I need to have two old skool maple shafts with ivory ferrules made up. I'm thinking 30" / 13mm. I also need the ring work matched (one is the standard 20 maple block Tad / JW ringwork). Who would make me some good quality shafts? The Tascarella shop could do it pretty quickly, but at $450...

Hello! I pulled a cue out from my case and the very bottom of the white Derlin butt cap seemed to have got stained from whatever material was used in the bottom of the case. It bothers me. I tried scrubbing it with a magic eraser. I'm guessing it removed a portion, but some staining still...

OK, amazing run. Now when is he going to play Filler or Gorst on a normal, smaller pocket Diamond? I'd pay to see a 1,000-point game. We need to have an undisputed 14.1 king of the hill!

I get it. You sometimes incorporate a strategy that is counterproductive to winning. I guess that's still considered a strategy. We agree!

Haha! I used to have an issue with kitchen chairs. It seems like everytime I came home there was a chair pushed out and not under the table. I kept yelling at the kids to push in their chair when they got up. Then one day I came home, walked into the kitchen and seen my pug with all four feet...

My favorite days at the pool hall were ring games with my buddies. Win or lose, it was always a good time. I always felt ring games were more social and relaxing than a heads-up battle.

Not to hijack the OP's thread, but I've don't have a FB account. Can I still view those pool related groups? I really don't want to open an account.

On razor thin cuts when the object ball is a fair distance away, I always use an open bridge further away from the cueball (helps better sight those shots).

You're absolutely correct, running out is always best. The issue comes when you might not run out. Now, if winning isn't your main goal, I would agree again; no need to think or use any kind of strategy...just try to run our regardless of how slim your chances are.

The time I'm about to get in a bar fight, I'm calling you. Those are two awesome tattoos.

I recall hearing Danny Diliberto was still hitting 100 ball runs when he was 80.

You do know that there are a real lot of former pros that fall into this category, don't you? They can still play because of their knowledge, despite their fading eyesight. Shot making is the first skill old age robs us of. They can still play; they just miss more than they used to.

Nope, missing damages confidence, gets in your head, and makes you play bad, completely different than your opponent playing well and making you kick (if I lose from needing to kick, I credit my opponent, not get down on myself for playing bad). So let me ensure I understand your viewpoint of...

Yeah, I agree; ya gotta consider your opponent in almost everything you do that's not an easy, routine runout. Here's an interesting story on that topic. Years ago, I regularly played a guy significantly better than myself. Not only did he play better, for some reason, I always played bad...

So who's gonna tell us the history on these 3' tables?

What kind of cue is that?

Those are very cool! What years are they from?

50k for a BLANK? I'd love to know what made it worth the extra 47 or 48k. I can't think of anything.

By the way, I met Mike 35 or 40 years ago. Super nice guy.

I'm thinking that loose grip helps. Shane has a weird cooked/ locked wrist quite often but can obviously do anything he wants with the cue ball. Still though, I am of the belief that a loose grip engages wrist action for more effortless juicing.
