    One Pocket Tournament @ Red Shoes Billiards (Illinois) 8/16/2014

    I'm pretty sure the last one was the one where Ike Runnels won and Mike Eck got 2nd. I don't believe there's been another since that one.

    On The Road Again with Perfect Aim....

    Thanks for the kind words Gene! I really enjoyed my lesson and found it to be well worth the time, driving and money without a doubt! It was extremely enlightening for me to see that I was not right eye dominant like I thought, and what a difference it made right away when I switched to the...

    What's your go to?

    most recently it's been Landon Shuffet's drubbing of Earl, race to 13 on the 10 footer. the kid hits every ball smoothly and perfectly, almost never gets out of line, and never seems bothered by anything. his mechanics are so good it's unreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HYQjoHjwL4

    Which instructor do you recommend?

    Scott Lee no doubt. He can record your stroke, break it down for you and tailor his teaching towards your inconsistencies. Well worth it imo

    ACS nationals...who's going or has gone

    I'll be there for the first time this year. I've been to VNEA a couple times so I'm sure the downsizing will be a bit of a shock at first but hey, we're in Vegas and we're playing pool so who cares?! Plus I heard they have beer there, big fan. See you all there!

    Trip Report – 17th Annual Indiana State Pocket Billiards Championships

    It was an awesome event for sure! You guys had an excellent team and I don't mind saying we were knocked to the loser's side (team: Raise The Bet) by the eventual winners and a great group of classy guys. 7th-8th in a tough field wasn't too shabby in our book! I'm also glad that keeping up one...

    Looking to eat steak in Chicago

    The best steak around is a Rico Benes breaded steak sandwich! Lawrys and wildfire are both top notch if you prefer your steak without the marinara sauce and bun I guess.
