    Red balls vs. numbered balls?

    Was the only reason I bought them. Can be fun on a 9' table, but on my little 8-footer, can only use ten reds.

    Red balls vs. numbered balls?

    You're probably right. The balls are the same size, though, not smaller.

    Red balls vs. numbered balls?

    I picked up a set of Aramith 2-1/4" snooker balls. Never get a chance to play on a real snooker table, but still a fun game. Now, I've gotten myself in the habit of practicing 14.1 with just the 15 red balls. No need to "call" a specific ball... I know which one I'm shooting. Most shots are so...

    Products to Clean Pool Cues (Wood Shafts, Butts, and Leather Wraps)

    Good products. Haven't been able to find them, particularly the Q-Glide. Still have some Q-Clean, but it's more abrasive than the magic eraser, imo.

    Products to Clean Pool Cues (Wood Shafts, Butts, and Leather Wraps)

    I used to clean my wood shaft more often, before switching to premium chalk. I still probably clean it more often and more aggressively than most. Damp magic eraser is great. Paper towel dry, then the finest grit burnishing paper (Nick's Edge or similar). Then I burnish VERY vigorously with a...

    Variations on "Playing the Ghost"

    I typically play it straight. Scratch or no balls is only half-way to a loss. Then I play the "ghost" turn. If ghost runs out and wins, I still feel great about the loss. If not, it's a draw. Maybe I just hate losing.

    Just scored 51. By far, my best run. Never came close to a third rack before this. Only been trying about a month or so. 8' Kasson table. No Fargo rating.

    New members Hawking cues.

    With all the scammers, hard not to be cynical. Makes it tough on everyone. One can't build a history without someone first extending some trust to make a deal.

    I Want To Buy Something

    Hire a ball boy to replace balls to their position during practice sessions. He's gotta keep 'em clean, fetch beers, brush the table during bathroom breaks, etc. I'd make my own kid do it, but don't have any.

    anyone else who's cue was lost or stolen

    My very first cue was won at an arcade in Medford, Oregon. They had a glass box with a fan that blew money and coupons around, and I had a few seconds to grab what I could. One coupon was for the cue. About a year later (back in Colorado), I was hitchhiking to Estes Park and thought I'd be a...

    Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

    You said you got it cheap. It's not likely to bring much (if any) profit, regardless. If it makes you mad and you aren't planning to keep & play it, just throw that bad boy under a radial arm saw and find your truth. If you're right, you can crow about it. If not, you can remain silent. Problem...
