    WTB: Dashed Silver Rings

    Hello all. Does anyone have any shaft sized rings they can sell me, say two of them, in the style of the pic below? It doesn't have to be exactly like the one in the pic, something close would suffice. Thanks.

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    Had this happen to me the other night at the pool hall. I was playing some 9-ball with my buddy while some of our other friends were watching. He scratches on his break. I take bih and start my run. After each ball I pocket, he's laughing. By the 3rd or 4th ball pocketed, everyone's laughing. At...

    Raise your butt?

    I was watching a match the other day and Efren got a little out of line, as below. Due to impeding balls around the table, going 3-4 rails around for position was not an option. It was a ring 10 ball game so safties were not allowed either and he had to go for the shot. Billy Incardona said the...

    Ghost rules?

    I've been beating the 8 ball ghost lately (in rotation, not the game of 8 ball) and have recently been told by a friend and one of the best players I know that I've been doing it wrong. I rack 8 balls, break, and take bih. My friend tells me that I should be racking 9 balls and I win if I...

    Looking for some players in NW Chicago

    One pocket break help

    I've been learning the game of one pocket, playing a very good player on a nine foot Diamond at the pool hall. The only break he and I use is to clip the head ball, glance off the second ball, with inside english. Works well enough and is what I've seen most, if not all, the top players use. I...

    Slate backing

    I tried to search for help with this but to not avail. I have a CL Bailey table with 1 inch slate that I am pretty happy with for now, until I break the bank and go for my Diamond Smart Table :D . Anyway, the slate is directly on the frame of the table with no wood backing and the cloth is glued...

    Rules Clarification Please

    The game is eight ball, assuming BCA rules, and regarding the first shot after the break. Specifically, if you use a solid to pocket a stripe (or vice versa) in a combo, then you call the stripe and have designated your group, right? Now, if the solid goes in also, you're still stripes, since...

    Wrap question

    I spoke with a cuemaker the other day about rewrapping a couple of my cues with leather (which currently have Irish linen). He said it could be done but there could be a problem with the depth as Irish linen is THICKER than leather. Is this true? I would think leather would be thicker than the...

    Rotate shafts or keep one as a spare?

    If you have two shafts for the same cue, do you rotate their use or keep one as a spare, assuming you're not saving one for resale or collectability? I always keep one in my case as a spare but I got to thinking recently, should I be rotating them to distribute wear and tear on the shaft and...
