I am a CPA/APA league player who is an SL4. I registered onto this forum thinking it was a great place to share my fanaticism and learn skills to become better. Yes, I understand that was a mistake. Can the members here suggest another forum where this might be accomplished? It’s too bad...

When Rossaroni suggested a real life player I immediately thought of Kid D. ‘Running the Table’ was an entertaining read and the story has it all including a charismatic but flawed main character going out on the road encountering liquor, guns, and money. What more do they want? Of course, if...

CPA SL4, Shorty. I don't think they'll have any problems with my donation. I want to give you a heads up that the CPA tourney at Sharks will also be starting tonight (Friday) at 7:30 and the first round usually occupies most of the tables. Maybe you should phone ahead before making the drive...

Hi Shorty. I just came in from work and honestly, I’m just too damn tired tonight. The H2O is close to where I live but I’ve never gone there. If you tell us what time things start on Sundays and Thursdays I’ll put the effort in to meet up. Like you say, put some faces to the names. Keep...

Since your One Pocket stream was the first that held my attention I’d like to offer my newbie perspective. For most of the night I was on full screen but checked out the chat once the announcer made mention of the problems there. Neither clever or amusing, they were the standard gay references...

Another big thank you, this time to sde. Your tip will defintely make future streams more enjoyable.

what kind of skill level are you? Are you looking to gamble or play to learn? Probably all the one pocket players like to gamble a little...... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, those responses came quicker than I thought. @cuejo...

I want to post a big thank you for providing the stream. What a great introduction to a game I had only read about in some of the books I have. It ran a bit longer than the 9:00 pm that was posted on Facebook, eh? I will be looking for players in my area after taking it in. One note on the...

The question comes after taking in the 12 hour marathon stream yesterday courtesy of On the Rail TV. I had only read about the game in some of the books I have, but after watching match after match I now have a better understanding of the game and want to try it out. Maybe even “learn from a...

Although the Kodak Zi8 would not fulfill the streaming ability that was mentioned in the OP, it is a excellent choice for recording pool. I was more than impressed by the picture quality after uploading my first video onto YouTube. It is also light enough that when attached to a spider tripod...

Having just started playing carom, I’ve mentioned a couple of times about establishing a standard stroke. As a student attending a seminar by a master player I would like to see explained what deviations from the standard will do to the cue ball path; how to cheat the diamond system long or short.

Finished reading through my first APA thread! Pro: Venue: (area specific) Four of the nine teams in my division play out of the same club on 9’ tight pocket tables, which means the majority of the time my $10.00 green fees gives me a good competitive table and a challenge table, sometimes...

Thanks from someone not familiar with any of the names. I'm spending the morning watching search results for "Sang Lee" on Youtube. "Magical"

Do you still remember your first win over a player you respected? Last night was the first time I came out ahead of my instructor, Mike! Yes, I needed weight (250-100), and yes, I think he missed two shots he shouldn’t have, but I still needed to make my points which included a thought out 5-c...

With the video soon to be forgotten in the back pages of this forum, I thought I would share some demographic stats. Though not scientific it throws light on who is thinking carom enough to watch someone else play the game. -most views from California: 11 of 90 -no one north-west of Iowa -8...

The Highrun is my choice. It has nice tight pockets and I have seen decent players on Thursday nights (2$/hr per person after 7:00). They host tourneys Sunday: 8-ball @ 2:00/ 9-ball @ 6:00?. I would post videos of the play there, but the first time I started shooting video I was told to stop...

Something I hadn't noticed until a friend pointed it out is that the room is so bright there are no lights above the tables. What I forgot to pass on is that there is no alcohol served... "No bar, no pinball machines, no bowling alleys, just pool... nothing else. This is (Alberta Billiard)...

Playing against Mike (Alberta Bill) the games are 300 to 50 points, with him needing 2 3-cushions to finish things off. He is a great guy, taking the time to teach me the fundamentals, and letting us play well after closing. Right now there are six 4x8 carom tables and three pocket tables...

My first video on youtube of the place where I play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B27Y8lWigZg

Thanks for that information, shayne87. I had not heard of the Union Mondiale de Billard until just now. From their website: Section 14.2 in World Rules of Carom Billiards: The player has the right to use a "rake", a small stick with a stock at the end made of wood or any other material...
