You were correct that the wait on a custom leather JB is likely longer than the website states. Mine took many weeks longer than the nominal 'custom' quote. But it was well worth the wait and the cost. I got exactly the quality and look I wanted, and was pleasantly surprised with both. I've...

I remember this guy from the Indianapolis F1 races years ago. (Not Andretti)

My favorite 'Yogi-ism' was attributed to him while watching a Humphrey Bogart movie with Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin some time after Bogart's death-- 'they must've filmed this before he died'.

Morgan City is a bit out of our way for this trip, but we'll keep this place in mind for future travels. Thanks.!

Close enough! I'll give it a look. Thanks.

Wife and I are planning some road trip travels. Will be in Hammond, LA for 2-3 days or longer if we're having fun. I Googled 'billiards' and found Shooters and Legends. Does anyone here have any experience with these, or any other spots for playing in Hammond? We're not looking for 'action'...

I'm almost afraid to ask.... but what sort of party??

No Rookies in my household.

Not on Waffle House menu!

I do this most every weekend on my Blackstone flat top now that I'm retired. Wife loves it because she doesn't have to cook for me and there is no kitchen mess.

With any luck, you can make your own!

Great news. Glad to hear you're back and hoping for the best for you!

This is good advice. I've often wondered why Lucasi cues are not more popular. I have several and they are very popular with visitors to my table. They are attractive and not overly expensive. I used them as my player for a time before I had my first custom cue.

For many years I owned, drove, raced and maintained a 1974 Alfa Romeo. I think about 2/3 of everything under the hood was 10mm. I'd be afraid to guess how many of those sockets were still trapped in there somewhere when I sold the car.

This is disturbing!

Not exactly a direct answer to your particular question, but a perhaps obvious observation: assuming the pocket size is the same, or close to the same on the two tables, the side pocket represents a larger percentage of the rail on a 7 foot table, and thus could be less forgiving. Your...

Don't worry about a 'special cue' for breaking. The only reason I don't break with my shooting cue is that I'm concerned about mushrooming the tip sooner with the hard breaks. Just pick up any house cue with a decent tip and fairly straight and use that for your 'break cue' .

That will likely impede your stance, but not necessarily impede the cue.

Shift change at NWS office.

Glad to see you back!
