    Darren Appleton

    Thoughts and prayers with Darren and his family at this incredibly difficult time. Everyone who knows Pool knows that Darren is one of the all time greats. Hoping he pulls through. You can do this Dynamite. 💪👊👊

    Needing help choosing a players cue.

    I play with a Predator shaft and Fury butt. The butt is not so important, however, you need to make sure you are comfortable with the wrap and how it feels. With the shaft, you get what you pay for and in particular the quality of the tip, although, for example, a Kamui can be put on afterwards...

    What happened to Mika?

    Must be tough constantly being on the road for over 10 years. His standing in the game must have brought other income opportunities, so perhaps he has wound down a little playing only the big stuff. I'm sure he's still playing.

    I'll start

    I'm from the UK. Blackball is the current game of choice which removes the tactical foul element from the game. It's good fun.

    Who is the best pool player ever, when it comes to all games?

    I would go with Mike Sigel, Earl Strickland, Johnny Archer, Effren Reyes. Constant success over many years. I'm sorry more footage of Willie Mosconi does not exist and I've read that Luther Lassiter was a sick 9-Ball player.

    Who was the best pool player you ever played in your pool career?

    The best player I have ever played against was Phil Burford in a one day event in Nottingham when he was 17. I managed to win a group game 7-6, but it's absolutely right to say he was not even bothered lol. I've also played Mick Hill, who battered me for £50 9-2. Frustratingly, I missed 3...
