    Who, is your pool playing hero, and why?

    It is impossible for me to have just one. I have my favorites in three different categories. Sportsmanship- I always admired Varner in his prime when I was learning to play. He has always been a perfect sportsman. He always took the high road above any trash talk or gamesmanship. Pure...

    Sick jump by Shane

    Check out this sick jump shot by Shane at 1:12:00 in this video from the Derby. First of all, he is using a full length cue and draws the length of the table off of the rail. Man, that just ain't right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkuil0X9H8I

    Pool Will Never Be Big Like Golf

    People often compare pool to golf because of the precision and fine coordination required. However, to me it is as close to chess as it is to golf. For example, in golf you rarely think 1 shot ahead, let alone 5 shots ahead as in pool and chess. The beauty of pool lies in it's sophisticated...

    Has switching cues/shafts made a significant difference in your game?

    Yes Yes, but for different reasons. A high end cue or new shaft certainly did not make me better overnight. However, owning and playing with precise, beautifully crafted equipment such as my Schons and OB shafts makes this game truly fun. And when it is fun, I practice and play more ... And...

    Thoughts about Meucci cues

    Meucci vs. today I've played pool for well over 20 years. The first 17 years were with a couple of Meucci Originals. Back then, they were very good quality and the feel was unique in the market ... long taper, flexy, and back-weighted. When I moved away from Meucci, I wanted a similar feel...

    BEST CARE for a POOL ROOM!

    Price For what it's worth, I just paid $450 (labor and materials) to have my 9' Olhausen done. That included removing the old Simonis and replacing with the same 860. Of course it included a complete re-leveling as well. When you think about it, that is not bad if you are using a real...

    laminated shaft vs reg maple shaft

    dings After playing for over 15 years with maple, I now play with the OB-2 and think it is the jam sandwich. I will never go back to a non-LD shaft. However, the one thing that really bugs me about laminated shafts is that they are much more prone to little dings and dents than conventional...

    Review of the OB-1 and OB-2 shafts

    I've read a lot of mixed reviews on the OB shafts and I wanted to post my own review these products. I am 40 years old and have been a pool addict since I was 19. I've been playing with the OB-1 for about 2 years and recently I've been using an OB-2 quite a bit. I have read a lot of reviews...
