Any instructors here have what I deem as being unteachable students? I've come across 3 classes of people that I just can't seem to get through to. 1: The Uber Computer Professional. 2: Engineers 3: Teachers/Professors. Currently, I have a student that is retired Law Enforcement but is...

I just recently had Mr. Leon Sly make a shaft for a Uni-Loc Mottey handle I have. Initially, Mr. Sly stated that it would take approx. 5-6 weeks to complete as he was working on other cue orders at that time. Mr. Sly called me on the19th and stated that the shaft was ready and made to my specs...

Anyone still currently active in this? Anyone that was involved but no longer is? This was recently brought to my attention and I'm currently trying to get it started in my current area.

Yes I'm a league player. Let's say the captain doesn't show up very often to play. Once every few weeks or so. Sometimes to pop in for a bs session for a half hour then leaves. I know that work is taking up some of that time which he can not be faulted or the occasional illness which also...

One of my cues is an Adams Balabushka GB 3. Within a few months of purchasing it, I started noticing a gummy residue on the Irish Linen wrap. After a while, I took it to a repair shop to see if they could clean it up a little but they weren't able to clean it up much. I decided to have it...

I'm just taking the time to give a huge THANK YOU to both RKC and Josh Ebert for taking the time out of their holiday schedule to answer questions that a good friend of mine in Ohio had about his 9' Bailey table. I may never get a chance to meet either one of these gentlemen but I was privy to...

This past Monday night I was observing a match played on a table next to where my team was playing our matches. I know that in most leagues and tournaments that a player can not place their cue on the playing surface of a table, align the shot, then leave the cue on the surface and walk to the...

What causes them? Why do they happen? What's the fix? Some folks will argue until the sun goes down that slumps are in a sense, mythological. Others will argue for the same amount of time that they are reality. Does cryptozoology need to take the helm here and investigate to the point that...

I had a lesson with Mr. Tony Marcino this past Saturday in which we revisited some of the material that Mr. Scott Lee had provided during my lesson with him. Mr. Marcino also took some video of what was occurring before, during, and after of my current stroke situation. Tony is very...

I had the privilege and honor of receiving a formal lesson from Scott Lee this past Wednesday evening. First, I will address that Scott is very personable and has a great sense of humor which always makes a first encounter a lot more relaxed. Think of all the times we meet some people who are...

I've managed to start building a small network of AZB members that I feel are worth mentioning here. In an effort to let new visitors or those passing through that these guys are worth every effort to get to know, hang out, and enjoy playing a little. As always, it will be up to their own...

Very new to the area here. Any chance that I can link up and play a little with some of the local AZ'ers in the area? Thanks!!!

I've been trying relentlessly to try and join a TAP league in the D.C. Area. I have called the main office on several occasions and have left voice mails. No one returns my calls. It seems as though TAP doesn't really want to grow their numbers (solely speculation). I would really appreciate...

What exactly qualifies an instructor to be an instructor? There are those that have been through the BCA qualifications. There are those that haven't. In either case, you have instructors on both sides of this fence and since there is no regulatory council (i.e.; Federal, State, County, Local)...

Pushout, Please clear some PM space please. I have some new 6 Pocket info that I would like to pass on to you. Thanks,

I realize that this is not really important to most everyone here but I have to put it out there anyway as I know that some do have a sense of humor and may appreciate it.:D I was playing a 6 Pocket match with 2 other local league members last night. I shot 3rd in the group. The first player...

Many of the members here have been very fortunate to have been exposed to some of the greats from days gone by. Some are getting exposed to todays' greats. Some will be exposed to tomorrow's up and coming stars. In some small way I must admit that I am somewhat envious that you've all had that...

New 6 Pocket Session League begins in Loganville, GA. If anyone in the Atlanta area is interested and it is a reasonable drive, please come check us out. PM for details. Session begins Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011 at 1:00 PM.

I just recently acquired a wrapless Paul Mottey butt from a good freind. It has what appears to be a Predator style 12 mm shaft with what appears to be a Low Deflection ferrule. Can't attest to the fact if the ferrule is LD or not as I have no experience with a short ferrule. @ 18 oz. I've...

Around 9 Ball. It doesn't matter if I play APA 9 ball or world standard 9 ball recreationally, I just can't seem to get into this game. I struggle badly with it and can't seem to figure out why. I like to be diverse and play all different types of games but my stronger suits are 8 ball...
