    Team USA and the future of the Mosconi

    My gut reaction is, "demand." A great place near me has five beautiful 9' Diamonds, and ten or eleven 7' Diamonds. $6/hr table time; $3 draft pints. On any number of occasions, I've seen all of the barboxes in use, and none of the big tables.

    Chalk gate at the open !!!!

    Sorry, Flake, but for many of us who are not ambidextrous, this is often the case. I can switch hands to weld, but not for much else. If I try an off-hand pool shot, it had better be hanging in a pocket and less than two diamonds away.

    Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

    Man, what I wouldn't give to have teenage eyes again...

    Because the signatories are ridiculous people who did this entirely for show? Bureaucrats love a parade they didn't march in. They need something shiny to staple to their newsletters so they can pretend they have a pulse on culture, so they rubber-stamp a plaque for a guy who was actually...

    Starting Local Pool Leagues

    Yeah, pretty much this. I live here in a tiny city in flyover country, but even here one can play league pool 5-6 nights a week if you want. Spread out among at least four different leagues. I'm not sure there's much appetite for starting new ones.

    Well, maybe because Earl's "fundamentals" require ass weights, finger sleeves, and everything short of a beekeeper suit?

    Bergman - now a carbon shaft - not usual kielwood?

    I wondered, too, but watching the Table 4 stream on wnt.tv, I couldn't tell if it was a different shaft than his usual kielwood, or just the shit lighting.

    Wow. Mickey's game chose today to go on vacation, and Justin was absolutely merciless. Well done Bergman!

    Always has been. Just getting more noticeable as he gets older & less relevant.
