    Need advise on file storage

    I would like to inventory cues using codes. Put small qcode sticker on cue, use qcode to access cue specs and purchase history stored in PDF online. Qcodes can access links but I don't know where I can safely store the files so they can be accessed by qcode. I've tried a few file storage apps...

    Need Help - City Fighting Pool Hall

    I live in Minot, ND. We had a poolhall for many years that was shut down in 2008. It had a "under 21 side" and "over 21 side". They sold food and beer. In recent years, the city has been very unfriendly towards adult themed businesses, and has lumped poolhalls in that category. The two...

    Laser table marker

    Started using a dual laser park assist device mounted to the ceiling above the table to mark spots for repetitive shot practice. I centered it, at one end of the table so I can reach the pointers to adjust them. This means I am marking the top of the ball, not necessarily the spot on the...

    preventing cue theft

    OK, we are getting ready for league tournaments in North Dakota. A friend of mine had his cue case stolen with cues in it last year, and I've been thinking of ways to minimize chance of theft. I prefer to carry my own case at all times, but when I'm playing a game, I've left my cues with my...

    I started talking with Guido last summer after I had seen a jump cue with Guido's new joint design. after discussing cues for a while, Guido agreed to build two players cues using basic four point design and a couple matching inlay themes for me and my fiancé. I asked if he could do turquoise...

    why the focus on ball aiming?

    As far as skill in 8 ball, I'm very much a league player, no shortstop here. I can play well time to time, but do not put the time in necessary to play short-stop or better. I have limited access to reputable coaches/teachers, but I watch most videos and read most books on billiards. I love...

    aramith perfect roll magnetic ball

    On amazon there is a cue ball called the "Valley Couger Aramith Perfect Roll Magnetic" cue ball. It has the green couger logo and the green valley "eye" logo. I can't tell if the "perfect roll" part is a new development or just a new marketing ploy. I don't think all green logo balls play...

    I don't like all of the complaining about different rails and balls, but I'm interested in having an answer if someone asks if balls are softer, tips are harder, rails are stiffer, etc. Has anyone tried a handheld durometer on balls, tips, or rails? There are different testers for different...

    Viability of English and Low Squirt Shafts

    How much english do you use and does that amount have a correlation with whether you like Low Squirt shafts? Do Low Squirt shafts also help with draw/follow? Do you normally use english only on certain shots, no shots, to get in line only, or to stay in line? It seems to me that english is...

    diagnosing stroke fundamentals

    I think that one rail kick shots to an easy ball in the corner may be a better guage of stroke straightness than hitting balls straight in. I didn't get to play as much this summer as I usually do due to work, so getting in the groove has been tougher. In order to see what I need to work on, I...
