if I hate it I'll sell it later. From everything I'm reading I wont be selling.

    OB shaft or Mezz Cue

    I wish I knew someone with a Mezz because I really want to try one. Im sure it wouldnt hurt to buy it and sell it later if it didnt suit my game. Will the Mezz play significantly different than a G series McD?
