    Do you agree with this statement?

    I disagree. Here is my reasoning... Most 9 footers I play on, or choose to play on, are pretty decent tables with minimal roll and good balls and cloth. Most barboxes (ok all) in this city are garbage with terrible everything. You have to start hitting hard punch strokes and forget about using...

    sudbury vs. north bay

    I am interested in hearing who would make those teams! I don't really know many from Sudbury. I am guessing the North Bay team would be, if they are still there, Lester M, Darren Corsten, Francis Johns, Bruce Hickey, and? Gotta admit, even without knowing the team from Sudbury this would be a...

    There is a rule regarding shooting forward of the kitchen requiring the sitting player to notify the shooter, however, it is with regards to a cb on or slightly over the line where the sitter feels that the shooter is not in the kitchen, but it is close. You never need to give a warning with...

    League ...... perfect night anyone?

    We have had a lot of guys finish the night "perfect" in wins, but we play a 10 game match format so to go without giving up a ball is almost impossible. Three weeks ago my personal best for the season was 10-0, 100 points for, I think 18 points against, 4 or 5 eros and a few 10-0, give or take...

    How Much Is good Break in 9-ball worth...a LOT

    Get Joe Tuckers "Racking Secrets". That new break will get deadly. No question. 9 ball isnt as much about your break as it is the rack. If you have both the knowledge (thanks Joe) and the technique you are using a recipe for success.

    What's your best Keith McCready story?

    My buddy matched up with Keith several years ago in Vegas on a bar table. My buddy won 13 games to Keiths 1 and that ended that. Later at the Splash bar Keith found my buddy and challenged him to a rematch and said he can believe he lost 13-1 to him, my buddy clamly replied, "yeah, I still don't...

    first cue for 2009 ebony and ivory

    I am not normally a fan of turquoise but the reserved use of it in this case really adds to the cue. Very nice.

    New local cue maker

    I received my new cue a few weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to take better pics. Sorry. My friend and I both bought these cues from a new local cue maker who has asked, for now, not to be named. These cues are amazing IMO. What say you AZB? For the record mine is the 8 pointer with ebony...

    I am always up for action. Contact either me or Snorks (he is on here more than I am). I am at Greenbank Broken Cue every Tuesday night (league) so you can find me there. Ask for Jason Munro. They will show you who I am. I play 8, 9, 10 ball.
