    Warped Shaft Poll

    I do not recommend trying to fix a warped shaft. You can have it put straight again but as sure as you are sitting there it will warp right back after a few hits. If it does not rise off the felt it should be fine to play with but if it really bothers you then go with the OB-1.

    Try this shot

    I was doing this on a newly felted 9 ft Diamond. He used the new Brunswick felt which is like shooting on glass. The difficulty varies on the table.

    I was practicing this the other night because a friend challenged me. The object is to sink the 8 in the corner pocket without letting the cue ball touch the rail. It looks easier than it is LOL. I think I hit the rail 5 times before I was able to do it right...

    How do you Gamble?Not why.

    I gamble because it keeps me from developing bad habits when a game doesn't mean anything. I like to play races to 9 or more. Takes out the chances of a weaker player winning. I suppose the big thing is that if you beat your opponent they cant say "Well I wasn't really trying or playing you...

    Lost my cool.....

    Well I guess I'm human... Saturday night I snag my case and head up to the pool hall to meet up with a friend. I'm shooting with my buddy for about an hour when in comes this guy that we all know. I consider the guy a friend but you have to take his personality with a grain of salt. You all...

    Value of this cue?

    LOL well he was asking what the "value" was :rolleyes: I personally wouldn't buy it and I'm sure that on ebay it will only fetch 80.00-100.00 at best but then again everyone is looking for some kind of deal on the bay.;)

    Value of this cue?

    Check that, It was originally 219.00 and in a mint shape would be 259.00. Due to less than mint shape it would be closer to a 180.00 range. It is the EL1 model.

    Value of this cue?

    Brand new it is worth 249.00. I would have to say used with a chip you would be in the 160.00-180.00 range.

    If your bridge hand always has a blue stain on the Palm If your pool cue costs more than your wifes wedding ring. You get in an argument with your wife and you offer a lag to decide it:D When someone says "combination" safes or asian food does not come to mind first. When you tell your...

    When playing 8 ball.......

    I think these rules make the most sense. Why should I as a player be penalized for the mistake of my opponent? the reason why I say this is because lets say the 8 ball or one of my balls happens to be right next to the head spot? by spotting your ball in that spot you just gave a ball in hand...

    When playing 8 ball.......

    BCA rules OBJECT BALLS JUMPED OFF THE TABLE If any object ball is jumped off the table, it is a foul and loss of turn, unless it is the 8-ball, which is a loss of game. Any jumped object balls are not re-spotted.

    OB or not OB that is the question

    LOL you guys are cracking me up!:D I have shot with a lot of different cues with many different pins, joints, weights, tips and shafts to find "WHAT SUITS ME BEST." That is what it is all about right there. So what if a shaft gives you less deflection? I think it is a trade off rather than a...

    Noticed This Concept Last Night........

    Well if there is one thing that I have learned it is to make sure not to make a change while down on a shot. I had that habit at one time until and instructor who wasn't even working with me came over and asked what I was doing wrong. I told him "no clue". He then advised me that when I lined up...

    Need to Vent, Somewhat Upset!

    Well it sounds like the guy should have been an easy meal ticket.. I look at it like this: Talk all the $hit you want but keep in mind that you have been the one racking:D Don't let him get under your skin. The only way to shut those guys up is to beat them senseless on the table;) I would...

    Shady move.....

    he was posting the money on the light every game. the only time he didn't post was the last rack in which I figured he was good for since I already had 230 from him safe in my pocket. I also knew the guy from around the bar so I felt comfortable he wouldn't pull that move. Lesson learned I guess.
