    Foul/Rule Question

    Thank you for the replies, I'm well aware that if the cue ball had gone through the path of where the balls were it is a foul. This did not happen. Appears it is a foul in BCA, is not in VNEA? We never actually stated what we were playing, but we have VNEA leagues here (Iowa) and also ISPA...

    Foul/Rule Question

    Playing "cue ball only" type fouls... is it a foul if you shoot your object ball and then the cue stick touches a different ball, that different ball then nudges another ball? This was all on a long reach shot when the cue was being brought back after the shot. The cue ball did not come back...

    Strangest rules you've ever seen?

    Technically, aren't you supposed to ask your opponent if it's a foul before grabbing ball in hand? Otherwise everything sides with the shooter without a ref, right? Though it's obvious in this case he was abusing the rule since it was obvious to both by the sounds of it. "Country" league...

    Flying with pool cues

    Buy a larger softball/baseball bag. The cue (in case) will fit in the part that holds the softball bats. Just get a big enough softball bag to hold whatever else you need to pack. Worked great for me when I went to Vegas for VNEA nationals.

    I went through this a few months ago. Tried to start a new thread and received the message that a MOD would have to approve it before it would get posted. Nothing happened for a bit. Sent a MOD an email and eventually it was approved to be posted. The problem is that it is posted with the...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    I'm sure this has been pointed out a million times, but I guess I never realized that the cue ball in relation to the 5 ball is in a totally different position for the 1 handed shot before Fast Eddie comes in vs after it pans back to Vince. It's an off angle shot originally, then when it pans...

    Bizarre league situation, how would you handle?

    In our leagues the break is predetermined depending on if you are the visiting or home team. Visiting team breaks 1st and 3rd rounds. Home team breaks 2nd and 4th rounds.

    Bizarre league situation, how would you handle?

    I should add that the other team's captain did speak to a few people not involved with the match before coming up with that decision.

    Bizarre league situation, how would you handle?

    Player 3 was like in shock, just had no idea that the game was going on already. Player 7 (the breaker) was perfectly fine rebreaking. But his captain jumped in and stated what if there is a rebreak and he breaks dry and then player 3 runs out and wins. To which our team replied then we will...

    Bizarre league situation, how would you handle?

    Ok, so given your opinion supergreenman, do you think it should have been a 10-0 forfeit (or unsportsmanlike) win based on what did happen?

    Meucci collection

    Can you give any information on the bottom cue (from the top down picture), the furthest right cue (on the left to right picture)? I bought one about 18 months ago and is the cue I'm using currently. Love the feel of it. Curious on when it was made, value, anything else. Thanks!

    Why do you do that?

    These are more for bar pool, which i played a lot growing up and don't mind doing on occasion on a night just out. 1) putting up multiple quarters in the slots to be able to play multiple games if you lose. It's bar pool, you lose, you go to the end of the line (quarter slot). 2) People...

    Last Pocket 8 Ball

    Last pocket was the main game in my small home town in Wisconsin. No ball in hand (they don't play any ball in hand in any game). Scratches in the kitchen. And you had the option of 3 or more rail into any pocket.

    "New" member: My introduction

    Question Blake, did you have any trouble with your first post, or I should say starting your own thread? I have lurked here quite a while (not 10 years) and posted a handful of times. But last week I tried to start my own thread and got the following message: "Thank you for posting! Your post...
