Well lets eliminate the haters right off....yes this costs 75$ .....yes that is expensive....I don't give a damn if you think me foolish or extravagant, it's my money and I shall spend it as I see fit! Now on to the review. I have used many of the available cue holders that have come onto the...

Was able to purchase a BK Rush last week and am delighted with it, but not so delighted I would pay $1200.00 for it. Tell ya what....if anybody wants to buy it for $1100.00 hit me up.....I'll put aside the $700 for purchase when they become available again and pocket the $500 profit. Shows me...

IMHO and that of many others as well, the break shot is what separates the sheep from the wolves. Yes in all games there will come a time when a particular shot is critical....but the break is always critical. I've been reading reviews, comments from top players, insight from instructors, and...

I have been stumbling around various pool halls, dedicated pool forums, and such for better than 45 yrs. My game hasn't improved much....but my knowledge base has grown enormously. I'm gonna attempt to share a few "truths" with y'all. Some already know them, newer inexperienced players my find...

I know we have at least one member, perhaps several, that make cue cases. I'm looking for the guy that uses tubes in his and says he can jump up and down without causing damage to the cues inside. Any case makers please contact me via PM or use this thread to pitch your wares to me. Cost is not...

I'd like to go to a top level tourny to both see and possibly interact with the top tier players. I'd like to know which "pro's" are truely fan friendly. Those that will talk to, and offer "face time" to a real nobody in the pool world. I realize that the demands on time can sometimes be great...

I have read many comments on here about what is wrong with pool and about how it was once considered a gentlemans sport. Also read many comments about appropriate dress codes, behavior, etiquette, etc...etc.. I did a search on the term...."Dirty Pool", a phrase I have heard many times as a...

Reckon Lorider beat me to it but I would like to affirm everything he said and add a few comments of my own. Let me answer the predictable questions first. 1. Was it worth the money? It most certainly was, so much so that I am making plans to attend "pool school" next year in Texas. 2...

I would like to propose to AZ members everywhere the formation of a local tourney. This is what I'd like to see. 1: It will be named the "Pocketpoint Inaugural". 2: It will be a Barbox "8" ball tourney. 3: Scotch Doubles 4: Any league format rules that you may wish to use, or even local...

I'm trying to watch the stream of Great Southern and the screen just stalls out, then resumes some 5 to 10 seconds later as live action. Kinda frustrating not being able to see all the shots. Is this sort of thing normal for streaming live action? I've got a great hi speed connection and am...

I have a laptop and a broadband usb device that is limited to 5 gigs of download before it gets so slow as to be almost unuseable. How much would I use of my download limit if I wished to view 1 hr of video stream from the Hard times 10 ball event? If this question belongs elsewhere please...

I am going to retain the skills and abilities of Randy G. in Memphis Tn. this June. If you are a Memphis player with a Home table and would like to partner up for this tutoring I will bear $100 dollars of your expense in return for allowing the use of your table. As I understand it....Randy...

I posed this question on another thread but saw no response, so I figured I'd just ask outright. How are elephant ears obtained....do they come from legaly harvested game, deseased zoo animals, or 3rd world no questions asked providers. I realize India and some other countrys utilize elephants...

I would like to hear from any BCA master instructors that may find themselves in the Memphis Tn. area this spring/summer. I am interested in 1 on 1 instruction and would probably book at least 4 hours. Interested partys please send me a PM. Allow at least 1 week for a response. Thank you, and...

Are there any decent pool games available for download for a win 98 based operating system? If there are several ......which would you recommend as the most realistic insofar as play and reaction?

The other day I spotted a thread concerning cocobolo cowboy asking whether or not he had been banned. I posted in this thread concerning my experiences and personal feelings with and about cowboy, as did others. Someone even saw fit to slip me a few rep points for my post. I logged on yesterday...

I met a fellow at a local bar league tonight. He had a cue that had St. Louis Louie on the butt. The fellow in question said he thought it was an old meucci, but there was no makers logo to be found anywhere on the cue itself. I know...I know, pictures would help matters considerably but the...

I was watching the idiot box a bit ago and saw an ad for a new show on the history channel. The name of the program is .....SLICED.....and on the premier this Thursday they will be cutting what looks to be a valley barbox in half. This will afford those of us that are not table mechanics an...

several posts lately have concerned tip maintenance,selection,and performance. During the course of these posts reference was often made to reducing overall tip height. I routinely take a bit off myself. My method is simply sanding it on a machine table untill it is to my liking. I sand the side...

Why are there no video pool games worth a damn. This forum is perhaps the greasest assembly of pool minds in history. We have the scientific minds necessary for the programers to develop a realistic game, the pros that can critique playability, and a world full of youth whose introduction to...
