    Any Pit Action at SBE

    They announced the first day that due to multiple events being run at different locations around the USA, SBX was unable to secure all the 7ft tables they wanted so they cut down the tables dedicated for the action room from 16 to 7. The 7 remaining tables were always in use and there were some...

    Play Great Pool by Mark Wilson

    thanks for the review. I bought the book today directly because of this review. I never knew this book was even out there despite it being published almost 5 years ago and likely would not have known had I not read AZ today.

    Mosconi Cup: Nine-Ball, Big Pockets, Short Races

    This is exciting pool. Real drama that is easily understood by complete pool newbies. People who dont play pool would never be able to tell the difference between the event on 4.25 inch diamonds or the bucket rassons being used. All they know is that the player missed (boring) or played safe...

    CJ Wiley vs Dennis Orcollo

    26 years ago I watched CJ get beat by Bustamente at the Pheasant Run Resort outside of Chicago. This was back when he was in his prime and Bustamente gave him a spot back then. It was I think the call 8. I kept a journal of the trip and I still have that journal so I can look at it again to...

    Vivian Villarreal got them again

    what a fiasco. Its so unbelievable that an event with $100k added is cancelled when its this close. This is like the five stages of grief only the pool tournament edition. My first reaction was denial and I assumed this was a bad joke. Then I was angry that this had happened. Then i'm reading...

    What Youngsters Want Old Masters Cues?

    This thread also made me think about the hit of my Gus.Hit is a subjective thing and its inevitable that in the discussion of hit of the old masters cues there will always be raised the very valid point that the name of the cue and the awe it inspires can influence perception. I really do...

    What Youngsters Want Old Masters Cues?

    I dont see why "youngsters" would want old masters cues, unless they are well off and collect cues, which is a very small subset of the population, let alone the population that actually plays pool. Ive played with a Gus for 20 years and in that time many players have asked me about the cue...

    Shane from 2000-2007/2008

    Shane won. It took a while but he won. The old executive west was much more intimate but also much more dangerous as they did not have anywhere near the security that the Horseshoe has. I do remember fondly the EW but since I myself narrowly avoided getting robbed at 6am going to my room, I do...

    Shane from 2000-2007/2008

    He played Appleton a huge ahead set of bartable 8ball at derby right around 2007/8. If you search hard enough on Az you will find the action threads from derby around then and people took photos of the money stacked up on the light. They were betting pretty high, I dont remember the number but...

    How to shoot ball on rail

    I agree with the principle that you need to visualize the shot with no rail, as if its just another cut shot. Once you get to that point, you also need to focus on learning to shoot the shot with all different types of english, be it draw or follow, inside or outside. Of all these variations, I...

    Johnnyt RIP

    JohnnyT was one of the more interesting posters on AZ. I enjoyed his posts, especially his old school perspectives on gambling, matching up and bar box pool. Being from Florida I always half expected to meet him in Florida, maybe at strokers in Tampa or even the flamingo in st Pete. I always...

    Different Practice technique: Repeated ghost layout

    You play position to shoot the 7 in the corner. Maybe the camera angle is deceptive, but it looks like you could be playing it into the side. you have more margin of error for position playing it in the side and its an easier shot to get position on the 8 instead of the way you punch the 7 into...

    2nd ball break

    The pros are also playing pristine conditions with new cloth, new balls and play at a much higher level than the shortstops and amateurs in terms of squarely striking the head ball. With those factors, its no surprise 70% of the time they break head on. To me the 8ball smash break is alot like a...

    It isnt necessarily an invalid argument.

    2nd ball break

    One of the reasons I like using the 2nd ball break during league play is that for weekly league play, asking them to rerack until the head ball is froze is a PITA. Besides, a loose rack with the head ball not froze often gives me a better look at the second ball :D The head on break has a...
