RB married the daughter of the great violin virtuoso Jascha Heifetz.

Seeing Shane prevail on foreign soil was a real treat. Congratulations Shane!!!!!!!!!!

I think CF is a factor. But another huge factor, is the fact that pool rooms are closing. The upscale rooms that were in my area are long gone. If there is a large pool of players and a lively scene then some folks will by a nice cue for pride of ownership. Like driving a nice car. I've...

Man that is cold, never heard about that before.

I agree with a lot of the stuff you are saying and can share with you what happened in Cali. Gangs got into shoot outs in Pool halls. A kid got shot in Los Feliz IIRC. Then the insurance rates went way up on pool halls and many venues went to 21 so as not to have teenagers. In Germany I...

When the Rocket is playing well he is a sight to behold. The man has talent.

That's cool, each to his own. Myself I don't like playing One Pocket without a wager. I don't play for big money. I would say it's like neighborhood poker game stakes. Folks go to Vegas and lose to the house and don't flinch but there is something so personal about pool.

I agree the Hustlin t shirts are a bad look. Are you an action player?

The way I see it, there is less and less sneaking up on marks going on in today's pool world. In the room I used to play in for a decade and a half, there was always one pocket action and you could get a game 90% of the time. Everybody played out in front of a gallery of folks watching. The...

60 minutes is supposed to be a news show and more and more news is fake and that's the problem. To have SVB denounce action is like having the former Orson Welles denounce food. Most of the romance in pool is centered around playing for money. Playing for money is not really gambling in...

To imply that he is a pool shark is inaccurate he is a player and his speed is out in the open and fully clocked. Great One Pocket players can give up massive spots and still prevail.

The problem with pool is, when SVB walked into the pool hall in Santa Monica, nobody but the hard core regulars knew who he was. The folks that make up the bulk of the customers had no clue. Until that changes there won't be big money in pool. To sell content you have to have stars. There...

I was confused by SVB's response about gambling because it wasn't true. Pool is never gonna be a gentlemen's sport like Yacht Racing. Who would want to play One Pocket without a wager? Derby City is our greatest tournament in my opinion and the wagers flow like water there. They play for...

That's funny......................

Used to be a short stop level player that competed in pool in the LA area. The dude was a serious weight lifter, body builder. Didn't seem to affect his game at all.

PHJ has an unreal cast of older actors and younger ones. It's a miracle that the film was ever made. It's not Gone With The Wind and yet it is entertaining. Could it have been better? Sure............................. Mars co wrote, directed and starred in PHJ. You have to give the man...

Mars is a real character. He played pool at Hollywood Billiards and the Hollywood Athletic Club. Back 30 years ago. Time flies. Those were the halcyon days of the post Color of Money era in pool. The HAC was the hippest pool room of all time. Mars used to play at the main action table...

If you play one pocket you have to get used to playing pocket speed. Fine cue ball control is essential.

What about Fedor dropping the elbow?

Currently using a sniper on a CF shaft. It hits good.
