    There is a great Renaissance of 1980's hobbies going on right now.

    This is true. In addition to a Brunswick GC III, I have one of these bad boys in the waiting room of our office suite. The patients & their family members love it. It has cut down on missed visits and appointment tardiness. Of course the staff are all behind in their paperwork like never...

    I have a lesson with Mike Sigel 21 January, 2019

    I had a lesson with Mike a couple of years ago and it was worth every penny. I live in CT and flew down to FL just for the lesson. Mike is every bit as good a teacher as he is/was a champion pool player. He is specific and articulate. He can diagnose what's holding you back in seconds. In...

    RIP Executive Billiards, White Plains, NY

    Central Ave? Yes, the rent on any suitable property from Yonkers to White Plains I can well imagine would be cost prohibitive...even with alcohol. Former Executive denizen "George The Greek" (RIP), opened a room on Central Avenue in White Plains...High Pockets I think it was called. It was...

    RIP Executive Billiards, White Plains, NY

    I was real sad to learn yesterday that Executive Billiards in White Plains NY has closed. I'm not sure exactly when they closed, but it looks like it was the late Fall of 2018. Their website states they're "moving" but I've heard nothing as to where. Finding affordable rent near White Plains...

    Coming Back From Carpel Tunnel Release Surgery

    Last Wednesday I had Carpel Tunnel Release Surgery on my left (dominant) hand. Four weeks earlier I had the surgery on my right hand. Boy, the things you take for granted, LOL! I've known since 2014 I needed the surgery, but I've put it off a bunch of times for one reason or another. My...

    Honor

    Dan, certainly there's always room for more honor and more honorable people in the world, and in our sport. That being said, you've made some broad sweeping generalizations which are tantamount to stereotyping the "newest ‘social media’ generation". Are you talking about Millennials...

    How often do you scuff your tip?

    How many games or playing time between working the tip? Once every other month. What triggers you to work on your tip? The appearance, not holding chalk. Tip pr!ck, abrasive rub, knurled steel? I like the "Last 4 Ever pool cue tip tool, dime shape" I just bought the Kamui Gator Grip tip tool...

    Just Ordered a New Cue!

    I always thought it would be super interesting if someone who knows the info built a "Family Tree" Diagram of the cue builders that came out of Dan Janes shop. I think the 2 most note worthy are Bill Stroud & Tim Scruggs. Then who came out of their shops, etc. I think there's an amazing...

    United Billiard Leagues - Mike Sigel and Peter Margo

    Hi Scott. It was 2 years ago in Orlando when he broke it all down for me. I honestly don't remember the details. I do remember at the time thinking it all made a great deal of sense and that none of it sounded like a pipe dream or like he was selling a "Mega-Memory" system (LOL).

    PFD Studios

    Holy $#!+, you don't see that kind of praise/endorsement every day. You know how many cue makers would kill for this? Wow! -Z-

    United Billiard Leagues - Mike Sigel and Peter Margo

    Mike explained the business model to me some time ago. While I didn't graduate from Wharton, the business model sounds pretty solid. Mike's buddy, Mr Trudeau is still a guest of the government at club fed,and I believe won't be out until 2024. I sort of feel this adds credibility to the...

    PFD Studios

    Paul & Ellen are great people and are world renowned for their uncompromising craftsmanship. Between the both of them they have way more brain cells and IQ points than any 2 people should have...and it shows not only in their work, but HOW they do their work. I would imagine very few cue...

    The Reality of Revo Shafts.

    I've heard the same from several people. I have it on good authority that the materials & build process of the Becue are far inferior to the Revo. This person tells me that some of the engineering folks at Revo predict a 2 year life of the Becue (max) at which point the shaft will begin to...

    Simonis Customer Service

    I was on the phone with "Felice" from customer service at Simonis this afternoon and I was beyond impressed at the level of customer service I received. She seemed genuinely interested in why I was calling. She listened intently, and she was very enthusiastic in sharing a variety of things...

    People leaving there tables when they move .

    When I was naive (OK, stupid) enough to think I'd sell my home A) in record time, and B) among multiple inquiries, I did offer to leave the table as an incentive if people paid the full ask. Yeah, no such luck. I could've included $10K in cash on the table and it wouldn't've made a bit of...

    The Reality of Revo Shafts.

    As Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right." Are you at all familiar with Plato's allegory of the Cave? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RWOpQXTltA
