Hockey is having a moment in part because of a certain 'type' of show gaining popularity... Clearly we need a pool show with Fedor/Filler stand-ins where they fall in love on tour. Make it happen Netflix!

Just support your local league and play it. Vegas BCA is getting so ballooned with people doing this very thing the trip is now untenable and I've been to 7 of the past 9. I believe BCA needs to adjust this requirement but I suppose that may cost them a few players in the field so I'm sure it...

All those years ago Great Britain had to recruit the help of an entire continent to even up this match and chants of EUROPE have rained down on us since. This is a simple solution to even out this match and shut up certain individuals and it is quite simple: USA + Philippines. Each country...

I found the entire press conference a complete joke and a perfect example of why pool remains in the sports industry gutter. To follow up all the garbage comments and amateur theater with her immediately shilling for ticket sales before closing the conference seemed perfect, they can't even sell...

Welcome to my hometown Virginia Beach! I consider Qs my homeroom and play league there 3 nights a week and 1 Saturday a month for non-handicapped Champion's League. I also am involved in the Tiger Tour that plays 1 event there a month that is handicapped with fargo divisions. I'll be there...

Happened to me in April. I'm just a lowly 526 (albeit earned with almost 4k games in db) suffering through another 2 and out in the local monthly 550 and under event. I have a friend I play in Masters singles league who sits around 620 and gives lessons to some of the local players and out of...

Yeah good point, I mean imagine watching ads during the Super Bowl... Oh wait...

Thanks for the actual recommendation! It seems a silly thread but I've often sat there during a long tourney day wondering the same thing.. I've ordered some GEOX!

Interesting topic but I think the missing element in the posts I'm reading is table size! With so many bar-box taking over American pool rooms (my own Q-master unfortunately included) a lot of these games just don't make sense on the smaller surface, especially 1pkt and 14.1.. Now I think 2...

Been loving the tournament as usual and for only 7 pounds its a bargain to watch every frame. Also enjoyed lurking the thread as usual, thanks everyone for providing content! Was really hoping for Judd vs. Zhao, just a pure battle of generational lefties but old man willy had to spoil the fun...

Play a soft on a wood shaft (no glove). Like how it will harden over the months and wear into a nice medium that lasts. Mostly stuck in bar-box BCA 8 ball and Fargo rated 9 ball tournaments these days so the tip works best for control IMO.

1. Gloves 2. Masters chalk 3. Double Elim Tournaments that become Single at 64 players (still pissed at BCA for this change, went from perfect 4-0 start in 9ball to losing an 11pm match and being out of the event was a gut punch that I didn't recover from, this is not proper format for amateurs)...

Had a horrible summer and early Fall, no finishes in the money and quite a few 2 and outs. Then something just clicked in November and had a 3rd place, 2nd, and a 5th to close out the year. The 2nd was especially nice on a 9foot table tournament that I don't usually play on. Of course the new...

My advice would be to go back to the black. Sounds like a visual thing were you're eye is being changed by the different appearance of the tip. We're not really athletes anyway...

Still rocking traditional wood and NO GLOVE. I seem to be the odd one nowadays... I've hit carbon plenty but never purchased, just not interested especially since I stay mostly on bar-box these days. Do like them a bit on Break and Jump cues but not worth the $$ to upgrade for specialty shots...
