I'm glad he's taking a break, he's running around the table. When he's sitting in a chair you can see his chest going up and down like he's having a stroke.

Just watching the live feed on YouTube and there's no sound? Am I just watching the wrong feed?

I like the central location. It can be like an 8 or 10 hour drive from so many parts of the country.

I just went ahead and clicked on again to watch for a little bit and do it the benefit of the doubt. I have to stick with my original assumption is it's absolutely horrible. I think the gray may actually bleach out the color of the balls cuz you can hardly tell the color of the balls. It's like...

Yes, and if you're not already a pool enthusiast this almost is like a subconscious sense of, "This is boring" Back to my original question, why would you do anything and I mean anything that would take away from the value of your product you're trying to sell? Was the choice of gray just...

I haven't read most of the post so I don't know if this have been mentioned. Years ago I played on Gray cloth in a pool room and kind of liked it. On TV though, it looks horrible, almost to the point of making it unwatchable. Why have they chosen gray cloth?

I just watched the end of the run cuz I was curious what he misses. He misses a 10 in the side that skidded worse than any shot I've ever seen. The ball spun like a top and missed by inches. I think on John's deathbed his final words will be, I swear, it skidded.

Oh, I most likely did see that thread but just didn't remember or just assumed they were talking about one of John's runs but not a new one. Be fun to see John play Shaw a match game, say a thousand point catch up match. I don't think either one plays straight pool really better than the...

Just happen to see this on YouTube. Don't recall seeing it commented on. 820 just 12 balls short of Shaw. I love straight pool but don't think I can watch 3 hours and 48 minutes.

Is that really a sponsorship? It looks like a banner ad probably sold to a local distributor for maybe a grand.

Pool has a certain aspect about it where there really are no limits. As you play the game you set personal bests. This becomes who you are in the game as it relates to you. High runs, tournament wins, matches where you came from behind to win an unwinnable match. Players you beat when you were...

I have run a lot of balls. In the 50s and 60s, all I usually practiced was straight pool. Although, if I got in trouble I would never do anything I would not do in a real game. That is just kidding myself. Even watching Jason trying to set records. He many times does things he would never do in...

Any cue makers or want to be cue makers in South florida?

Seems kind of silly. Why try and reinvent anything if they want to play a shorter game just play six ball.

I'm just watching this Arizona open on TV.. Seems like there's one of these tournaments every week or every other week, what are the entry fees in these tournaments?
