Well I took a shot that watching pickleball Pete. I honestly couldn't make it through it. You can see it looks like it was filmed in just a couple of days and it makes Ed Wood look like Spielberg. I hope they do better by Mike, and it's more than just a crowdfunding scam.

Looks like they release the films on YouTube. For only $2100.00 you can be in the film. One of their latest faith based films is "Pickleball Pete".

There's a match I think you can find it on YouTube. I'm not 100% sure who it was but I think it was Jimmy Fusco. He breaks the balls and runs out ( 9 ball) and nobody seems to notice he didn't make a ball on the break.

I'm inclined for my first response to be, I started playing pool when I was about 8 years old and I found I was really good at it it came very easy to me. By a teenager I was probably one of the best players in my town. I'm not sure that's really the answer though. Because I was good at a lot...

I remember that. Of all people I think Mike Massey was promoting it, the last guy needing an extension..

I just did some googling and apparently they are still around. https://www.pooldawg.com/x5-pool-cue-extension?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22893432438&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjvfSBhDpARIsAEiOpSvOt53HuR0fC3o6TQEPQLQ7HJQsGQcj2mihxPJh8YkA8uitZ_3A1vMaAn7DEALw_wcB

I heard this years ago as it related to pool. https://www.onlinehockeytraining.com/blog/opposite-hand-effect-hockey

Ray Martin had a set of different length extensions the screwed in between the shaft and the butt. Making what looked like a very long joint. That was well before 2002. Miz had an extension he sold with his extending bridge system. That must have been in the early to mid 90s.

Yea, you even need that number now for Canada. Just save it somewhere so you don't have to go looking for it every time.

If you use the service like Pirate Ship https://www.pirateship.com it's really easy to ship international just a few clicks and you're ready to go with the shipping label. You're still in the problem though once it leaves the country you can't track it. So you're at the mercy of whatever takes...

I've stopped shipping out of country entirely unless they provide me with a Us address. One of those services that handle international shipping.

Bad service from the post office used to be a running gag it wasn't really true. The fact is it was amazing how well they perform with the amount of mail they handle. Unfortunately that's changed. Many local post office operate on skeleton Crews. I do a lot of shipping and I track everything...

From my experience playing guys who give me sloppy racks I tend to make more balls on the break. The only thing I might actually really inspect is the front three balls, beyond that I don't care about the rest.

I would stay with the classic green. But having said that, when I used to play in the old Brunswick bowling alleys they used to have tables all different colors. I have to admit I really enjoyed playing on Gray.

I've been playing a lot longer than most of you so what I say probably isn't even relevant. Fact is there's a lot of really good cues around today even at the modest price end. When I started playing a lot of players use the old Brunswick Hoppe cues. My first cue before I got a Hoppe was the...

This got me curious where that scale was. I don't really do much cue work anymore. I went out to the shop and found it in a cabinet. Looks like it has not been used for a while. I used it a lot to mix finish by weight.

You'll have to discuss any misspellings with my voice to text on my phone. I always have to check it when I use it. Forget misspellings, sometimes it's switches around the words. Just recently I wrote something and it changed the word me to you for some reason. So changing the meaning as to be...

Something funny. Guys would come in my shop for one thing of another. . They would see the scale and ask if they could weigh their cue. In many cases it didn't weight what they thought, no even on cues they had ordered and had built.

I just mentioned it. I used to buy and sell gold so I have those scales. I once got stopped by a cop and they did a car search. Seems those triple beam scales were were a tip off for drug dealers. I should add the car was driving when I got stopped as well as that fancy triangular case sitting...

I have a triple beam Ohaus. You can use most any good postal scale that's accurate and just be sure to set it for grams for the most accurate measurement. Important though is to not divide by 28. You have to use 28.35. otherwise on a cue that is say 20 oz, if you only divide by 28 you'll be off...
