Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

Some call it self hypnosis
Some call it in a trance.
Some call it In The Zone.

Pressure can provide a jangling phone ring type of twitch. Just enough.
Well I know from experience and have Dan Louie confession of feeling the nerves.
So answer the phone when the feeling arrives.
Step back to survey stance. Place the chalk on the tip and let self to self sort it. Easy. 🤷‍♂️
Savoring the moment at impact with attention to the exit wound on the imaginary unmovable cueball.

U.S. OPEN 2026, Frisco, Texas, August 25-30

For those I couldn’t witness it, Billy Thorpe showed a game much higher level than I’ve ever seen him in the past. his patterns and ball striking just was better than previous. He looked like he belonged in the elite rather than just surviving and being a good American player. Plus, he still electrified the crowd with some of his spectacular fireball banks when it was the right shot to shoot.

Unfortunately, against Capito…although he did show some of what I was talking about above, it was getting late, it was a grind, and he did end up reverting back to some of what we unfortunately see from Billy‘s game at times . A little loose here, a little too quick there. But hopefully his game is going in the right direction because it really was some of the best pool I’ve seen out of him, and he deserved to have made it into the final eight had he got through Capito.

billy said in interview that he felt more loose and free not being a full-time pro anymore, or something to that effect. he just started a excavation and demolition company with his cousin, and will presumably focus on that more than pool.

Possible Abe Rich Merry Widow — Looking for Confirmation

I saw this yesterday and finally got a minute to get back here to post.

These old generic looking cues are a dime a dozen and are often nearly impossible to ID. This one I can ID.

It's not Rich, Abe or otherwise.

98.396% for sure it was made by Viking for Murrey as found in the 1988 Murrey cue line as advertised in the Dec 1988 issue of Billiards Digest.

Circa 1988 Murrey M-40 cue.

These cues were made by Viking. Where Viking had a window, they merely replaced it with a black ring. Most, if not all, of the cues in the line have corresponding Viking models. I collect these.
