    TAR 35 and SVB vs The Lion 2008 DCC Now Available On Demand

    Justin, I hope the VOD works out for you in the long run. I came to watching TAR matches a little later than most. I think the first one I bought was Mika vs. SVB. I haven't ordered any of the VODs yet, but a part of that is because they have all been matches I've ordered live. As soon as...

    Borana Andoni, would you still like to play at the BCAPL Championships?

    Would be a fun match to sweat. Hope it goes off. Good luck to both ladies if it happens. Johnny

    Anyone ever used Practice Pro Pocket Reducers?

    I just picked up a set of these things. Figured for $40 I couldn't go wrong, since I'd have to spend about that much in gas to and from the nearest sub 4.5" pockets. I'm no world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but these things make it TOUGH to run balls. First day it probably took me...

    Cues with a similar hit to Sugartree

    Thanks to everyone who responded. Looks like I'll have a lot of cues to try to test hit out at BCA Nationals. And thanks to everyone who sent me PMs. I tried to respond to all of them. Johnny

    I have responded to all PMs. Thanks again. I've got a lot more makers to consider now than I did before. Johnny

    Cues with a similar hit to Sugartree

    I forgot to mention, I prefer wrapless cues, unless the wrap is sealed. I'm a bit of a head case from time to time, and the difference in texture will occasionally get in my head. Ralf- do you have pics, and how much are you looking for? You can PM me if you prefer. : Randy- I'll check out...

    Cues with a similar hit to Sugartree

    My budget is relatively flexible. I'd rather pay more for a cue that I really enjoy than get a great deal on a cue that I'm not crazy about. I have enough of those cues already. But since the question has been asked several times, I'd prefer to keep it under $2k. I like plain Jane cues. I can...

    Cues with a similar hit to Sugartree

    I bought a Sugartree new from Eric 3 or 4 years ago, and I fell in love with it. I like everything about it- the quality of the wood, the way it is balanced, the way it feels when I hold it, and the nice, solid feel when I hit a ball with it. It's been my main player ever since, and I don't...

    Pool hall near Irvine California

    Sorry Brock. Irvine is in central Orange County. It's a good 6-8 hour drive from San Jose and San Francisco. It's about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. And I have to agree with Mitch and Mike. Danny K's is about the only place around to reliably find any big table action around...

    Meucci

    I was never a huge fan of Meucci cues, but I have recently become a fan of Bob. My father lives in TN, and he knows how much I love pool. Awhile back he picked up a Meucci Original at a garage sale, and asked me if it was worth anything. He sent me pictures and it had a cracked butt cap. Told...

    APA National Team Tourmanent Who's goin?

    I'll be rattling pockets and testing rails for the 8-ball team tournament and for Masters. But mostly I'll be there to have fun. If anyone wants to hit some balls around and/or drink some whiskey pm me and we will see if we can set something up. Johnny

    SoCal Players..security video..cue case walking off

    Bill, I don't recognize the player, but I have posted the picture to my facebook. I know a lot of players in OC, so I'm hoping someone will recognize this guy. Has anyone shown the picture to the TD at Danny K's yet? If not, I can try to get it over to him to see if he recognizes the guy. Hope...

    Something occured to me that was funny re: my play and commentators

    Corey vs Dippy on TAR The closest I've ever seen to something like this was when TAR showed a one pocket match between Corey and Dippy. I think it was Beav, Nick Schulman and Johnny World doing the commentary. There may have been some adult beverages flowing for the last two of those guys. I...

    Samsara vs. Gulyassy J/Bs

    Gulyassy for sure I am also in the Gulyassy camp, although I am a big fan of the Samsara break tips. I have been using the Orange Crusher for over a year now, and I love it. I've also hit with the Anvil, and it hits and jumps as well as anything else I've ever used. The shaft freeze that Mike...
