    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.

    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...

    International Open 2025

    Looks like they're having trouble filling the Bigfoot, now I'm debating whether I go watch. I mean, a Buc-ee's nearby is enticing but those Bigfoot matches could be whitewashes.

    New Room in San Francisco's Mission district called 'The Hall'

    Had to figure table rates were high, maybe I was scared to bother looking.

    New Room in San Francisco's Mission district called 'The Hall'

    The food prices are lower than I'd expect in such a pricey area. I didn't expect any decent import beer under $10 in the city. $7 Sapporo is about the same as I see in Florida.

    CNN’s story on fedor and how a Russian became a star of team USA

    It is genuinely funny to watch the Olympics opening ceremony and see how diverse the US team is while the media drones on incessantly about racism. The only team close to as diverse is probably the United Kingdom.

    Cory Barnhart, Ed Prewitt, Rick Howard

    Good story there. I still have my Mace I bought from him around 20 years ago. He was a good guy to deal with but I've never met him in person. Have a sneaky of his too which I never plan to sell.

    Les Blevins Cue

    Interesting, I wasn't aware. Looks like you got a solid cue out of it.

    Les Blevins Cue

    I didn't know airports sold unclaimed baggage. Do you know how long it was there? Someone flying with a cue of that vintage/quality would probably want it back.
