    yesterday (9/10) was a sad day for billiards!

    Not accepting the TD decision is bad sportmanship Based on the comments on this thread this decision could go either way. Shouldn't the point be that the Tournament Director / Referee heard both sides, understood the issue, evaluated the tape, and made the call. Once the TD made the call, Shaw...

    The King of One Pocket Tournament - $50,000 - February 24th-26th

    Really looking forward to Box commentating these matches! Box has a way of showing you how to "look" at things you would not necessarily see for yourself. First and foremost he is a passionate "Teacher" of the game interested in bringing its purity and complexity into a dialog which captures...

    The King of One Pocket Tournament - $50,000 - February 24th-26th

    Must have Box for the live stream commentary!!! Unless you play One Pocket, which I don't, you need a very good commentator to explain the strategy and nuances of the game. Box does this better than anyone. If you want to open the game of One Pocket up to many more people he is a major asset...

    Should I first learn to jump or kick?

    Thank you all for your advice. I am going to start to practice kicking at every session to improve my game. But enough of you suggested jumping for a faster result that I have ordered a jump cue from Steve Lomax today. Hopefully, with enough practice both kicking and jumping will make me a...

    Should I first learn to jump or kick?

    As I begin to play better players, I find myself regularly hooked with their good safety play. While I'm sure the purist pool player believes learning to kick properly is a required skill for any legitimate pool player, I can't help but wonder if I should just learn to jump.

    Is it customary to tip Tournament Directors?

    I am just starting to play in some tournaments. The Tournament Directors seem to work very hard, very long hours and yet keep a great disposition while trying to keep everyone happy. As a new player, they have gone out of their way to make sure I am comfortable and informed. I am just...

    Jayson Shaw is looking for a tournament backer

    Would a golf model work? In golf a group of investors will often get together to form financial support for an up and coming young pro golfer. I came across this article offering advice on how to do it as a golfer. Perhaps this model would work in pool if the investment was not short term...

    Name the New Club and Win a Cue

    The Kickback When I was young we used to "hang out" then kids "hooked up". I was just told by my Son that the current term for kids spending time together is "Kicking Back". You can tell most of the names suggested are from those of us over 50 years old. You need a current name if you want...

    How to watch streams on my tv

    I'm not a true tech guy, but these ideas should work Wireless streaming to a TV can difficult and usually gets stuck buffering forever. You can hook your laptop directly to your TV using a HDMI cable and treat your TV as a remote monitor controlled by your laptop (external display). Your...
