Nice article. I like the last part where Mosconi actually says Crane will dominate the game for a long time. This was very high praise coming from the Legend himself.

Mike, WOW! That's a nice giveaway.....

I am old enough and that is actually "Thing" Cousin It was the hairy mop looking dude.....

My wife and I tried to watch it about a week ago. About an hour into this film we looked at each other and turned it off. It just didn't grab us at all. Plus, it's based on real life events that we already know the outcome. Just not my type of movie.

Very true, many of the ol posters are not on much any more. Used to be some great stories :)

I see him in Vegas every year. He hangs out at the bar box gambling tables. I'm sure he wins more than he loses there. His Fargo is 711, so he's no slouch.....

This whole thing cracks me up.... If somebody's cue is stolen, the first thing people want is to check the security cameras and find out who did it? Do you think those cameras are only working when a cue is stolen? You are on camera everywhere you go, get over it! Pool matches are being streamed...

I would not have any problem with the camera. Of course, I'm not a public figure and also have nothing to hide. I'm going to retire in August and thought I would pick up a camera to record sessions of my own. It is a great tool. Some players just refuse to take your word about a problem with...

Mika will always be remembered as the guy who had the 9 ball break rule changed. No more soft breaking...... Unfortunately, he was on the receiving end of Corey Dueul's break n run fest. I believe it was 2002? SJM or Jay Helfert will probably know the date and venue better than me....

I thought it was funny...LOL Plus, I'm sure his daughter plays pool from time to time...:yes:

Do you think Filler's backers want to take on the undisputed King at his best game? What if Filler wins? How many people will want to play him after that? If your in it for the cash, and most backers are.....why play the best and throw away money you could win from the low hanging fruit? just...

Jay, This is good to read. I'm retiring next year and would love to attend this event in Vegas the following year.

SJM may be a little behind on the stream but he is the only one giving descriptive runouts for us that do not have the stream. Keep up the great work SJM :) I don't care what you call the breaks, I can figure it out whether it's wet/dry....keep it going.

Just to add my .02 on the delivery of a new Diamond table. I ordered my 9ft Diamond Pro in April of 2007, cause my birthday is that month. I was told it would be delivered in July. Long story short after many phone calls, it was finally delivered and set up Xmas eve of 2007. Don't hold your...

Like others have written, probably best to join a League. But, if you hang out at the same pool hall 4/5/6 night s a week, I would say odds are good of meeting somebody. You just have to be out there and available. As a side note; being decent looking yourself and a steady job doesn't hurt your...

Here is my .02 Barring any physical impairments, if an instructor is good enough to teach the basics of stance, grip, stroke, etc.... I would think they should be at least around a 525 in Fargo. They should be able to follow their own teachings and be at least a 525. Age can also be a factor. I...

I'm sure Jay or somebody else that was in the area back then will chime in.

Looks like a natural to hit high/center and get the cue ball back to where it is now. I don't like to use rails unless they are necessary.

Pockets Pool n Pub-Tucson AZ Well, if you ever venture further west....Pockets has about 10 of the 9ft ProAms. We are very spoiled here with a flat day rate of $8 from 11AM to 6PM, every day. There are still 2 of the 9ft Brunswicks but I hear they will be getting replaced with Diamonds eventually.

I agree with the above and would add.... Be sure to have the cue ball far enough off the rail to have your hand on the bed of the table, about 6/7 inches. Breaking from the right side, use center ball with a touch of right English...maybe a 1/4 tip. Breaking from the left side, use a 1/4 tip of...
