Eleven years ago we moved into a new house just outside of Phoenix, Arizona, and we had our first, in-ground pool installed. The whole family has spent most of every summer jumping in it, shooting basketballs at the hoop, playing volleyball and trying out various toys that float, shoot water, and travel underneath.
  1. Select it and choose “8-Ball” From there you’ll be presented with a message with a triangular play icon. Tap it and you can start making moves. After each turn, tap the V-shaped button in the top right to shrink the gameplay screen.
  2. Changing the pool cue weight, in most cues, can be a quick and easy way to change the way your cue feels. When ordering a cue from Ozone Billiards, most cues have weight options you can select online but if you want to change the weight after you shoot with it you'll want to manually change the weight by removing the butt cap and the weight bolts that are loaded in the pool cue butt.
  3. And if you are a beginner, or seriously working on your game for the first time, you can expect your own preferences to change as your game matures. Shun a cue that’s more than two parts, has a screw-on tip, is painted in festive colors, or is made in Taiwan.

The one thing we haven't enjoyed? The messy disaster constantly left by the birds who stop by every few minutes to drink from the spillway between the hot tub and the pool itself. Pigeon
I've been searching for how to keep pigeons away from my pool for YEARS - and FINALLY found a pretty solution that's cheap, quiet, and safe.
It took quite some time to get to this point, though. I'd try something, it wouldn't work, I'd try something else, it wouldn't work - and so on. In fact, I'd given up a couple of years ago and just become used to hosing off the patio surrounding the pool several times a week.
We did train our Chihuahua to run after the pigeons and bark to scare them off. He's not much of a barker but if you say 'Go get the birds!' he's off and running and sharing his specific 'get out of my yard' bark. That certainly wasn't 100% reliable as it only worked if the dog and an adult were on the patio.
Then new neighbors moved in behind us and hung a reflective owl from a chain attached to the peak of their roof. I work on my back patio most of the year (it's a pleasant at-home office - most of the time - I'll have to do a separate post on how I stay cool outside when temps reach 110+!).
I admired them giving it a shot but that owl hanging from the chain became annoying. It sounded like a loud, clinking, unpleasant wind chime. I began to detest that owl as it distracted me from my work whenever the slightest breeze blew. It did, though, seem to keep the pigeons away - for a bit.
Not a few days later, we had a day with stronger winds and that owl blew up under the eaves, became stuck, and stopped doing its job as a pigeon deterrent.
Bye-bye owl. He disappeared the next day and I can only assume the neighbors realized that was not going to work and probably also hated the clanging noise of the chain.
Several people had suggested a plastic owl but, based on everything I'd read, most people see results like this person in the following video. It works a bit but either not for long or not 100%.
But the fact that the neighbor's owl was reflective got me thinking and I went back online to see why the reflective piece seemed so important. It seems that pigeons do not like things that are shiny and reflect sunlight.
I immediately whipped out a piece of tin foil and weighted it down with a rock across the spillway of the pool. Surprisingly, the pigeons would swoop in for water and then - like a plane that decides to divert their landing at the last minute - the bird would swoop up and away, never landing on the patio.
Unfortunately, a large chunk of tinfoil flailing about on the patio near the pool didn't seem a very attractive solution (and while I want the pigeons gone I wasn't ready to give up a nice looking patio!).
That led to some more research and a test of something surprisingly simple - and pretty! And SAFE!
I got some reflective kids' party pinwheels and some galvanized metal buckets that I thought were attractive enough for the patio. I put two pinwheels in each bucket and filled the bucket with rocks from the yard.
I wanted the two pinwheels to stay back-to-back but even with the rocks in place they shifted in the wind. I then taped the stems of the pinwheel wands together to hold them in place and that has done the trick.
Game The rocks keep the buckets weighted so they don't blow over in the wind - although hubby is waiting for the day a more severe wind comes along and dumps rocks and all right into the pool.
Either way - as long as the sun is shining on the pinwheels so they're reflective, the pigeons stay away. They still try - coming in for the swoop - but fly off without landing as soon as they catch a glimpse of the pinwheels.
In fact, they're not even landing on the neighbors' houses anymore which makes me think the only reason the neighbors had to worry about pigeon mess was our pool. I think I'll keep that little fact to myself....
What I particularly like about this effective method of keeping the birds away from our pool and patio is that it's such an attractive solution. I love the bright colors, the pinwheels move with even the slightest breeze, and they don't make any noise. No batteries to worry about, either, and it won't hurt the birds or our dog.
The one thing I'm going to try next, though, is to get a deep pot for planting succulents and put the pinwheels in the pots so I'll have an even prettier sight around the various edges of the patio and pool.

