Here's what Simonis says: When I bought my table two years ago, I emailed Simonis asking what cloth they would recommend for someone who liked to play 14.1. I got a thorough reply from the company president, which I have unfortunately deleted. The thrust of it was a recommendation for 760...

I'm planning to check out the 14.1 World Championship next week in NJ. I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I've never been to a tournament like this before, so I'm wondering what to expect. Anyone have any insight / advice / color? Anything would be appreciated. For example, does anyone know...

JS tells us at the beginning of his new DVD that he is playing that day with an OB-1 cue. I have another video of John running balls (he provides comments afterwards) where he says he's playing with a cue made by Bobby Hunter. That got me wondering whether that Hunter cue also has a...
