Ditto. I have a problem with beavers on one part of our property, and I got the "nuisance beaver permit" to get rid of them. One of the guys on my 8-ball team keeps telling me about a friend of his that is "real good at trapping them". I keep telling him that I want to do this myself, and that...

This is directly from the APA rule book. I don't know about other rulebooks, and the BCA rules posted previously seem to be opposite to this last sentence in the APA rule, but in APA, a piece of chalk that does not touch the cloth is not a foul.

These pics were from a trip I made to Shreveport in 2018. I spent one Saturday fishing the Red River just below Lock #5, and this fish hit a gold colored Johnson Silver Minnow spoon. Biggest freshwater fish I ever caught. When I hooked it, I initially thought I had log or a branch, but it kept...

The Dynasphere Bronze set is less than $120 from Seyberts, and probably a few other places too. You can add an Aramith magnetic cue for about another $30, so the whole set would run right about $150, and work just fine in a barbox.. These are top level balls in normal, and customary colors, and...

I was out at the Westgate in Las Vegas for the APA Championships. Not only were the pool jerseys (or whatever you call them) rampant, but the vendors were selling them constantly. Here's an interesting observation, the two guys that played for the top tier final in 9 ball didn't wear any...

I happened to catch a match in the pro division between Earl and Bucky Souvanthong. Watched it live last night, and it's on YouTube now. Entertaining to watch, in that they missed some shots, hooked themselves with position a few times, but still played a few racks like the pros they are.

I'm not sure how the other governing bodies address this, but in APA, which is probably the base level for league pool, the number of timeouts is limited. Skill level 3 and under will get two timeouts per rack, and everyone else gets one. APA also prohibits use of a smart watch or earbuds at...

One night a few of the older guys in my weekly pistol league go to talking about their meds. Older guys, 70s and older, and they all said that when they first started taking the beta blockers, their scores got better. They say that those little tremors just went away for a while. I'm guessing...

A few years ago, the Turning Stone tournament used carpet under the tables. I think it also helped a little with deadening sound in that giant room too. I watched almost every top name guy/girl playing doing this before putting their shaft back in their case. For most, it looked almost like...

Enjoyed that, thanks for posting it again.

The other half of this situation, the part where he changed his mind and played a different shot, that is also completely legal. You're allowed to reposition the cue as many times as you want before you take your shot when having ball-in-hand. Now if he bumped your ball while placing the cue...

The firewood business is popular where I live now. And also quite a few logging operations, but nothing all that big. There's a few Amish sawmills mixed in with all the other ones. It's not unusual to see those big overloaded log trucks on the road. Never saw these things on this level...

Nice! I just bought a new battery for the enduro, which will be the first ride once we get better weather.

There's someone on here that has an Etsy shop for the one he makes. He goes by td873 on here, and he's had some threads and reviews her about his version. https://www.etsy.com/shop/OverThought3D

There was a channel going back a long time by a guy named Tim Dupree that was one of the first like this. He didn't do any commentary, just some generic music to deal with not having the music from the venue carry over into the video. His clips were shorter most times. Since watching a few of...

I have been watching his videos, and I like his off beat voiceovers. His, along with another guy doing similar videos, a channel called PDN, are frequently popping up on my feed. The PDN guy is a lot more laid back, but their videos are very similar, presenting what are regular league players...

Nice looking cue, and even better you like how it feels and how the hit feels using it. Good luck with it!

I've been trying this and I like it. Another little mental trick that I read here a long time ago, is to spend an extra few seconds down in position, lined up and ready for contact stroke, but wait those extra few seconds looking at the alignment. A definite longer pause before shooting...
