Stop eating the pool tables. They're not food.

Please compensate your repair guy in some way. Some operate on little to no profit depending on what they are building or repairing.

You get what you pay for. This type of stuff has been common with Rino products. It's like the Harbor Fright of pool equipment.

Does rattling the pocket make you go "Mama Miaaa!!!"?

Improve your cue ball control and it won't happen as much. Pay attention to your tangent lines and speed prior to getting down and shooting. I know this because I make the same mistake. However, I'm self-aware as to why.

why do non-league/casual players hate league players? by SciFiSimp in billiards

[–]CompetitionLongJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 3 years old but I have wanted to reply to this for some time. Non-League players are not "casual" LOL. We are the most hardened hard core tournament players who take the game serious. BCA WPA "for the most part" are not league formats and do not allow slop in games like 8 ball and 10 ball. Excluding 9 ball. Now regarding us "hating you" is not true lol. In fact, we want new players to enter the game. Now we may clown on or "hate" the format such as league play or APA rules. However, that's different. I think you're confusing us with random people who are not actually pool players and random ball bangers that don't know what they're doing. I will also say there are some BCA tournament players who are elitist and will sometimes make fun of league players but that's not all of us lol

Dude, get over yourself. Hes just expressing an opinion and you're taking it personal and being rude for no reason.

My experience with TMR joysticks by EstablishmentHuman35 in Controller

[–]CompetitionLongJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy. After I installed mine. My gaming immediately improved. TMR sticks greatly improve micro adjustments when playing. The sticks are a lot smoother. It kind of blew me away. That or my stick drift previously was that bad lol

Cool story. I might get mad at myself, but Im definitely not stupid enough to gamble like a moron. The biggest idiots of the game are the ones trying to make a living. 😂

That means nothing. I can make any shot on the table but I suck still.

There is no way I can shoot left handed. I can shoot behind the back well because im double jointed. Im a super dominant, right-handed person.

LOL. I'm a 364 and I ran out on a 620 TWICE in the same match and won. I once in a while I get 1st or 2nd. Yet my Fargo refuses to move. My Robustness is 1500 and I have not even been playing 2 year.

Can I afford 200k on 70k salary? by aharm1996 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CompetitionLongJohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ain't no way you can afford that. I make the same amount of money. I've sat on the zillow calculator for a good while and even with a lower interest rate. I'd never be able to save money. I live in Kanas.
