No Appleton? He has as many world championships as the bottom half of that list combined! Other than that pretty good list.

I might see one of them next weekend, if I can make the tournament. Glad someone else remebers, although I never got to see Chenier play I've heard a bunch of stories. Enjoy that open bridge :thumbup:

Not since George Chenier or Paul Thornley.

I'll see you there Friday night Young William! I still owe you a drink from last time and I would love to sit and talk if we have some time on this trip maybe sweat some action. Cheers.

So let me ask this question, if Irving Crane was playing Willie Mosconi and Crane called the two and shot the ten at the world championship what do you think would have happened? Firstly, I believe the ref would have called loss of turn on Crane for calling the improper ball and if he didn’t...

On the last day in Vegas for the VNEA a couple years ago, I sat through a great conversation between Bob Meucci and Jerry Briesath about tips and cues. Gained a lot of useful info from respected sources and didn't open my mouth, just thanked them when they were done. Experience does count for...

Welcome bear0478 to our humble little community! There is not many of us on AZ, so please don't mind the crickets. Some of the guys get together on Thursday nights at Brews&Cues, there will be action, possibly a small tournament and fun games as well. Also join the "windsor pool players" page...

We as humans are inherently lazy, looking for the fastest easiest and quickest ways to accomplish what we want. In this case playing our best game of pool. We are also very visual creatures, with our vision centres being closely tied to our motor skills or hand eye coordination. Now our...

Info and the end! Hi Everyone, I appreciate everyone who offered an opinion on this subject and I would like to provide some additional information on this topic. I didn’t provide this information in the beginning in an attempt to garner unbiased opinions to see if I was wrong. 1) I was a VNEA...

Just wondering if you would consider this cheating or an honest mistake? Our local VNEA league coordinator and tournament director ran a series of 32 qualifiers 8ball, race to 2, D/E where the top two finishers got a spot in a big finals tournament. The finials was 64 players with almost $6000...

There are CARS in the video:D? Lol if my home room looked like that I might not go on the road! :thumbup:

Been many songs throughout the years but this is the most recent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3NJZyJWwkY Cheers Bern

Just wanted to say what a great tournament this was! It was run incredibly efficient with scheduled match times and was really a joy to participate in. I would like to thank Mac and Young William for both their help and hospitality and I look forward to attending more of these events! I drove...

I am trying to register myself (Bernie) and my friend Kevin for the tournament but we are having trouble with the money order and mailing it from Canada. I have tried to call Mac a couple times with the # provided and haven't managed to reach him due to conflicting schedules. I was wondering if...

fjk mention possibly challenging more than one spot up, what if it cost an additional $5 or $10 for every spot you challenged up with a limit of 5 spots ahead. In $5 increments for example: 1 spot $20 2 spot $25 3 spot $30 4 spot $35 5 spot $40 I think the original idea is great but I think...

Someone who is an AZ member would be fantastic! I do find it funny that the thread trashing Mike got a couple hundred replies and a positive thread like this, less than 20! Lol

That's exactly along the idea I was thinking of but Bartram and Chohan have stakehorses available should they want them as they are already well known pros. Being from the Detroit area I was thinking of players like John Binion or Brandon Ashcraft maybe Alex Olinger from ohio. Or even players a...

I lurk here often but don’t post much but after following the Mike Wong thread I had an idea come to me. By my calculations it would be about $10,000 to play the 5 big tournaments in the U.S. every year. Obviously some would be more than others but $2,000 per tournament for the Derby, 2 Turning...

A big thanks to Chuck Fields for posting that video. It's always enjoyable to see one of the greats in action. I think I am going to work on emulating Mr. Cranes break as I like it better. It doesn't have all the body movement and mechanical components of Shane and Mike's breaks and I feel it...
