Harold Worst. When finding out he had a brain tumor and only so long to live he won a 3 cushion tournament, a snooker tournament, and an all around (first in all three events) one-pocket, straight pool, and 9ball tournament. I guess he didn't start playing pocket billiards until he turned 32...

I'm a little nervous about the shopping cart checkout on dcctickets.com. I noticed that when I was doing the checkout, updating shipping address and other information that none of it was being sent through HTTPS. After I enter my credit card info, and the form has been submitted is that sent...

Deathball. Watching Timmy beat his ass one-handed in one-pocket was awesome.

25 on the way

Minnesota Fats, I hear he never lost a game. ETA: nvm, forgot about the alive part. :(

I would guess it is something to do with them updating the page to allow sales.

Hey Freddy, I bought both books and the dvd set and it has been a lot of help. If I have questions (via private message) regarding some of the banks, will you answer them?

ATM = at the moment You make a great point, and I agree with you. I think that the news-breaking will happen and pool will become as big as or bigger than it ever was in the US. Maybe another Fats, a virtual-pool game, or another decent movie will come along and ignite the spark again. Look...

I would stake my life on it. I don't believe it will be as popular as more mainstream sports, but then again, it probably never was. When virtual pool came out, I got interested in pool. I would play off and on. I played more when virtual pool 3 came out. Those games sparked my interest in the...

this, a million times, this. The good old days sound pretty romantic when I hear the stories, but the reality is different. I'm not talking about just pool's good old days, this applies to anything. People get older and watch as the world they knew starts to transform into something that is...

OK, thank you. I've been registered for a few months, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

But wait... I have it on good word (several actually) that Fats was the greatest pool/billiards player ever. Never lost a game. It is projected that they will not have the technology for another 100 years to completely disect the pure science/poetry of his game. ;) I picked up the "Hustler...

I'll be there from start to finish. How do I go about registering to play in banks/1-pocket/9-ball?

I was only going by what I was told. After Hunter said it was a Nova, I looked up a few and it seemed to be a better match. Doogie: Do you know the model number of that cue? Thanks to all for you help.

Viking Turns out that stick was a high end Viking and extremely hot. The person who sold it to me just found out and let me know. He bought it back off of me and now it is going to go back to the original owner. Apparently the butt was broken so they replaced it. The stick is going back to...
