If you don't use stickies you can quickly learn to line up the balls even faster. The cloth will last 50 times longer. Or just accept that it's a practice table and the cloth is meant to be replaced every few years. Our club tables cloth last about 2 years.

I learned from my friend from New Jersey that when you see them walking out of the restroom past the sind sink to say "Hey Man!" And they stop and turn around you say "you forgot to wash your hands".... then you can say "you must have been daydreaming and were distracted, I do that all the...

Maybe I'll get them for a birthday present. I'll be sure to allow time for it to be made. At least it won't take as long as my southwest cues.... they are at 19 years now I think. The company won't be around long enough to fill a new order!

I see your point. It can be argued that the 7 foot table already addresses this issue. My 2 cents...You start out on the kids table and work your way up. We played on a 12 foot snooker table with pockets only about 3/8 of an inch extra space for one ball! It's really just perspective and what...

I think there are only 3 tables on the list Brunswick Gold Crown 4 Diamond Gabriel Make sure you get a table with 4.0 inch up to 4.5 inch pockets. If they are bigger you will just learn to shoot sloppy. (You can have pocket tightened properly with wood and normal facings or some people just add...

It happened to me recently. I told him, it's OK you can do it, but you will have to earn it. (Sure it can be embarrassing to lose or it could be nervousness to play someone that is better, but this is where much of our experience and learning happen). Other times when it's happened and I've felt...

I was just sharing the concept and glad it has recieved some good replies.

I really like Allen Edmonds for dress shoes too and Red Wing shoes for boots. I'll check out John Lobb thanks!

No, the point was simply to share the idea of using 2 different shafts with a harder tip on one and softer on the other for the different styles of games.

Sorry for the article. You don't have to read it. I thought some people might enjoy a little substance. Have a great day!

I'm not sure what the answer is. I'd say try to create a double blind study. Set up a couple of banks and a couple position play shots to a 5 or 10 inch paper circle. Use those round hole re-enforcers stickers to repeat the shots. Then don't tell people what your doing just have enough players...

When the measles first came out I noticed it played tougher. I was used to the red circle cue ball. The measles didn't spin as well. It didn't draw as well either. I've heard they are made "the same" but it's clear to me they don't play the same. All I can figure is maybe it has something to do...

For years (25 years to be exact) I've searched out the "best" tip for me. Thinking it was a mix of "quality of tip" and "personal preference" to finding the "right tip for me". The tip is so important to how a cue feels and plays. It's often argued that the tip is the biggest factor in the feel...

I have ridden my cue around the table like those old pony heads on a stick, more times than I can count. And making those click- click noises of the hooves. She is a good steed.

There is a quote in the article referenced and written by Cornerman here from the head of Tweeten Fibre Co. He said they only use water Buffalo.

This was great! Thank you so much! I have been looking for this info! Vegetable vs chrome and pig vs water Buffalo vs cow... thanks a ton.

Anybody know the history of cue tips? What was used during Luther Lassiter and Mosconi and Hoppe time? What was ernie putting on Gina's back in the day? What was on the first balabushkas? Maybe there is some knowledge in the billiards encyclopedia? Anyone care to share some history? Thanks...

That's were the saying "they are so poor they don't have a pot to piss in"... if you had a pot to piss in then at least you could sell it to the tannery. They would give you a few cents for your urine. They would use the urine to tan leather.
