    Mezz sigma vs meucci the pro maple?

    Mezz, in all shafts, have a stiffer hit than pretty much any Meucci shaft I can recall using it. For deflection, the Mezz is lower deflection. For hit feel, I would prefer the Pro shaft, but that is my preference to have a smoother more natural hit feel.

    Funny Things Said to You at the Pool Room

    I have posted this before, and was not said to me, but to this day 25 years later it's still the oddest idea about pool I have heard. Two guys at a table, just bangers, one asked "what is chalk for anyway?" as he was using it. The other replied "Well, you see how some of it falls on the table...

    Predator Men's 10 Ball JAX

    I am 90 mins from there now, near Orlando, but was not able to go due to work schedule :-(

    Predator Men's 10 Ball JAX

    I was not a fan of the format at first, but it is much better than Ultimate Pool, and after seeing in person how the audience gets exited over the shootout, I changed my mind. Even the pro players gathered around a shootout to watch it. When they get to a highish number without missing...

    How many pool table can I fit in 2000 sq ft room

    Are you asking for storage? A lot, but would just be math also hehe. Just remove the space needed for play, and you can stack a few on top of each other also.

    How many pool table can I fit in 2000 sq ft room

    Depends on the size of table and other space needs. A table needs 5 feet around each side for decent space to play on, so say 15x 20 feet for a 9 footer. The rest is math.

    Mosconi Cup isn't on DAZN?! Please no spoilers

    It's gotten rowdier and more like a zoo, I am not a fan of it either. Best watched on mute LOL It's like a parody of Basketball or College Football now more than a cue sport.

    APA 9-Ball Foul Question

    A foul is a foul, scratch or otherwise. That is the factor if marking a dead ball.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    The cues people aspire to own now are Predator and Cuetec. Those are by far the most common cues and shafts I see people use, and there is really not much research past those two done for what else is out there. Probably due to how easy it is to do web searches and see ads online now. Years...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    That's the one that I was trying to find for my post, there's also one that looks similar but has a 9-ball rack attached to the eight ball rack.

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    They are a very niche market, very few players know about them (outside from the hardcore players like those on AZB), but they are good quality and were early in the CF craze. It's like being a collector of movie posters for Westerns made between 1960 and 1962. The few who do it are probably...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    That really looks like Ikea furniture, but if handmade I can see the high prices. However, I don't see a need for handmade IKEA products LOL

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    You should add some copper to it for good energy flow around your aura and to kill microbes like the dumb "medical" bracelets.

    Local stream live now

    I find that most players end up playing with a spot favoring the stronger player. The stronger player does not want to give up easy wins to the weaker one, and the weaker one has an ego that often will over-ride their pure logical side to get an easier game. I know many players who insist on...

    Pool.house London - from the founders of TopGolf

    The audience has to be lawyers, business managers, etc... who are used to paying $300 for a bottle of wine and may not even botther looking at the costs. Unless it's per table, not per person.

    Fargo Rate - Not Much Math Here

    They usually do that on their own as a nickname for me, Laser. I had a good friend who would always introduce me as "Laser", especially in pool rooms LOL.

    Fargo Rate - Not Much Math Here

    HAHA, my name is Lazar. When I enter tournaments and they ask for my last name, I usually tell them if another Lazar shows up for this tournament, I am buying the bar a round LOL

    Fargo Rate - Not Much Math Here

    Main part in getting to a real level that would match your skill at the table would be how often you play and the level of play. It all depends on you. It will not hop around too much once you have an established rating, it's not like the APA or TAP leagues where people can go up and down...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    Several gaffe racks failed that were also made to solve a non-existent problem. Aside from these, there was one I can't find a picture of, it was some monstrosity with both a standard and 9 ball rack attached to each other with a spacer to push against the end rail. Which of course prevented it...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    Too much engineering and cost for almost 0 benefit past using your fingers and taking a second of time. And not even close to the template racks for price and efficiency. Is the audience for this the same people who buy stupid expensive cables for their electronics or something? "Hey, you...
