Granted this is an often talked about behavior and sadly becoming more prevalent within local rooms. So I decided to play a guy whose just a little gear over my head [ in 9 ball anyway] for some 20 a game one pocket which is what we classify as cheap action. Anyway we start the discussion...

I recently picked up a schon that I love, and its nothing fancy or even truly a high priced cue, a few of you have seen me mention picking up this cue. Anyway i finally got the time to settle in and take a few pics of it last night, and decided to upload em. It's an STL-9 as far as I can...

So after three years of dedicated playing, and swapping cues and selling and buying pool items more often than a woman buy's shoes i've decided to give it a go at making my own cues. I do understand the process, i've watched and worked on shafts before. I don't expect my first cue or even my...

Sad to say this, and some of you may not be affected. J.T. Hayes was found dead in his home yesterday. No details have leaked out as to Cause of death. Just figured i'd toss this out here. Anyone whose ever stopped through north alabama from about 1980 until the present has heard of J.T. He...

A guy i know in the local pool room had one of his little fits of gambling everything he owns away tonight. He lost to a buddy of mine, so I picked up a [generic] 3x6 hard case, and a mike sigel J/B cue for 30 bucks each. The guy who won didnt want em, the guy who lost em was like ' oh well time...

I was playing in my buddies apa team, and I drew a player that no one really wanted to play, but I figured i'd give it a run at out running his 'Slam em hard as possible and hope' style. Anyway I jump out to a 14-2 lead in the first two racks. Anyway about the 7th rack we're close [ Both...

I saw more action in the local pool hall in one night from what I call "scavengers" that were begging for any kind of action they could get and begging for spots from all of us claiming we were uber league players. So quick question, anyone else experience this rabid turn out of non normal...

I just swung through the local room, wanting to see if anything was happening. Generally saturday's are active with some of the further drives coming in to check the place for action. Now when I say matching up this is just one of thos irritations and frustrations I have. There's a guy that we...

I've been practicing a bit more lately and I've started to notice one particular C player gambling quite a bit. I've noticed his pattern, if he plays with an established player in the room he immediately pays and runs out the door without any hesitation. If he's playing a 'non player' that's...

So i'm in my local room tonight practicing a couple of banking drills and the dreaded "circle" drill that we all love to hate. Anyway this local guy comes in, that most of the people in our room dont know but he's been around a time or two. He instantly walks up to the strongest stick in the...
