    China Open

    Who trains these refs? Running all around the table, and making sure to be behind the player. It looks crowded out there, like three players and not two. On 95% of shots the ref doea not need to be out there. All that running around can shark the players. Especially when the ref on the next...

    Footage of Jay Helfert in some serious pool action

    Thanks! I had to make on the first try. They didn't have time for me to set it up again. No indented rack or special pool balls. All regular equipment! It truly was a balancing act just to get it set up.

    Pool is Thriving in Texas!

    Most U.S. cities have similar problems. I lived in the safest area of L.A. and I wouldn't go out at night. If I had to I was carrying. 70 years old and some bum attacked me at Venice Beach. I moved fast and he was down on the ground. He picked on the wrong old man.

    Pool is Thriving in Texas!

    In my first room i had one 10' snooker table. No one wanted to play on it so i took it out and put in two bar tables. The kids loved them! Even at .25 a game they each brought in $100 a week. From then on i always had at least two bar tables, along with 16-20 big tables.

    Adams/Balabushka Identification

    Yes, that's him. He started Adams bushka line, paying a royalty to the family.

    Ascension Carbon Fiber shaft.

    It's all about the maple. The aged stuff from Canada was the best. Thus the early success of Mezz cues.

    Adams/Balabushka Identification

    I Had an older Bushka replica by Adams, when the original CEO ran the company before leaving to work for Calloway, where he got filthy rich. His name was Dick ? It was a damn good import cue for that time period.

    Flatter shaped vs more round shaped tip

    Boom! I learned about this from Little Al Romero. He liked to leave a small flat spot in the middle of tips he installed. When asked why he simply said " better hit."
