    BCAPL Nationals Moving To March!!!

    APA has been playing singles nationals in April for a long while now and they still have a good turnout. March/April has its advantages for some, disadvantages for others...but doesn't that also apply for the July dates? I wish them good fortune, hopefully they can get a different result than...

    State of the Philippene's

    although it is over a year old now, this is an excellent read. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/12/07/world/asia/rodrigo-duterte-philippines-drugs-killings.html

    Titlist cues worth the hype?

    I have a scruggs titlist that ive been considering selling to help defray the cost of a new 9ft diamond pro am. Its been my back up cue for 10 years in case my playing cue went missing. Its hard to let the scruggs go though because I really like the way it hits. So meanwhile the Diamond table...

    Mosconi 2017 - Updates

    congrats to team europe. They outplayed the USA and deserved to win. Hopefully the USA can get more competitive in the future. A non competitive MC is threatened with a loss of interest by the general population that are not pool nuts.

    Mosconi Cup is Becoming a Circus

    This was illuminating info. Thanks. This really puts a new light for me on all the excessive celebration. I was thinking it was poor sportsmanship by Filler and Shaw and Dennis but the rivalry and bad blood angle could be the way to build interest and viewership of the event.

    Oscar Dominguez in UK tabloids, not good.

    I remember when svb was quoted as saying he was going to horsefk his opponent in a gambling match. It was funny to me then and it is still now. Making offensive sexual jokes during competition is deeply ingrained in both amateur and pro level play. Just take a look at the banned team names for...

    Mosconi 2017 - Updates

    From now on, I am rooting against Filler in every match I ever see him play. In fact, if he loses, I would love nothing better than his opponent dance the macarena on the table and then start a friggin conga line celebrating the win.

    What will be the next area in pool where the bar gets raised?

    I think that banking will improve. Bank pool remains largely an american game and I have seen many international matches where you can tell many of the high level players in europe and asia still do not bank any where near as good as many of the USA players.

    Good hit or a bad hit?

    Bob thats what we thought during the game. We stopped, studied my iphone screen and my opponent, Jimmy Gestwicki, told me that it was clear I had not hit the one going in with the cueball and that we thought it was the cueball stunning forward after contact with the object ball then hitting the...

    Good hit or a bad hit?

    ok i deleted it because in discussing it with my opponent, we concluded the object ball thinned off the other ball before it went four rails to score. so yeah i figured it was a bad hit :o for those who were curious https://youtu.be/WIzOCO9JnJs?t=5869

    Best Area in Florida for Pool

    I do not recommend South Florida. I have a fairly long list of why I do not think it would be a good fit for you. First its significantly hotter in miami/ft lauderdale than in even tampa/orlando. Northern florida like Tally/Jax actually get winter where it gets cold. In Miami I think we might...

    I'm quitting APA😞..Lost the local APA Championship last night

    Ive played league off and on since 2010 and some of my most memorable matches were the ones where I beat a sandbagger in an important match. One time I was in cities playing a 5 that was clearly underrated. My team put me up first, in the blind, and the other team put him up, their best...

    Going to Cuba

    There are a number of good cuban players that have emigrated to South Florida. They definitely play pool down there in Cuba and recently too. One of them told me that before they came to Miami, they spent all day, every day gambling down there. The where, what for and when to go I do not know...

    Dennis Searing is making tips now

    It is true I dogged it off on the layered/ non layered thing. I was thinking about tip density as I typed the post when the real extra density was going on between my ears. Concerning the hardness ratings, I think you will really like what Dennis is planning to do here Joey. When I was at...
