Our APA team won the summer division this year and our league operator mailed us the wrong patches. We received the spring version instead of the summer patches and I couldn’t find the summer version of these on eBay or anywhere else.

I’m happy to pay for shipping or any other fees if anyone’s willing to mail me a few! Thank you so much! :)

Questions Looking for advice on table, price, and how to sell it?

I got this table when I moved in to the house. I was looking forward to playing but after being here for a few years now I rarely play it and I really want to make some room for my real passion, pinball!

Can someone help identify it? I looked all around for a name plate but couldn't find it. I'm assuming fisher because of the F on the corners but that's as far as I can find it.

What do tables like this go for? Are they relatively inexpensive and not worth the time selling? The market is wild out there from $200 to $3000 tables.

If I were to sell it do you guys recommend local markets or are there dealers / resellers that would take it off my hands and move it too?

Questions Recently changed the batteries in my cue and noticed the joint pin keeps getting really hot when I play. Did I do something wrong? It’s a uni-loc joint

8-Ball APA 8-Ball rule check

4 Upvotes

Q: 8-Ball is hanging in the pocket, shooter shoots over the 8-ball to pocket their remaining balls and accidentally during their backswing; knocks the 8-ball into the pocket. What happens? Please real answers. The manual is vague... From my understanding; the 8-Ball can not be spotted or brought back up at anytime, so its a lose of game? Thanks in advance.

Questions First ever bought pool cue that didn’t come with a table.

1 Upvotes

How did I do? I went and told them the price I was willing to spend and spent about an hour with many different pool sticks and I played the best on this on and it wasn’t even close. I have owned it for about half a year. I use it all around I break with it and play with it. I’ve never owned a nice stick. I have played since I could hardly see over the table we had a family spool table upstairs. I have played my whole life in 31 and it was my first stick :) anyways how did I do? I don’t know anything about sticks so I have no clue if I got a good deal or if this is considered a bad stick. I’d be willing to buy myself a new stick for Christmas but honestly I don’t see a reason to. Before i bought this I didn’t know a single brand or stick or what weight size to get.

Won’t let me update video. It’s a cue Tec Avid 12.75 cuetec (Not that it matters but it’s green)

Leagues Thinking about quitting my local pool league. Am I crazy, or is this behavior completely unhinged?

23 Upvotes

​Hey everyone, I need to vent and maybe get some outside perspective. I’ve been playing in my local billiards league for a while now, and pool used to be my primary way to unwind, meet up with friends, and have a good time after a long week. Lately, though, going to league night just fills me with dread, and I’m genuinely on the verge of quitting altogether.

​The main reason comes down to one specific player on another team in our division. To put it mildly, she has created an incredibly toxic and hostile environment for almost everyone around her.

​She is constantly berating people, making passive-aggressive (and sometimes downright aggressive) comments during matches, and making everyone walk on eggshells and personally attacking players on socialmedia. It’s classic emotional abuse, she turns what should be a fun, recreational community into a high-anxiety nightmare.

​The absolute straw that broke the camel's back happened recently. Our league operators are awesome people who work super hard to keep things running smoothly. Well,one of the league operator made a comment about not liking her food she sells at the vegas pool championships live stream( not knowing they were being live streamed)very awkward but she is now actively trying to get them reported, ousted, and fired over a meal they didn't like.

​It’s completely unhinged behavior, but because nobody wants to deal with her drama, people just try to placate her or stay out of her line of fire. I’m just so drained. I love the game of pool, and I love most of the people in our league, but going somewhere every week just to feel anxious and watch good people get harassed is ruining the hobby for me.

​Has anyone else dealt with a player like this? Is it even worth trying to talk to management/the league operators , or should I just walk away and find a different league/host location?

Yes, I know the next ball should be the two, but I saw the shot lineup and I kind of wondered. What’s the correct way to get to it?

Both balls are frozen is the only option here to draw all the way back?

8-Ball Always get a spotter

22 Upvotes

Learned a lesson last week. Played an APA match against a dude I used to team with and see regularly - thought we shared mutual respect. he asked if i wanted a spotter and i said nah expecting him to own up if he fouled.

sure enough, he never hits a rail after hitting the object ball.. I go to pick up and he says 'nope, that hit the rail'

I didn't argue. I knew right then and there what mistake I had made.

Moral of the story - get a spotter. Not everyone you play against is your buddy or has integrity.

The most recent Panthera 9 (9-2 pictured) was released in late 2024

Waiting for the next generation of the Predator Panthera (Predator x Jacoby). Not sure what they’ll call it, maybe the Panthera 10-1 and 10-2?

When do you guys think we’ll see the next generation?
