    Taom Chalk

    How can this be true on a masse' or jump or other shot where the tip touches the table? My concern is that if this chalk DOES manage to get on the table, is it staining of the cloth? Does it come up with a vacuum? Brush? Water? All of the above? I would really like to hear the answer to...

    Has the Parade Passed By

    I can usually run 2 of 10 racks in 8 ball, and 3 or 4 of 10 in 9 ball. Not necessarily in a row. If I break, I might win a rack or two if I am really on my game, but I have no faith I could ever string together a win against any of the folks I recently watched on the live feed from Al at...

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    The blue measles ball looks great! The old ball needs to be cleaned by hand with Aramith cleaner and elbow grease and it will clean up very well. Dawn doesn't really do a very good job on pool balls in my experience. Aramith does wonders.

    Discussion anyone?

    I have found that throughout most areas of my life, the harder I work at something, the "luckier" I get.

    felt cleaner

    We have a Miele vacuum for the house that has 6 settings of airflow. On the LOWEST setting, with an upholstery brush attached, it does a great job without ever lifting the cloth or felt depending on who you ask? :-) That said, if you use a horse hair brush, which is a great idea, make sure...

    Just curious?

    I had certainly hoped so... like you, I bought her own cue for her, and bought a set of "Mickey and Minnie" pool balls. She was never really interested though. Now days she wants to play occasionally but never seriously.

    Just curious?

    When my daughter was born I realized that continuing my addiction to golf would harm my relationship with my daughter in terms of time stolen by being gone all day for 2 or 3 days a week. I quit golf and bought a table to have some "guy time" that I could enjoy anytime I had a moment at home...

    Hi everyone... Legends just posted on FB that Jayson wanted to have another go at it TONIGHT! They are going back live because Jayson believes his is playing hot and wants to try to break the personal best he just set! Could this be day he goes to 500?!

    must be an idiot. lol

    Similar to your story, I played with a Tiger Medium for nearly 15 years! All the hoopla about tips comes and goes but as long as what I have is working, I just roll with it. I recently finally changed it out to a G2 Medium and have been very pleased. It may outlive me! LOL

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    Wow thank you for this information! Tiger comes in a bottle similar to Aramith so I thought it would be a similar product. I will look in to that today! A spray cleaner is definitely the best method for the CG machine the way its made

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    Thank you all for the many suggestions and thoughts on this thread. I restarted this thread after several years of dormancy to help me decide on a cleaner. As most of you probably know now, I bought the Clean Gleem because Diamond and Ballstar were both 3 to 4 months out in wait time and I had...

    Gloves?

    I play left handed. I have found that in billiard gloves, it's more difficult to find gloves for lefties specifically. I just buy the cheap regular gloves and wear them on the other hand. The only difference between right and left hand billiard gloves as far as I can see is the side the logo...

    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    CG 16 ball cleaner is a big machine. Very boring to look at. I was planning to paint it, but here is my more simple solution 😀

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    I'm sad too. Everyone says what a great guy he is. He promised to send me replacements 3 times and never did. I don't see him the same way. I still have the message chain but I'm not going to beg. Just will never do business with him and I recommend to others I know not to use his accu rack...

    What new Cue ball should I buy?

    I found these to be TERRIBLE! I bought a set and they left VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE Blue Spots on EVERY cue call I launched off of them. I contacted the owner on his FB business page. He said the problem was corrected and he would send me a replacement set. I reached back out SEVERAL times...

    #1 Myth in Pool

    Whether it's eyes, arthritis, a bad leg, stress from a divorce, a bad nights sleep, a cold, a toothache or WHATEVER, I find that most of us are MUCH better at making excuses than we are at overcoming our challenges with practice, lessons and hard work at the table. I know it's true of me! :-)
