I haven't checked but museums, libraries, and archives are increasingly putting their collections online.

The Cue Bar, a little north and west of there looks like a nice place also.

Yes, nice tables and they have decent specials if I remember correctly.

I recently replaced both my BK Rush and Air Rush with a Sniper 3 J/B. It breaks great and I can jump full cue with it most scenarios, which has increased my make percentage. It's a beast!

Had not heard of the jump & break cue Sniper3. Usually the combos are poorer than the dedicated jump cue. Here's a blurb on it from the web. Not cheap --- $500

By far most of what the Smithsonian has is not on display and never will be. The museum of natural history has 47 million specimens.

I was just talking about him the other day and how great of a guy he is. One of those people who everyone loves and you never hear a bad peep about him.

I think this is The best site for learning 3-cushion after you get past total beginner level. There is different teachers like Dani or Semih but i think best videos are Cha teaching Korean women players. He does not teach systems. He teach them understand. They speak Korean but there is A.I dub for English.
I still prefer turn on original audio from setting and then turn on automatic translation to english.

Two of the Quarterfinal matches are being played now. Ko Pin Yi trails Chu Bingjie and Wu Jiaqing leads Xue Zhenqi. Losers receive about $22,000 US, winners go on to $44,000 for 4th or a lot more after that.

skogstokig -- if you go to this video and open up the text below the stream (where it says "more"), you can find some of the rules. The text also shows the time limit, which is 210 minutes for the current matches (started 3+ hours ago). Refs keep track of the time.

Mike Cochran.....MAK Custom Cue

Well, here is something what you don't see very often especially not the one with the logo hand written in the forearm.
But you won't see any Mike Cochran cue in general.
Mike was without doubt one of the best cue makers who ever lived.

For those who don't know who was Mike Cochran, In the article below you can read about him.

THE GUY BEHIND THE GUY

Mike Cochran The Guy behind the Guy - Issuu

Any time someone would suggest Mike Cochran slow down or take some time for himself, whether it was his wife, or kids or friends, he uttered the same phrase.

Better photos of the cue soon.

Joe Callaluca

Ebony on Ebony
Radial pin
5 Veneers
Design with Spear Diamonds and Dots

Well, just received this cue and i can't tell how satisfied i am. My friend Joe knocked it out of the park. He did amazing job as always and not only that the cue meets all my expectations but much more than that. I have a few favorite cue makers who are not only cue makers to me but life time friends and Joe is one of them. I met him like 10 years ago when he built me a beautiful and amazing sneaky pete and since then i haven't stopped ordering cues from him. In this period we have become friends and i am proud and honored to be his friend. I am proud to have quite few of his cues in my collection as well. All them are fantastic players and workmanship is always top notch.
I am quite sentimental when it comes to cues and pool in general and Joe isn't helping at all.
With the cue i have received this gorgeous chalk or key holder with beautiful and touching personal note.

Thank you Joe Callaluca. All this means a lot to me! Thank you for everything.
I have always enjoyed working with you on all projects we did and you are not just hell of a cue maker but a great, great guy and a friend for lifetime.
If you ever stopped building cues hope you will be bored as hell in your retirement so you will need to keep starting building them again.

Wu’s opponent has a crazy chicken wing. Amazing he can make balls on these tables.
