Tinnitus has run me out of our local pool room that I've frequented for years. Speakers every 15 feet or so that have bass sounds that you hear driving up to the building. It's on the second floor of a older brick building. When I have to play league there earplugs are a must. They enjoy the...

Until some positive post About this stream comes up no more for me. I watched Mika break-freeze, comes back on he is racking. He breaks and freeze .This happened 3 times in a row. Have no idea what he did looked like a 3 pack but I'll never know.

Stream up and running So far. That was Nick Ekonomopoulos that was warming up earlier.

Me too! I watched A Ouschan warm up for a couple minutes, then nothing:(

If you are in KC area We have an older gentleman that has shared some amazing stories of how pool was back in the late 50's thru to 80's. He started in NY and moved to Cali. He is in his 70's with a pretty good memory. Might help connect the dots on road players from back in the day. Saving up...

Will this be Sky's ticket to terrorize the globe? Hope so.

Nice thought about a simple compliment. My girlfriend has the patients of a saint and spends a couple hours every week on a junior league. Your point is dead on about a compliment being a boost to a young players confidence. But she gets them to another level by insisting on sportsmanship and...

Your comments are true with me. The last couple years I have taken the time to make notes on my performance while at a regional tourny. When I go back and review them that 2nd world feeling creeps back. Yep it's like two separate worlds for me also.

CSI & RunoutMedia this is awesome You guys brought the best together that created some memorable moments around this event and captured it so we could get a glimpse is just outstanding. Had to remind myself to breathe watching this condensed action packed video.

Shooters in Olathe has bleachers Neat to see them fill up during semi-finals & finals of their larger tournaments. While skimming over this thread I started too day dream a little. We have some good people advocating pool like Mark Wilson, Don Akerlow, The Black Widow and many more. It's a...
