    Tip work in Indy area

    I used to get mine done at Steepleton's at 56th and Keystone, but I think they have since closed their retail shop. I think they might still do re-tipping, but you might have to call to see if they are available. I'd like to know as well. Also, Jim Sickles does great cue work, but he lives...

    On the Subject of Bangers.....

    I like all kinds of bangers and they can come from different genres. Old Town Road by Lil Nas X. Definitely a banger, but so is Sweet Caroline. You just never know what's gonna move the crowd.

    Does pool need or want Hypebeasts?

    I had no idea what Supreme is and I'm only 35 which probably makes me a youngster around here. Anything like this is good for pool. Pool desperately needs a younger demographic. And to the person who said a lot of old school activities are coming back like board games, ping pong, and bowling...

    John Schmidt Watch - May 2019

    Thanks for the heads up. I knew about the run, but not where to find the videos. I just subscribed to his channel. I recommend you all do the same.

    Any more bar tables with big cue balls?

    Around here (central Indiana) I don't see very many big cue balls, but the heavy or mud ball is prevalent. All the league players have their own green or purple Aramith balls that they carry with them to swap out with the heavy cue balls at the bars.

    Billiards Digest - Greatest Player Poll (Per Disclipline)

    That was about 5 years before I started playing the game, but based on my knowledge and things I've read and watched that seems about right for that year. It's an interesting snap shot of the time, and illustrates Efren's being on the come-up to GOAT status, and right before the explosion of an...

    Table markings for drill shots

    Try the Billiard University drills from Dr. Dave. It is a test, but all of the drills can be done individually and work on different facets of your game. I think the website is billiarduniversity.org Also just use the donuts to set up shots you are having problems with. That's really the...

    16 Men Left Standing at the Open

    They are saying on the stream that the Kos and CJL went to the same school in Taiwan and played pool with a school sponsored program. That kind of formal training and competition growing up is incredible and a good reason why they're on top...among other things. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    They were on a break. Been back live now since a little before 10. The stream quality is incredible.

    US Open stream...............

    Yep and it's worth noting that DAZN is not some fly by night operation. They have content not only from boxing, world snooker, and matchroom pool, but also Bellator MMA, and MLB. I'm quite pleased with signing up, and I think it's a good call by Matchroom to get on board with DAZN as an up and...

    US Open stream...............

    And if you have a smart tv the DAZN app is likely available to download to your tv for free from your app store. You can subscribe through the app. I'm watching the World Snooker Championship on it right now.

    16 Men Left Standing at the Open

    I'm genuinely excited for this. I even bought a monthly subscription to DAZN so I can watch. The app for it was already on my smart tv and I had no idea. A lot of other cool content on there as well like snooker and Bellator MMA. Not sure I'll keep my subscription more than one month, but if...

    The break in the US Open

    I dig the rules. The break rules are not overly complicated, winner break is my favorite, the breaks are being hit hard, there is randomness to them, and a ball is not gauranteed. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    My slow as hell Uverse internet just isn't up to snuff for this stream I guess. Literally buffering more than it's playing. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    The Color of Money (film 1986)

    One of the most underrated scenes in The Hustler that shows what a BAMF Bert is is the scene when Fast Eddie and Fats are playing their first match. Eddie is down on a shot and he's struggling. He looks up at Bert and the exchange goes like this. Eddie: Hey mister! Bert: Yeah Eddie: Would you...

    Those who tried Jacoby & Meucci CF at Derby.....

    Literally I assume it means that the shafts have a seam running down a side of it where the carbon fiber was joined together to form the cylinder shape of the shaft. My question is what it means in terms of construction and performance. It's implied by the OP that this "seam" would indicate an...
