I'm still getting the billiards portal that spawns pop ups from hell.

Thanks for the confirmation. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

anybody been over there in the last hour? what comes up now is some sort of billiards sales portal.

I have to agree with you on this. 9 ball can hurt your 8ball game. I think the major reason is with 8ball you have to play tighter position a lot of times especially if you're a table runner. 9...

I'm familiar with the APA timeouts. I just happen to not agree with them, especially in the match play format that the APA uses. Time outs tend to make a long evening even longer.

Players can...

I personally don't think time outs should be allowed. This is a competitive event, not pool school. Save the learning for outside of league play and play with the skills you've brought to the...

Tough luck, this is one area where the rules can be easily taken advantage of by the shooter or his opponent. I take pains to play every game as if it's all fouls that way I don't put myself in that...

Thanks for setting me straight Blackjack.

Those are from his book. I think it may be out of print, but he has been very willing to share knowledge in the past.

I find prices on the Internet (fleabay) tend to be a little lower in the spring - mid summer.

Dave, I will definately be able to make use of the book, I just need the right combination of time and motivation. It's interesting to note that I picked up a book written by the Miz. Other than...

Up here in Canada we have a pretty good library system. (At least where I'm from) At any rate, I was browsing the on-line catalog for billiards related material when I came across Dr. Daves book. ...

Here is a link for a virtual tour of the hall I play out of.

When this question came up last year, maybe it was here or on AZbilliards, my answer was mixed. I said at that time it depends on who I'm playing. Since then I think I must have growed (sic) up. ...

While the phenolic tip is almost indestructable, you may find it smooths out over time from breaking. I will take a light metal file and give it a little wack every 2 or 3 months.

Last high number of balls I saw go down was 7 4 of one suit 3 of another. The guy lost after running 3 balls and missing shape on the 8.

Oh well.

I wouldn't use a nail gun to finish cabnets, I wouldn't use a snooker cue to play pool with. There's a reason they're designed different. Snooker balls are smaller and therefore get less spin from...
