You staying warm or what? Here in TN we had flooding over the weekend, then snow, and now cold. Should be single digits overnight today and tomorrow. Our dogs love it. Originally from northern IL, so no biggie for us but the locals... Local schools are closed due to 2" of snow. People are...

Finally had time to watch the match. That was extremely high- level play from start to finish. I was very impressed by Mike's ability to grind through a tough rack after sitting in his chair watching his opponent catch a gear and decimate his seemingly insurmountable lead. That was a display...

Mickey's game jumped up an entire level last year. He is now hanging with the elite pros. Prime Mike would be a good game but he's going to need some major rolls to make this a close match today imo. I wish him the best. I truly would like to see him get back into form and rededicate himself...

Exactly this for me as well. I can tell when this happens. If I accelerate too quickly, my head must move ever so slightly and that spot on the OB becomes blurry for that fraction of a second. When I focus on a slow start to the forward stroke this never happens. It's frustrating that I cannot...

Diamonds would be better. Most players do not need buckets in order to play with a 30 sec shot clock. It may add a bit of drama when the clock starts at 15 seconds. The pockets at this event looked to be 5"+. It was fun to watch in any case.

I watched some of that. Well played Easy. Have you heard if they plan to keep the pockets that size? Some of the shots that fell in a couple of the matches were ridiculous.

Well rats. We knew it was coming but it's sad to say goodbye to such a character. RIP funny man.

WTF I would have killed for this information 25 years ago. I was lucky enough to be within driving distance of Bert when I was coming up. Then we had his VHS tapes and some from a few others. Not even 1% of what people have at their fingertips today. There are a lot of quality channels out...

New Cue-itis usually causes the symptom of motivation to get on the table more. I keep my customs put away for safety and only play with a couple Cuetecs these days. When I grab my secondary cue it feels fantastic and I think I should switch it in as my main player. Then I take the player out of...

Didn't Larry do a similar draw shot but did it driving the CB into a line of balls to stop the forward momentum? I am certain I saw a vid on YT showing the shot.

When I am playing every day I can beat the ghost on my ProAm. I probably play a couple hours a week right now but I will wager I can beat the ghost on a GC w/5" pockets today. I have great difficulty adjusting to the speed, rebound, and traffic on the 7 footers. When I let my stroke out I get...

That's not horrible. Provided they secure their data.

I almost mentioned the Valley caveat. I play 99% of my pool on diamonds and each location seems to bank shorter or longer than the last.

Whew, now we can all get some sleep. jk, glad you can rest easy knowing it's not a fake.

One thing worth noting is the differences in how tables bank. When I am playing in a tournament on unfamiliar equipment kicking requires adjustments. Jumping does not. I am an over 600 player but this fact does not change regardless of rating.
