I got my GF a Rhino shaft for Christmas. She's got a McDermott cue but she's been using my Meucci CF for a couple weeks, so now she has her own. That cue has a 3/8x10 pin, and I ordered that size from Rhino. She couldn't get it together the first time so she gave it to me, and I kind of...

In APA, it is specifically listed in the rule book as NOT being a foul. Had this happen within the past year at our local league night. When the other team captain decided to make an issue of it, I looked it up. Says that it is not a foul but may result in a sportsmanship violation.

We just played our weekly league match on the only Diamond in our area (7" table). Not sure, but I think the pockets are 4.5" as two balls fit, but they wedge and won't drop. The matches where my two 3s played had every game go over 10 innings, and half the games from the 4 playing went double...

It was always a running joke that people got Playboy for the articles, but there were some seriously good articles in that magazine. I remember reading an article/interview with Gary Gilmore when he elected firing squad as his method of execution.

I think you did, especially if you heard her say what you posted. If she denied saying it, there's where the water gets muddy.

I agree, and I mulled over fighting that for a while, but without any support from the seller, I didn't think that a wise decision. Even if I decided to fess up and tell them the real purchase price, I would then be admitting to tax fraud by listing a lower price originally. Just one of those...

Here's one from the other side of the fence: Way back in the early-mid 1980s, I was buying a used car. It was a sweet Olds Delta 88 Royale Brougham. Had those pillowy, velvet looking seats, and was overall in great shape. The car was in a nearby town and the guy that owned the car was in...

I've noticed that on the nights when I'm not on my game, those nights when the shots do not feel easy and effortless, those are the nights that I notice all these little things. I can hear the whispered conversations about which ball should be next, or whether playing draw or follow was a good...

Can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen this with our Bullseye Pistol league.

I had the Turning Stone live feed running whenever our TV was on and kind of like that he opens the commentator chairs to whomever wants to sit in. He had a young kid sitting in with his dad, and they did a decent job, and it was nice to hear them making their little bets on balls made on the...

Love those press-over tips too. Eventually every bar cue is 14-15mm.

What I noticed is that in the matches where Jason was down (not many), his racking seemed to be a lot slower than when he was running racks and his opponent slipped in a win. His first match with Gorst was a good example, you can see Fedor pacing at the other end of the table waiting. I guess...

I finally opened up the Dynasphere Bronze balls that I got as a Christmas present. These will replace a set of Dynasphere Tungsten balls that I've been using for about a year now. First impression when taking them out of the box was that I liked the sound they made. Pushing them into a cluster...

Lost the lag, let your opponent break, and then ran that rack, and the next four. I'd say that's a pretty solid set. Congrats, I never saw that happen.

Those words are golden right there! Can't tell you how many times I watch team mates work their way through the innings and bite my tongue on that last ball before the 8, only to watch them leave themselves hung up for the 8, and call the time out then. And as captain of our 9 ball team...

This made no sense at first while scrolling through the Funny Pic thread, then I started going through the other threads and came upon one with this title. Well, add me to the list now.

We take the ride to this every time, usually on the Saturday. Same plan again this year, although there is a snowstorm predicted for late Saturday into Sunday this time. We're only about 90 min away, so we're going anyway, but anyone travelling further, especially from the Catskills and south...

OK, you broke me. 😋 My GF ordered a set for a Christmas present for me. If you remember our thread conversations, I bought the Tungsten set and the altered colors weren't your favorite. Well I have had, on more than a few occasions, friends play at my house and get confused by those different...

That's a lot of time and effort. You're a lucky son, she's a special mom for sure.

How the heck did I miss that??!!!
