    Congratulations to Monica Webb (USA)

    Yes , nice win for Monica . She always seemed to handle pressure well . Haven't seen the women play in a while , thought she was part owner in a pool room .

    Stories Of Players That Made Good $ W/O Pool

    Think Dick Lane was a real good 14.1 man at one time , and was a partner in the Click's franchise i think , he had an education also .Bob Vanover comes to mind. Since you mentioned CJ , i don't think he graduated from high school so his success in business is a pretty good achievement. Noticed...

    A blunt exchange of opinions on FB.

    I can't speak for Europe but the reason for the decline in pool in the U.S. is access to pool tables . Most teenagers do not have access to pool tables because pre-teens and teens aren't allowed in places where alcohol is served , and most bars have bar tables . A parent can accompany a child ...

    Any decent small tables out there?

    The only thing we can find is bar-style tables, and that's not what we're looking for. We would like a 1" slate table, preferably with pockets rather than a ball return mechanism, that doesn't look like we got it from the dive bar down the street. Any suggestions?? I believe Olhausen has drop...

    Does a good cue matter?

    I also believe taper and weight and balance can effect follow through and wrist snap. kd I agree with this , hard to find a house cue with forward balance , mostly butt heavy. Taper doesn't matter much to me since most house cues are 13mm , and i like that . Don't think it matters except for...

    SVB doesn't remove the magic rack

    Thx , i never noticed because i don't play it much , then it makes the game to predictable , in my opinion. If they allowed second ball break it would change that , don't like money ball in predictable location .

    SVB doesn't remove the magic rack

    Somebody posted a YouTube video of a match between Efren and Fong Pang Chau playing 10 ball using a template rack , don't know if it was Magic Rack brand . I watched about 5 or six racks with both breaking and the 10 ball moved very little or none and was still inside the template , doesn't...

    New Production Cue

    Like to see some domestic production cue makers offer some cues with metal butt caps , and please keep your logos off the shaft . Simple stains or paints without blues , green and red paints on your bottom end cues to discourage people from buying them.
