    What's wrong with our sport as I see it, and how to correct it.

    Here's my 2 cents for what it's worth. As individuals, getting a Pro tour going or Pro league doesn't work in the States. Not because pool is boring to watch but because fans want to get behind a team and compete against other cities. They want to be a part of it and they accomplish that with...

    How big of a "pool sin" did I commit???

    Years ago I was in a team 8 ball tournament with the APA. They have lots of rules and it makes most thing pretty cut and dry as far as what's aloud and what's not. This was around my sixth time at a Citywide level event and it must have been the opposing teams first. The deer in headlights look...

    Solid Ebony cue case!

    ALOT!!:D I honestly didn't put it on a scale but it is not something I would want to carry around for any length of time. My buyer said it will most likely never leave his house but he does plan on taking it to some shows in the future.

    Solid Ebony cue case!

    Hi Guys, I have been working on this case for the better part of a year. It took me 3 months just to find Ebony boards wide enough to make this pool cue case! I was asked to make this out of solid Ebony and Ivory with a real fur interior. Before you say anything, I know in the states Ivory is...

    Book...The Color of Money

    Color of Money I was a teenager when the movie came out and was disappointed when I left the theater. Most of the "hustling" went over my head and I would have to guess it was because I was young and barely shot once a month back then. I think it was an OK movie but could have been better. I...

    1920s Wendt 9'

    Good morning junkies of all things billiards! I picked up a 1920s Wendt 9' (Grand) table over the weekend and have had a very hard time finding anything out about the table. My local expert who has restored and sold several over the years is stumped on this as well. What veneer was used on this...

    Is this a Brunswick???

    I think people put Brunswick badges on them to get more money for them when selling them before the internet came along.
