Lovely place. Open 24hrs. The price, well, at 10 in the morning it was $2 to play. The staff was super nice, there is plenty of space to shoot comfortably. And that table 14 with triple shimmed pockets and the Simonis 860 cloth that looks like new can kiss my rear. That was the most of we've...

After many years of trying to track down Ricco I managed to nail down a relative in Mexico. Ricco passed away last December. His son in law Chendo learned the trade from Ricco and is now making cues on his own as Chendo cues. In recent years there have been a number of "Ricco Chendo" cues for...

Work already

A few months ago I decided to quit the leagues and sign up for local tournaments simply because it works better for my changing crazy family life and schedule. My first tourney of 8 Ball call pockets. was back in January in a well known pool hall north of Tampa where, a lot of matches are...

Long time no post, hope everyone's new year is going great. As for us thank God that 2014 is over that was a total nightmare for us. So a high school friend of my hubs wants to meet up they don't play but they all agreed to hit a few racks somewhere in town. This guy moved to Sarasota...

What would you say is the life expectancy of bottom end cloth? With 2 to 3 hours of daily play? With no mase or jumps

And I am playing pool all day long. 😃 Sent from my RM-920_nam_att_100 using Tapatalk

Leave it to Earl. What the heck is he wearing??? I tried to look around in AZB before making this thread and I didn't see anything relevant, but if it is a dup just remove this Thanks!!! This match is from January 2014 a 9 ball match between Earl Strickland and Efren Reyes. The Battle of...

WIN :rolleyes: That's right! I convinced the hubs to take me out to the local tourney last night and I WON First Place:dance:. The prize???? $20 bar tab or food:yeah:. We stopped visiting the local tourney when the kids school started last fall. But since we (by "we" I mean the HUBS) have a new...

Snapshot™ Premium Metal Cue Stick Ferrules Link Anyone tried these? I found out about them through a Facebook page. I like the look. Although they are pretty common in snooker and carom cues, pool cue makers seemed to be turned off by it. I was a little annoyed at the options in diameters...

So it appears I've moved to skill level 5 in 9 ball. I'm still a skill level 3 in eight ball :/ It would seem that my classes on the side with Mr. Donny Lutz and Mr. Scott Lee are paying off.... and they will continue to do so. Now all I need to do is prevent a meltdown like the one I had a...

I found this little hole in the wall called MJs Cue Club the have two Carom tables. Outside of the small fact that the only thing they serve is water its an okay place. Apparently people only go there to shoot pool or carom. Now where's a good place to begin learning how to play? Sent from...

Any one tried one of these systems? I found one on eBay. Seems like a wonderful idea the price is a little high for my budget.:o http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tru-Banks-Pool-Billiard-Under-Rail-Table-Mirrors-HIGH-QUALITY-Teaching-Aid-/221137924334

A few weeks back we joined an APA Double Jeopardy team they play 9 ball and 8 Ball on Tuesday nights. All was well, I play as my mediocre SL 3 in 9 ball and as a SL 2 in 8 Ball. My team chooses to put me up against a SL 7 in 8 ball. My lag is perfect, I break dry, he runs a couple of balls...

My nine ball game is CURSED. Ever since I moved to a SL three. I understand it's just my brain getting overly anxious... Id just like to stop it from doing so. Alternately my 8 ball game is suddenly smoking and polar opposite of the 9 ball game WTF

So far as I can tell there is only one cue maker in Puerto Rico. He goes by Pacheco Cue Maker in PR. There some pieces that look like ivory but they aren't, other cues include mother of pearl and some exotic woods. Mine is a maple cue from what I understand. It rolls smooth and as for it's...

While I was reviewing the APA stats thread I wrote a response that seemed long winded and off topic so I decided to start this one. I hope no one feels I'm making a duplicate thread. I know people typically complain about sandbagging being bad in the APA... As a SL3 I don't know much about...

The hubs and I signed up for the local APA 9 ball scotch doubles tournament yesterday. This was our 5th and last attempt to get to the Regionals and possibly go to Vegas with the Scotch doubles format. We shot great, we had many misses but in the end we pulled through. My dumb luck is that...
