    Why not Pinegar?

    Doesn't the American team get to pick a random player for the fifth spot or am I just having a brain fart?

    Why not Pinegar?

    He pretty much gotten crushed by any European he's played. Not all, but most. He's not even in the top 100 Fargo ratings. Josh Roberts would be a better choice. I even like Jeremy Seaman better then Wolford. Just my opinion.

    Why not Pinegar?

    The only player I picked was Pinegar. I mentioned the others only as a reference to some who couldn't hold up to the pressure in past Mosconi Cups.

    Why not Pinegar?

    With the Mosconi Cup being in London this year, I (IMHO) think it would be wise for the USA team to have some newer players on the team that will not fold up in the past (Dechaine, Bergman, Reinhold for example) under the intense pressure the drunk and boisterous English crowds will surely...

    Dennis Orcollo v Fedor Gorst (9 Ball/ Race to 90) July 30-August 1

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine would be a much better way to describe it. The way you put it could lead some to believe that the Ukrainians were the aggressors.

    Walking Up To The Shot

    My .02 worth. Stepping into the shot will insure that your feet are positioned properly. This is my main reason I do so.

    Pool returns to ESPN….

    Kinda like the Galveston World Classic and the Ultimate 10-ball. Both held in Texas and both were one-and-done.

    Gloves

    Kinda hard to disparage nowadays when @ 80% of all the pros are wearing them.

    OB cues shut down?

    I'm glad to own one (a 30" one). It hits, IMHO so much better than my 314-2's.

    30” break shaft

    I use a 29" (Pechauer Black Ice) shaft on a custom 31" Jacoby butt and I'm liking the heck out of it. Since the Black Ice shaft if heavier than most 29" shafts, it balance the cue out nicely (subjective). I know this isn't the combination you were asking about, but thought you might get some...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    That's big talk, but it will never be proven. Some of them would refuse to play under those conditions for starters.

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Yeah, Mark Wilson is the commentator who feels it necessary to use all the fancy words when he talks.

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Bowlers of today are no better than those from decades ago...but their equipment is head and shoulders better. Today's bowler don't put the ball into the 1-3 pocket any better, but the chemical makeup of their balls help increase pin action. Also, if you really pay attention, you'll see today's...

    Who Really Invented One Pocket?

    But like 2/3rds of the Oklahoma Sooners football teams, he was born in Texas!!!

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    When we go down to the farm, I always stop at a grocery store and buy a bag of apples. They explode rather nicely and the deer and raccoons appreciate it later.

    I use painter's tape and cover the holes previously made and re-use the target. You can do this several times, depending on the amount of ammo your firearm will hold. Saves a good amount of money.

    New Billiard Tech: Air Bridge

    That's a very refined piece of equipment there. How long did it take you to rummage through your garage to find the three pieces it took to make it?
