Waste of money pool items

Get me a scholarship or teaching post in the Middle East or East Africa.

Willing to build pool community.
Middle East ...Israel... the language is written/read from right to left. I wonder if straight pool is counted backwards...
Start at 100 play to 0...Hmmmm

Won't a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment work just as well? I got to believe it's easier on the fabric as well instead of rubbing the x-1 against the cloth all the time.
X-1 does no damage to cloth. Not a substitute for a full vac job but they work great for a quik clean after a session. You don't use it like a damp rag, light pressure and speed is how they work.
 
biggest waste of $ pool item in my experience? Expensive, name brand gloves. They all rip apart after a few months, at least all of my molinaris and kamui's have. My friend also has the predator......ripping. I have switched to these amazon cheapies. They are just as good, and seem to even hold up better. A ten pack for $10. Im done with the name brand ones.
I think what is hardest on gloves are gloves that are too small for ones hand. I have a larger hand and need a 2XL glove to fit properly, and they are difficult to find. The only 2XL gloves that I can find are these listed in the link below, and they are of very good quality. They are predator, but at a fair price. I even got them on sale for $9.99 each.
Speaking of gloves, the biggest waste of money I have spent on gloves, and in fact any pool item, was the 'Unglove' shown in the link below. First off, it doesn't fit well and doesn't cover enough of the hand to be totally effective. Also, they are overpriced at about $20 each. I will give props to the individual who sells them, willing to return my money or give me a couple extra for my troubles, but they didn't fit either nor did they cover the hand enough. Really, a complete waste of money.

Two hobbys have always been pool and poker. I can’t recall how many times I’ve bluffed shoved $2k or more. Sometimes it worked and other times it didn’t. Pool is definitely on the cheaper end of “waste” lol.
 
I offer diverse language offerings.

I mainly speak English, however professionally I rely on a few phrases.

That is when I got the idea for an academic instructional/fitness/independent learning book. A multilingual book that provides phonetic and native phrases in their alphabet. I can promote the need for a global community to have a common language for solving problems to mutually benefit everyone. Usually I get a phone call or email and that is how it starts.

I am trying to build a reputation as an organizer of users from many languages that might be interested in math, billiards, basic international phrases, physics or experimental laboratory practices. No one can say what the billiard community is, I plan to write some suspense and narrate my personal background as a scientists, scholar, billiard player and resident of Earth with a human soul.

There would also be an free interactive website with automated learning tools.

This the xxxth draft for my book jacket or agent pitch.

I wouldn't be playing the games, just researching the life style and making observations.

In the US billiards is a social game, it is acceptable to play between men and women. In college no one had any problems using the table in the basement. Even at work I have been able to invite people into pool rooms and it is not thought of as a date.

I see middle eastern students playing basketball and lifting weights. It was rare they would show interest in the billiard table. The girls were more open to the billiard table, then playing in basketball or lifting weights. I introduced 3 and one went to ABC.

If I worked a math program abroad, it would likely be here is a journal of shots, you will be tested weekly in person or on video and given three attempts each shot. As for teaching math I am familiar with the limited English responses from Middle Eastern male or female students. I've had years of practice helping them as friends in university. I tutored a talented student from Saudi, a female mathematician.

Sometimes they say look them up. If Heyball is good I will look into rural teaching English China.

Damn glove holders now? Thought that was your hand

Make sure y'all buy the leather protector for your cue case so your case doesn't get scratched up. Oh and you'll need sealant for that so the protector doesn't come off.

Keep the case in the AC or the sealant will melt.
 
I'm thinking maybe a predator sticker so I stand out from the crowd. And people will know I'm a serious player. Actually in apa I'm a SL 5 but some say that's B.S.
 
Yep. Multiple other conversation. Not only does he not deny it, he just makes more concerning comments as he goes, including asking me to hook him up

He should have been permanently banned. He was at one time, I believe, but somehow got back in. Creep and a troll.
 
I won't call this a complete waste of money, because I do use it sometimes, but a two position 'claw' cue holder. It just isn't heavy enough to stabilize on the edge of a table when I only have one stick on it. It tends to offset and almost fall off the table because it is on the small side. If you are looking to buy a claw, I would recommend a three position and just use two of the positions for your playing stick and break stick.
 
I added a magnetic clip to my "homemade claw device" and then added magnetic film to the cue at two points..

This way the magnetized cue stick locks to the magnetic claw.

It looks like its magically standing.
