    Why people leave the forum.....

    Why I am less active on az billiards I post less and less. Why??? I think I have shown that my intentions are to improve the state of pool. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I have spent thousands if dollars and thousands of hours try to make things work. Yet so many 'keyboard...

    This blows my mind

    So did Joe Joe Balsis quit playing also for about 25 years to raise a family with his occupation as a butcher. He was from Philadelphia area too, I think. He came back and won USOpen 14.1 - this was around mid 1970's if my memory is correct. Just as amazing. Mark Griffin

    Attn; Jeff Sparks !

    Sjd FYI I get along with SJD just fine. There's a few posters I could do without- but they have the right to voice their thoughts and opinions. There are those that can be pretty nitty and obsessive. Mark Griffin

    Got a brand new replacement set of Cyclop balls. Thank you CSI.

    New set of Cyclop balls Thomas, Thanks for letting everyone know that we did exactly what we said we would do. This is the set of balls that showed a 'scratch' in the 15 ball. It appears the ball is NOT cracked as many thought - but has a surface scratch. Not sure how it got there because the...

    Video evidence that Cyclop is garbage

    Cyclop balls Lyn, Just to show my sense of humor, I'll recognize your post as probably more pertinent than most of the illogical 'garbage' that some of the others are posting. Do people really go through life with this skewed thinking process. You know, the 'it's made in China so it will...

    Video evidence that Cyclop is garbage

    Don't get lost with the facts It's froze once again shown himself to be a 'lop sided' thinker. I believe he had some 'issues' when I hired Ozzy - he used to play on Ozzy's pool tour- and is just someone who isn't happy unless he has something to complain about. Usually I have some sympathy...

    Greg Cantral Thank you for an accurate factual and real report. I'm certain several of the naysayers will have something to say. But as usual, they will be short on facts and logic. Soon their opinions will be irrelevant. Mark Griffin

    SVB does a great thing at Fargo Billiards

    SVB does a Greta thing at Fargo SVB really is a role model. I have been fortunate enough to spend a little time with him. He has NEVER acted out of line. The worst I ever saw him do was slap his cue stick on the edge of the table out of frustration. He is a role model and hopefully others...
