    Cue Maker - Old brain can't remember.

    Good day all.... Having a conversation with a player cue collector friend of mine and I can't remember a particular makers name. He started off making one off cues and selling them in the 1-2k range, then changed his business model and started selling dozens on Ebay. I know his switch angered...

    Good day all, I've been recently trying to calculate mathematically which are better, phenolic tip vs. leather and light cue vs. heavy cue. After failing to come up with the right equations on my own I reached out to Dr. Dave, Colorado State University's resident pool math expert...

    Break Speed App

    Just a bit of info I recently came across. There's an app in the Android store, not sure if there's an iPhone version or not. It's called "Break Speed" and it's powered by Predator. It's $5 and it's pretty darn handy. I'm not a shill by any means, just like the app and wanted to share. You...

    My apologies (This is long and heartfelt)

    Good evening all, As the title eludes, I owe an apology to a TON of people on here. The last time I posted on this forum was a day or two before New Years Eve last year. Yes, 54 weeks ago. I was, what I consider, a VERY active participant in both this forum and many of the online...

    Funny Story, well at least to me.

    Evening all...I just had to share something that happened to me last week that was super funny to me and figured I'd share... My mother was in town last week and trust me when I tell you, she knows VERY little about pool. She's only ever seen 8 ball being played in a bar, ever. I needed to...

    Chat room stand up move

    Just want to announce that Christine De La Garza and JR Calvert just made a public apology to Old(pool)Zilla on the stream of Galveston. A new staff member accidentally banned him and they are sorry for that. I think that was a real class act stand up move on their part.

    Did I forget what "Sneaky Pete" meant

    Good day all....this is probably more a rant than anything else... I've literally, without question, been out of the game for 19 years....I'm REALLY glad to be back though. When I last revolved my life around this game a "Sneaky Pete" was a cue that replicated the look of a bar cue, but was of...

    Good/Bad Idea

    Good day all, In my quest to get back to "playing shape" after a LONG time I've been trying as many methods as I can. Drills, drills and more drills. I feel pretty good but I'm at an impasse. I'm ready for lessons and have reached out to a very well respected instructor and hope to have...

    Serious need for an instructor

    Good evening all, OK...I was out of the game for a looong time and I've been trying to get back into playing shape. I haven't played in an APA league ever, for one it wasn't around the last time I was playing seriously, but if I were to put an estimate on it I'd probably be about a 3...

    Handicapping an 8 ball game

    Good day all, I'm trying to get myself back into playing shape at the same time trying to teach my wife to play better. She's a decent shot shooter, shot making is a ways out. She's only ever played bar room 8 ball. I tried only playing 9 ball with her and gave her the 7 and the 8...

    Buying new set of balls

    Good day all, I've been out of the game for about 19 years or so....I haven't played with anything better than a bar stick and not on a table bigger than 8' since '89....but I'm back now. No longer being a teenager I'm able to pretty much outfit myself with the best equipment on the...
