    Is pool dying in the US???

    Seriously guy?? Who is going to drive that far to play for quarters?? He only called me out because he lives in CANADA!!!!! He knows no one is going to drive up to 3rd world and play him. I live in Georgia...... LOL I told him he can match up with me at the Super Billiards Expo. (Which is...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    LOL Seriously... How much we betting?? Anything less than $10,000 isn't worth it for me to drive to CANADA from GA. LOL get real.... You asked me to come up there with a bankroll and play. I don't need to prove anything to you. You are a chump and always will be. End of story..... BTW, when I...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    LOL How about you and I just match up at the next Super Billiards Expo instead of playing the stupid phone call game?? I assure you that if you call your friends and I get to bring my action heroes, you and your league friends might not like the guys I bring with me. Stick to being a league...

    Phenolic cues banned? APA -Bca ?

    Well, I would have to agree with you on this one. The only Phenolic Tip that can cause damage is the G-10. It is the Clear, Neon Greenish colored one and it's material is actually harder the cue ball. That's why it is dangerous to use. The regular LE Phenolic Tip that most of your players have...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    I agree with you in a lot of areas. I believe that leagues are responsible for getting many new players started. I am not pointing the finger at pool. I am going to get better than what I am now there is no question or excuse there. I just have been encountering a lot of different people who...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Now see, I tried to just let it die in the end by simply stating you are right... So why do you still feel the need to keep talking about it?? If you really want to see immaturity then why don't you look in a mirror. You speak about me being immature because of the ways in which I respond to...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Bro, I just want to say. You are probably the coolest guy I've ever met in my life.... You have the best equipment at your house, you seem to know everything (maybe you could be like the next Nostradamus, but for pool), you apparently know everything about me, and judging by the way you defend...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    It's not that, it is just my skill trade I developed from working in the military isn't in high demand and it is hard to find steady work due to lay offs and cut backs. Obviously seniority in my career field takes priority with job preservation so when the cut backs came, being straight out of...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    No I just got out about a year ago and OMG did I make the worst mistake of my life... LOL The military (including 2 tours in Iraq) was easy living compared to being out here. :confused:

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Please, I don't need for you to explain to me the cultures and lifestyles in Europe. I was stationed there for 3 years and it's where I 1st picked a stick up and I learned to play pool the whole time I was there.. I've only been playing pool in America for about a year and I've noticed...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    No actually I don't, because I know how I got started. There was a pool table in The Community Center on Base and they used to have Pool tournaments going when I went in to play Halo tournaments. I watched and said "I think I could be good at that." I tried it out and who would have guessed it...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Well, I'm glad you are a 7. Like I said I am sorry for making fun of your league, I wasn't intending to make anyone upset. I'm glad you have 2 kids, and a wife too. That's great for you, but some don't have those tie downs. So for them spending time in the poolhall isn't all that bad. Really...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    AH yes, POKER is a game. The others I mentioned including pool are sports, totally different. It requires far less skill (to sit there on your behind, calculate percentages, judge people's emotions, and get lucky here and there) than in pool and in the WPT you will make WAY more money than in...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Golf, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis. Are also all games, Pool is no different. Attitudes like yours and people with negativity about Professional play is why Europe and Asia will dominate the so called "pool world" in the upcoming 10 years or so. Most turn to underground because...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    .... Ok, now my question being Is pool dying in the US.. That is targeted towards producing Professional players, Representation of the US in major events, and serious stuff like that. I went off on a rant at the end about leagues and handicapped tournaments because those are the reasons I...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    Ok this statement is not accurate. Try giving someone the 7 out who plays the same speed as you and just play the table. You'll find out that underranked player will bust you REAL QUICK unless they get extremely bad rolls or you play perfect pool. People don't like to be pitted against better...

    Is pool dying in the US???

    I see it more and more every passing day. Less and less people in the poolhalls, action is deminishing left and right, and nice rooms are simply closing down. What is the deal?? I mean doesn't anyone care for this sport anymore? So many players I know have just quit all out or have fallen into...

    Mosconi Cup 2009 US Team

    Well John, that makes a good point as well. Now that I think about it a little more, having Stevie and Corey on the same team might not be such a good idea after all. I don't know personally how well they get along, but I've seen them get pretty hot towards one another at a tournament. They were...

    Europe rocks

    LOL I love this comment..... Leagues here are a 100% JOKE. They are not designed to make you better. They are designed to keep players in a swirling trap and feeding weekly and annual dues into their pockets!!!! The handicap system alone causes huge problems. Higher ranking players are...
