That's funny, coz Pat did it himself. I was watching at the time. You couldn't see Pat but you could hear him. He was right in Alvin's face. Max Eberle witnessed the entire affair. Contrary to some of the on scene reports here, Greg Sullivan had actually given permission for IP to shoot over...

After wearing glasses all my life, and every type of contacts they made for 30+ years, I finally had Lasik. Best yet. If your son is old enough it will be one of the best gifts you could ever give him. I have 20/25 vision now in one eye and 20/20 in the other. Been 10 years now and no...

I certainly consider SVB to be "among" the best players in the world. It would not surprise me if he became dominant and the player to beat internationally in the future, however he is not there yet. Having been to the Philippines twice my eyes were opened. There is an A player in every little...

He's right ! Two great competitors, and friends if I read it right. The best two players in the USA for sure. Johnny just didn't get all the rolls plus made a few key errors. At some point during the weekend Shane said he practices his break 5 hours a week. That's a dedicated young man and that...

What he said. Once upon a time, a semi-pro baseball catcher broke as I stood up from racking. Got hit right in the middle of the forehead. Changed my habit for life !

Even if he deserved it, the victim has awesome evidence now for his civil suit, and the criminal one too !

Stan Shuffett recommended a drill for me to improve the straightness of my stroke. Stevie Moore uses it as well. Whenever I play I do this first to warm up if I have enough time. Place all 15 balls straight across between the two side pockets, evenly spaced. 15 balls will fit with about 3/4" in...

What he said ! I've had a Meucci made in '79, a Scruggs, and a Frey. I had quite a cue collection at one time, including a high-end Dayton. The Dayton played the best of them all. Most of them were stolen and the rest sold when I retired. The one cue I will NEVER sell is my ebony Dayton sneaky...

Like some previous posters have said, most of the terrorism and kidnapping takes place in Mindanao, the southernmost island. For a poolplayer, there really isn't much reason to go there. Manila is a HUGE city. Depending on whose reports you believe, 18-21 million people in Metro Manila. I feel...

Why isn't John Schmidt or Stevie Moore playing ?

IMHO, playing once a week, albeit for 8 hrs or more, is like maintenance. Playing 3-4 times a week for 2-3 hours MAY allow for improvement. Playing every day for a minimum of 2 hours, being totally grounded in great fundamentals, preferably checked by a competent instructor or coach, will yield...

Thanks so much for the great link. I'm awestruck ! Rep to you :)

I've gone in those kinda places too, both bars and little poolrooms. I usually lose so I only bet 50p. When you do you're still action to them. I don't play 15 ball rotation, only 10 Ball or 8 Ball. One Sunday I went to the cockfights in Quezon City with a taxi driver as my guide. I was...

That's right. As long as you are enjoying it. I'm 61, maybe a -B player, but I feel great when I have a good day for ME ! I'm not planning to quit anytime soon, but I'm not playing any marathon sessions either. Still trying to improve in certain areas and having some success. It's all relative...

Who made it ? At $250 it has to be from Asia yes ? Doesn't mean it's not a great cue however. I just wanna know...Tom

If we're not in a bar where I can't carry my gun, and you come at me with a cue, I'm going to draw my weapon and if you don't retreat you WILL be shot...PERIOD ! You shouldn't have used a deadly weapon.

Dennis and SVB are going to have their hands full with each other. This should be an historic match. I've never seen Shane play in person, but I've seen every TAR match and all the videos on youtube. I was lucky to see Dennis play Lee Van in Manila in a money match and although I am a big SVB...

Yup...IMAGINE !!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asEjvAZOnek

I have had all the big name cases except for Whitten. Dunno how I've missed it. My Justis is my EDC. It's too short to acommodate my 59" cues with j/ps, and the pockets are very hard to get into. You need to be careful not to dump your cues and shafts out as there is nothing to hold em in. That...

Personally, I hope the 10 footer makes a comeback, but I doubt it will ever happen. I live in Detroit, a city with plenty of places to play pool. I think there might be one room deep in the city that still has a 10 ft table, but I am not sure. So, there is nowhere to practice on one. There are...
