    Stupid idea? Undoubtedly, but I might try it.

    Another method is to freeze a ball to the rail and place your cue ball straight out from it, a couple feet away. Shoot the CB at the center of the OB so it double kisses and returns to your cue. Move the CB back another 6" and repeat until you can do it x times in a row. Move it back 6"and...

    Taom Chalk

    I'm not colorblind but also struggle in some lighting conditions, to tell if my tip is coated well with V10. I'm a convert. The 2 pieces I have are still going strong after 13 months and only one piece is getting short.

    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    I've done this before but did a CYA and declared I was switching shafts prior to taking the new one out of the case or unscrewing my player.

    What a tool!!!

    Very wise, sir. Glad you are giving your kids the best chance at success. Savannah is more socialized than most on this forum. Perhaps she could spend more time with other kids but you can bet her education is better than if she was attending public schools.

    Do You Find Pros Playing 8-ball Boring?

    On a big table, yes. On a bar box, no.

    Improved ball marker

    I heard the children in Thailand work for cheaper wages than the children in China. However, they may not get the government subsidies Chinese companies get. China can usually sell at the price domestic manufacturers spend on the material alone. Small US companies cannot compete unless there are...

    Improved ball marker

    Pretty sure I designed one in CAD a while ago. I'll have to dig it up. I'm taking delivery of a cnc mill today in fact. The only product I planned to make for pool was a rack but I guess I could expand the line if I get bored.

    Another Farorate thread

    Pretty much the same here. Slightly higher fr but my B&R on diamond bar box 9ball is about 15% due to an inconsistent break. On my 9' Diamond, it's about 20%. That is the only place it's 20% however. It's my happy place where I'm most comfortable. It's more like 10% on the 9' away from home...

    Us 10 ball out of griffs ..nice reminder for the match room complainers

    I don't like 100 attention whores saying Hi from (insert wgaf location here), just to get their names verbalized on the stream. I understand when he's streaming from Hard Times, because that's a large group of players and fans from the area who most likely know each other. That stuff looks much...

    Us 10 ball out of griffs ..nice reminder for the match room complainers

    If nothing else, it may bring Hatch and Morris back into contention. We may even see Pacquiao and Rogan make their professional pool debut. ETA I didn't see your hill-hill prerequisite.

    Any Suggestions For a Break Cue Tip?

    I currently prefer White Diamond but you may also want to check the other recent threads exactly like this one.

    Cue rack with gun sights

    If you tilt the rack and break into the thin side you are less likely to scratch. If you break to the fat side you are more likely to scratch. I do not know if or to what degree a tilt will affect the spread.

    Us 10 ball out of griffs ..nice reminder for the match room complainers

    I appreciate what Collins is doing. Having said that, I wish it was more about pool than it is. Over half the "commentary" is BSing with the chat -which is annoying. Between everyone wanting to be acknowledged in the chat, and having a camera only to stream himself sitting in the booth, it seems...

    Predator tables

    I bought a new Diamond Pro-Am 9 footer in Nov. of 2022. It banks exactly like my previous gold crowns. It does not bank short at all.

    Us 10 ball Why the single elimination finals?

    Single elimination start to finish. The losers can gamble all comers or each other until the event is complete. No long delays waiting for the back draw to catch up, every match is for your tournament life, etc. Much better format imo.

    I received this link from PayPal about the IRS today.

    Wrong. The tax agency, in its long-awaited Strategic Operating Plan, said it will obligate about $8.64 billion of the new funding during the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, and that 7,239 of the new hires during those years will be enforcement staff. That number ONLY includes the enforcement staff...

    I picked up some hardware in Vegas!

    Awesome man! I was telling my pool friends here in TN that you were in the hot seat. Thanks for the update. AZ had a good showing. I really wish they had someone on hand to personalize the stuff. Winning nationals should have your fawking name on the thing. Congrats Eric!

    I received this link from PayPal about the IRS today.

    80,000 new ARMED agents was what this administration wanted. They have since given some ground and allowed some of the money to go to more worthwhile endeavors. I'll take "Things the dictatorship wanted" for another $2,000.
