Can anyone tell me if Ko Pin Yi is coming to Derby in 2024?

Just saw this, as I'm not a frequent visitor to AZB anymore, life gets in the way. I run the non-handicapped league that Dennis Walsh started in 2012. We play at Red Shoes Billiards in a Chicago suburb, a great room with equipment that is kept in top shape. The league has been very popular...

Thanks so much Glen! Do these look like they will do the job? https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Furniture-Sliders-Carpeted-Surfaces/dp/B001W6Q4VA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1534440241&sr=8-3&keywords=super+sliders&dpID=41KU3HdI3SL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch The bottom is a hard plastic so your...

I have a 9 foot Gold Crown III in my downstairs rec room. As part of a home renovation project we will be putting a new floor down. The room currently has a wall-to-wall indoor-outdoor carpet that will be taken up. I need to move the pool table to lay the new flooring. The rec room is large...

I just tried the McDermott wax, which is a combination of beeswax and olive oil, on a shaft that already had a very smooth feel due to having been sanded a bit with Cue Wiz and then burnished. The wax created some drag that wasn't there before and I immediately removed it with some water and...

The Red Shoes leagues avoid forfeits to the maximum extent possible. Usually we have none. I'll explain. These are round robin leagues where everybody plays everybody else once. Toward the end of the session I pick out who the possible money winners are (the top 25% of the field) and I urge...

Red Shoes has just recently put new cloth and cushions on their 9 foot Gold Crowns. They play great.

2017 DCC Final Summary Here is a summary of the 14.1 Challenge

I regret being late with my comment, just been busy. I attended Nick's 14.1 seminar and found it very helpful. Afterwards I said to Dennis Walsh that if Nick does three seminars next year at Red Shoes like he did this year (one pocket, fundamentals and 14.1), I will fly up from Florida to...

But I bet you use Master. Right?

If I recall correctly, Strickland had a skid that ended his last turn at the table. I was looking away but heard the commentators talk about it. I'm surprised he didn't raise the roof over his opponent's chalk. Or maybe Kamui sponsors him? Doubtful, but I guess pool pros are divided into two...

Mika was using chalk from his vest pocket and not chalking after every shot. If he is sponsored by Kamui, might he have been using Kamui chalk? Might that chalk have been the problem? Just asking, have never used it myself. Edit - Dave, our posts crossed! You and I are thinking along the...

I'm referring to the Worlds Tournament. In the final game yesterday they were cleaning the cue ball all the time - after every rack and sometimes during the rack - and still there were skids. If the commentators solved this mystery I didn't hear it, so I ask the group: * did the chalk that...

How many players are a "full field"? What percentage of the field do you usually pay?
