    2026 WNT Ranking event- Chinese Taipei Open, 8-11 Jan2026, Winner $30K

    Watching FSR vs Naulanan and it looks like FSR is sporting black Nike flip flops as footwear. Just pair some white socks with them and fit right in at this year's Florida Open!

    Mizerak Cues

    One of those guys who you just have a mental image of playing with a classic 4 point steel joint maple front cue. Straight pool background, East Coast native.

    Shaft suggestions

    Hmmm....well my WX Alpha shaft fits nicely on several radial butts which are the real deal. I do know radial shafts will not fit on Mezz's wavy thread.

    Shaft suggestions

    If you can tolerate high stiffness, the Mezz alpha shafts are about as stiff as it gets. I think they are stock at 12.8mm. They are not the lowest deflection shafts in the Mezz line. Their Wavy thread should fit most Radial pinned butts.

    chat GPT ranks difficulty level of various cue sports

    That's a good summary. And what exactly is American pool? 9 ball only? Are one pocket and 14.1 factoring in? I wouldn't think so but stirring thought on those rankings.

    First-Rate transaction with Jack Boy

    I hope this is all legit but the gushing nature seems a little much. Is this your first cue deal here after 15 years? "Jackboy: He PP me the money"

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    Gulyassy had a cue with this wood on display at the Super Billiard Expo one year and was asking something like $7k for it. I just had to shake my head. He did a tip for me and charged $20 for a tip pad. I do hope you're happy with the cue and have good dealings with him.

    Buddy Hall vs Steve Mizerak, who had the nicer stroke?

    I recall reading somewhere Miz fared well (relatively speaking) in his snooker pursuits, so that's testament to his stroke quality, especially as he mostly used a closed bridge, in pool at least.

    Sold Mike Capone Cocobolo

    We'll all happily be called wrong if this turns out a legit sale. And yes, we're aware of the scam where it's "sold" to another "new member" who gushingly vouches for the seller.

    Mosconi Cup Stats -- Career Records for Players on 2025 Teams

    Stating the obvious, for the US to stand a chance, Gorst and Shane need to make those singles records way better.

    Buyer Pays Insurance for Shipment?

    Exactly, I was aware it was less than the 4%. I've seen some sellers asking for 4.5% for PayPal sales. They won't get my business.

    Buyer Pays Insurance for Shipment?

    Along the lines of the sellers who ask 4+% for PayPal fees. Is the fee really that much?

    Encyclopedia of American Pool Players - Work in Progress

    You might consider Pat Fleming for the off the table category, given his contribution from Accu-stats and other tournaments.

    International Open 2025

    I went to watch on Sunday afternoon and night, paid around $200 for the hotel room plus $25 general admission ticket. I enjoyed the event but do think attendance was down from 2024. I'm happy to support it, but wonder being a week prior to Thanksgiving can be tough to travel and use vacation...

    Just started watching the 10 ball on ultimate pool.

    I generally agree but will add that some rooms can be oversatuated with leagues which take away table availability. My local room runs leagues 5-6 days a week and some days tables are all used up during prime hours, even weekend afternoons. It's a business after all, so I can't fault the...
