I've been a bit busy catching up on life since my trip to Vegas, but better late than never I suppose. I would like to recount a few of my experiences and thank all the people involved with making my trip unforgettable. It all started Sunday with an exclusive cocktail party for the players and...

This is me, and I just want to say thank you to AZBilliards.com and Matchroom Sport for providing me the experience of a lifetime to attend both the Mosconi Cup and the BCA Hall of Fame Banquet. I am extremely excited to participate, meet the players, and lead the cheering section for Team USA...

I was reflecting on my tournament history and as far as I can remember the only tournaments I've won were from the winner's side. I lose a great deal of confidence after putting up a long fight and getting knocked down, even if I shot well. As optimistic as I can possibly be about fighting back...

SPOILER ALERT: In the Turning Stone hot seat match between SVB and Archer, SVB breaks dry in the hill-hill rack and leaves a full look at the 1, only 4.5' away (half the table length). Archer studies it for a good 3-4 minutes then chooses to push... into a longer look at the 1 with a different...

So this shot came up in my APA 9 ball match last night. Couldn't figure out how to embed the table diagram so I just attached a link below. http://pool.bz/P/?@1AWJs4BRtA3DKBE4EVSD4FRDb4GREX1HQeD4IATt4PDKB@ I broke, made a ball and parked the cue ball to the center of the table. The 1 ball is...

Hey guys, so after taking some of the advice on here, I bought some medium talisman tips, and I have mixed feelings about them. I gave it 2 weeks of consistent play, and here is what I found: When hitting firm shots, the feel is great. I get inconsistent spin from lightly stroked spin shots...

I just read this article about the Moscow Chess Championships, and I was astounded by the payouts: $1.5 million to the winner, $1 million to the runner up! With chess catering to a much smaller audience and being much more boring to watch IMO, how can they afford to pay this much to the winner...

I noticed this video a couple of weeks ago while looking for new matches to watch online. While it's a very interesting and exciting TAR match in its own right, what makes this video especially interesting is the editing. No PSRs, no waiting for the balls to roll, and no puzzled walks around the...

I've noticed that when I'm not shooting my best and my confidence is low, shooting shots with my break cue that has a phenolic tip is much easier. I obviously don't get as much action from the cue and have to chalk it between every single shot, but it's good enough for government work as they...

I'm sure everyone here would agree that you play better when you feel more comfortable, and there are a lot of things that factor into that feeling. I wanted to open this thread as an open discussion about food (or drink) that is particularly good at making you feel comfortable for a match. For...

I have a problem. I consider myself to be an excellent player. At my best, I can run with the pros. I have won multiple tournaments, broke-and-run consecutive 9 ball racks on 9 ft diamond tables, am top ranked in all of the leagues I play in, won hundreds of dollars gambling, but I have an...
