I think the biggest difference that nobody ever points out is the guys today trying to set high runs are, well, trying to break records. Mosconi didn’t set out that night to break a record. He was putting on a show in an exhibition.

What absolute. Horse shit. In what way is mentality a quantifiable skill? It’s not. You debate like a stubborn child. -resent your opinion as fact, and then dismiss anything that differs. The perfect AZB poster. Absolute boomerism

Mentality is not a skill. Skills are quantifiable. Mentality is not. Again, your thinking is outdated.

Sure. Across multiple sports, multiple disciplines, there are those who have the skills and aptitude for a sport, yet they can;t make it. Why? They don’t have the right mentality. Whether they can’t handle the pressure, or they fold the moment competition doesn’t go their way. Everybody in every...

If anything is bullshit, it’s this statement.

Reputation is a huge part of it. Pool halls have a terrible overall reputation in the U.S. Yeah, a terrible one.

ITT: people crying that pool is becoming a world sport, and not just an American one. Seethe same thing in boxing discussion.

Much of this forum are really old people who continue to believe that anything made outside the U.S. is automatically garbage.

It’s called a sponsorship deal. Same as Predator and CSI

Very true. When the top European women and the top Asian women come to a WPBA event (less often for the Asian women aside from Wei Wei), they clean up against the American ladies. That includes the Euro women living in the U.S.

I might have to make a flyer, put them at each of the closest room. Bug’s is only 1/2 hour, Breakers is close to 1 hour. I have a feeling I’ll have better luck at Breakers, though, sadly.

Probably someone dropping chalk in the pockets. I’d guess 8/10 times when a ball is getting hung up in a return system, it’s because someone lost a chalk cube down a pocket. So has anyone seen one in the wild yet? We may be looking to replace the table at our American Legion in the next year or...

None of the people i try to ask are new players

I’d really like to get into playing 1p, 14.1, and maybe even banks. Problem is, all anyone in my area wants to play is 8-, and to a lesser extent 9-ball. What’s a good way to convince people to try something new? I mostly play at social clubs with leaguers Would I be better off just putting out...

I wanted to tell you all about a nice little room that I try to visit once a week, driving 30 minutes to do so. Bug’s Billiards is right on Old Route 40 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Fayette County. All Diamonds Pro-Am tables. Ten 7’ tables, two 9’ All the tables were...
