    Mika V De Luna Controversy....

    What if DeLuna's opponent was either Efren, Dennis, Busty, Lee Vann, Roland, Gomez, or Alex P? Would Jeffrey have called out any of them on this combo? I seriously doubt it because it would be shameful to a fellow countryman. But, against Mika, DeLuna thought he might get a call in his favor.

    I may be driving to the Derby from NJ on Thursday, the 19th. Share gas and tolls. I plan to stay the entire week. If you are a non-smoker, looking for a 12-hour ride in a M-B C300, shoot me a private message for more info. FYI, I've made this drive four times in the past. Karl Kantrowitz

    Rules.....

    At the 2022 American 14.1 players' meeting, we discuss the frozen/non-frozen cue ball situations in detail. When that situation arises, the shooter calls the ref to observe prior to shooting. This avoids any controversy.

    Hardships of Professional Pool as a Career

    Is there such a thing as natural talent? Some say yes, I do not think there is?

    A young man I had never seen before walked into my local poolroom, picked up a house cue, threw out all 16 balls on a fairly tight table and effortlessly ran the rack. He did it a second time, and then a third time, without even breaking a sweat. Now, his girlfriend/wife comes over, says, "Hon...
