    APA Question???

    A player is about to shoot a shot, the Coach calls time out a second before the player shoots. The player doesn't hear the coach and instantly shoots. Nothing to do with illegal strategy, it happened too fast. Was a time out officially used or because the time out actually never occurred the...

    APA 8 ball score keeping

    I'm just wondering in your "average night" of 8 ball scorekeeping how many defensive shots are usually recorded on your score sheet. Understandably some matches are low innings with little or no defensive shots but on the average after 5 matches? 1-4, 4-8, 8-12 or more? What state are you...

    Best Break Cues

    I'm curious what is the consensus on the best break cues (at least top 3 or 4). I know a majority of the serious players carry a break cue in their case. Jumping doesn't matter to me because I have a torn labrum in my shoulder (it hurts to jump). I feel nothing when shooting. It's hard to say...

    Pointer case

    Has anyone ever heard of a Pointer case. The brand is Pointer. It's leather, constructed very well. It looks high end but I have no idea where or what country it was manufactured in. I bought this case used a few months ago but I've never heard of the name.

    APA handicap system

    I play in the 8 ball league. I have a hard time understand how the handicap formula really works. Is it based more on winning percentage or innings? Does it matter if you defeat a higher handicap player over a lower ranked player?

    Meucci question

    I recently purchased 2 vintage mid-high level Meucci (1985-1990). Without realizing it, they were both not the typical 58 inches. One is 60 inches and one 55.5 inches. I'm not really happy but are these very unusual? I ordered from the factory before around that time period but wasn't aware that...

    Palmer for sale.

    Thank you for the corrections. The cue is not a model J, it's a model 16. I'm not an expert on Palmers but I appreciate the input. The cue is now relisted on Ebay as the correct model 16. It's a beautiful cue with minimal use in excellent condition. It's still a great opportunity for someone to...
