Wonderful dream you have there, and I can see the regulars lining up already. I'd like to see someone establish a pool program under the auspices of the 4H organization, which promotes student 'learning by doing', under adult supervision. I coached a 4H youth program for a couple of years, and...

I am curious what customer base you want to attract. With 36 7-foot Diamonds I would be tempted to say 'League Players". Are all the tables on time? Any coin-op tables? Are you going to be your own League Operator, or hire someone to do the job? I would hate to see some ordinary League...

Life is too short to sniff around assholes. Really great players can afford to be gentlemen pool players. Last time I was around Real Players Gambling for Real Cash, it was three of the coolest customers and true gentlemen pool players I've ever met, all playing One Pocket. There was Sylver...

Pretty cool to see Emily Duddy from 'The Hustlers" in the competition. She went 2-and-out. Only female I could find on the chart.

Like everyone else, I am in wonder at the beautiful set up, and I wish it were anywhere near me here in north Texas. I would soon be a regular, no doubt, if I lived close. Thanks for sharing the photos. A room with 36 7-foot Diamonds (or any other 7 footer) is something new to me. Is this a...

Insurance on valuable cue. Good for you. All others take heed - such insurance is rather cheap, can be had as an all-risks rider on most any homeowners or renters policy. I paid about 15 cents per $100 valuation per year for $10,000 worth of camera gear when I was photographing a lot, and I...

AZB has its own special cachet. If you are a pro pool player, you will get lambasted for everything under the sun, even not repaying guys who lost money betting on you, go figure. If you are a cue maker, any late order, poor communication, or lack of perfection in your work deserves at least...

If you think it is a clock-like device for calculating longitude it should be insured for its value, which I think might be rather high. The Cambridge Digital Library at http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/longitude/ has good information for starters. The race to discover and manufacture a...

I was so constipated I choked. Messed with my concentration. I was paying too much attention to The Hustlers on the big screen. Emily and Jennifer. Hot and hotter. Messed with my concentration. The juke box played Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama, all night long. Messed with my concentration...

Thanks to all who are contributing here. I used to be able to see BCA Nationals league archives covering many years back in time for both teams and individuals at the BCA website. Those pages are no longer around as far as I can tell. If anyone saved the BCA winning team and individual...

Powder. I don't use it, don't keep it around, but my buddy brings his own bottle and splashes it around. Afterwards I have to clean powder up from everywhere. It's not a show stopper, it's just a little aggravating. He brought his own cue to leave here. A Budweiser cue. Thinks he got a...

Assuming this is a fairly expensive cue that the guy in ignorance gave away for free, and assuming there are no extenuating circumstances, your friend should tell the guy the real value of the cue and offer to return it, or to pay a fair price, or to sell it and give most of the proceeds back...

Puckett always claimed to be the champion of Arkansas... ...or whatever state was one or two states away from whatever bar he was playing in. After cleaning out the bar he would explain "I said I was the champion of Arkansas". But as for real state tournaments, I have not seen any with a...

If my only knowledge of custom cue makers was this forum, I would be tempted to avoid going custom and just buy production cues. It amazes me the number of complaints about custom cue makers. Complaints like generally screwing over customers, shoddy work, lack of communication, missed...

Just some small advice to the Buyer - Your willingness to buy this cue, even after the negative attitude email from the Seller, and your willingness to go outside the PayPal Buyer Protection Plan (by sending gift money), is your responsibility, your fault. But I don't say that in a mean...

Paypall used to not even give seller the option of a return, they just sent buyer his refund money, and billed seller for that amount. So all a buyer had to do to get a refund (and probably keep the merchandise too) was to click on the paypoil web button "Item Not as Advertised" within 30...

I like The Hustlers, but I've only been watching for the last four episodes. So far I have not seen any first-hand info confirming a renewal or a cancellation. The Reddit post seemed like pure rumor. The guy did not provide even one Facebook link to confirm his claims. I hope the Hustlers...

The show sure brings out the haters, and angry guys, and people who claim to know for a fact that this little show all by its lonesome will kill pool quicker than bacteria in a Blue Bell factory. It is not as good as watching some great pro matches, or as much fun as playing One Pocket and...

An in-person pool lesson is a great way to go, but in the meantime Tor's website offers hours of video instruction, some free, some at a reasonable cost. The Zero-X website recently added the 4h17m "Secrets III - Controlling the Cue Ball" which is a great video for anyone playing 8, 9, or 10...

Looks like the 'scripted vs edited' controversy is now put to rest by one of the participants. Now, will someone please tell me where those horrible orange/red tables are located, the ones characters sit on when they are explaining stuff to the uninitiated. I want to avoid them, they would put...
