    314-3?

    Didn't realize that Predator came out with a new shaft ... I guess I am behind the times. They mention that the new shaft has "even better game changing performance." That doesn't mean much without numbers to support it. Anyone do any testing to confirm that the new 3gen shafts have less...

    WTB Brunswick engraved beer mugs

    Sorry guys if this is the wrong place to post this, but I went to a store in New Hampshire years ago and bought a set of rocks glasses that were laser engraved with the Brunswick logo. I went back to that store yesterday only to find out it was out of business. :( I did a google search and...

    Question about red dot cue ball

    Recently I purchased an Aramith red dot cue ball from a major online retailer. Their picture in the description showed the Aramith hard bubble package with their logo and packaging. I received the ball in a poly bag with just a label on it, nothing to indicate it was from Aramith or a genuine...

    Great one pocket match

    I watch a lot of Accu-stats DVDs but this was the first time I was driven to come on the forums and encourage others to watch a particular match. I just finished watching the 2006 Derby City one pocket matches between Alex Pagulayan and Efren Reyes, followed by Reyes vs Jason Miller. They are...

    Balls are bigger near the numbers?

    I was just watching an instructional video and during the section about the 9 ball rack the person mentioned that the balls were larger at the numbers than around the rest of the ball. The advice was, if your opponent keeps making the wing ball, to rack the balls so that the wing ball has the...

    Interesting video

    To all you lathe fanatics, you might find this video interesting... It isn't about cue making but it has some old machinery in it. I know I enjoyed it. http://www.youtube.com/embed/BckZ4i1BzF0?feature=player_embedded

    Diamond Ball Rack

    Anyone know a retailer where I can get a new Diamond Brand triangle rack? I had no idea it would be difficult to find, but maybe my search skills are weak. I've searched the forums, and searching for "Diamond" even in titles, brings up a ton of threads. The only Diamond Rack threads I can...

    8 ball rule question

    I was playing Pool Break Lite on my cell phone and something odd came up and I'm not sure if the game is just screwed up or if this is an actual rule I had no idea existed. I was cutting the 8 into the side pocket and was going to put a little draw on the cue ball to avoid a scratch. I...

    Alcohol is an issue

    I'm sorry to toss this up as a post, but i feel like i have to, being a contributor to this site and a follower of most posts. It is sad to have to type this, but what do fellow pool players that are also heavy drinkers do to control their game while shooting pool? I love shooting, but for...

    Counting Cars pool table

    Season 1, Episode 4 of "Counting Cars", which is the spin off from Pawn Stars, had the BY FAR, ugliest freakin table I've ever seen in my life. The biker dude that Rick from Pawn Stars usually goes to for refurbs of cars and motorcycles has his own spin off, much like the antique restoration...

    Kamui chalk question

    I was under the impression that the .98 version was before the recall and that the 1.21 version was after the recall. I notice on Ozone that they are marketing the two versions as two different "styles" of chalk. Having never used it, I was wondering if anyone really notices a difference...

    Lathe question

    I have some spare time and some spare cash and was thinking of destroying some perfectly good wood. I know absolutely nothing about cue making but I love the idea of making my own cue some day. I'll start out by buying some books and DVDs and see what I can learn from that, but the question...

    Drills vs. tight pockets?

    I just had a thought after looking at one of realkingcobras threads regarding reworking a table... I have a standard "furniture" style Brunswick at my house and I love my man cave. I play out at halls and bars here and there but also love having people over playing on my table. When I'm not...

    Opinions on intended run out...

    Ok, I'm not a great player by any means, but I can't help thinking when watching this video that Thorsten wasn't playing "catch up" at a certain point. http://forums.azbilliards.com/video.php?do=viewdetails&videoid=70 What do you guys think? Start at like the 5 minute mark on the video...

    Comeback

    I went out after work today to shoot some games, played a set for a couple bucks against someone who is what you would call a "bad loser" As I won the last game, he came up to me and handed me the money and said "Here's your money, you fat f**" I looked him in the eye and said "Did you just...

    Opinions on my practice game

    I was thinking about how burned out I get on doing normal drills and how playing the ghost isn't really the best practice method (at least at my level of play)... so I came up with my own new "practice game" and I was wondering what the instructor's thought of it's worth in being an actual...