Supplies Needed

Set of Mylar Rainbow Pinwheels
Set of 3 Tapered French Style Galvanized Buckets
Small to medium sized rocks to weight the bucket
Tape to hold pinwheel wands together


Step by Step Instructions

This is so easy you don't really need instructions but here's what I did:
1. Tape the wands of TWO pinwheels together so the pinwheels are back to back
2. Put 2 inches of rocks into the bottom of the metal buckets
3. Place the taped pinwheel wands into the bucket and hold them in place while you surround them with rocks
4. Place the bucket with the pinwheels near where the pigeons land most often
I did end up using all three of the metal buckets and I put one at each of the two spillways between the pool and the hot tub and one at the corner of the hot tub where it meets the pool.
The reviews of the buckets mentioned above said they were difficult to separate but I had no trouble at all - once I realized they were wrapped in a very thin, yet sturdy, plastic. I removed the plastic and had no issue separating the buckets. They're pretty and well made.

The pinwheels are GORGEOUS. They're a great size and the colors are rich and vibrant. They spin easily, the wands are sturdy, and the pinwheels catch the sun beautifully.
I'd love to do a whole row of these along the one edge of the pool just to have a field of these spinning color wheels to keep me entertained all day while I work.
If you're sick of cleaning up pigeon mess from your patio I encourage you to give this a try!

What things are important in selecting a cue?

When selecting a cue at a pool hall or bar, the basic things you should check include:

  1. Make sure the tip and ferrule are firmly attached to the end of the cue, with no cracks in the ferrule or cue wood.
  2. Make sure the tip is not hardened and glazed-over on the surface. If it is, it won’t hold chalk and the tip won’t grip the cue ball very well (especially with off-center hits, intentional or not), which could result in miscues.
  3. Make sure the cue is straight. You can check this by rolling the cue on the table, making sure it doesn’t wobble too much.
  4. Choose a cue weight that feels the most comfortable.

It is best to have your own personal cue that will provide you with consistency. When selecting a cue to purchase, try to find a cue that has:

  1. a natural pivot length well matched to your preferred bridge length (especially with a break cue). If you prefer a longer bridge, an LD shaft could offer some advantages.
  2. a stiffness and tip hardness resulting in preferred “feel” and “hit.”
  3. an optimal weight for you (especially with a break cue).
  4. a length that is appropriate for your height (especially if you are really tall or “vertically challenged”).

Otherwise, just pick something in your price range that looks and feels good to you. The following video covers many of the important things to consider:

The most important advice concerning choices for both playing cue weight and tip hardness is to pick something and stick with it so you can develop a complete and consistent feel for shot speed control (and CB deflection).

The choice of cue is not as important as some people think, as long as you spend time to get accustomed to it. Don’t keep changing equipment, thinking a new or different cue will make you a better player. That is not the case. A good player can play well with any decent cue with a decent tip, assuming the player is familiar with the cue.

from RSB FAQ:

In general, it is difficult to tell if you would like a cue stick just by reading about it. Even the terms that different people use to describe these characteristics (hard, soft, harsh, stiff, forgiving, well-balanced, etc.) are subjective and difficult to quantify. Some of the important things can be quantified (length, weight, balance point, shaft taper, shaft diameter, squirt), but they’re not the whole story. And if you are a beginner, or seriously working on your game for the first time, you can expect your own preferences to change as your game matures.

Shun a cue that’s more than two parts, has a screw-on tip, is painted in festive colors, or is made in Taiwan. Made in Japan is OK, the Adam line, made there, is one of the best. Get the best tips you can, the return on the money you spend is greater there than anywhere else.

The plainest butt is probably also the most solid. If you want fancy inlay work, consider Baroque antiques, not cues, unless you are collecting rather than playing with them. Beyond being solid and the right weight and length, and perhaps having the style of grip you prefer, there is little the butt does for the cue.

The tip is important. Many tips are no good. Tips can be replaced; learn how to do it yourself. The tip has more effect on how the cue plays than the butt.

The shaft is the most important part of the cue. Shafts are relatively cheap. Some highly regarded cue makers make unusable shafts.

Here’s a quick test to see if the cue is worth looking at further. It tests the amount of “squirt” or deflection on extreme english shots. Many expensive sticks fail this test. This idea can also be used to compensate for squirt for some sticks, and when it is used for that it is sometimes called “backhand english” since the back (grip) hand is moved over to get side spin.

For each cue stick, there is a particular length of bridge for which you can aim straight at a close object ball and then pivot about your bridge hand and shoot straight through the new line and hit the object ball full. (You can also use this (very old) method for non-full shots too, but a full shot is best for finding the right bridge length.) For a stick you want to measure, just find the needed bridge length. A hint: if you shoot softly at a ball far away, the cue ball will curve on its way to the object ball, and your measurement will be useless. Do not give the cue ball the time or distance to curve. Shoot firmly. Use as much side spin as you can without miscuing. The shorter the bridge, the more squirt the stick has. (“Close object ball” means about a diamond away.) The cue ball should sit in place spinning like a top when it hits the object ball full.

If several cues are available, including house cues, compare them. Squirt is the most important characteristic of a cue stick after solid construction. Less squirt is usually better, especially if you use something close to “parallel aiming” on spin shots. More squirt means more aiming compensation on any shot with side spin. The one possible advantage of squirt is that if the pivot length is the same length as the bridge, it can compensate for inaccuracies left-to-right in the final stroke.
