Any one watch this movie ? B movie at best. But hey its about pool. One thing its got going for it that i have not seen in most hustling movies is that it givea a detauled explanation of slang words and saying used in hustling. Many i knew but there were some i have never heard before. Based...

I bought a becue shaft to fit my mcdermott sunday night. Like others have stated on here several times...i need a new cue like a snail needs air brakes. I have 3 team mates on 2 teams that have switched to be cue shafts on their existing butts and swear by them. One sold his revo ...one...

Last weekend the cops were called to the pool hall. Seems 2 guys came in refusing to wear masks. No incident occured since they decided to leave kust before the cops came. Any of you see such incidents as this at your local establishment ?

Last night i had the chance to play with a friends becue. I never shot a ball with it before the match started but It felt amazing in my hand. Odd to say because no other cue ever made me feel that way but i was shooting with confidence. Draw shots were more effortless than with the revo i sold...

So you think slop is a contributing factor in a persons handicap ? I think it does and here is why i say that. When slop is executed it extends a persons inning at the table resulting in more balls made. I realize that sometimes it comes back to bite them but some seem to have luck as their...

In 10 years of playing apa i thought i had seen it all but a shot last night will be etched in my memory forever. Faced a 6 in last nights 8 ball vegas qualifier. I am a 5. It went back and forth until it was hill -hill. I am going to describe the scenario the best i can.. I play a safe and...

Hope i dont make this too long. I am an apa 6 in 9 ball...5 in 8 ball. Last session was bad in 9 ball but this session is terrible. Downright embarrassing. 2 wins ...8 losses. Some losses are blowouts to 5's and even a couple 4's. My shooting is ok...breaks are what is costing me. Take a...

Being an apa player my pool playing is always on 7 footers now a days. Almost always on valleys and occasionally on diamonds. Years ago i played in an in house money league on gold crowns and for a year our apa division rotated from 3 weeks on valleys to one week on a gold crown but that...

They had us play at a different venue than where we are based in house. Social distancing was in effect. They had every other tabke closed. Approximately 20 people played and only one wore a mask. I was not that one though.. Every one made an effort to keep some reasonal distance apart but...

This might turn in to a long post so kindly back out now if they are not your cup of tea. I went to league last night and had 5 out of 7 players show up. One guy is on national guard duty for the whole month and props to him for the job he does for our country. One girl is out sick...so i...

In another thread i replied to a post from celophanewraps inquiry about our regional qualifier but i thought one thing i experienced deserved its own thread. After not doing too well in our qualifier i decided to hang around and enter a 9 ball tournament. Didnt fare well in my first match but...

Guess i need to start from the begining. When i got into playing league after a 30 year break from playing pool i bought a few mid to low level production cues.... Players....vikings ...and meuccis to be exact. Oh yea...traded one of those meuccis even for a predator blak 4. After joining...

Had a break at work and decided to see whats up on azb and that thread is gone.

I started playing with a revo 12.9 a year ago. I then got a meucci carbon pro last summer and sort of played with one or the other ...mostly the meucci. Last night i decided to use the black dot and must say i am very happy with how i played overall. Got out of position a few times but made...

Probably wind up long so bow out now if you are not into those. Our qualifer for hawaii was held this weekend and several days ago i contacted my lo about possibly forfeiting my team out of it. Due to several factors all happening at the same time i only had 4 players available for a 5 man team...

I have played in various tournaments over the years...handicapped ...non handicapped with the big boys ...league tournamemts etc...most never started on time and quite a long lag between matches sometimes and ran late a lot. So due to all the above reasons i have not played in one for a few...

I have lamented on here a few times about my 9 ball break. I have practiced several times....watched you tube...asked for advice from higher level players ....tried several dedicated break cues. . i got to where i could squat the cue ball in the middle of the table pretty regularly......always...

I was dwelling on an icindent that happened to me at league the other night. I was playing 9 ball vs a 5....i am a 6 in a 38-46 race with me going to 46. I broke and ran a few balls and only needed 2 and my opponent needed 4. When i shot my next ball my opponent claimed i double hit the cue...
