did you kick the long ways going to the rail by the 8 and make the 7 in the corner top right hand corner? Maybe you managed an incredible jump shot where you somehow didn't go off the table? i personally like kicking from the right end rail to drive the 7 downtable by the 8. The 9 is a big ball...

I've never seen 75-0 but for sure it's been done many times over. The bottom 32 on the 9 board at nationals is stuffed with players who are capable of just such a score. Gabe Apollos is definitely one of those players, and he's one of the nicest guys you will ever play too. Best I ever did was...

ive had this fantasy many times. 200+million powerball signs still do it to me often. I use to think that Id want to run a 20k added tourny 1x a month with 100k added finale. Move the event around the country and visit different areas each month. Watching the Xtremepoolchallenge.com guys work...

Its interesting how most of the league operators hand over specific amounts of money to the teams. Is it within the teams right to pocket the $ and not go? In South Florida the two league operators (one is Gene who already posted in this thread) both dont tell the teams what the cost is, they...

Alot depends on what game the player in question mainly plays. 14.1 is not played alot down in South Florida and even then its mostly played by older players. That said, if a player is considered an A player at 14.1 I personally think he should have a high run of at least 70-80 balls. A solid AA...

i took a self portrait. thats me after i dogged it off again, leaving the pool room but happy to be going home.

imo it depends on the table. I play league on the same table when at home and this particular table pockets balls 2nd ball break more consistently than head on. I also agree that 2nd ball break gets the 8ball moving much more consistently than head on. This weekend I played in vegas and gabe...

Can you please explain more what you mean by acceleration and how that relates to missing shots?

Awesome! I'd like to put in an order for some other products as well. Ill pm you now

I'm ready to play the game!

Ive owned over a dozen southwests in my lifetime. The Southwests ive owned have all hit quite well, and some were really tremendous. The one consistent thing about all of them though was that I sold each cue for more than I bought them for. For any cue collector, that one consistent factor of...

What a great tournament. The no conflict rules are very intriguing and I think a positive step for a tournament format. Best wishes on filling the field with 32 champions.

The other half of the "Miami Vice" pro players. Tommy Brown @ the Sands Reno circa early 1990s. Many here would not know Tommy. He passed away 5 years ago in his late 40s from cancer. He had a glass eye for pretty much his entire adult life, from the same illness that eventually took his life...

John Ditoro and Jose Parica @ Bird Bowl in Miami mid 1980s.

Tony Watson 1992 Willards 8 and 9ball open, Pheasants Run Resort near chicago. Shot by me with a kodak disposable camera and image retouched a few years ago by Cryden. Mike Gullasy or Buddy in the background.

I just read that the OP jumped the ball. I had not considered that option. I guess you were not playing with a heavier bar table coin op ball. If the cueball was just a regular measles or even better the red circle then yeah definitely the jump was a good option. congrats on coming with the...

The roll up under the two doesnt look like its sitting right. Lots of bad things that could happen too. You could mishit it and the cueball doesnt nudge the 2 on the way in and you bounce off the rail and hit the 2 and then dont get a rail. You hit the 2 too thick and you dont get under it. You...

At least he didn't list the photo as "used".

This is the first ive seen of a 1099 for the larger events. I wonder how that will work out with all the players who get staked.

ill play devils advocate and tell you that if your team does not have underrated players they are uncompetitive at nationals. that said, I have for a long time believed that had I joined league when i was 18yo I would play at least 2-3 balls below what I play at now. League seems to encourage...
