As the title says. I'm traveling for work for the next week. Staying in the Manchester TN area. Who's local that want to beat up on a Canadian..? All takers welcome ;)

Received an email the other day from the local CPA (APA) LO. My anti-CPA opinion of the situation is this. The APA has crunched the numbers and have come to the conclusion that the junior program isn't resulting in enough future revenue to bother. ...or tax law as changed and they can't...

I received this in my inbox yesterday: IMO, it's a shame that the WPA won't play ball. What is traditionally thought of as The World Championship of NineBall will now amount to some secondary title in the profession that covers your bus fair home.

Apparently our national organizing body (Canadian Billiard and Snooker Association) can't find a location to host either a 9 or 10 ball National Championship this year...lol Not sure how that works though. Maybe they print some fliers and hand them out to people on the street, or I guess in...

I was going to post this question on their FB page but figured the odds of getting a candid reply were slim to none. Thought maybe someone here may have some insight. The Canadian Open Championships are opening up for registration (somewhat). However beyond the annual drama of a host...

Received an email the other day to reserve my accommodations for the event, and the hotel is ~2.5hrs away from the usual hosting location of Strokers in Palm Habour Forida. There are several pool rooms near the hotel (Wyndham Orlando Resort, Orlando) but they don't seem to be listing any as an...

So, for those who weren't following along with my table restoration. I ended up purchasing "championship tour edition" rubber under recommendation, before discovering my table originally came with Super Speeds. This new rubber was easily the biggest misstep throughout the project and can't...

I noted this in the World Cup thread on the main board but I guess most rather blather on about the best tip or joint pin. I finally had a chance to watch some of the World Cup and quickly noted the cloth wrapping method at the side pockets.... The fold above is opposite from what you find on...

So I did a search on the forum already and there were several threads regarding the cleaning of linen wraps. However they all seemed to be focused on a build up of dirt/grime. Unfortunately my wrap seems to have been exposed to some liquid. I imagine at some point during a league night. Must...

I just had a wx900 turned down by my local tip guy. I don't think he's ever attempted a cue build from scratch so I'm hesitant to call him a builder. Regardless, his tip work and the job he did on my player is fantasic. That said, the shaft he adjusted the taper on feels very porous. That's...

I've decided that my GenX methodology of mentally "sucking it up and dealing" isn't doing me any favours on the pool table anymore. Not sure if it's an age thing, but more and more I find myself actively attempting to push through doubt and just general mental noise during play. None of it has...

So, I have a table, new 860, and replacement K55 rails. What I don't have is a mechanic even remotely close to me that can do anything more than haphazardly wrap new cloth on existing equipment. My 4.5x9 table currently has dead rails, >5" pockets, and >15yr old cloth that I flipped upside...

Figured it only right that if we have a thread solely dedicated to the praising of CTE. There should be a thread that allows conversation to discuss the subject matter. Now I fully expect this thread to go sideways, and have rampant name calling by the typical suspects. All that's fine as far...

Ok... figured I'd give really understanding the CTE method a try. To be clear, I will not be attempting to utilize the system at this time. I have other things I'm working on and I don't want to either screw those efforts up and/or not give CTE it's due diligence. That said, I'm 11:40 into...

So since I've started spending some time in this section of the forum, I've been entertaining tinkering with my game. Not that I'm expecting some type of epiphany that's going to jump me a 100 fargo points or anything. ...but if I can gain a touch more consistency, why the hell not. I started...

So I've been lurking around the aiming forum for a short while now. Most of the time just skimming comments, because generally speaking I don't subscribe to any 'system'. That said, I do find it mildly interesting to see how people opt to approach the game. More often than not, after reading...

So here is the my most recent attempt at the 10 ball Ghost that I have also posted within the "Ghost Challenge" thread. There typically isn't much conversation within that thread about a person's game (or lack there of...lol), so I thought I'd openly request criticism from the forum and see...

Apologies... this forum wants to post the url as a media link. Just follow the FB link above Tyler 717 DJ 692

So my greatest struggle thus far in my 14.1 journey has been break shots. Not the shot itself, but putting together a tight rack and generating the spread required to continue my runs. My table is worn without question, and it won't be reno'd for some time. This lends to loose racks and...
