    Best chicken wing shooters?

    not necessarily chicken wing but Bustamante is loose as a goose. Richie Rich is another monster that comes to mind with a less than conventional stroke.

    Best in Billiards Names the Greatest Players, Products and Contributors in American Billiards History

    @azhousepro did you ever get validation on this? i just became aware of it last week and looking through looked like AI money grab to me. The stock photo they used for the founder has tons of hits going back several years.

    1995 garage era predator pool cue with prototype six slice shaft in excellent condition. With the original butt laser engraved ICF – 14–95.

    Oh no. The "i know what i got" has crept over to pool sales. You're not into old rusted out Land Cruisers by chance are you? Jk. That is cool though. Wonder if it would be worth more to predator than someone on here.

    Hotels with pool tables

    The Omni in Dallas has some pool tables. The Leela Palaces in India have snooker tables.

    My competition sports/Adam tribute cues

    Hard to be certain from the picture but i believe i have cue #6 in your top picture. No markings on butt, no signature, rounded pin. When did they get produced?

    You'd need both someone that actually has a big name, and who gives a crap about pool. So as far as "aiming higher", i can realistically name no one. Besides Manny Pacquiao, which doesn't really help us here. You're not just gonna get Morgan Freeman to organically develop a love for one pocket...

    Anyone that thinks getting Joe Rogan to comment on and bring visibility to pool is a bad thing is off their rocker. "nnoooo we don't want thaaat gigantic massive celebrity with one of the the largest and most successful online platforms in history! we want a different ooooone" I don't care...

    Speaking of - anyone know what Capito was inhaling in his match? Obviously nothing illicit since he was doing it on live tv but when he was on the hill i noticed he pulled out a chapstick looking thing and took a whiff in each nostril. Also saw he's sponsored by "buzzup" which i couldn't find...

    My competition sports/Adam tribute cues

    Who says I haven't asked? Point is i've been explicitly TOLD different things, about my exact model cue, and everyone figures themselves an authority. I've been told by a vendor still selling them it was a Balabushka HoF series, then an Adam, then a Competition Sports. Then you throw out 3 new...

    My competition sports/Adam tribute cues

    lol - i've been playing with one of the cues pictured for years, and everytime i think i know who made it/where i came from, someone comes in with an "aaaccttuaalllyyyy....." and then i have no idea again. whatever. it's a beautiful cue and plays wonderfully. i'm just gonna say santa made it...

    I don't understand this take at all. The best "player" of any era would also have been the one winning the most. Dennis is an all time great and no one's saying otherwise, but was never the best. Darren was also great, but hardly a litmus test for "who's best pool player". Don't understand the...

    In no universe is 1p a toss-up between Alex in his prime vs Dennis in his prime. Tony and Dennis were back and forth playing even when they both were at their best, and Alex was giving weight to Tony and anyone else whenever he could get a game.
