Fedor’s “new” chalk…

It’s amazing how chalk has taken off. Yes, chalk every time and they are all basically the same.

The real point of the new chalks is that they are cleaner. Primary benefit being fewer skids/kicks. Secondary benefits are cleaner cloth, hands and cues.

Every thing else is marketing BS, IMO. But I use it for the cleanliness.

Jumping with your playing cue

I always pushed out to a jump shot back in the early 90s, got it back and drilled it in.
Practice jumping over the edge or over a cue laying on the table, then more and more of the OB and before you know it you'll be jumping a full ball.

What's funny is i can hear "Earl" (Joe Rogan) talking about jumping with a Meucci and that's what I played with back then lol

Pool tournaments history 1990s

Only the top few on the money list back in the early 1990s made $50,000 for the year. As for the Sands, it used to have gigantic fields, sometimes more than 256, so the prize money wasn't very strong in view of the field size. The Sands was probably the second biggest event (or third behind the BCA Open) of the year, behind only the US Open 9ball. There wasn't much money in tournament pool until the PBT took off circa 1996. That's why so many more of the action players steered clear of the major tournament scene back then.
