    What killed the slip stroke?

    Yeah, that first few seconds of the time stamped video shows the back hand of a slip stroke. Good work finding and posting that particular shot. Cisero pauses more in transition than others typically might with the slip stroke.

    What killed the slip stroke?

    No, it’s a thing. You just have to have seen somebody who has one. It’s fluid and the cue has momentum. It’s not the Loch Ness monster or Sasquatch, it exists. Maybe near extinction, but its real.

    Looking to purchase a pool table for my home. Need some advice.

    That’s along the lines of what I had. If it’s in decent condition and set up well it will work. You will have to evaluate the seller and how well they can set it up etc….

    Looking to purchase a pool table for my home. Need some advice.

    When you say loft, what do you mean? I ask because if you want a commercial 7’ table your lower price option is a used valley which you can tighten up with ridgeback or penguin rails. That means one piece slate. I had a Brunswick home 8’ table for many years. It was pretty good. Toward the...

    9 Ball Format

    Calling it short rack 9 ball seems so……redundant. 9 ball is already short rack rotation. Maybe call it half rack 9 ball even though you can’t have a true half rack. 🤔

    Please, for the love of God, stop snowing!

    I actually think it makes sense. I have relatives on both sides of the family in various spots in the Midwest. Most of the Chicago contingent moved. The Elkhorn resident got out of Chicagoland a while ago. My other Wisconsin relatives like it I think. By moving we got disconnected from...

    Please, for the love of God, stop snowing!

    Two things. 1) In Idaho this year I haven’t had to get a snow shovel or snow blower out of the shed. 😎. I don’t want to get too cocky tho because other years can bring more snow than I want and this winter isn’t over either. 2). Close to sixty Januarys ago, my father left work in a large city...

    Best way to thin out collection cues and books... List separate, or bundle in one sell list?

    For a minute I thought I was looking at my own bookshelf. Yours aren’t identical, but there is a huge amount of overlap between yours and mine. So that might be a problem selling books as a group. Although maybe others haven’t been buying them over the years.

    FREE Action Stream.......starts tonite

    I didn’t get to spend enough time there last year. But I heard some hilarious stuff from the sporting crowd gathered there. 🤣

    FREE Action Stream.......starts tonite

    Just a WAG, but I, not being a glass half full guy, suspect child support is not priority 1. Assuming anybody on the winning side has an outstanding child support order they are behind on. 😉

    French Lick Resort

    Just looked at the website. I think I’d like the Ross course and the 9 holes they made from an old course. The new Dye course I’d play maybe feeling obligated to. It is probably good in its way but if I played 20 times at that resort with my choice of courses I could see winding up Ross-18...

    French Lick Resort

    I thought it was a Donald Ross. At least the original. But I haven’t googled it before posting. Haven’t played many Ross courses though. I need to play more of them I think.

    Amazon cue extension

    My opinion is just get the right one, the good one that is a bit more. But it’s your money so…..

    Good amateur bar table 8 ball

    Yeah, the super slow play can be bad and it happens in that tournament. Sometimes watching the replays I find myself fast forwarding through some extensive “studies”. It did seem worse this year. I didn’t stay up to see the 8 ball final - it went to 4:00 AM central or something didn’t it? I...

    Good amateur bar table 8 ball

    Watching now. I like to watch this tournament. Usually watch past matches on YouTube but I’m going to see a bunch live this year.

    The Cuetec duo extension is a good one.

    It's Been Three Months Now

    Taom is not totally residue free but is sooooo much cleaner. I have plenty of Master and Triangle but am using Taom. I want to use the inexpensive and good Chicago products but will pay for Taom after trying it.

    NAPA Pool League adds One Pocket to its format

    It’s been the rule at the DCC for a while I think. To me it makes perfect sense in rack your own. Not so much in opponent rack.

    NAPA Pool League adds One Pocket to its format

    I don’t know anything about NAPA. How would a 1P League work? Their website had few details- but I didn’t send a message yet etc…
