    Vegan Tip Option

    Might be a good option for house cues. It's usually impossible to find a cue in the rack with a decent tip.

    Vegan Tip Option

    Should be human sized now.

    Vegan Tip Option

    A friend of mine was asking me about tips for vegans, and I told her I'd keep my eyes open. After not finding much of anything commercially available, it occurred to me that lexan has similar properties to leather pool tips, so decided to try it. I came up with this: I played with it...

    What Cue Ball are you using?

    My original cyclop cueball was getting pretty chewed up so I replaced it with a measles ball, but only because it was the only premium ball that I could find available locally. I'd have replaced it with another cyclop if I could have sourced one for reasonable money. No quality difference...

    Would putting my pool balls in an Ultrasonic cleaner be a horrible idea?

    If I had one I'd try it. Disclaimer: I'm not that smart.

    Pool Not Being Fun Anymore?

    I was going to suggest straight pool. If you're looking to make pool fun again, there's no cuesport more fun than straight pool. The zen you fall into when on a really good run is like nothing else in pool. Also, getting good at straight pool will improve your skills for every other game you...

    Brunswick bar box relocation and set up

    From what I can tell, the Brunswick Metro is just a valley one-piece slate barbox dressed up in a tuxedo. Should be trivial to remove the slate and move in 2 pieces. The slate and cabinet should weigh around 300lbs each, about 600 lbs total weight. Your carpenter nephew should have no trouble...

    Brunswick bar box relocation and set up

    There is absolutely nothing keeping you from taking this on, especially if your nephew is willing to help. Do it yourself. It'll turn out fine and will mean more in the end. I'd kill to replace my valley with that table.

    John Schmidt 626 video Nov. 21 - semi-public (tickets required) viewing

    You guys floor me. One of the greatest accomplishments in sport so far this century, and all you can do is hate. It boggles my mind. I thought for sure that this would be something the pool community could rally around. Shows what I know.

    2019 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Video: https://youtu.be/DEvWt1AC-kE Edit: Things are going good. Since this vid I've had about a dozen 20+, a 31, and a 36 that I could have extended, but tried to do too much on a shot. I knew better. The 31 in practice, and the 36 in game. Really seeing things well right now, hopefully it holds.

    2019 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Just ran me a 50, match setting, not practice. It's not as clean as the 47 I posted earlier, had a few sloppy balls drop, but I'll take it. Will try to get the video up in the next few days.

    Transgender's in Women's Pool League

    Well, what if? When they play, it will be at even races, and each of them should win 50% of the time. Seems fair to me, what's the issue? He's obviously a quicker study than her, so 6 months from now he'll be spotting her, which will also be fair.

    Transgender's in Women's Pool League

    No, you decidedly know more about the situation than we do. Small details like where this supposedly took place. You know, facts that can be checked. It's pretty obvious you're just here trolling, and you've done a decent job of it. You have all kinds of people setting each others straw men on...

    Transgender's in Women's Pool League

    You have been asked for proof. You must have missed the request. What City? What League? What is the name of the team of the players in Question?

    Leveling Table Without Leg Levelers?

    You could always make up a custom set of leg levellers that don't raise the table so much. Something that lifts from the side of the leg maybe.

    New rack both balls in the rack area

    You seem cranky. We frequently use a ball marker for ease of racking. I can't see any valid reason not to. Makes it much easier to get a tight rack, and eliminates the possibility of accidentally altering the situation.

    strange circumstance foul or not?

    Depends. Are you playing all-ball fouls, or cueball fouls only? We play all-ball fouls, and here it would be a foul. The equipment the player chooses to use is his responsibility, whether it's his own, or house provided.
