If it's a bar table the 8 ball can't be spotted. Also if the 8 was made it would be the last ball to come back up on the new rack as it would be last in line in the ball return. That sounds a little fishy to me, so I would tend to believe Bob more than Vic, but agree with the others that say...

It's right under the forum optiions bar. However there's also an "X" on the far right side that allows one to dismiss this warning by clicking it.

Years back Morley Safer did a piece on Jackie Gleason which had several clips of him playing pool along with the stories of him acting, hosting his own TV variety show, etc. He was often referred to as "The Great One", and at the end of the segment Safer asked Gleason's opinion of that...

One helpful tip I've read is to imagine one more ball on the table and play for shape after you make the money ball. This idea is also useful to avoid scratching after the money ball shot.

Nice looking, but in my opinion the design promotes chalking in a manner that wears out the center and neglects the otherwise useful portions of the cube. Not to mention possibly turning most of your ferrule blue or whatever color your chalk may be.

Blue Diamond. A quarter of the way down I peeled the paper off entirely and ground the edges down so I now have a flat surface. Wrapped plastic tape around the outside edges to fit. Still on the first of the two cubes bought together some years ago. I suspect the manufacturers putting a dimple...

Had one from their site a couple years ago. When it arrived the forearm was bent. Can't see that in the pics so ask before you bid. It played nice but the bend bothered me enough to pass it on. Came in a great case tho so I kept that as it's the best one I have presently.

Okay, I bought the Last Forever tool thinking it would be a one step solution but for whatever reason the very center of the tip would still not come into contact with the tool. I even tried using the nickle side thinking that would work. Eventually it did but I was taking too much material off...

I already explained that. It works perfect for me, you do it your way however you want.

I start with the Last Forever on the dime side, rotating the shaft between each stroke, then switch over to the Williard dime to finish while holding the shaft at an angle to reach the very center of the tip. Before buying the Last Forever combo tool I used the same procedure GJ described with...

If not for 66 you would have been the possible poster boy for the definition of insanity. Great stuff, I watched both. Your other options for Tyler's shot were very creative. I might have tried hopping the cue ball off the near long rail, but that may have taken me 66 tries. BTW, after your...

I've used overgrips made for tennis rackets. They feel nice when new but eventually have to be changed because they get dirty and the tackiness wears off. I do agree they stick to the inside of the case which is annoying.

I play both, study chess almost every day. Pool not as much. Youtube has helped me improve in both. If I lose in pool, it may be because I was hooked, a lucky shot fell for my opponent, or he is just a better player than I. The opposite is also true. Pool is a fun game and occasionally I can...

Mark Twain was my recollection.

Me too.

You got me, yes it is. :)

Masters on my breaker. Blue Diamond on my player. 2 to 5 swipes and always away from the table.

Pretty much, which is why I play 10 ball if given a choice.

Corey D. plays at times with a cue sleeve. Small tube shaped (cloth?) material he leaves on his cue and holds in his closed bridge. The cue slides through the sleeve and his hand never touches the wood. Not sure if it's because of humidity, but it was interesting to watch.

I do it more as an aiming aid. I may or may not do the warm up strokes each time but when kicking or banking I hold the cue on maybe a 45 degree angle in front of me to see known lines from pocket to diamonds and then with my cue still in position I parallel shift to the cue ball and take the...
