    reviews on the lucasi hybrid air hog?

    I own one and really like it. Very light, nice hard tip, nice rubberized grip. Comfortable and effortless to jump with.

    Bonus Ball

    Instead of playing in one venue in Vegas, why don't they do like every other sport and play a given match at the pool hall of the home team. This would draw the fans of the local teams. The Internet streaming seems to be the main focus of the current format. However, I think it would gain more...

    You have 1 hour in the pool room?

    I would work on long straight in's - corner to corner. Follow, stop shots, then draw shots. Works the fundamentals and insures a good straight stroke.

    Mike Dechaine - ? Loathed ? - Liscotti Memorial - SVB - Etc.

    Brian, Great post, thank you for the recap of the tournament. It was great to see you and I really enjoyed getting in a few practice games with you - and great advice on that kick shot you gave me ;) I also enjoyed watching a few of your matches - you were playing really well. While I wasn't...

    What is it that you enjoy the most in the game of pool?

    For me it's rare admittedly, but those times when you are in dead stroke - just a beautiful experience. You have perfect clarity & focus, you feel like you are gliding around the table, with a smooth as silk stroke, effortlessly pocketing balls and getting perfect position. there is no other...

    How to regain focus and concentration during a match?

    Time for the bathroom break! Wash your face, look in the mirror, couple deep breaths, put on your suit jacket, get all pink & powdered up, then "let's play some pool"!

I am in the market for a new case and i am very interested in the wagon case, but would really like to see it. Was wondering if...

    I need a new case. John has that wagon case for sale - man, it looks awesome! I'll have to check out his stuff at the expo. Hopefully the tax gods are good to me!

    How do you act, when you lose?

    I am an APA 6. I definately desire and always have intentions of taking the high road. I believe in good sportsmanship and try to carry myself as such. However, I am an emotional person, very competitive and I hold myself to a high standard when I play. I have no tolerance when I play below my...

    Aramith Ball Cleaning Machine

    About 2 years ago, I made the 5 gallon bucket polisher daimion referred to in his post and it works great! It has lasted the test of time and it really does a great job polishing the balls. I throw in about 5 balls at a time with some aramith ball cleaner and let it go for about 5 minutes...

    THIS is what pool needs more of

    Ok, after looking up charismatic in the dictionary, I have to concede that I may have gone a bit overboard classifying Earl as charismatic. However, he definately is entertaining, he draws crowds, excites the fans - and pool does need more of that. Perhaps I can refocus the question and ask -...

    THIS is what pool needs more of

    ChrisBanks, I really agree with you on this one! Pool could really benefit from charismatic players that draw the crowd in and generate excitement. Love them or hate them, doesn't matter! They get the fans engaged and excited. As professionals, I expect that they are highly skilled and that we...

    getting motivated

    You may want to take a break from pool for a while. If you force it, it will feel like work & that's no good. Remember why you play the game. It's for enjoyment. I might recommend reading the book "the pleasure of small motions". It may "remind you" as to why you truly, naturally enjoy the sport...

    sfleinen from AZ playing Jersey Joey at the SBE

    I know Sean personally and would be hard pressed to find someone who carries themselves with more integrity, who cares more about the sport and who is willing to share what he knows to help others. Sean is extremely knowledgable about the sport and he has shared his insights with me on many...
