Is Mosconi cup a team or a collection of individuals who happen to be playing together event? Until that is defined the rest doesn't matter. On one hand it isn't football where some coaches put their 11 best players on the field. Successful football coaches strives for its best 11 that play as...

Congratulations for doing your part to promote pool. I don't know how to do it and respect those who can. Good luck in your endeavor Color me crazy, but unless the bar doesn't own the tables (in which case player's fees apply) I think they should open the tables for practice and play. The...

I remember when cues that had more than one joint were considered inferior cues. Now cues have different types of extensions.

Sounds a lot like this plan for golf http://thedanplan.com/

Very nice post

Define the lesser ranked player and that gives you the answer. A fair handicap system is supposed to give every player a chance to win without the handicaps many players wouldn't play and there goes your tournament. The most dangerous lesser ranked players IMO are the ones who ride the 9 every...

Stream is on now. It runs a little choppy

Thank you for all the replies.

To me everything boils down to taking the familiar (your table in the basement) and comparing it to the league tables. there might be many things to check, but most people can't always show up an hour ahead of time. Four basic things for you to note 1. Look at the pockets. How are they...

I moved to a new area that has three days of leagues, but no weekly tournaments. Funny enough the senior center is the only place that holds a weekly tournament, but its closed to senior club members only. Any ideas on how to generate interest for a small weekly or once a month tournament...

Why is an amateur player called a pool shark whether they play for money or not, but somebody who plays a musical instrument for personal amusement isn't automatically called a rock star? I get tired of answering questions from people who assume just because you play pool and run three or more...

On this subject. Where do you get a cue cap engraved? trophy shop?

Okay, okay might as well let everyone in on the secret since its to late for anyone to do anything about it. Trump and Clinton went partners and bought the rights to AZ billiards. The site was down for so long because it took that amount of time to install "top secret" mind altering technology...

I would like to see "no push" after the break, the break is a skill shot at the pro level. Nothing is going to fix the "racking wars" (the players today know to much) except using a neutral racker and the player has to accept the rack unless something crazy happens like a ball rolls off after...

How many racks have been marketed over the years as "the rack to end all racking problems"? Why the final matches during professional matches aren't racked by a neutral "racker" is beyond me. It degrades the promoter's product when the biggest conversation is about racking and little to...

Sounds like many good stories could be written about this person. On the other hand if he was that good a hustler we will never know. Its like criminals the really great ones we will never know who they are/were.

Thank you for providing the stream matches are great, stream is fine. I really wish they would commentate the matches.

First thank you to all the people who provide the streams some of them for little to no financial compensation. I love watching the matches. Second if you want to be respected like a professional you need to act like a professional. My biggest peeve isn't directed at streamers who stream...

Suggest for you to post your thread in the ask the instructor page a lot of good help comes from there. A true stop shot should be "sliding" as it contacts the object ball. A draw shot that runs out of backspin before it strikes the object ball is more of a "kill" shot than a stop shot. The...
