    Are any shots only possible shooting up on the CB?

    I hope not. Three cues is enough to carry around.

    Which rule book to go by?? BCA??

    I agree, it's annoying when outdated information is the first thing you find. I scanned the rules briefly and did not notice any anomalies. Is there a specific rule that has been changed? Around here most people play ball in hand anywhere on the table after a scratch on the break in 8 ball. I...

    That's one of those that coffee up so rarely you you have to admire the inventiveness.

    Are any shots only possible shooting up on the CB?

    A jump cue could work.

    Surprised at the "stickiness" of Fargo ratings

    Nah, Gorst played 18 games at 450 speed. Seriously, if any players performance can go +/- 50, then any match up could be +/-100. A few rolls here and there, that favor one opponent, and even equally matched players could still have a very one side match. That's an interesting example. I'm not...

    Carbon ferrule

    By normal i mainly meant one that slips over the shaft. How did you get the ferrule off? Even something as simple as a little different mass might change the acoustic properties enough. Yeah, part of the experience of the feedback, if the sound is weird it can be distracting or make you think...

    Largest Pool Halls in the USA?

    The only time I've really had a problem was when someone put on the Velvet Underground. I like the Velvet Underground but this was one of their more "experimental" tracks, and a long one at that. Definitely not what I consider pool shooting music. I try to be open minded but I do have a limit.

    Carbon ferrule

    Does the Cynergy have a normal ferrule?

    Largest Pool Halls in the USA?

    That's the bad thing about the digital jukeboxes a lot of places have now. Pretty much anything is available. I liked how some places used to curate the selection to fit the ambiance of the place. A British pub has nothing but British music, the local music venue had local bands well...

    Online Auction: Janice Joplin’s 1920s-Era Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. 9’ Table

    I always liked the rumor that Keith and Mick would go to the Bahamas once a year and get their blood changed.

    But that seems like a perfect way to describe what's happening!

    rare 15 Roman numeral set ivory ball

    Are these clay or ivory? I've actually heard one of the prime motivators for the development of plastics was to replace ivory in billiard balls.

    OH MY YOU GUYS MIGHT BE RIGHT Predator product specialist 11.8 HIGHEST DEFLECTION..

    Yeah, when I hear the term "deflection", I think of something ostensibly rigid bending slightly, like a column or beam. I guess deflection is also used when the path is altered but can a stationary cue ball be considered to have a path? If so, then any movement would be deflection, regardless of...

    Tournament experience

    At least a minute between shots. Often more. I try not to think about that stuff when I play and pretend like it's a normal amount of time to shoot. If I hook you good and you are weighing your options and none of them are good, I don't mind you taking your time. I don't have much problem...

    Largest Pool Halls in the USA?

    $10 Per day? Wow, that's a great deal! I think Hard Times here in Sacramento has about 30 tables. 9 9' Diamonds, 1 or 2 7' Diamonds, and the rest 9' GCs. Jointed Cue has 18 tables, 3 10' billiard tables, 5 9' Diamonds, and the rest GCs.

    Tournament experience

    I hate that. I lost in the league MVP playoffs similarly. I won the hot seat match and then had to wait for the losers bracket to finish, just to face the slowest player I've ever seen. He shoots a good game and he's certainly capable of getting the best of me, but sitting down waiting and then...

    Online Auction: Janice Joplin’s 1920s-Era Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. 9’ Table

    I think it's because by 27 these artists have got the money and people around them to indulge in increasingly destructive habits. If they don't get a handle on themselves, it's when the habits get the best of them. If you make it past that, you have probably figured out how to manage your...

    Online Auction: Janice Joplin’s 1920s-Era Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. 9’ Table

    I like her stuff but wholeheartedly agree that Mercedes Benz song is awful. 10-20K seems like a decent deal. You get to own a piece of history for (maybe) the price of a new table.
