Whether intentional or not, that was a dick move. It took 20 seconds to find the guy's age, full address, phone number, relatives etc from that image. Duane: Please remove the pic with the shipping label on it. It serves zero purpose whatsoever, and you've managed to expose a bunch of the...

Enough that I can make pretty much any shot on the table. Not enough that I can do it at the first attempt, consistently.

I like the bolded one for the double meaning. I'd remember it for sure. I've launched and run / sold more online businesses than I care to remember and branded pretty much all of them. One thing that I do during the naming process is tell 10 friends the shortlist of names that I'm thinking of...

Mine was last week in a tournament. Standing at the foot of the table, the 1 ball was near the top left pocket almost frozen to the side rail. Just in front of it was another ball with perhaps 2 balls' width between it and the rail. Cueball was about 1 diamond up from the foot of the table...

You're getting some great advice here OP. Something to consider when making the decision is not just how you enjoy pool now, but how you might in future. I bought an American Heritage a few years ago because I was just a casual "few racks every month" player, but now that I'm taking it more...

Couple of reasons: 1) Which might be my misunderstanding, but Action/ Elite don't seem to have a threaded bumper available for this cue and 2) I like the feel and grip of the wrap when breaking, and a rear extension would negate that. I've had an email discussion with David Schmelke and they...

Thanks for the lead, much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. That's a possibility that I hadn't considered, though I have a feeling it would end up costing more than the cue did :eek: I should have stopped at 5' 10".

I have an Action / Elite break cue that I'm very happy with other than the length. I play with a 62" cue (I'm 6' 6") and picking up the 57" break cue feels like I'm wielding a toy. Unfortunately it has an unusual 2" long wood joint that's 1/2 x10, so I'm having zero luck finding a 4-5"...

SVB: So smooth and almost robotic. Dennis Hatch: Style reminds me of my boyhood favorite snooker player, Jimmy White. Also localish. Efren Reyes: No reason needed.

Maybe I'm all wet behind the ears as I'm a new player, but I tend to agree with this. Take one of the bigger local amateur tournaments as an example. $5,000 first prize with these breakdowns for handicaps: Fargo 0-519 (C players) play to 6, 520-619 (B players) play to 8, and 620-685 (A players)...

Short version: if you're in the New England area, Joe is a great guy and an excellent instructor. Lessons with him will be a solid investment in your game. Long version: I took my first lesson with Joe last week, and had a tremendously positive experience. By way of background, my experience in...

No complaints from me about going OT, that's how conversations work :thumbup2: Most of the players are APA 4 or 5 with the occasional 6. For the lower ranks and newer players (like me) it's a good way to get my feet wet playing in front of people rather than solo on my home table, meet new...

Thank-you for this, that's really helpful information to have. A little more detail: the cue ball was to the left, and slightly forward of, his 1 ball and they were relatively close to the center line (lengthwise) of the table, behind the head string. I was shooting a combination that was close...

We actually debated it for a good 2 or 3 minutes before he accepted it. He's a good guy even if we do like to screw with each other off the table, it's always good natured. Fun to play against people like that :)

Yeah, that kind of thing drives me nuts. I was in a much bigger, handicapped tournament last week and I beat my first round opponent 2-1 in a 2-3 race. Next thing I knew, the guy running the tournament was telling me who I had in the losers' bracket. Huh? Turns out my opponent had reported that...

Very helpful, thank-you! If a similar situation should arise in future, I guess the best option would be to have a third party watch the shot from close-up and confirm that the direction of the shot is absolutely, without a doubt, away from the ball that the cue ball is frozen to. That way if...

I was playing in a fairly low-key tournament last night, nothing major, $3 buy-in and the first prize was $85. My opponent was a guy who I have a healthy and friendly rivalry with, plenty of needling each other before and after (but not during) games and so on. The tournament is single rack 8...

I just wanted to add my voice to those thanking you for this excellent video. My playing partner and I are just beginning our journeys into taking pool seriously, and are at the point of starting to play 2 and 3 shots ahead instead of one. This video will be an invaluable aide. On Sunday we...
