well, in pool, like in golf, the only thing that is really important is the position of the striking implement and the path of same at the moment of impact. everything you do before or after the implement is in contact with the ball is immaterial. now here's the gotacha: good fundamentals...

i think there are two basic ways of looking at this question: 1) women's sports at the highest levels *seem* to be dominated by women who choose an alternate lifestyle, why is that? 2) the average man is threatened by women who are as good as or better than they are at any sport, therefore...

and yet, you reposted the entire comment and didnt replace the offensive terms...

Tony was in columbus for sometime, but he just (within the last month) moved south saying he was going to get married (atlanta, maybe).

ok, so i went to the local billard supply house and he had 5/16-14 pins and inserts which worked fine with my (6 month old) schon. soooo, either pin makers are making their pins a little small to fit both sets of cues or schon has moved to the standard size. to be fair, these were made for...

pins & inserts for a schon joint protector? so if i buy some "standard" 5/16 x 14 pins and threaded inserts, i can turn my own joint protectors for my (brand new) schon, assuming the following two things are true: a) i allow for the .530" pilot -and- b) my turning/woodworking skills are up...

so if i wanted to make some joint protectors for my schons, does anyone know where i might buy the pins? i take it from this discussion that the standard 5/16 x 14 threaded insert would work well enough, correct? i already emailed Evan Clarke to see if he would sell me a couple or point me...

what a great article, i really enjoyed reading it, thanks for posting the link. i *did* think it was pretty odd that almost all of the players were named, but the "twenty-one-year-old from Ohio" was only mentioned as "the ohioan" after that? it just seemed kinda odd to me. so i did a little...

wow, my son was watching over my shoulder and he justr kept asking what the heck is that... wow...

i just bought a new Schon and then picked up a second Schon shaft. i put a dime radius on one shaft and a nickel on the (otherwise identical) second shaft. the one i changed to the dime feels like it has a lot more deflection and i mis-cue on it regularly, the one i left as a nickel is much...

i hate... yes, you are right to be upset. your buddy sounds like quite the heel...

i think it depends on how people learn to play and what they want out of it... i learned to play on the table in my grandparents basement. needless to say, Grammy (although a fine pool player and affectionaly known as the fireballer for her penchant for firing the balls into the pocket) wasnt...

to the quote about a good loser being a loser, i'll disagree with that (and yes, i admire what Lombardi was able to do, and i suspect the UCLA guy was probably pretty good too) in an individual sport, some of the greatest champions are gracious in defeat. there is no shame in giving your all on...

wpba website down well, if you want to know if its a technical problem, go to this url: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp and put in www.wpba.com and it will spit out an administrative contact (Williams, Yvonne) and a technical contact (Network Solutions, LLC.) and their...

was gonna ask if you could put it in diagionally, but a quick drawing shows that you'd only have about 3' at each corner...

most common mistake... i know i draw a lot of analogies to golf, but i think lower skill levels in pool miss the one thing they can do just like the pros, and that is the same thing with golfers, pre-shot routine. i may not shoot like Johnny Archer (or play golf like Jim Furyk), but i can find...

sure they can, the question is "then what?" since US government agencies dont have the right to go storming into foreign countries to enforce US laws (present wars not withstanding) there is little that the FBI (or any other US agency) can do directly. also, since these scams often come from...

scam not necessarily (although it's always a good idea to change your password often), but they may have got him to download a trojan/worm/virus/spyware which transmitted his address book (or the email addresses of those he has received email from in the last 6 months) to their...

scams... dont respond, you would just validate your email address as active. that would guarantee thousands more from this scammer and many others...

well, there are a couple of ways to do it, most common one is to fake the mail headers and put a different return address in the note. so, even though the note looks like it came from user@goodguys.com the return address is really user@badguys.com. most mail clients have an option to show the...
