    What is a spliced shaft?

    Hula hoop ain’t dead! I just bought one, so it’s limping along I guess. They say white boys got no rhythm, we’re about to find out. I guess a spliced shaft is supposed to cut down on the possibility of strange happenings within a single piece of solid wood. Get several sections from...

    WWYD: Lame Pic

    Assuming no clear shot at the 1, and depending on exact angle: I’d either kick to stick betwixt the five and six, like coming kinda 2 rails and pushing the one out and away and using the 5 as a blocker. Or still go between 5&6 but try to clip the outside of the 1 thin and send the CB up and...

    Pocketing the white ball

    Haha. The five ball has been orange since day one...but a well known company released a set of balls where the 5 ball is purple and the 4 ball is (pink?) extremely confusing. These people are taking steps to bring pro pool to the world under their control - a mostly good thing- except for that...

    What Non Traditional / Alternative Games and Sets Do You Enjoy and Play?

    I’ve played this before except when you make a ball, you then have to make the same color of opposite suite. Like if you make the 4, then you need to make the 12 next. Black ball last. It’s a cool game and can be tricky for sure

    Lonely at the hall…

    Find an old harmless looking gentleman and accost him, challenge him to a game of one pocket. You may have to try this on 1-3 old men depending on your area’s pool makeup, but one of them should set you right and leave you frustrated for hours on end. Sometimes it’s best to lightly offend...

    Who is this player?

    I thought it was j roberts from the first picture, definitely not from looking at that second pic. I love this thread. It’s like a game

    Bring Back Hustling Culture

    With corporate sponsorship or the mythical ‘olympic inclusion’ comes wokeism, drug testing, dress codes, sweeping mandates. Some people’s dream, my nightmare. There is freedom in obscurity. Totally off topic but I sometimes wonder if we should even be looking for other life in the universe...

    What Non Traditional / Alternative Games and Sets Do You Enjoy and Play?

    This is what I practice almost all the time now. I finally got someone to play it with me the other day. There’s some safety rules mentioned online that I hadn’t picked up from watching play. And I remember Efren explaining some rule about what you can do if you don’t have clear line of sight...

    WPBA Aramith Tournament balls......$300shipped

    I got my aramith tournaments already, and for $ two seventy fiiiiifth. But had I not, I would take these ladies up on their offer. Way fair seems to be out stock on their deal. Maybe wpba bought out way fair for the event, and are now trying to recoup with little to no profit considering shipping.

    Break Cue Weight

    Are you still about the same stats? We should fight n stuff. I’m 5’7” and between 150-155lb. It’s perfect Set of 1P Set of nein bull 3-5 rounds of combat, like mma style or kick boxing. 2 min rounds, I’m terribly out of shape. Winner of 2 of 3 takes the cake. Minnesota, Whachu dewin...

    A new idea🤬

    You’re a physics thing. OOOHHHHHHH!!!! Funny article. The first sentence of the second paragraph gives it away for sure - “The number 16 ball has been rumored to be in development for years with fans speculating whether or not they’d ever see it” 😂😂

    tips sometime fall off

    My shaft is 12.75 so there’s always a bit hanging off with the 13mm. And sometimes the tip I want I can only get it in 14. I guess I really should make a point to get good at doing tips myself so’s I can just try new stuff out and not have to worry about paying someone or keeping a tip on for...

    WB tips

    Water Buffalo is my favorite tip for sure. I’ve got a techno dud I’m going to try out but if it doesn’t work I’ll be going back to the wb I never had mushrooming with them myself, sounds like a bad tip. Maybe they can go bad with time if they’re not stored correctly idk

    tips sometime fall off

    It’s the trimming of the tip once it’s installed that gives me fits. I’ve tried some pencil sharpener looking deal, and I’ve tried to cut it down by hand, sand it down with a dremel. There’s probably some simpler things I’m just not getting. I need to see someone do it by hand

    tips sometime fall off

    Annapolis is actually north of me but that’s the closet place people recognize. Phillipi is who used to do mine when he came to bankshots but he stopped showing up a while back. I did drive up to Severn once to meet up with him but it’s a hike. It might be time to invest in some equipment...

    tips sometime fall off

    Quick thread jack from Maryland. Anyone in the southern MD or Annapolis area? Who does your tips? Why is it so hard for me to get my damn tip changed lol I’ve never had a tip fly off but I’ve scratched up my ferrule and messed up a few tips trying it myself without a lathe.

    Truth about winning

    You definitely have to see yourself as a winner, or deserving of the win. I suffered from “scared to win” dogging it when I first started playing against other people. It didn’t last very long. Now I dog it out of complacency 😎 On a side note, I thought you were talking about an outdoor pool...

    Trump

    Damn I would be so pissed if someone snapped my cue instead of repairing it 😂 that’s crazy. I’ve heard snooker commentators talking about how some players were never the same after losing a cue. I don’t remember who but someone had a cue stolen and their game never recovered

    Bring Back Hustling Culture

    TL DR ; ) don’t mind my rant I got that 8th grade education locked down! I think that's part of why 9-5 work has never come easy or anything close. State mandated school is like training for the rat race, and I missed out on tons of that training and got to see what it’s like to be free...
