    Why the new 1 pocket rule of ball made on break, re-rack at Derby City?

    amusing.... but,not saying it is intentional or not (a LOT of players consistently rack crooked without realing it)....the rack IS tilted..

    Postive Covid19 Test at CSI / BCAPL event

    I would think this goes without saying... but now everyone who was in Vegas.... has traveled back to threir respective places on the globe. Not canceling the event before everyone traveled there was perhaps the most irresponsible thing I have heard during this crisis. Please get informed...

    any pool-related vinyl records out there?

    Minnesota Fats had an album I found it in a collection of crap- might still have it somewhere. It is stories and the usual BS, and I think there might be a guest appearance by Waylon Jennings or someone like that.

    Places to play near Stratford ct

    I agree your best options are US1 billiards and Yale Billiards. Both of those rooms are about as real as one will encounter in CT. As mentioned, US1 will offer a chance to find Jayson there from time to time, but there is a signifcant drop-off after him (obviously). There a couple fo decent...

    Anyone familiar with Perry Weston cues?

    I knew Perry from years ago when he was in WI, and ordered some cues from him after he moved to AR. All f the cues at least through about 2000 that I had seen from him had the flared butt caps.

    Madison, WI- BB in WI

    The Old Fashioned On the capital square does not have pool tables, but it is a great place for Wisconsin fare, and the owner, Bob, is a pool player who can direct you around (I think he plays at the Brass Ring).

    Another Mud Table

    A few observations... 1) Alas- sad comment on two guys who have no social life, end up building the pool hall to continue their life unencumbered by romantic involvement (if the pair are a couple, then forget this point, other than to say they are still domiciled in a pool hall, like so many of...

    Tim Perry?

    I just heard, and it seems to be true that Tim passed away. I can't believe it has been over 20 years since I first played Tim in a college tournament in NH. I liked Tim from day one, as he was just a friendly guy who loved pool. After that, we played and ran into each other throughout New...

    Pool Players day jobs (No Doctors?)

    Bob Mendenjian is a DVM. There are plenty of doctors who play pool (some perhaps reasonably proficiently).... if you include PhDs.

    Cool Dr.Dave racking cheat/no-cheat vid.............

    hmmmm... I did a similar analysis a while back and had slightly different results. I was using a magic rack, diamond table with Simonis 860. I also incorporated the break speed mobile app (I am not sure if it was accurate, but it should at least be precise, which was useful). The major...
