No in fact the end result is a permanent ban from csi bca events. Ozzy Reynolds called me a liar for this post and a thief because I reversed charges on the credit card. He then refuses to answer any further emails. Apparently if you disagree with csi’s policies keep it to yourself.

Tha Thanks for the link. I think any country is hard, maybe impossible, to get right the first time. I will be back and truth is I will always have a cue with me. We did find bal-Enzo in Antwerp. We found PoolGate in Brussels. And Lucky Panda in Zurich. All the people running those places were...

Amsterdam Utrecht Brussels Antwerp Luxembourg Munich Zurich Geneva. It’s not that it doesn’t exist it’s just not the same scene as the us. I will be coming over here often enough for a few years I might figure it out. It’s probably the culture shock of just eu plus the difference of the rooms...

We came and saw all the posts are right. We found a few really bad tables in super divey bars but nobody was playing. Possibly because they were like 15 an hour. Most of the pool halls are either non existent or members only and not even findable. The pool halls we did find were 20-24ish an hour...

Was it weight lifting that made it your first priority to bitch about smoking or was that the girlfriends?

It sounds like those are the options. If anyone else knows of good weekly tournaments we will chase those. Gotta pay for the trip somehow.

I am in NorCal. Where are you?

38 is a good turnout. 9 ball? Race? Buy in? If the bar scene doesn’t exist we don’t have a lot of choices. I can get bar games for $5 up to $150 for a single game here. But that’s not super regular. Most nights it’s just a shit show in a dive bar.

Are you maybe still a jelly donut? Or are you now just a plain boring glazed donut.

We only have 3 weeks but anywhere is an option. Definitely Geneva possibly Amsterdam possibly Paris. We still have 6 weeks to plan. That’s really why I am asking.

@ShortBusRuss we shoot pretty good and both have 9’ diamonds at home. I think we can probably keep up with at least some of the Germans. I was out a couple months ago. I found 3 semi promising bars in Berlin with a single American 7’ bar table. No games but it was a Tuesday night (I only had...

Oktoberfest ends October 3rd.

Me and a buddy are heading to Europe for 3 weeks to check out the pool scene. We are looking for suggestions of places to not miss. We plan to do pool halls during the day. But we are definitely more the dive bar 8 ball king of the hill type. We fly into Frankfurt but plan to hit any good pool...

As a complete stranger I emailed Paul this morning about cue making. He answered immediately and then took an hour out of his day getting to know me and answering tons of questions. I have now stalked him on so many forums. There seems to be nobody that doesn’t describe his work as anything less...

I just picked up a used one of these. It definitely gives me motivation to practice. I had to side mount the projector because of my space. It works great. It probably won't fix my game. (Note this picture was not calibrated properly.)

Agree automation degrades skill. My time on metal lathes and mills I almost never look at the speed anymore. But the first few times I had a mentor looking over my shoulder. I was looking for a general idea of what speed works better since nobody is here to tell me I can go faster. (I am also...

Can you tell me on a mid-size cue smith approximately where those speeds are?

Can you leave the pumps in the cans all the time or do you need to remove them if you aren’t going to use them for a few days?

Which one makes someone that can’t shoot shoot better? It’s a technique regardless of what brand of shaft you have.
