What's your estimated fargo rating if the 9 ball ghost keys your car, sleeps with your girlfriend, and pushes you down a flight of stairs while laughing at you? Asking for a friend.

I didn't realize that, it rained the whole time I was there! At Railyard, though, I could feel the wind blow from inside the building, so I'm guessing insulation isn't their highest priority. Wonderful room, though, I had a great time.

Keep in mind it's an old building in Kentucky in August. Humidity is going to be a factor, I don't think the tables are going to play as smoothly as possible.

I agree, to me a bar box is a Valley table with cavernous pockets and a Budweiser stain (which I don't mind at all from time to time!). A mint condition Diamond with perfect Simonis is hardly a bar box, even if it is 7'.

Of course, that's why I referred to the other room as the action tables, the 9' Diamonds where the action games are played.

They have another large room full of assorted 7' Diamonds.

I was at Railyard Billiards recently, and the action tables are typical Diamonds, with 4 1/4" pockets. Unless they bring in something special for the event, I would expect it to be played on those. Louisville in August in an old building, you can expect humidity to be a factor, as well.

This is a really good question, I've always wondered this as well.

Dr. Dave is my hero, I'd have a poster of him above my bed (probably fully clothed, however).

Don't let the number of slots left in your bag stop you! Why have a sip when you can upend the bottle?!

This sums up my feelings exactly, except I still play with my other cues. When I'm playing to win, I use a Predator setup. When I'm playing for fun, I like to try a lot of other cues. Going back and forth may hurt my game in the long run, but I'm OK with that.

What the hell am I supposed to do at work if you guys don't have anything interesting to talk about?

Mostly true, but I'd buy that one in a second if there weren't other cues a bit higher on my wish list!

Give in to your anger. You don't know the power of the dark side!

The kind I've had a bad experience with was the old style Kamui chalk that was very soft, like makeup. I never used it myself, but I've played against people using it, and it leaves little bits of soft, sticky chalk on the table which are picked up by the balls again after being cleaned...

I really hate that stuff. It pollutes not just the cue ball, but the table also. Little bits of it end up all over everything long after the player using it has left the table. It really shouldn't be allowed in a professional setting.

I sometimes play with a carbon fiber shaft on my custom or antique cues. It's as if millions of old time shooters cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Seyberts has gone out of their way to help me on a couple of occasions, so I just go there first. I don't care if I can get something a little cheaper elsewhere, I'm willing to pay extra for good service and peace of mind.

I've seen some women's shoes that looked far more lethal than any pool cue, if weaponized.

I have a Coker which I think plays great. It has a very distinctive and solid feel.
