He was that, Heath! He helped me with my game and was such a champion of our sport. I'm sad.

I probably play my best now at the age of 61. Not sure if that's a statement on me working harder on my game over the last few years or how badly I sucked when I was younger.

Pat, You've been instrumental in keeping pool's head above water over the past few decades and that's something we're all grateful for! I also think you got the US Open back to the realm of respectability a few years ago and we're also grateful for that. I stopped going to the Open about 4...

Happy Birthday, Glenn! (I'm a few days late but the thought counts.)

Good morning all! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I'm looking for someone with a 9' Anniversary to give me some dimensions of the base. I've just moved to a house in the city (Richmond VA) and my table, which is currently in storage, will be moving to the basement as soon as I create...

I've been in retail and marketing for almost 40 years. What you're describing is a "big box" pool room. While I have seen some of them work, they are unicorns in this business. The cost of retail space, even that which is currently empty and has been for years, winds up being more than a pool...

Only if you believe in the theory of "If you build it, they will come." Just because you have a space to build out a large room doesn't mean it will become a growing business. Brian in VA

I spent some time with Mike at the US Open, several years in a row. Very knowledgeable about the game. He did have a tough life. Hope he rests easy. Brian in VA

Yep, it's actually been about 12 years.

He's missing like someone is looking for him. Brian in VA

A quick google search returns a number of "wood identification kits" that one can buy with samples of 40-60 different types of wood. Know Your Woods by Albert Constantine Jr. is considered by many to be the ultimate guide for a huge number of species. It's available on Amazon for a reasonable...

Not quite. Jack's concession to Tony was for a half in the match and a half was enough for the US to keep the Cup. It was the sportsmanlike thing to do as a way to show that the British (It was only the UK playing for it back then, not the Euros) had fought very hard to get close to winning. I...

Very sad tonight to learn that Voodoo passed away. Super guy. Player in the first CCB tournament a at the US Open back in 2000. RIP Big Steve. Brian in VA

1. Is he friendly and out going or serious and business like ? I find him to be friendly and easy to speak with but business like, too. 2. Does he play in your league and what is his handicap ? He does and he's a 7 (BCAPL) kind of hack, like most of us. 3. Is he easy to get in touch with...

As everyone has said, you've been one of the great voices and brains behind our sport, Jay. You deserve to do as you want and enjoy it! Thanks for all you've done! I've always enjoyed your work behind the mic and when I've seen you at tournaments, I always know things are being run the right...

I'm going to disagree with you, especially since the OP said that he lost focus when practicing. I contend that short, focused sessions will enable one to play better in a long match or series of matches at a tournament. That's been my experience anyway and it also gives me a method to go back...

I agree with Scott. My favorite practice session is to start with a speed drill to get my stroke focused and smooth. This takes about 3 minutes. From there I use the Qskills challenge to combine practice of ball pocketing, position, and thinking out more than 1 or 2 balls. I play at least 10...
