Wondering if you could clarify something for me. I have a Sugartree, and was wondering about the pin. Is it a standard 3/8 X 10? Or are his pins what they call a 3/8 X 10 modified?

Places to play within an easy Uber or public transportation ride from the general airport area? Soft, friendly action? Diamonds? 9-footers? TIA

I don't believe the table at MHB has a true snooker directional nap cloth on it like the ones I've seen in other countries. I'm pretty sure it's billiard table cloth. Wasn't Denver home to one of the only pro snooker players in the states? And I seem to think that he owned or played out of a...

I also live in Thornton, and you pretty much need to settle for bar boxes if you want to stay in the area. Mile High has several Diamond boxes, four stoooooopid tight big tables, and a snooker table. Another option is Zoosters up around 120th. Very fun room with diamond boxes. There are a few...

I see the same thing. The watering down of the players field. All these "world champions" return to their home rooms as heroes, but none of them could get past the 2nd round in the US Open 9-Ball. No wonder we can't win the Mosconi Cup! Dave

As far as I know, there wasn't a place in Denver that would step up and bring him there. Two appearances in OKC, I thin three in Texas, some in Kansas, and one in Nebraska. All this time, floating around the Midwest, and not a single establishment from Colorado stepped up. Dave

Ohhhh his high gear is 700 plus. But his table manners, game selection, mental game, and emotional game are below 600. He's one of those guys that will crush a world class player in the first round, and then take a shit against a local better player in the next round. He's been primarily a big...

I call BS!! Short races are like playing a game of basketball where the first team to score 6 points wins! If my life depended on beating a world class player, the shorter the race, the better my odds. I would need some serious rolls, and some serious luck. longer races eliminate the luck and...

I've heard people call it a banana shot, or a jitterbug. Basically, it's when the OB is close enough to the rail, that when the CB comes off or through the OB, it's so close to the rail that when the top spin takes it into contact with the rail, the CB hasn't generated enough speed (because...

Keith Josey cues, based on my experience, are the only cues I've ever played with that all felt the same regardless of joint, wood type, and differences in design. Which is why Josey cues are probably the only cue I would ever purchase as a personal player without first hitting a few balls...

Congrats papa. Still hoping I can make it down there to hit some with you guys. Dave (camera with a stick)

There comes a point in time with any solid players evolution, where he/she becomes comfortable with "accepting" a slightly more difficult or longer shot as opposed to trying to get near perfect shape in order to avoid excessive cue ball travel and/or landing on the wrong side of a ball. Dave

Contact Ryan Henry at Anytime Billiards, he does tips. I also do tips, but it's not my livelihood. Dave

Im as red, white and blue as the next American but I actually learned how to play pool in Japan. Everyplace you go in the Tokyo/Yokohama area it seems there are pool halls often staffed with world class house pros. I remember Naoyuki Oi as a Jr High School kid coming around to the weekly...

One reason is obviously the payouts. By the time you pay airfare, a weeks worth of food and lodging, and for transportation, these guys almost have to have a top 8 finish just to even up. Also, in a country such as the Philippines, many people are still born into poverty or in the country side...
