    Tom Wirth one pocket dvds 4 sale

    I'm pretty sure it's a copyright violation to sell a used dvd while keeping a copy for yourself. Also, Mr. Wirth has made a big contribution to the game. We should support him instead of trying to screw him out of sales.

    Question about ball polish

    Aramith ball cleaner contains wax. It may work great, but it does not comply with the WPA rule.

    Petition to bring billiards to 2024 Olympics

    I saw this on Reddit. Is it legit? If so, we should all sign! https://www.change.org/p/bringing-billiards-to-the-olympic-games-2024

    Converting my diamond light to led or not

    Wouldn't two 2'x2' square panels be plenty of light? I've seen the single 2'x4' panels being sold for a 9' table. I was thinking about building a fixture with two of the 2'x2' panels spaced about 2' apart for more even coverage. I would think a similar setup with two 2'x2' panels would work in...

    Schmelke Cues..... Again

    Same here. Among other issues, they told me there's no warranty on the finish when mine had a bad defect after less than a month.

    SCOTUS legalizes sports gambling - new pool sponsors?

    The case arose out of New Jersey's efforts to legalize sports betting. How was Harry Platis instrumental and in what capacity has he been working on this for 7 years? I'm not saying it's untrue, but it smells fishy to me. Why would New Jersey need help from a Seattle personal injury attorney to...

    SCOTUS legalizes sports gambling - new pool sponsors?

    ***I have not read the Court's opinion. The following is based on summaries of the opinion in the news.*** The Court did not legalize sports gambling, it did not rule that "a ban on gambling is not regulation", and it did not rule that the government is not allowed to ban gambling. If the court...

    Advantage of long cue ?

    I’m not knocking long cues, but longer arrows do not fly more or less straight than shorter ones. Good arrow flight is achieved through careful tuning of numerous interrelated variables, including length along with stiffness, the weight of the tip, balance point, draw weight (how hard it is to...

    Schmelke fails to live up to the hype

    From the other threads on these forums,* I got the impression that Schmelke offers a highly customizable inexpensive cue, great value for the money, and great customer service. I ordered one so I could experiment with the narrower shaft diameter, short ferrule, etc. and because I thought it...

    Schmelke fails to live up to the hype

    Cheap shot? I gave them every chance to make it right before making my complaints public. They didn't even respond to my last email.

    Schmelke fails to live up to the hype

    I picked up a used sneaky by a custom maker. It's much nicer but also more expensive than the Schmelke. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't competent cue makers regularly able to produce shafts within+/- 0.1mm of a requested diameter or better? It may be a difference of only 4 human hairs, but...

    Schmelke fails to live up to the hype

    I didn’t have the positive experience with Schmelke that everyone else has reported. They did not stand behind their product, and dealing with them turned out to be a big waste of time and money. I ordered a cue from them for $230. I asked for 1/2" ferrule and 12.6mm diameter shaft, among other...

    What is this game called?

    That's the game - they were just scoring it differently. Thanks!! I couldn't find anything about a billiards game called Idiot's Delight, although there is a card game (solitaire). I'll check out Cowboy Pool!

    What is this game called?

    I saw some guys playing this game on a pool table, but it was obviously meant to be played without pockets. The players were using the cue ball, three ball, eleven ball, and one ball. The objective was to make the cue ball hit a red ball (three or eleven) and the yellow ball on one shot, then...

    Against the vulgarity and filthy language

    I'm just trying to make a point and maybe encourage users with those avatars to consider why some other users, especially women, might find them alienating or even demeaning. I'm not a puritan or a prude and not wishing for a church-like environment. I do think such images should be banned...
