Update: Sounds like they are now announcing the matches. Is there an update on the start time on this? I saw the Ustream went live for a few minutes about an hour ago, but is now offline... Oh, just came back, but looks like they are still setting up. I just needs me some pool :) Thanks!

I have to ask, did anyone at MIT try to teach you how to hit the Enter key once in a while to break into paragraphs? ;)

I gave up using talc and just play bareback with no additives. At this point, I don't even know why I ever started using talc. It feels slightly better to use talc for about the first rack, but then it gets a bit messy. The rooms I play in tend to get hot, and I tend to get hot when I play, so...

deleted text because AZ refuses to let me delete the post.

Is there something specific you care to call-out on the site that's not accurate? An honest question. We should always maintain a critical eye and ear when taking in information, no matter who it comes from. What I do like about Dr. Dave and his associates are they apply the scientific method...

Tom, thank you for providing the table of contents; it's much appreciated. Add another bead to the wire. Just sent my payment, and I'm looking forward to reading and using the book. Best wishes.

I've been playing for a short time, like on and off for 2 years now. I've looked at books, videos, and played people in a one-pocket league. I would say the best way to learn at this point is to hold off on the books and DVDs and find some one pocket players and play the game. I'm not...

Not sure you can thread with this lathe, maybe I'm missing it but I don't see a threading index dial. No threading even makes it more over-priced, if that's the case.

Congratulations on your new/old room. I split my time between the Sacramento and San Jose areas... And I have not had the chance to check out the rooms up near Sac/RC yet. I'll definitely come by and enjoy your room.

I really like this match between Daryl Peach and Francisco Bustamante: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXB1P0l-tyY This match is a serious roller-coaster ride and it's the whole match that stands out to me. While I won't spoil the crazy match ending, Bustamante really shows some absolutely...

Not certain if the ferrule would come loose because the pad is missing, but that's where you are regardless. So, you can send it to OB for repair, check their Web site for info. Alternatives wold be... A) If the ferrule is not longer fitting or is damaged, find a local cue repair guy; it's...

It's not ethical nor should you have to "lie" about what happened. I'd send it to Predator to see if they will address it, and before doing so, I'd let the person who borrowed my cue that if it's not covered under warranty that they will be gifting me a new shaft. If they won't do that then you...

It's true that many of these cases are generic and made in the same shop, I have to say the Predator case is not a generic dime-a-dozen case with the Predator name slapped on it. It's pretty well built, and it only takes about 30 seconds looking at one to see the difference. To the OP. I'm not...

Glad that it's back up :) Just for future reference... Many Web sites are archived at www.archive.org, including the Beard's site. Archive isn't the best option because it only takes snapshots of the core Web site depending on significant changes to the site, and they do not store any...

My "medium" Everest could cut a diamond. ... And I forgot to add, my Moori "medium" could split my Everest in two.
