I injured my shooting shoulder/arm a while ago and had doctor's orders not to play pool (or do much else) with that arm for a month. I'm a fairly serious amateur pool player who usually practiced 8-12 hours/week and generally held my own in local tournaments, etc. I haven't touched a cue for a...

I'll be there I'll be there Thursday and Friday, leaving Saturday. Any idea if there will be (at any time) tables available for amateur play? Some tourneys do that...

Yes I know a part-time professional who uses a Black Boar cue and has a Predator 314-2 on it. I'd say who it is, but I want that person's permission first. This person doesn't hide the Predator shaft, but s/he isn't sponsored by Predator either, so I don't think s/he advertises it.

Where I play, "really old and very used" is the standard. You wouldn't believe how small some of the cue balls are. Some may be, I don't know, 15 years old? 20? Snooker-ball sized.

What game are they for? Do you mind if we ask what game they're for? I've never heard of a game that would use this combination of balls.

Me too. I'll be there all day (and night?) Thursday, and Friday until mid-afternoon or so. Have to be home for the weekend.

I'll be there Thursday, Thursday night, and at least half of Friday. Can't stay for the weekend unless I drive back on Saturday (which I might).

I recently bought it and started using it. I was hoping for a detailed, specific set of exercises that I could progress through. Well, it's sort of in there, but I'd call his book more of an encyclopedia of good ideas and good drills/practice routines. It's a reference book, not a book where you...

Is this coating something we could buy and apply ourselves? Right now I use that bowling alley wax. Would your product be as simple to use?

I am, too, so I'd like opinions also. Thanks.

Me too I was there! I was a regular reader and poster in the early, then late 1990's. Then I quit pool for about seven years. AZB is much better, I think, even though some of those old RSB posts were terrific.

I don't think so Viking's QR joint pin is slightly thicker than their old 5/16x18. I've had both. In fact, I had a Predator shaft designed for a 5/16x18 and it would fit on my regular Viking butt, but not my Viking QR butt. So my personal experience says no, it won't fit.

Hong Kong race to 120 on DVD Accu-Stats does have this set on DVD as of a couple of months ago. My problem with it is, they made one DVD out of each tape. That means something like 13 DVDs, some of which only have 50 or 60 minutes of play on them. I'm a big Accu-Stats supporter and have...

Interesting point! I never considered not being able to adjust to GOOD equipment. Well, I'm buying the set of balls, but I won't let myself use them exclusively. Just mostly. :-) Thanks for the input everyone.

In your opinion, is buying a set of pool balls (Super Pro or Centennials) and bringing them with you to practice in a commercial pool hall a good or bad idea? I'm going to be doing a lot of drill-based practice over the next few months. I thought using the same set of balls every time would...

Macs and camcorders Apple's website contains information about what camcorders work well with Macs. Look for the sections about Final Cut Pro, their movie editing software. (Sorry I don't have the specific URL, but start at www.apple.com and you'll find it easily enough, I think.)

Bowling's easier to understand Yes, but bowling's easier to understand for the unsophisticated viewer. Roll ball at pins, pins fall down. Once you get used to the idea that the bowlers usually hook the ball, and therefore start by aiming at the gutter, bowling couldn't be any simpler. Pool is...

You are so right I learned this the hard way this weekend. I absolutely embarrassed myself in a regional event. First, let's be honest, for whatever reason I wasn't playing my best. I've played much better against equally tough opponents than I did this weekend. Nevertheless, a fact was...
