Looking at buying a new cue in the $300 to $500 range. My choices so far are: Jacoby Coker Mezz Greg Sirca Joel Weinstock butt conversion From an appearance standpoint, I like the Jacoby the best. Opinions on how these brands play? Or are they all fine cues and in the same ballpark with each...

So I was watching a repeat of the World Pool Masters (?) on Billiard Club TV, local coverage, and I could have swore that the tournament highlights for WU had him winning and being the runner-up at the US Open. But when I go to the Accu-Stats catalog, Wu is not listed in any of the tapings...

Toss aside the debate of whether jump shots should be allowed or not. Which games is jumping allowed in? The two obvious answers are 8-ball and 9-ball. It also appears it's okay in snooker based on a video clip I saw from another thread. 8-ball - yes 9-ball - yes Snooker - yes Straight pool -...

Anyone run them before? Any good suggestions about them? We have around 10 players and you are allowed to challenge the next two players in front of you. We're are going to play for a set amount of time (couple of months) and then cut it off for a tournament for those that finish in the top...

Not the first time that something like this has been posted after receiving a lesson, so I'll go ahead and continue the trend while it's still fresh in my mind. This won't be a review of my skills at this point since it's going to take time to "train" these methods into my stroke (I believe...

http://CueTable.com/P/?@3AOgF1BAGU1CWEl1DaiY1EQcA4FOtK2GYIA1IJIR1JBgg2PMiA@ So sometimes I think I'm just a big dummy about certain shots. Here's a shot that I know I will try much too hard on to get shape from the 1 to the 2. To me, it's a three-cushion shot to get back up to the 2. Top left...

Not very good, I would guess. Here's a blurb that came out of our local paper: A chilly Boulder night couldn't keep former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from getting a warm reception Wednesday. "It's good to be back in Colorado, even in a snowstorm!" Albright told a crowd of 1,800...

Is there any suggested repair of a slight nick/tear in Simonis cloth? Such as something like finger nail polish? I have a couple of real small nicks. They haven't shown any increase, but I'm wondering if I should take any preventive measures. Also, I took off my foot spot last night, one of the...

So there's the ring game. And then a version of that in the Chinese ring game. And I've played a 15 ball ring game (5, 10, and the 15 were money balls). Are there any other good group betting games? I'm thinking of 5-8 players, enough to keep everyone interested without a bunch of people waiting...

Is there any reason to believe on a 2 year old Connelley model that was releveled and recovered 1 year ago, that the cloth coming loose of the featherstrip would not be the installer's fault? The Simonis cloth has loosened up on my head rail coming out of the featherstrip groove. There is also...

So what's the purpose of it? I see some pros warm-up stroke with the cue tip aimed low, pretty much on the cloth, and then raise their tip on the follow-through stroke for where they plan on hitting the cue. For me, I have to line up the tip for where I want to hit the cue ball on my practice...
