    Rails get faster when it rains?

    I know this sounds weird, but the rails on our 7ft. Diamonds actually SPEED UP when it rains. I always thought that when the humidity rose, the table would play slower. The cloth is still playing the same, it's just whenever the ball comes off the rail it's springy as hell. It's like a guessing...

    Moving to Arkansas

    I'm moving to Fayetteville, AR in a couple weeks. There's a couple poolrooms in Fayetteville called Billiards Palace and The Green Room. That's primarily where I will be playing. I might also frequent Beezer's Billiards in Russellville, AR. Are these home rooms to any AZer's out there?

    Video of a couple cool shots

    I was practicing jumpshots using english yesterday and happened to bring my camera. Basically, the object ball is on the end rail and I'm jumping over a ball and using right english to spin the OB across the rail. The video is only 3 shots, one from the first diamond (pretty easy), one from the...

    Hambone

    Last night I had a chance to meet Hambone at JOB's in Nashville. We both played in a small 8-ball tournament and played some 9-ball afterwards. He is a very nice guy and I had alot of fun. I'm always interested in meeting AZers to put some faces and games with the names. Hambone has a very...

    A pool movie I made

    Here's a link to a pool video I made. It's just me and some friends playin' 9-ball. The night footage was taken from cheap 5 and 9 ring games. Nothing real special, a few good break and runs, and a few real ugly runouts. It's pretty long at around 15 mins. Let me know what u think...

    Would you support an action section on AZ?

    Would you visit a section dedicated solely to action/gambling on AZ?

    Why doesn't AZ have a roadies/action section?

    Sometimes I visit the southernbilliards.com forums and my favorite section, along with most others, is the roadies/action section. I was curious as to why AZ doesn't have one. While there are some posters that don't agree with gambling, (and I respect their opinion), there are others like me...

    What is the best break cue? No J/B's

    What is the best break cue you've ever used? I've been thinking of getting a Mezz Power Break and have been considering a few others. I have a jump cue so I don't need or want a J/B cue. Any opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    And I thought Pool Hall Junkies was bad

    Shooting Gallery is worse. Aside from being the worst POOL movie I've ever seen, it rates up there with one of the worst movies I've ever seen period. I really got a kick out of "Tenderloin Tony". The meth-head road player with the "smooth" stroke. I thought it was awesome when they showed the...

    Heart?

    I see alot of threads on here relating to which player has the smoothest stroke, most powerful stroke, etc. I thought it would be interesting to see who you guys thought had the most heart. I know that to be a pro (or even above average) player, a person has got to have a lot of heart and a...

    Sidebetting Gratuities

    Hey everybody. Last weekend a friend of mine got into some action with a guy and one thing led to another and I ended up sidebetting on my friend. Another guy I know was sidebetting along with me. Anyways, to make a VERY LONG session short, I ended up making a few bills and the other guy...

    Reducing pic file size

    I hate to start a thread about this since it isn't pool related, but I wanted to post a pic in the "faces for the names" thread and all my pics are WAY over the file size limit. I would have asked in that thread but it's like 13 pages long and I thought maybe someone could answer it for me...

    How do you feel about this?

    To start with, I've never been in this situation but I've seen it happen a few times. Here's the scenario. Two guys will be gambling and one of them will be getting a "call" ball. Usually like the 7 or 8. The guy getting the spot will be on his money ball, say the "call 7" and it'll be either a...
