Someone bid probably bc they believe that it is a Verl Horn cue which it is not.

Got lucky - 2 months / third floor of the house- rebuild of a tear down .

I have been doing a lot of pool table light research in anticipating my next new table and so far the Littman 8 foot light will be my choice as well - not cheap - about $1,000 - I guess something home made or a different style would be a fraction of this cost - but I’m not into making my own...

I am looking for a table as I moved back to CT from Florida and my new home has a 20X 28 bonus room - I called Diamond and they said 99% of new tables are pro cut - they did not seem to want to do the 4 3/4 - I think that I will go with a good used GC. $8500 was their quote on a 9 foot Pro Am

Well, it really is Not about hitting a smaller pocket target as much as it is, playing on a standard Olhausen, that you need to have pro level CB position skills in order to not have to move the CB with significant speed to your next desired position spot. A correctly struck OB may rattle on an...

I played for 8 years in Florida mostly on a 9 foot Olhausen. Yes the pocket angle is a huge issue. I can tell you that it takes almost pro caliber position play to reduce the pocket issue to minimum affect on one's game. Any time you get a bit out of line, where the cue ball needs to travel...

Like everything else in life- some people start with more natural talents for something and develop those talents to a professional level. Some without great natural talent are fortunate enough to have elite instruction/knowledge imparted to them early in their career and they develop everything...

Dallas West stated in a 1980s video on a 100 ball run that he had already shot over a million balls - he was still competing 20 years later so there you go. Every great pool player played at a clip that could reach a million balls in a 5-10 year span . Most had a significant stretch of 8...

Ask him what he considers the greatest match that he ever recorded in terms of viewer interest.

They have 7 years to audit you, although they would not audit just for $750 in revenue, a certain % of taxpayers in every income bracket get a "general tax compliance" audit- if you are selected at random- they WILL want your original purchase receipt on the rims or you will be liable for...

Every year the federal government has been changing the limit- ABOVE which all dollars collected online for an individual seller by payment companies will be reported to the FEDS and income tax will be due from the seller. Forever the number was $20,000 -but , a few years ago it was primed to...

Take a step back- The features of any plain maple shaft include the following: Weight, Straightness, Smoothness ( lack of dents/nicks) , tip diameter, shaft taper, Ferrule type and material, shaft tip hardness rating. IMO- ALL of the above features contribute to the actual feeling of the...

To me, vision center and eye dominance are mutually cancelling - in pool if the cue is centered - it is not under one eye- what about cross eye dominance - a righty cannot center the cue over his left eye and have any stroke clearance whatsoever and he could not stroke straight either. The...

On a podcast that Gorst did with Joe Rogan , Gorst ranked breathing techniques as one of the main keys to his high performance level. Strong final focus has to be on this list- it needs to be on the list of every sport or game that involves a ball that needs to be moved or caught. The body...

I listened to the first 2 episodes and then went back to watch John’s first 14.1 match against Sigel - you realize what great natural talent John has for the game as his shot making was unreal for someone without very much time in the game and also being in the spot light.
