    2026 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    51 Ball run on my recovered and more importantly, repainted table. Looks so much better now.

    Unsportsmanlike Conduct Rule

    So, back in 2000, you can see this in this video. It happened. Efren did, what Johnny thought Wiktor did. 56 minutes. Efren -15 and Dallas elected to have Efren break again. I saw another video from 2021 or 2022, where Darren was not allowed to continue shooting when Corey got an...

    Zielinski completes eight-match, undefeated run to claim 2026 Diamond Open at SBE

    Anybody met Zielenski? I did. Not a fan. Not sociable at all. I saw him and talked briefly at the International Straight Pool tournament in 2024. I also talked to other fans about him, since he gave me the cold shoulder and they said the same thing. I don't ask for autographs and hardly...

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    Great analysis. Happy to see so many examples. I don't know why so many people are saying that Yapp knew it was a foul. He has the look of I know that was close so waiting to hear. He probably thought it was a foul but not for him to decide. Hard to see everything. I played a delicate kick...

    Gold Crown paint codes - all 4 colors

    So, is there a paint code for the Gold Crown V11 White Table? I want to paint my Gold Crown I, but I am not sure I want the old paint codes. I want to paint it white, like this pic. Any advice on how to do that? Is this the original paint code for Gold Crown's do you think?

    Hope this spurs more interest. Is the International Straight Pool going to happen this year?

    Jayson Shaw World Record video

    I am not sure what happened but I personally asked Kristina Tkach a few years ago about if she was going to make attempts and she said she was. Still hoping

    2026 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    84 Ball Run. I do recommend using a weight for the shaft with rail shots. I think I made two of those because of the weight. I messed up at the end. I did not want to use that ball as a key ball, but didn't see how to avoid it, and then of course I hit it way to tentative. I should have...

    2026 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Nothing special here, but best run of 2026 so far. 48. I was in a lot of trouble. It wasn't very clean and not how you should play. I did adapt pretty well.

    Do you want to learn more about your stroke?

    Here is my analysis. I am definitely impressed by how much detail he gives. He confirmed what I already knew being my biggest problem, which is my stroking arm is not straight. Honestly, how far my shaft goes to the left after contact, it is amazing I can make a ball. Laugh. I have tried...

    Rail break shots

    Yes, just looks like a lot of angle. Not easy. Filler considered that as well. I have watched Filler quite a bit and also based on his comment, I believe he would hit pretty firm. I tried recreating this and had good fortune hit that way the 3 times I tried hit pretty firm

    Rail break shots

    Ok, fine, in case anyone wants to actually look at the shot. It is at the 1:34 point. 1 hour 34 minutes. The American turned into the International. Anyway, here you go. This is the actual situation. How do you play this? See screenshot.
