    Advice on breaking 9ball without a Magic Rack?

    Hi all, I'm playing in a 9 ball tournament where we'll have to break with regular racks. It will be near impossible to get fully solid racks. I can hit them hard, hit them soft, etc. I'm just looking for what people think is the best strategy when you know you'll have imperfect racks? I'm...

    8 Ball Rules Question

    Did some searching but couldn't find the answer. Is there a rule where if you shoot your opponents balls and then shoot another one of them before you/they realize the error, that you then have that group? And, if that is true... What would be the call if you did it on the last ball of the...

    Last Pocket 8 Ball Rules Question

    Hi, Was playing last pocket 8 ball with a friend last night and this situation came up. He ran 6 (6th was in a side pocket) and then missed his seventh and hung it in the corner. His 7th/last ball was blocking a few of my balls, so I played a safe (blocking any path to the 8 for him), but...

    Modified cue to accept Predator extensions

    Just posting in case someone wants to try the same. I've been shooting with 5" extension full time for a while, but it was a hack job using an old butt and some cheap brass joints. While in Vegas in March I saw Omega had these knock-off Predator extensions that came with the female threaded...

    Stain a shaft black with India Ink?

    All these new black shafts got me to thinking... Has anyone played around with staining a shaft with India Ink? I build an extension from ash that I stained jet black... worked great. See this video for a demo on using the ink; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On5NpF1P00s I have a few old...

    Fulltime cue extension really helped my game

    I played in a tournament over the weekend and in the main draw (96 players) I played like shit. Won one match to a lesser player, but lost 2 matches again people well below my level. It's a new pool hall with great, tight brand new 9' tables. Tough corners and tiny side pockets. So Sunday...

    BCA 8ball rules question.

    This came up last week; Player is shooting his ball. Plays the shot and makes the ball as called, but in the process knock one of his own ball into a pocket with his arm. (accident). It didn't/wouldn't have affected the shot in any way. Is this a foul? We ruled it was a foul, but the ball...

    Can you wash cloth?

    Probably a stupid idea, but.... I just moved into a new house and currently my table is 100% apart, so I was thinking, would it be possible to wash the cloth? (Simonis 860) ... and if so, how do you suggest going about it? The cloth is about 6 years old... under the rails it looks new and the...

    What would be your ruling of this foul?

    Interesting scenario came up last night. BCA League finals ... final match of the year... trips to Vegas on the line... Tied at 2 rounds each... over all point total very close, so the overall total will probably come into play. 17 point scoring system used. Player A missed his 8 ball and it...

    Heading to Vegas tomorrow and was just wondering from anyone already there... Is there an entry free? Lots of room? Any seating? Pictures would be great. Looking forward to checking out some of the Morris/Bartrum match tomorrow. 1 hour of "work" then home to pack :)
