Yeah that seems like too many games for as good as Morra plays.

Definitely. He was in big and entertaining action just not on streamed tables except for the Alex match. I watched some in person and he seems like a good natured dude who likes to play 1p for high stakes. And I'm a neophyte where one pocket is concerned, but I thought he made some pretty sporty...

The action did seem down this year, but it's not a trend. The last few years before this one have been busy in the upstairs rooms. Not sure the reason for the difference. Maybe folks were more apprehensive due to the perception of increased enforcement by the gaming commission, but in...

I was there and there was plenty going on...maybe not as busy as in some previous years, but certainly no lack of it. I think there's a general reluctance to talk as either not to knock, not to rock the boat with maybe some new gaming commission scrutiny, and general there is just a lot going...

He's here. Just not reffing these matches. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Plenty of it. Fwiw I thought the food options are pretty good. Actually way better than previous years. If you don't have the cash to eat at the steak house there is some tasty stuff that's reasonably priced for a place like this and you get big portions. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I think it's a different "The Rack" than the one from the the famous old stories.

I saw pictures that Upstate Al posted on facebook yesterday. Tournament room looks the same as past years. Can't wait to get down there.

Around here (central Indiana) Pioneer used to be that brand of chalk that the sporting goods stores would sell along with their other generic billiard equipment like the slip on and screw in tips. It is as horrible as you can imagine. I remember having a hard time even getting it to go on the...

Juszcyszyn-ar? Just kidding, Al.

I don't know what the final outcome here will be, but for what should be the sport's most prestigious title it was languishing in Qatar. Hopefully whomever takes it over will return it to the prominence in pool that it deserves.

SJM already mentioned it, but it's a personal highlight for me since I was there to see it in person, and that is JL Chang's play at the Bigfoot Challenge at Derby City. He seems like a robot sent from the future to dominate pool. To watch him do it against the best competition on the toughest...

Looks like those are the prices including 35 bucks for shipping.

That was pretty cool. Thank you for posting that. One thing the article didn't touch on, but I've gleaned from reading old source material is that Crane's longevity was pretty remarkable. He might have been second fiddle to Mosconi for a long time and maybe didn't have the firepower, but...

The only difference that I noticed between table sizes in regards to the break is more of a personal preference to me. When I'm breaking 8 ball or 10 ball on a 9ft table I often break from near the middle of the headstring with my hand on the table. When I break those games on a bar box I...

I spent some time reading this thread earlier today attempting to find out something interesting about the run or ancillary topics. I learned nothing and regretted every minute spent. I'm just posting this in case someone else comes here for the same reason.

This match is a good example of how the race to 100 format isn't necessarily spectator friendly. This match for all intents and purposes has been over since at least halfway through yesterday's play if not before then. Just based on what I like watching I prefer like long sets 2 out of 3 or...

74-62 Morra. Alex has had quite a few chances, but a lot of racks where he tried to run out and didn't get all the way out leaving hangers for Morra. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Yeah I know you guys are just messing around, but I wanted people to be able to see and read them so I'll try again when I'm on a laptop. I didn't know about the archive for gold members. Pretty cool. One thing you can clearly see is how dominant 14.1 was as the game of choice until the 80s...

No idea why those images posted that way. They all previewed correctly, but then tapatalk posted them upside down and sideways.
