    Anyone have one of these they are willing to sell? Really only need the butt, but will consider the entire cue if the price is right.

    Any news on the 2014 Jay Swanson Memorial

    Hi all. I've been checking for the past few weeks for sign ups for the Swannee, but I can't find any reference to it on either the BCA, CSI or CTS Tournament websites. They usually would have had sign ups posted by now. Does anyone know if it has been postponed or canceled? It's usually...

    WTB: Sugartree, Scruggs or Bluegrass Sneaky or Plain Jane

    Like it says, I'm looking for a Sneaky or Plain Jane from one of the above makers. Wrapless cues only. Around 19oz. Doesn't need to be in mint condition- just looking for something that plays well that I'm not worried about taking to a dive bar. PM with offers, pics and specs. Will respond...

    Anyone ever used Practice Pro Pocket Reducers?

    I just picked up a set of these things. Figured for $40 I couldn't go wrong, since I'd have to spend about that much in gas to and from the nearest sub 4.5" pockets. I'm no world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but these things make it TOUGH to run balls. First day it probably took me...

    Cues with a similar hit to Sugartree

    I bought a Sugartree new from Eric 3 or 4 years ago, and I fell in love with it. I like everything about it- the quality of the wood, the way it is balanced, the way it feels when I hold it, and the nice, solid feel when I hit a ball with it. It's been my main player ever since, and I don't...

    APA 6 vs. BCA Advanced level player. What is a fair spot?

    Just looking for opinions and I didn't know a better way to describe the differences in our respective levels of play. He is listed as an Advanced player in BCA. I'm a 6 in APA and an 8 in my BCAPL league (on a 10 point scale there). I matched up in a quick race to 5 playing bar box 9 ball with...

    Has anyone ever turned down a Sugartree shaft?

    So I bought a Sugartree directly from Eric last year, and I love the way it hits. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that I'm not crazy about the taper of the shaft. I have fat fingers, and when I use a closed bridge I have a little trouble with being able to follow through as far as I...

    Who's going to the Swanee?

    My entry is paid, and I can't wait for this weekend. From everyone I've talked to, this is THE tournament to go to in Southern California. So who else is going to be there? I'd like to put some faces to names. I'll be the big guy in the bright orange shirt that says "Give me the Crush". If you...

    Got my Slug Doctor

    So after having a test install on my table a few months ago, I finally got my Slug Doctor tight rack system. Since the test install on the table is still working great, I didn't feel the need to remove and replace the reinforcement dots, but like any kid I wanted to play with my new toy. So I...

    How good do you want to be?

    I've been wrestling with this for awhile now. A friend of mine is as into beer pong as I am in pool. He plays in their $50k World Series every year, and does well. He would like to make a living out of it. We were discussing our respective obsessions and he assumed I would want to make a living...

    Gulassy Orange Crusher Break Cue

    Has anyone tried one of these? I know it's relatively new, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on Mike's website about it, or on the thread that he started here to announce it. Anyone know what the taper on the shaft is like? Tip diameter? Stiffness? Is it more forward...

    TAR 19 SVB vs. Mika on Android?

    Has anyone ever tried to watch a TAR Match on an Android phone? The internet nazis at my work will probably fire me for streaming this over their bandwidth on a PC. But I have access to a few unsecured networks on my phone that could support me watching on my HTC EVO. I know it's probably a long...

    Lining up low on the cue ball?

    I have noticed a lot of top players seem to line up the tip of their cue with the bottom of the cue ball when they address the cue ball. They do this even when they intend to use topspin. It looks like they are going to draw the cue ball, or possibly even scoop jump or miscue, but then they...

    How to play the sharks when you're a guppy...

    I've been trying to find a way to approach this without sounding defeatist, or like I'm asking for a miracle, so I guess I'll just throw it out there. First off, I love pool. I've been playing seriously for about 2 years, and I feel like I am making a pretty fair amount of progress. That...
