Dunnn....Mark told me that he is arranging for all 8 players to travel to Blackpool for the event. He feels that they all deserve to share in the experience. Mark is one of a kind. Focused, determined, and fully committed to his task as Captain. As far as the East Coast tour goes, he has a...

I am fortunate in the fact that I get to talk with Mark a few times every month and he is workjng harder than you can imagine on this year's team selection and their travel/tour plans leading up to the Cup. He desperately wants an East Coast visit for exhibitions, MC style matches with the local...

Really appreciate all the input. I hear valid points from everyone. Jeez....my head is spinnin'.....!!! I wanna make the right choice for me. I wil let everyone know what I decide. And.....just to let you guys know, if I choose the 9fter I have a chance to purchase the table Earl practiced on in...

Seems like we have lots of folks on both sides of the fence. I will be fortunate enough to have room for the big table. I was hoping that the larger playing area would help with refining my stroke. Who knows...I may put in a 10 fter, 9 fter AND a bar box!!

Thanks for the input. A 9 ftr is probably the way to go.

If you had room at your home for a 5x10 would you buy one? I have a detached garage that I am enlarging to 40x22, so I will have the room for a large table. I have played on just one of the monsters and it was a whole new world for me. It had 4 1/2 inch pockets and 760 cloth. The balls looked...

Best wishes Ziggy. Swift recovery...

Pidge....just wanted to say thank you for a bit of info you mentioned yesterday. Sunday is my marathon practice day and I am paying particular attention to the "web" between my thumb and index finger. Evidently I have not had the cue snuggly in there. Wow. What a difference it seems to make in...

Naji....I have an OB 2 that I play with quite a bit. I am practicing nearly every day. Only been playing about 2 years. There is SO much for me to learn, and being a bit of a perfectionist doesnt help! I am very demanding of myself and i try not to get too frustrated with slow progress. Pool is...

Thanks for all the info guys. I spent about an hour finding the PP on my various cues. If I have studied correctly and performed the experiment correctly, all three if my cues have very different PP's. The OB2 is 13" from the tip. The Lucassi Hybrid is 11 1/2 inches and my break cue is only 9"...

Thanks pidge. I am gonna put in some time today on this!!

Jay....I am the "borrower" of the book from KK9, (Wendy will get it back today when Matt and I meet to play) and it was great! Loved all the history. It is written very well and is easy to read. I will be ordering my own copy for my growing pool related collection from your website. Any way I...

Pidge....just watched the video. Great info. Thanks! I will be at the pool room when they open today and find the PP on my every day player and my break cue.

I was just reading the thread on bridge length and the pivot point was mentioned a couple of times. I realize I may get hammered for not knowing, (grin), but how do I find the PP? Be gentle....

Pinklady took several pics. I sure she will post em as soon as she wakes up! BB was a class act and the guy can play! He quickly took care of the guy in the room that barks all the time about his ability. He was pretty humbled by BB's game. It was great to meet you BB. Stop in and see us again.
