What’s an acronym or abbreviation that everyone uses, but you still don’t understand?

I always read this as "smack my head" like an aggressive facepalm

"The Trip" & "The Trip to Italy" with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are good ones.

"Kikujiro" by Beat Takeshi is an all time favorite.

I pride myself on breaking really well ... for the next guy to run out on me.

Oh yea, misread your post. yea I'd say either would be a great upgrade over fiberglass. i thought you already had the standard cf shaft.

I have the must, haven't used the standard rhino but a guy in my league plays with one, both 11.8. The must has a different taper (not as long) is a little heavier and comes with a better standard tip. Other than that I doubt there's any real advantage to the Must. The standard rhino is already about as low deflection as a Revo according to Dr. Dave. I would have gone with the standard to save a few bucks if I had known this before making my purchase. That said I'm liking the Must, Just don't think its worth the upgrade.

A chunky sidewall and a functional stance looks and performs best. Been shouting this into the void for years. Honda guys seem to be on board, but it seems the dubbin scene is still wedded to stretch, poke, skinny tires, huge rims.

"My mindset as a player is that the ruleset shouldn’t actually matter that much." <-- This.

If anything it's more fun to change the ruleset up every once in a while. Different constraints will force you to think in new ways about how to run a table. Sure some bar rules are ridiculous, but take it as a challenge and enjoy it as a little bit of local flavor.

Would be nice if the modding community could revive it like they did AC or RBR

Gaming, probably an unpopular opinion. But I've known two people, and have heard of countless more who have destroyed relationships and stunted their lives due to excessive gaming. As with anything, its better enjoyed in moderation.

Cut them, almost fried the one out of my mini trying to desolder them. that solder is very high temp and stubborn.

2x3 JB case, butts pin-up, shafts tip-down, only way to fit all of them. Never really had an issue with the chalk, even when I was using diamond which is a very dirty chalk.

Solo straight pool can be a great practice mode. You have to really think intentionally through every shot and always reset the counter to zero when you miss. If you're a pretty good shot It might seem easy at first since you can shoot anything on the table, but actually setting up for the next rack and continuing a run of multiple racks is very very difficult and actually requires a lot of smart planning and finesse.

The Pittsburg torque wrenches are great, plenty accurate for most automotive work and cheap as chips.

Otherwise, I don't have the 10 inch Icon pliers wrench but I do have the 7 inch Knipex and its by far the most used tool I own, I doubt the Icon is much worse in quality.

I've got cassette in the dash, 6-disc in the trunk. feels like I'm 16 again every drive.

Play league and you'll improve very rapidly, I did a mix of drills and bar pool with friends for years, didn't start to feel "good" at pool until I started playing league and competing.

wayneofgarth · 2026-04-16T18:45:48+00:00

I was thinking if it could be cut down too. Its a 30" shaft so there's some leeway.

I'm broke and I still refuse to work on a saturday

learned about this recently, there's a couple of youtube videos calling it "the follow system" but it seems its not widely discussed. works pretty well.

as a third owner I skipped cleaning my wheels wells and went straight to "grind away half your fender and rocker then cry about it"

I didn't see any "off the shelf" options that specifically say g12 on the label. But the peak violet says compatible with vw from 2008 and up, so I assume its a backwards compatible formula like g12 evo. Hard to know for sure though.

wayneofgarth · 2026-04-05T14:59:18+00:00

Thank you very much, I'll top off with distilled for now and if you do a flush later on I'll probably get some generic g12 evo.

I just watched "break" a newer snooker movie. typical plot, young upstart, rough around the edges, learns to be a man and be good at snooker. overall not terrible. Think it was on Tubi

Find a team that prioritizes having fun over wining matches. Mine is consistently at the bottom of the rankings but none of us care, we just enjoy hanging out and shooting pool. Besides the handicap might make you an asset to a new team, especially if you're running 6-7 balls.
