    Stories about the first time talent was recognized?

    Here in Norcal, we watched the kid who ended up posting some videos on youtube as Jesse Alred, later as Jesse James I think, playing one handed pool. Played in Sonoma County as a kid. There came a point where you watched him break and run racks of nine ball one handed, no resting of his arm on...

    My "kids". Both gone now, but not forgotten of course.

    Rags to Riches, Buddy's book. Question

    It's called "Rags to Rifleman, then what?" Many years ago, I remember seeing a completed Ebay listing for around $320 for that book. Good book, but I don't think it's good enough for your average fan to pay anywhere near that to read. I would think a serious pool fan would find it worth it to...

    Famous 3-Cushion world record run.

    I'd say a run of nine at three cushion is more like a straight pool run of 60 give or take. Almost all of the serious three cushion amateurs I know have run a nine. I only know of a couple people in my area who have run over 100 at 14.1 and both are short stop to low pro level players. The...

    2024 World Pool Championship

    The biggest tournament in bass fishing, Redcrest Championship, pays $300k to the winner and second place gets only $50k. A couple of years ago someone was leading and another angler caught a 2 lb fish in the last two minutes of the event to beat him and drop him down over a quarter million bucks.

    Cool Item I Found - Efren Check from the Sands

    Efren lost in the finals to Ralf Souqet. Some people think it looks like first place, but it was second place written on the bottom left. This check was part of a large billiard collection I bought from a friend, Tom Costello, who was a huge fan of pool and billiards and was present for most of...

    august west coast road trip- where should I go?

    A buddy of mine just opened his new pool room in Windsor, Ca which is an hour north of SF and only 20 minutes north of Buffalo Billiards. https://racksncues.com/ Literally just opened in the last week or two. Should do well. Definitely go by Buffalo Billiards in Petaluma and check out how the...

    Jeez...Shane just ran 2 consecutive racks in banks. 10 balls.

    2004. Ran ten, then I think he won the last set in either 2 or 3 innings. Truman Hogue ran 13 on another tape.

    RIP Yang 1978-2023

    I just hope that what this guy accomplished in pool continues to be recognized. Never met him, no personal memories of him, but as a fan of the game some players make such a mark that it would be a shame to not appreciate just how good they were.

    Cousins Custom cues

    They're nice cues. Used to see quite a few of them in the Bay Area north of San Francisco since most of them were sold from there.

    Dang camaro69926, either you're also a very good player or your son has been whooping you for a while lol. What does the "69926" mean on your screen name if you don't mind me asking? Bud Green--> born 9/26/1969 and curious if we have the same birthdate.

    Ronnie 1996 128 video - VERY fast

    I've posted links to this match a few times. Its hilarious, especially the way he shoots the last blue. One of the funnest frames to watch I've ever seen.

    What was Semih playing here?

    This is actually one of my favorite shots. Not the kind of shot someone at my level should try at any serious game, but there is a version of this shot Sang Lee shot on an Accu-Stat video many, many years ago and I never forgot it. If you hit the correct side of the first ball, in many cases...

    Two unrelated one pocket questions

    I would have guessed the only way to make a ball in your opponents hole is to go crazy and try the famous Corey Deuel hard break. Still hilarious to this day he played that break.

    Dr Dave for BCA HOF

    Dave will get there. Jewett should already be in. As much as he has contributed to pool, Byrne books in the earlier days, the more scientific approach to things, etc... he's been even more of an important asset to the sport of three cushion being kept alive in the US for decades. He never...

    How much does it cost to heat a carom table?

    Not Vietnamese. Couple of rooms in Norcal. Someone told me it cost almost 2 grand a month...I have a real hard time believing it but was curious if a different room owner somewhere had an accurate figure. You never know with just one room; they could have other issues going on.
