    Real leather cases?

    I once bought a really cool leather jacket in Florence. I was scared it was fake leather. We then went to the orphanage/leather school (Scuola del Cuoio) and we were given a demonstration by a leather smith. I asked him if my jacket was real, he said "This is lamb skin, we eat this meat. It...

    I need a Pool Purse.

    I'm traveling and I did not take my Instroke, so I bought one of these for my 2x2 case. (I actually get three cues in my 2x2: Playing, Jump, Break) But I needed something for my shaper and chalk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9RQP8GL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

    Up and coming cue makers to invest in???

    If you put $1,000 in the S&P in June of 1990 and reinvested the dividends you would have about 31k in May of 2025.

    Do you shoot pool with a hat on?

    Oooh, if I ever become a hustler, I'll wear my tam to the hall. That should bring about some action. That and a good pair of suspenders. Although my tam is part of the most expensive outfit I've ever worn...

    For those of You that don't know... The BreakRAK is getting some attention...

    I think the benefit from this product would be the time saved factor. How long does it take you to gather the balls up and re-rack. How much of your back do you use and make sore bending over racking? If you could take 20 swings in just a few minutes as comparted to 20 swings in 30-40 minutes...

    YES! I watched a guy who should have won a tournament have to bow out because of his bad back. He damn near jumped higher than the table trying to break. This was on 8 foot tables. His break was fantastic! It was at that time, I started breaking only using my wrist and a bit of arm swing cause...

    Advice On This Shot

    I once seen a guy hit a true 90 degree shot from the left corner pocket to the right corner pocket with the object ball on the spot... If only that guy were here to give us sage advice.... :)

    I put it in my cleaner (Clean Gleem) and it turned out just fine. I used V10, Predator, and Masters. I didn't seem to have a problem with chalk sticking more than any other cue ball.

    Not a bad solution. Better to be 100% right all the time.

    I found a cue I do not know how to use.

    I just hope you didn't find that by Googling "Two butts, one cue".....

    Technical Notes and User Experience Feedback on the DigiBall While using the DigiBall, I encountered a few minor technical issues—none of which were dealbreakers, but they’re worth noting for future product development or user documentation improvements. Bluetooth Interference with Medical...

    DigiBall First Impressions and Hands-On Experience I had the opportunity to test the DigiBall for just over a week, and while I was only able to use it in play about four times during that period, I made the most of the experience. Throughout the week, I not only got to try the product but...

    Digiball Shot preview. I did not realize the text was still on the screen on this recording. But you can see on this video the ball hit prediction. This is accomplished by delaying the video from the feed of the ball and data on the screen. So you see where I will hit the ball before I hit it in...

    Digiball jump test: This went really well as you are hitting the cue ball on the face almost normal. I didn't try any of the short jumps where you might have to hit the ball almost vertically....

    Digiball Masse: It definitely has trouble recognizing the masse hit, but this was not that big of a deal. I was having some OBS technical difficulties and did not realize the Digiball on screen had disappeared on my successful hit.
