i have been playing pool since i was 10 or younger ..... i dislike all the new fangled items such CF shafts ... TAOM chalk ... and the Michael Jackson gloves
Been playing for 65 years and I agree
I don't use a glove........ I like maple shafts best..................... but I do use TAOM chalk.............. LOL
Why change with works? NY Yankees logo is same, and works well.
Howdy All;
'nutter ol' fart here. Next month I'll celebrate 61 years behind a cue. The colors were fine until
a few years ago when "the powers that be" decided to change them for tv. Folks wonder why I
I tend to get a bit upset when folks say change is gooud.
Yellow, Blue, Red, Pink, ORANGE, Green, Muddy maroon, Black, Stripes inna same order with
WHITE sides.

Cannonball comin’!
Rainbows. Every ball will be a rainbow and where the circle used to be will be a snowflake, BUT the snowflakes can’t repeat because well, ya know. Also, no numbers just infinity symbols.
Please explain.....hehe

Original wood shafts on my cues & I play with Centennial pool balls as much as possible.
That’s why I own 3 sets. The Centennial colors are the best & the look is absolutely classic.
Masters chalk works fine; I did buy carton of BD chalk 7-8 yrs ago. I’ll never have to buy any
chalk again. Prefer ivory ferrules because it resists chalk discoloration & the sound is unique.
Used to play with a cue weighing 20.4 ozs. Now I just play with cues weighing 2 ounces lighter.
The more one becomes educated about cues, the easier transitioning to a different cue becomes.
Technological improvements are changing pool. Look at how long Willie’s record stood and look
at many players have now exceeded it in the last few years. Well, it doesn’t just happen that way.

I've been playing for 105 years and I don't remember what the ball colors are supposed to be.

Thought Colors, was great movie about LAPD CRASH Unit.
Well, personally I prefer lighter colored balls, use a glove and have a cf shaft that I really like. I have gone back to using Blue Diamond chalk which IMO is better than Masters. Maybe I haven't played steadily since the 60's but now I do play daily.
Pool is not an easy game and as you get older other factors tend to make it more difficult. If there is some piece of equipment that helps you play better why wouldn't you use it?

I like Green better than Blue, or any color for table covering.
Can't be worse than bright colored ferrules.
But,.the old school Centennial colors are perfect

Not to side track the thread but the one and only reason that record stood so long is because nobody plays straight pool and nobody cared about that record and therefore nobody made any real effort to beat it. Finally one guy (not even an upper tier pro) decided he cared and broke it within a few months of serious effort. Then along came a top player who took only a few days to beat it.
Dozens of players today (even some players from other completely unrelated cue sports like snooker etc) could break Mosconi's old record within a few months if they cared enough or were otherwise sufficiently motivated to give it a serious effort, and there were players all along the way between then and now that could have beat it too although never as many as there are today. While it is a fantastic accomplishment worthy of serious praise, people way over estimated how difficult Mosconi's record was to beat, and way under estimated that today's best players are better than Mosconi and the extent to which that is true.
