    This is silly

    Hard to believe that you guys have been sitting around questioning this lady and her references for half a year, and yet no Florida members have ventured out to play pool with her.

    Re: Weighing Pool Balls.

    I'd only have to do it once. After that, I'd remember which was the oddball.

    Re: Myth of the center ball hit

    14 Ball,

    I would not be surprised to learn that Bob would make that claim. He has always been quite the salesman.

    In the early 1970s, I was in college at Ole Miss, and Bob Meucci had his...

    Re: What Makes a Good Break Cue Good?

    Re: What's a Fair Monthly Unlimited Play Rate?

    Tom,

    I'm sure it varies geographically, but I can give you several examples from poolrooms in Dallas, Texas:

    Re: Making a kick shot down the rail

    Brad,

    It won't work, except for a narrow range of cue-ball approach angles. Using the method as drawn, you would be aiming at exactly the same point regardless of how far the cueball is from the...
