    Review of Gulyassy Shaft Freeze

    I believe Mike is offering kits for this process, but I'll let him reply. He generally watches this forum.

    Review of Gulyassy Shaft Freeze

    Just thought I'd drop a quick review of the Shaft Freeze that Mike Gulyassy is offering out of his shop (see link). http://www.babysproshop.com/shaft_freeze.htm First of all, it took less than a week to turn around. The price is about $70. You pay him $60 for the process and return...

    Panther J/B Cue Advice

    Wow I'm surprised that with all of the users of this forum, no one has experience with this cue. Any have alternatives for under $100?

    Panther J/B Cue Advice

    I have a young friend with limited funds that is considering purchasing a Panther J/B sight unseen. Anyone have experience with these? He's looking for a J/B under $100. Thanks in advance for your responses.

    Running out of steam...

    I'm in the same boat as far as the early rising and league (no diabetes). I prefer not to have caffine in the pm because it keeps me awake at night. So when I'm feeling especially wiped out, I'll do some stretching and walking around to get the blood moving a bit. If that's not working, I...

    Newbie tip change question

    I've been putting on my own layerd tips for years. I do not have a lathe. I've had tips put on while I was at tournaments by someone with a lathe, and I honestly I don't notice any difference once it's shaped and scuffed. Certainly you want someone who has experience doing tips to take care...

    "Shaft Freeze"

    Mike, So if I read your website info correctly, you're charging $40 per shaft. Do you need a $25 money order for shipping as well? Either way, I'll be send you a shaft this Friday.

    "Shaft Freeze"

    I have one of Mike's new J/B shafts. It has the slickest feel I've ever used. I use it quite a bit, and I haven't noticed any need to clean the shaft (backing up Mike's claim that chalk and dirt doesn't get into the wood). I am certainly interested in getting my existing shafts treated. Will...

    Did the TD make the right call??

    Why did the TD disqualify him? If everything was still within the limit of the rules, it seems like an easy call to let the match go on as scheduled.

    My Pool Hall's new handicap/rating system

    Certainly an interesting concept. It appears to be more like straight pool scoring. Also, defensive shots seem to only be for the "breaking" player to defend from points being scored. Whereas the non-breaking player would opt for ball count. I think the system would be better for 9-ball than...

    Ever know a match is about to go bad

    I was thinking my story was more like a country song, but I forgot to mention Willie Nelson, trains, momma, pickup trucks, etc.

    New Billiard Magazine for Men - Maxim Billiards

    Dear Maxim Billiards forum, I don't usually write letters like this, but I just have to tell you about my extra special matchup last night. It all began when the Sweedish gymnastic team came to our local pool room. ;)

    Ever know a match is about to go bad

    I had one of the worst matches of my life last night. It started ok, but quickly took a bad turn. And even when it did, I was in denial for time. I matched up with a guy I normally beat, but we're usually competitive; a good test of skill and nerve. I break the first 8-ball rack cleanly, and...

    Karma is a witch (and so is the other teams captain...)

    Same thing happened to me, but more friendly I play in a few different leagues, so I sometimes forget which rules I'm playing by that night. In the first game, I didn't mark the pocket and shot in the 8. My opponent and their team are all good sports, so they let it slide. We've all known...

    Shameless bragging

    Congrats! As someone who bounces between SL6 & 7, it sounds like you stepped up your game in consistency and intensity. Good goin'.

    TAP League

    Thanks everyone! And ... Thanks for all the good insight. Just to clarify, I'm not looking to sandbag. I'm looking for ways to identify sandbaggers. What would be their tactics? In the APA, I'm a 6/7 (bouncing). When I play a sandbagging SL4, I just keep the innings down to 3 or less...
