    What do you do?

    Take em I have always carried my cues with me every where. I used to work in a pretty secure office, and the first few times I walked in the security guy checked my case out to make sure it was "legit". I would never leave my cues in the car as I worry to much about temps, theft and so on. And...

    need info on buying new shaft

    My 2 cents Its all a matter of opinion as to the shaft you use, there are good shafts and bad shafts however. If you decide on a natural shaft then you are right, there should be a wide grain of heart wood that runs in a straight line from one end to the other. If you are thinking of getting a...

    9-Ball Question

    The excuse is call shot eight ball is to slow, and thus to boring to put on T.V. I think the producers have missed the whole meaning of pool.

    ACS Reno Turnout a huge flop.

    Hmmm define flop. It was the first major event they had, and as I have been down at the Silver Legacy all week I would have to be honest and say I have had a blast. I will get the added money figures for you tomorrow if you are really interested just PM me so this does not become just one more...

    Can Women Played Their Best in High Heels?

    Don't think so This thread reminded me of something Monk told me on my first lesson years ago. I showed up to play, he watched me hit balls for a while and set up shots for me. I was wearing a pair of boots I always wore around. He looked at me and pointed out that sneakers would be better. He...

    Cosmic Aiming

    I am one of these people. Aiming system? I am sure I use one, do I know which one or how I aim? Not a clue. Now heres a thought. What if all these aiming systems that you buy improve your game not because they are better then any other one, but because if you take the time to buy something...

    Nose above cue or dominant eye when aiming?

    Here is a link to that, its right here on AZ under his columns. Dominant myth? I read this a while back. I know a guy that uses an eye patch when he plays. I tried to tell him about this link but he got very angry with me. In the end I guess if you think you play better by doing something...

    Fav WPBA Player....why?

    If some one bases the decision solely on looks, then I think that actually answers your question for you. I enjoy watching a good player shoot period. It’s like a free lesson in a way. I can't tell you to what degree the looks of a player influence that. I would love to say (all high and mighty...

    Powder or not

    It varies I used to use powder or hand chalk. Then I started playing in a few rooms where it was not allowed or sometimes it just was no where to be found. It bothered me so I got a glove. I went through a few gloves, and then one day when my last glove wore out I basically forgot to buy a new...

    Fav WPBA Player....why?

    So I voted "Mad Skills" I voted for mad skills, that’s just me though. I kinda wonder about some of the comments I have read in this thread though. If the question was whom I find most attractive in the WPBA I may have voted differently but as for my favorite? Its the playing skills, that’s...

    Lucasi Cues & the Uni-Lock Joint

    Lucasi I play with a first generation Lucasi. I love the hit. It has a good balance and has stayed true for years now. Part of that is the way I take care of my cues I think. I recommend them to anyone, it makes a great playing cue that looks good. I have the uni lock joint too.
