    Jesse james one handed player

    I remember when I first watched Jesse's videos, I was so impressed I called in my children and my wife to watch them with me and none of them really play pool at all. All them were like wtf? omg! Watching them again, im still impressed. I dont care if he edited them and took 1000 tries to get...

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    Every non pool player I know thinks pool is a game with degenerates in smokey pool rooms filled with drugs, gambling and potential danger. When they find out I play pool seriously they always say things like "Oh so your a hustler?" "I know not to play you for money now <wink wink>". Of course...

    Where in the hell do pool players disappear to??

    There is no telling where alot of these great players disappear to. One thing I can say for sure is that if they are alive, they will always be back at some point. You reach a certain level of proficiency in pool and its just about impossible to stop cold turkey and never again start back up.

    R.I.P Ritchie Idrovo

    I know people have very strong feelings about gun rights. Im just not one of them and I believe access to guns is as much of a problem as mental illness not being treated. I knew that when I posted what I did there would be pushback by people who feel guns rights are special and guns are not the...

    R.I.P Ritchie Idrovo

    I wonder if he would have done this if he had no access to guns. I guess it's irrelevant since that issue is dead. If we can't get gun control after a few dozen 6 year old are murdered in sandy hook, another Chicago murder suicide won't even be a blip on the radar for the NRA. I didn't know...

    ob jump cue?

    Ok if you feel this way, why dont you create your own drama thread and raise this issue. The way you are going about this really is not doing Tiger any good. Just like the previous poster, my first thought was man is this guy a Tiger Rep? Bc if so hes doing a terrible job! <------pinhead is...

    What's the shot?

    It doesnt look like its laying right for a cross corner. Its a little over 2 diamonds cueball to the 8 and almost four diamonds 8ball to cross corner. You will have to do something here with that shot to make up the two+ diamonds bc the 8 will play short on the bank as well as it will stun short...

    ob jump cue?

    You are losing credibility rapidly here. Why disparage anyone here, especially when the comment makes you look stupid for not knowing what Westgate he is talking about? Incidentally too, its a bit rude to come into a thread specifically asking about the OB product and plug like this. If you want...

    Why do I hate league pool so much?

    The higher level league tournaments are what keep me playing. Definitely the weekly league play sucks ass. No way around it though, if you want to compete at cities, regionals and nationals you have to be somewhat involved in the weekly league. This is all for APA of course, ive never played BCA...

    Ki-Tech tips...(Outsville) Opinions?

    I really like the Ki-techs. I played with Le Pros for a a long time, then Kamui for years. The Kamuis started glazing too much and miscues followed. I started losing confidence in my ability to dig down low so I started looking around for options and at that time got ahold of a Ki-tech soft. I...

    "Bushwacker" vs. McCready

    Bushwhacker had quite the reputation as a killer in the late80s/early 90s. I was living in gaineville, going to school and playing pool to make lunch money. There was a local there named Bob who was a pretty good player, but was more of a lamb killer than one to fight it out with road dogs. So...

    Poolhalls in St. Petersburg, FL

    The Flamingo is a small bar with a few bartables and a nine foot gold crown by the entrance. The owner Dale is known to stake players against people who come in there to play. In St Pete that place has had more high stakes action than anywhere else if you exclude the times this one local guy...
