    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    I just don't have the nerve to play for anything more than $5 a match. So I don't gamble.

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    Yea right. It's not totally a different scenario betting $5/game, lunch/game, than $500/game??? lol, it's all relative?

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    Some people fill billiard's desires with just friendly competition without money involved. I am one of those people, and don't see the need or desire for gambling. I can only imagine how many fights have started over games that included gambling, and broken friendships.

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    The closest thing to gambling I get is a race to 5 in 8b/9b/10b, for 5 bucks. My philosophy is I don't like losing my money and I have no need to win your money.

    Predator Cue Cases

    I like to carry my case on my shoulder via the shoulder strap. I've owned three Predator cases, two I bought brand new, and one was a warranty replacement. All three of them have sewn on shoulder straps at the top. When I put the case over my shoulder the strap tugs against the threads and...

    Pool Ball Weights

    I consider myself a decent player, and a rising 470 Fargo. I don't think I could ever tell the difference between balls of minute weight differences. In fact, I don't think many players could unless you're up near professional level. People may think they can, but I doubt they could. At least...

    Lockers

    I would never leave an expensive cue in one of those lockers. I have a nice playing cue from Cuetec at cost about $250, and also a break cue of similar value. They would be okay but I wouldn't leave anything more expensive.

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    Put the bulletproof soft into league play last night with very good results. No problems in any way. During practice I gave the tip an initial chalking then played 3 games without chalking again and still no miscues. I now have total confidence in this tip as a player !

    Predator Cue Cases

    I don't have any cues of theirs, but I have had 3 predator cases which have all had shoulder strap issues. The straps are sewn on in such a way that when carried on your shoulder would pull against the threads and tear off. Poor design. I have used friends predator cues, player, break, and jump...

    Predator Cue Cases

    Most Predator products you are just paying for the name. They have some good stuff, but it is way overpriced.

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    I was just downstairs using my cue that has a bulletproof blue soft tip on it. I haven't been able to notice the difference between it and a leather tip, no miscues and good action on the cue ball. I scuffed it up a while back and with playing with it for a month it is sort of smooth out again...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    I have a bulletproof soft/blue, and it has never crossed my mind that the color was annoying in any way. I sort of like the different colors, and I'm an old man. Like I said, the color wasn't even a consideration to me as to whether I liked it or not.

    Simple aiming system

    I have many higher-ups compliment my shooting skills, and I do play very well. My biggest issue is, like most, cue ball control. I do know when I shoot my best there isn't a lot of calculating going on about ghost balls and lines drawn to pockets, just pocketing the ball that I've done so many...

    Simple aiming system

    As far as aiming systems go, I roll on instict for my shots. They may help some other people, but it seems like the more info I have flowing through my mind for a particular shot the more apt I am to miss it. I like a lot of the books on mental preparation that try to clear your conscious mind...

    Taom chalk question.

    I think it's all about catering to people so companies don't get sued. Money money money, makes the world go around!
