Well here is some free advice from a self confessed "banger". Some background: Not a runout player. No fargo. Captained an APA team for 7 years with a pretty good win percentage. HAve a 7 ft. diamond at home. Took a couple lessons from the late great Scott Lee, have played shortstop level...

Tiger? Caitlyn? That is some high praise! Here's to hoping she lives up to her potential! I remember years ago older guys at the pool hall talking about "some little kid in South Dakota who is playing and robbing everyone"...THAT is some Tiger type stuff right there! (y)

Just saw a FB post from Sofia where she left Predator and picked up a Pechauer sponsorship. Good for her. She must be doing something right to have multiple companies looking to sponsor her.

yep. Just like any profession. Folks make choices.

I recently saw where newly enlisted privates in the U.S. Army (E-1) make approximately $24,206.40 per year in basic pay. Firemen, teachers, cops, emt's about the same. These professionals certainly don't do it for the money. I reckon the same can be said for pool pro's.

Looks like a scene from Psycho...

I thought she recently had to withdraw from a tournament for an injury...could be imagining that, though...

Um, Heck no! I would rather play bar box 8 ball on a valley with half the cloth missing, while shooting with a broomstick, while listening to elevator music, than have to play a long set of nine ball.

So when is the billiards_watch vs. JA Barbox match?:eek: Haven't seen a full match of Easton's, so how does she stack up against: A healthy Allison Fisher? Kelly Fisher? Pia Filler? Mrs. Fedor?

Not much one can do to argue with the points made here. My opinion only, but I think the lion's share of the credit goes to matchroom, predator, and social media. Matchroom and predator have made significant $$ investments in the game and hopefully this is just the beginning of their return and...

This is a good point. THere is a guy who sits outside our local Goodwill on Tuesdays (that is when they put out the new stuff. He drives a panel truck, and will fill it up with pretty much anything, and turn around and sell the stuff on FB marketplace. Lately, the used, donated stuff at...

As a University of Alabama alum, one of our greatest, said this in '65...not underwater, but... When Joe Namath signed with the Jets he did his first press conference in New York. A smart mouthed writer asked him, "Did you major in basket weaving at Alabama"? Without batting an eye, Namath...

Saw this movie the other night. Dude looks like he is playing a cf shaft. The movie came out in 1996. When I see some CF shafts for 200 bucks, and then the big boys with their cf shafts at $500, it makes you think. Betcha I could miss just as many balls with the 1996 model as one of the fancy...

points for creativity, though.

meh...I guess if you cant get your hands on a Diamond.... :LOL: Sorry. Couldn't resist. Have a good one!

Thanks for the clarification...yes, 1 in the side...

Don't know. Just saw the YT interview and thought it was interesting. I don't know that he was even thinking MR, as he was mostly talking about template and rack your own, and specifically mentioned money matches. But even many MR matches, it seems like the wing ball is going in the side...

Just saw an interesting clip of a CJ Wiley interview. Basically said he wouldn't play 9 ball for money today because with rack your own and template racks, every top player has the break figured out...said that is the reason you don't see very many big money 9 ball matches anymore...and that...

Maybe it is the concept of a "power" follow that needs to be clarified or elaborated on. When I think of a "power" follow, I am thinking of a firmly struck cue ball that has a visible moment after contact where it stops, maybe hops back a split second, and then takes off forward. I agree that...

couldnt make me any worse...sign me up
