Shouldn't those red things be hearts? /ccboard/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hmmm ... I'll take four of these, if they come with keys /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Croquet, anyone?

I'm guessing that they go over your eyes when you're on a tanning bed?

My thoughts exactly. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Croquet on a Pool Table might actually be a fun game. Without Cue Ball Control, you would not score well.

A fellow in Dallas has thought up a Pool Game called the NFL. The game is played in Sports Bars at the Monday Nite Football gatherings. It is supposed to be some real fun. Scoring is done with combination of numbers instead of making just one ball.

I have a picture of one of those things around here somewhere.

Looks like a "sticky wicket" to me.

Hmmmmm.....I wonder what I'll be making at work tommorow.

I've already got a homemade stroketrainer, stroke perfector and cue extender. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

.....all of that and my stroke still sucks!!! /ccboard/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ccboard/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Look at the bright side. You didn't pay for all of those wonderful inventions. /ccboard/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[HALHOULE]

I WAS THERE WHEN THE FIRST WICKED WICKET WAS WICKED INTO THE TURF. I HAD A WONDERFULLY WICKED TIME.

[houseman]

I bought one of these for my customers to use in my pool room. Some struggle with it for quite a while until they figure out the deflection of their cue. I also bought the stroke trainer and was amazed at some of the better players how they moved it trying to do that properly.
Thats my story and im sticking to it !!!

[tjlmbklr]

DAMN someone beat me to it. I have been pondering this invention for a while.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job though.

LOL....actually it was fun making them and modifiing them as well.I've got a ball return ramp and can actually hit balls from my kitchen table.Actually my stroke's not too bad, however, I'm sure it would be a lot better if I used what I've built.

I'm sure it's a great training tool, however, for me...boring.
