Thank You!

Got a link? Tried searching and I don't see these specific ones.

We spent the day up at Turning Stone a couple weeks back, watching the earlier rounds and seeing a bunch of players that generally don't make it to the last day. These are some pretty good shooters, just not quite up to making the top 16 at this tournament. My girlfriend noticed that a lot of...

Our barbox is in the basement. and I'm just short of the space to use a full cue at every possible angle. The room is about 12'4" by about 20'. For shots perpendicular to the long rail, and shooting with the cue ball within an inch or two of that long rail, we have a short cue. I bought a...

I remember reading about a league that used this system. I think it was United Billiard League. There was quite a bit about it on these boards. Seemed like a pretty interesting system.

Our local APA league has had three locations with the 6 footers. There are still two in the league, the third location still has that table, but no team uses that location now. We also have three locations that use 6½ footers. The rest use standard 7 footers. You can still buy them from a...

I think that one pass that was seeming caught by both receiver and defender, and then ruled as a catch, was an even more obvious bad call. The receiver did make a great play, but the ball clearly touched the ground when they both came down together. You could see the ball stop moving as their...

Good Stuff! Thanks!

Especially if they were a pair of P. F. Flyers......with the action wedge!

I never really thought about cleaning one either, since I have a pile of new ones ready to go. I think I'll put mine on and wash it up good with a little Dawn, and we'll see how that turns out. Can't hurt, right?

A couple years ago I needed another glove. The one I had been using was dirty and kinda smelly, but worked, so I looked it up on eBay. It was a pretty inexpensive one, made by Champion, and there are numerous sellers for those gloves on eBay. They have graduated pricing, and while one glove...

Funny this came up. Last Wednesday we played my old team. Our handicaps pushed us apart so we could all play, and we're all still friends, so no drama, but of course we all want to win. Their top guy and I would be playing, and I usually do well playing him. The venue has a Diamond 7 footer...

It's the cigarette lighter from a car, as was mentioned earlier. You'd have that right by the ashtray in a vehicle. Push it in and it would activate power to it, those coils would heat up and glow bright red, and it would pop back out when it was hot and ready for use. You'd then pull it out...

Yes, this is it. You can't see the wood part at the bottom, but it's the wire chalk holders in the pic. Good job!

Bottom right is an unknown. It was cut off at the place I first saw this too. I'll ask there and see if someone knows. The film looks like a 110 cartridge. There were cameras that used 126mm and 110mm cartridges. Point and shoot. Now you see them as completely self contained cardboard...

A few years ago, going to what may have been my first time spectating at the Turning Stone, I watched Luc play a match against Jennifer Barretta. I never heard of Luc before, and knew Jennifer by name from the pool movies she was in. What a dichotomy of styles that was. Jennifer was...

We live a little less than 90 minutes drive east of Turning Stone, and we try to make the trip for a full day whenever they have this tournament. I have pool friends that play in the event, and we went up on Friday this time, so we got to watch them play in-person. Just as you reference, we...

He's still a 4. And yes, classic sandbagging if you ask me. He played for years on a team that is full of them. He's a nice enough guy but definitely has his own agenda for some things. I've had a guy on his old team miss an 8 ball with ball-in-hand on an empty table. My player made her last...

aa It's almost always someone you know that does these things. Living in a fairly rural area, this has been something my GF has made a point about in more than a few instances. Funny how women have that sense for who is actually a lowlife douchebag, and her instinct has proven it self enough...
