Matchroom just confirmed it.

After hearing Mr 714 Jayson Shaw broke the record as a lark trying for just a few days. It made me realize. Nobody plays straight pool. So it's more like a gimmick.

I believe Danny. Congrats Jayson Shaw! Beat the record in one week. Wowzers!

I'm 66 and played on some real horrible tables back in Socal growing up in the 60s 70s 80s 90s. Slow cloth, buckets for pockets poor sports etc. The equipment and players are better now. Fargo Rating has spawned crazy uptick in tournaments & business here in PDX. I practice on a 9ft Diamond when...

I disagree. I was in Vegas. I think it was BCAPL at the Riviera. I was passing Dr Cue doing his show. He said does anyone have a question. I stopped shot my hand up. He said yes? I asked ,does a soft or hard tip impart more spin? This was his answer. A hard tip puts more spin on a cue ball...

Rebcos have real shallow shelf I think? Thin rails. 5 inch pockets are old timey. Some people enjoy that sort of stuff. We have some here in Orygun at a rural pool parlor.

I came to AZB tonight because I wondered sho runs Derby. Hardly any video online. Like its a secret or something? Poool needs life and exposure. Funny I learnthrough this thread Derby still doesnt allow Jump cues. They also dont allow anyone to watch what happened there. Lol Missed opportunities...

Im 63 and feeling young here. Do you guys play regional tournaments? Have you not noticed jump cues and magic racks are almost in every tournament now? Even Derby City which i think was the last hold out used them.We arent going backwards. FargoRate system and all the new stuff is great.

Yeah lets be olde timey and stuff. Hey i once fashioned a cue by burning away the non cue material by camp fire. Slapped a whale bubber tip on it and called it good! Who wants a tight rack anyway? When you could have fights and arguing and cheating from guys who cant run out ever.Lets bring...

I went to Vegas last year to watch the mosconi cup why live. Justin Bergman was a pivotal part of the team. I noticed he isn't even in the top 10 on the potential mosconi Cup team list. Bummer!

Really? I might remind you of 2013 sir. We lost 11 to 2 and i wont even go into all the embarassing antics! Definitely going in the right direction now!

Yeah Uhh Huuhh cuz theres so much going on promoting pool to the masses. Oh thats right, there isnt. But hey if the show went away you could go back to ummm playing straight pool. Awesome!:thumbup:

Congrats R2R ! I understand he will be competing in the Chinook Winds OPen The 6th Thru the 8th. You guys put on a great stream at the Freeze!

Hey JC see you at chinook winds i hope? Paul wrote a great 3 part article on the Break! I Played him once on the old Pechauer tour and he beat me to death with his damned perfect break. Thanks for sharing JC.
