Appreciate everybody's reply. I'm going to buy a shaft with a pro taper. Thanks again!

I have a Helmstetter billiard cue with a wood screw joint. I like how the cue plays but billiard cues do not have a pro taper on the shaft. I only play pool and never play billiards. I was wondering if it would be smart to have the shaft turned down and put a pro taper on it or am I just...

Yes, her team Answer That just won the VNEA International Intermediate division this year. Also, she won a Charley for singles as well... 3rd place but not sure if it was in 8 ball or 9 ball, Masters division. In years past for VNEA: http://www.vnea.com/PastTrWinners.pdf She's won: Women's...

"And I have yet to get my lessons!" Ha! Great read. Congrats on the coverage.

I'd love to buy and shoot with cues that cost a grand, but I simply can't afford it. And if I could, I'd be worried sick about losing it or leaving it in a bar somewhere.

What is that bright light... there, at the end of the tunnel... wait, I think I've died and gone to Heaven. ;) Thanks, Scaramouche. I think you must be an angel...

I'm with Andrew. If they had to change one rule, I'd prefer it be 'open after the break.' I'd also like to see them adopt a rule that says if you call a safe you can pocket a ball and not have to keep shooting. That comes in handy sometimes. I'd also like to see them shorten the nights to four...

There's no BCA or TAP around where I live. Just APA and Valley. Most of the better players prefer Valley and I do too, only because you get money back at the end of the sessions, can win money at state and international tournies, and best of all, it doesn't last all freakin' night. Personally...

Yet another reason why I hate nine ball. Poor Mika.

I keep copies of each week's scoresheet in a binder. Then I forget to bring the binder nearly every week. ;) We get our schedules all at the same time, but if someone loses theirs, one of the others always has an extra.

Nope. Sorry, only one table in that joint. But I'll keep my eye out for your culprit.

Not that much to it, really. I just dreamt that I was in this one bar on league night and someone left behind a white cue. I started shooting with it, shot well, and wanted to keep it. Some of my friends call me the "White Widow" too, either because of my cue color or because I never get a...

I play with a plain white McDermott that I gave my buddy sixty bucks for. I gotta play with a white stick, because of a dream I once had.

Thanks for that. I love Mika.

Yes. A smaller event. I did a bit better there but in the open it was only a race to two. That was scary. The playing facilities weren't as nice but the rooms were as nice and cheaper than Adam's Mark. Yes, you did. I kept secretly hoping you guys would lose before we'd have to play you. But I...

I was there. It was my first IN Vnea tourney and I was pretty impressed just with the atmosphere and size. Much better than Michigan's. Congrats to Sunny and Tina, who I now see post to this board. Lucky for me, I didn't have to face you Sunny but my teammate did. I think I saw Tina a time or...

Wish I could be in two places at one time but I'll be at the Sandusky, OH tourny instead. The BF might go. We went last year on Saturday. Good stuff. I see a lot of Michigan-area players are playing but most from our local qualifiers are already in the one loss bracket.

I made my way to an APA 6 with a Cuetec. I play with a McDermott now only because I like the English better. I didn't mind the 'ping' of the Cuetec, tho it seemed to bother others (mostly boys).

Yep. That's my downside. I'm a natural right hander who plays left handed and when I switch hands, I feel like a retard with the glove on the wrong hand. When I first used my glove (Sir Joseph) I found that the inside seams bothered me as well. I clipped them back as far as possible... too far...

What rules? In APA, if I was up I'd take a chance and try the kick. If you can legally make a ball and call a safety you could've done that but then he could've saftied you back, just leaving you a hard bank. It's a tough call. With a little roll your 13 might've snookered his eight as you were...
