Looking for something a bit different in a butt wrap. This is a skinny wrapless butt. Plain Bubinga so none too attractive now. I don't want to put something on that looks out and out silly like pink tights but looks aren't of primary importance. What I would like is something 0.05" to 0.10"...

Just got a texted reply from Terry Ardeno, a much loved member of the forum old timers won't have forgotten! Lost touch the last few years so that made my Christmas. To give some idea how popular he was, he was having a major surgery years ago. He being a rough and tumble guy with a heart of...

Cecil P Hall is starring in the upcoming billiard movie, "The Tale of Texas Pool", set to be released on December 25, 2024. Just noticed this last line in his Wikipedia write up. A nice Christmas present to all of us if it comes to pass. Hu

Seems like every time I fire up the computer lately I read somebody croaked. Glad to do a wellness report for one of the nicest guys in pool! Joe is in Minnesota these days, giving a few lessons, selling a few DVD's. Doing fine with the overall health and such. We have played phone tag a few...

Easy enough to find a small tip these days but then some shafts grow rapidly and a fairly fat shaft slides through the bridge hand. I would appreciate a measurement of CF shafts at 16" from the tip if you have a shaft with a tip under 13mm. How the shaft plays would be nice but for now a...

I was remembering how much fun it was watching the old "Legends" events on TV. Made me wonder, who would be the legends of today? Sixty-five or older, who are your picks as legends? The player should still have solid skills although obviously not the equal to their best years, and as...

A fun video I haven't noticed anyone posting. If this has been posted before I apologize. Forum mods and Mike, please give the whole video a look before deciding if this thread needs moving. Thanks, Hu

Eleven years old and he has power, touch, and absolutely no fear. Amazing to watch these kids tackle shots that would have most adults scratch their heads and look it over from fourteen angles before shooting. The kids just look at the shot, it is what it is, BAM! Hu

can you block replies when you just want to make an announcement?

This gets posted every once in awhile but I see it is posted as a freebie on youtube again. Slow start but not bad once they get to the pool table. Dick has a very nice basement set up! Hu

Giving it a little thought but I can't keep up with who is making what these days. Who is making the combination currently or soon to be? Hu

There are several versions of this on youtube. One has a commentator that needs to be turned down, this one has annoying graphics early and late in the video but the main part is very watchable. First thing that stands out of course is the boy is ten years old and shooting like he is...

Seems like I have seen this, maybe even asked the question myself long ago. I can't get a search to work though. I need to remove a G-10 pin. I have the standard 3/8-10 pin in a Bocate butt. It has an Ivorine 4 collar on that butt. I put the pin in about ten years ago. Almost certain it is glued...

I am noticing a much higher number of rub type double hits with the carbon fiber shaft. I don't know if the stiffer shaft isn't moving out of the way as well or if the shaft is passing better information to me. I feel rubs that I can't see or hear. I am using the Cynergy shaft. Anyone notice...

My cousin Chris and I were born one year apart, he being the elder. We lived on opposite sides of Baton Rouge but hooked up as running buddies pretty often. I was on the poor side of town, Chris was a poor boy that got a family deal on a house on the rich side of town. I had another handful of...

I think this fits the main forum for awhile. We have quite a few members that are or were in the danger zone. Some got hit very hard if they didn't flee. Also two of the finest tournament rooms anywhere with huge events got nailed in New Iberia and Lafayette. As a secondary thing it would be...

I want to give them a try. Don't have a good rack and I need to buy something. My question is if the magic rack is the one very commonly used in tournaments or are the commentators calling all template racks magic racks? Where is a good place to order the magic rack or an assortment if that is...

OK, there is no claim this has been a fair test more like first impressions. I have played with a flat laminate 13mm shaft for years. I whittled it out from a blank so naturally everything about it suits me, although I generally play with a little smaller shaft, 12.25 to 12.75mm. the taper has...

Years ago when I needed a case I was working on cues and might leave the hall with a cue or two or a few shafts I didn't come with. As a result I got a heavy leather three by six. Ain't working on cues, that case weighs more than Aunt Sally, and people tend to get the wrong impression of this...

A real blast from the past, I talked to Terry for hours today. Pretty typical if we are both free to talk. If we talk at all, we talk a lot. Might be six months and we will do it again. Those that have been around long enough will remember Terry as one of the really good people that made AZB...
