    Can anyone identify this table?

    I tried the car table guys page. https://carpooltables.com This was my first thought but didn’t see a similar enough front to side by side the images. I’d like to say that my holy grail table would be a gold crown tournament edition that looks like black piano. But to have ball/score...

    Does CTE Require Perception or Not?

    I look forward to the book coming out. I have a lot of different books and DVDs and while I don't own every single one, I do learn from every one I buy or read. Some things take longer to stick, some things are like mini epiphanies. Either way. I want to say thanks to all the people who discuss...

    You tube is robbing pool players

    Ive been to a handful of events that I've recorded matches I was watching. However. I also have never posted any of those videos and rarely share photos of players I take at the events. Now with everyone and their kids carrying smartphones it's almost like having footage from sixty angles. I do...

    Ordering a JB case

    I cannot wait until I can order my own custom case. I love the work JB Cases does, and going through their gallery seeing all of the cases they have previously made. A few fellow pool players who have one of JBs cases absolutely love them.

    APA 3-Way Tie-breaker FIASCO

    Im trying to figure out how you have teams getting a 12-9 or vice versa. Our 3 point scoring system makes it where the max we can get a week is 15 if we swept all 5 matches. I can see how a 10-5 would happen if all matches went Hill-Hill, or a 10-0 if you won all 5 matches but they won at least...

    Chalks.

    I think my personal favorite is Blue Diamond, though Ive enjoyed using the Kamui .98 and if 30$ is relative to you its not a bad choice (even with having to clean the cue between matches. I also liked Predator, the weird octagon shape was not meant for the pocket chalker crowd, however it works...

    Qualifying for APA Nationals with multiple teams

    In San Diegos APA you would receive the money for each team you were on as mentioned. So if you had two teams youd get two checks. Imagine if you got their for 8 and 9. Then you'd get ten days in vegas, then again that could be too much for some. I went to Nationals in 2009, I had a great...

    Predator chalk

    In my opinion I think the Predator and Blue Diamond were very much in the same class. It is funny having an eight sided cube of chalk. I did notice that the Predator did not last as long and I can get the chalk down the the paper or just about that. I have a piece of blue diamond that at the...

    my John Parris Classic cue

    One of my teammates is in a relationship with Johns sister. He went out to meet all the Family in old blighty and John gave my friend Ron a very sleek and sexy Parris snooker cue. I have only played snooker a couple times. When I borrowed his snooker cue and took it into a room with snooker...

    Accu-Stats Makes it Happen for Straight Pool !!

    I did watch the Ortmann/Martin match and Cohen/Lombardo. That was the year they did the tournament when that storm flooded lots of places out that way. I think I even remember hearing a few players having trouble getting in on their flights. And to say the Cool Cat again. Martins book was...

    interesting question

    I know maybe three scratch golfers here in sunny so cal. But I refuse to get involved with golf because I spend most of my free time playing pool. Ive only ran over 50 once in my short 37 years. I was probably lucky that I got that many. But I still use that as my target goal to reach for...

    SVB in DP 14.1 Event

    This is fantastic news. I will be in the NJ/NY area the 21st to the 2nd. I have made plans to get to Steinway to watch the event. Knowing SVB may be there is an additional bonus. I feel like a giddy teenager. Well, I am excited to see them at least. I dont get much 14.1 in the San Diego area.

    2013 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Well, I haven't come close to beating the personal best of 57 yet (From 2011). I keep getting myself out of position, or play a bad pattern and trying to force myself back into the right/better one, and working out the best break ball/cue ball area for me to keep it going. So 2013 I have only...

    Accu-Stats Makes it Happen for Straight Pool !!

    I wish I could have thrown them 300$ to help with all the associated costs involved in making it happen. I can only hope I will find work soon, so when these opportunities come by I can jump on board. I really love watching 14.1, I enjoy playing it even more. But where I live in so cal very...
