What's your favorite pool memory from 2025?

To you Trob, that’s the interesting thing in life, it’s all about perspective. You think gambling is dumb, you’re entitled to your opinions.

I have an opinions too. I look at people who buy multiple cues, $400+ CF shafts, $20+ chalks, gloves, cases, garish plastic shirts to play in a league on bar boxes and call themselves “pool players”, and I think that’s dumb. I mean, I never heard of those playing miniature golf calling themselves golfers. Or those that go to go cart tracks calling themselves nascar or formula one drivers. Why? Because they’re not. You see it’s all about perspective.

And to you Tennessee Joe, you’re entitled to your opinion as well. What I’ve written above here regarding bar box players thinking they’re pool players, this is what’s wrong with pool. It’s why Americans are the laughingstock of the professional pool world, a nation that once turned out the finest players in the game and now are an afterthought, because of their affinity for bar boxes over pool tables. I know this isn’t a popular opinion here at AZB, the lair of the “league players”, yet it doesn’t make it any less true. Have a great day gentlemen.

Perspectives, yep.... Opinions of course, and we had to fight Indians before they Opened Bensingers in Chicago. :)
We're an extremely New Country, didn't take us long to put Mosconi on the Brunswick payroll did it :).
Our combined social structure of Great Players/Knoxville Bear/Lassiter etc... and of course the Europeans trying to infiltrate was life.
60's ....The Gold Crowns were made, then the industry/life changed.
TV put pool tables in Bad movie scenes.
Fats was put to rest.
Liquor infested pool rooms.
7's were BORNE.

How Often Can You Run This?

On pro spec equipment, I think that anyone that can run these out in numerical order more than 70% of the time is probably Fargo 700+.

No access to pro spec but I can run that as pictured probably 80% on my ProAm with standard pockets. (provided I'm hitting balls a couple times per week)
If you put the balls against the rails where they belong it's more like 60% I imagine.
Those shots are all in the 60 minute workout and the 6-pointed star drills.
Anyone who took lessons from Bert has been clubbed over the head with these shots for years lol.
I am currently switching back to maple shafts so I need to relearn the deflection to be consistent.

Doesn't have to be. If I ship one of my racks out west it's $30+. If I use Pirateship it's $8. Retailers charging high shipping like this are taking that extra $ and lying about the actual price. It's like the guys who used to sell items on ebay for $2 and charged $30 shipping on all orders.
