my first " real cue" was a red leaf dufferin two piece circa 1990... I bought a house that came with a pool table with 4 red leaf dufferin one piece cues circa 1985...

No, I am curious as to how many times each player gets at the table compared to wnt. It could be as you say, each player averages only one chance at the table. The numbers will show that Casually viewing, it doesn't seem that much different as far as number of times each player gets at the...

I really like seeing the pros at the Table for their first inning, and seeing the wheels turning...the decisions on what set to take, and how to run it out. I don't see how this can be seen as that much less tactical than 9 ball... I have enjoyed this free tourney much more than the last few...

Pretty solid to post that heads up...kudos!

These will solve any slipping problems...not sure how the LVP will hold up though.

To piggyback your point about the recent Cologuard classic...one of the biggest characters of the generation in pro golf is john Daly. John Daly who smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, can still hit it a mile and tells great stories. Golf fans LOVE him. The biggest highlight of the...

Who's gonna tell him?

This map. Mississippi EAST of Georgia, Oklahoma in between Indian and Pennsylvania... I guess that would be a huge reason not to invade, they wouldnt know where in the heck they were!

They would surely be superhuman if they could. I know as a normal joe with a 9-5, having kids was a huge time and energy commitment. Late night feedings, sickness, Dr. visits, trips to the park...I can't imagine trying to maintain that standard of excellence.

Thanks for the insight. I imagine it just adds another obstacle to reaching that level...especially for a game like pool...

I have often wondered, and maybe some of you more knowledgeable folks might know, but how many of the truly elite, top 10 level players have families including children. Obviously you have the power couple, Josh and Pia, but I have not heard of them having any kids. There is also Sky who has...

Who is we?

Careful! Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away, it was safe to assume all 5 balls are orange, But not anymore...
