Tinfoil hats work better than block features. Don't u no nutin.... Jeff

I needed a laugh. I just got bad news confirmed today about surgeries coming up reeeeeel soon. Like I said, I appreciate the laughs, but please don't make me laugh after I'm cut and then stitched up......ouch. Jeff

I don't play league but I do wager a little here and there, so I'm no stranger to pressure. The money never put pressure on me. My pressure usually came from people watching. It took me a while to overcome that. I can understand where an APA 5 may get shook. Hell, none of us are unshakable...

Good point. I understand. When ONLINE I sometimes forget that we aren't always on the same level or at least close. I have a bad habit of doing that. I wouldn't strongly advise an APA 5 to play safe on that shot. Eventhough, IMO..just like the bank....people are making the safe out to be way...

I mostly play solo and have a couple friends that are ballpark 625ish speed. Those people, I'm not as worried about..... But.....ever so often I play with guys that are 690ish all the way up to 740ish and those fellows can and WILL put a pack on my a55 if I don't play very SMART. This group of...

If I'm playing someone in the fargo rating of 690ish and up....I nut em up. If I'm playing someone in the fargo rating of 400ish ....I nut em up. I guess I like to play safe. Don't know about the others here, but the guys I play with will stick it in your ear if you sell out.....then turn...

I went to the table and shot it several times and was able to freeze the cb to 11 ball all but a few times. Even the few that didn't freeze was all but impossible to get out of. BTW, I play call shot....so.....ram a ball and slop it in doesn't get there with me. I refuse to play slop counts in...

Ok....now I understand the "no safe" comments. I play call shot.....in EVERYTHING but 9 ball. So, if we are in that position and I put you nut-up to 11 ball .....you will have to call the ball and pocket...otherwise you give table up or attempt a safe. I refuse to play slop counts in any game...

Chest beating? Lol...nope, but I wouldn't turn down a lock either. Seriously, for ME....I win either way in that situation. Some people play stronger safes than others. I im not scared of a kick just in case my opponent did get out of jail but....in that particular situation they're not...

Damn, if we got a lot of cheese on the wire, you would be crazy to go offensive. If a person can't get a nut-up safe from there, they got lots of problems. Yes, the bank is not very hard but, the safe is even easier. That safe, I'll stick it every time. The bank, well....I may miss it ever so...

The stronger the player the more often they will play the safe. I can understand weaker players going for it because it's harder to play safe than it is to go for everything and sell out. I can see that not many here play 14.1 or 1hole very strong.....either that or they are just playing...

If you like Roku, you'll love taom. I switched from Roku to taom and experienced the following: Way less skids Literally zero chalk residue on cb and felt Way less maintenance to table and balls It last even longer than roku (I've been using the same piece for about 10 months at ~30 hours a...

Same here...... It was ok for games where I could clean cb/ob every so often, but it made playing 14.1 a nightmare. Also, the felt and rack in general had to be cleaned way to often. Nightmare for me. I gave three pieces away. No way would I do that to my equipment. Jeff

It's impossible for a custom cue maker to match a production company dollar for dollar.....cue for cue....and make profit. Pick a cue from pechauer, mezz, Jacoby, predator etc...etc thats in the price range of $400 and then ask any custom cue maker for the same cue made the same way with the...

OP, after enough quality time on table you will see that shot as a very easy shot and will be really glad to get it. As far as playing safe or not, it would depend on who I was playing. If I was playing anyone thats my equal or better I would for sure play safe... Jeff

40 years ago custom makers had the edge over production cue makers and that edge made the extra cost for custom cues worth the price. Nowadays, the production cue companies have a huge edge over 99% of all custom cue makers that IMO make the cost worth it....by far. Keep in mind that I am...

As someone above mentioned,........... "no bank, kick, carom, combo or jump shot "should" be considered as obvious"............. so, on any shot that is not obvious (any bank etc...etc), regardless of how easy it looks, should always be made clear verbally by the shooter BEFORE he shoots...

Oh, I forgot about the room owner part. Yes sir, in your case it wouldn't be an option unless you don't like money. Jeff

Understood sir. I currently use Magic Chalk when I'm in public rooms. When the magic chalk is used up, I will go back to masters chalk. Then again, I forgot that I've got BD, Kamui and numerous other brands of chalk in my pool cue cabinet. So, I guess I'll go back to Masters Chalk when all the...

If I'm playing safe, I call safe "BEFORE" I shoot. Than again, I'm a 14.1 player. I've never played a strong player that didn't call his safeties before he shot. On the other hand, I've played a crapp ton of weak players that would shoot and get a lucky roll and then claim thats what they...
