A buddy of mine was cleaning out some stuff from his house and stumbled upon a stack of old National Billiard News papers from the 70s. I read through them and thought they were extremely cool. I was born in 83 and didn't start playing pool until about 95 so all of the stuff in these articles is...

I'm sure this is exactly the case, and it's why I roll my eyes every time I see someone spout the "There's corn hole/axe throwing on ESPN but not pool!!!! What the hell??" argument. Those things aren't on there because they are so popular and draw tons of spectators. They are on there because...

The premiere tournament event in pool is the US Open 9 Ball promoted by Matchroom. The fact that this is still technically the "world championship" doesn't mean anything to me.

There is a Joe Rogan podcast from a few years ago that features for TAR proprietor Justin Collett (sp?) known on here as JCIN. They obviously talked about pool and cues and quite a few other things. I think that was before Joe's podcast really took off into what it is now with millions of...

I didn't understand why this was a problem until I realized that because of the move away from the boat to a land based casino the rules changed for who is allowed in the venue. Apparently even the meeting spaces require you to be 21 according to the Indiana Gaming Commission. None of that is...

They aren't my cup of tea, but they're just pool balls folks. It's not the end of the world.

As an owner of multiple OB shafts and a jump cue I'm really glad to hear this news. I was worried that a once great company I had patronized and had great respect for was gone forever. I believe they will make a comeback and can earn our support again.

Guys the reason he looks familiar to all of you is because that dude literally looks like EVERY guy from the late 70s down to the shirt and the porn 'stache.

Also 2 other positives to mention. 1. I love it when streamers use Youtube as a platform. I can just pull the YT app up on my tv and watch without logging into facebook. Also it's easy to subscribe to their channel and get notifications when they go live. 2. I love the accurate stats on the...

This format is so Shane's element. Just like the TAR days. "If you're gonna come at the king you best not miss." Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

It really has been a pitiful display for what should be pool's premiere event. As others have stated it looks like they are playing in outerspace the room is so big, empty, and quiet. Nothing like what Matchroom used to produce or produced at the US Open. My favorite though is from a few years...

This is exactly why I almost never purchase a PPV from a new promoter. First time streams always always always have problems and issues. As much as I want to see the match it's not worth the hassle. With BigTruck and Pool Action TV I know exactly what I'm getting and it's worth every penny...

No doubt. He has stepped up his game in a big way. He seems to be a player that has taken the concept of training and treating it like a sport to heart much to his benefit.

Given how long the site has existed and some doozies of threads in the past I didn't really think it was possible to have a new "dumbest thread in the history of AZ" but here we are. 146 posts and still going. Amazing.

I've watched some of the recorded matches and the video quality is excellent. I also love YT as a streaming platform, but I cannot seem to find or watch any live matches. I must be tuning in at the wrong times. Were there only like 2 live streamed matches yesterday? I'm used to streams going...

I bought a Tony Ryan extension and while it was ok for function it had some clear drawbacks. 1. It was impossible to fit in any case that I owned due to it's size and shape. That meant if I wanted to take it with me I had to create some sort of workaround. 2. It's unusual appearance got lots...

My speed break shaft that I ordered on a Labor Day sale last year that I didn't get until almost December had the joint insert come loose in early January. I sat on it awhile because I knew they were going through some stuff, and I was nervous about sending anything back to them. I decided...

I'm not sure I've ever been that active, but I still at least log in and read the forum a couple times a week, and come back more often if there is something that I find particularly interesting.

Unfortunately there aren't that many good active pool twitter accounts @matchroompool is one @schmidt_600 (John Schmidt), @worldcupofpool, @worldpoolmasters,@usopen9ballpool, @rdhustler (a guy who posts about pool and his practice routines etc), @jaysonshaw88 (not active), @accustatspool...

It sounded like it was the record on Johann's tough potting drill. I think it's an informal record like the most he's ever seen anyone make on the drill not like an established record book type record. I don't know what the drill entails, but the facebook post said it's very challenging.
