Turning Stone Practice If anyone is looking to get in some practice for the Turning Stone Classic XII, Main Street Billiards in Amsterdam, NY, has eight of the Diamond Tables from the last Turning Stone Classic. Rates are reasonable at $4.00 per hour and it is only about an hour from Verona...

$1,000.00 I believe you forgot a zero. In the email that I got from the IPT it stated $1,000 entry fee.

I will be at the Golden Cue. I love playing there. Had many great games of straight pool and nineball (old rules) there in 1966-69. Forgot most of the players but won my share and lost my share. Great straight pool action back then with a lot of good players throughout the area. Could be we...

I've been playing in the Joss Tour for about four years now. I know that I don't have a chance of winning. Why do I play? Well at 17 I was a road player for about three years, mostly in the New England Area. Used to travel weekends with Bill Corrigan, a great young straight pool player from...

Actually, the one of Thurston is done with a program such as Ulead Photo Impact. When you save it as a JPG, it saves the original photo without the masked effects. Also, why would you take the time to draw the UPC symbol on the magazine cover? Nice try though, gave me a good chuckle.

Golden Cue I realize that you are asking Cueball1950 but I have played, on and off, at the Golden Cue in Albany since 1966. The place has virtually stayed the same since that time. I believe their are about 18-20 9 Foot tables w Simonis cloth. Tables are fast. Iam not positive, but I think...

Brackets The only brackets that I have seen for the Joss Tour are in the Turning Stone events & the Joss Tour Finale.

Thank you all for your comments. I am on my way in the morning. I think that I will stick with Bankshot Billiards. I called down there and they said that they have Olhousen tables with tight pockets. See you at the Joss Tour Final.

I would also prefer a "pure oppl room" with tripple shimmed pockets. The last Joss Turningstone event was played on Diamond Pro tables with very tight pockets. I'll probably go with D&B's and trek of to another pool room after my guests get tired of playing. Thanks for your input.

Thanks again.

Thanks Marissa, I was considering Dave & Buster's but it looks a bit too "yuppie" for me and a bit noisy. How is the food at Bankshot?

Hello all, I am fairly new to this forum. I have a few posts, but mostly observe. You all seem so much more informed than I, so I usually don't have much to say. I will be on a business trip to Jacksonville, FL this week just before the Joss Tour Final. I am looking for a place to practice...

Thanks Koop.
