tunica diisappointment, format, complaint re Alvin I sportsfans, I certainly appreciate the stream and youtube posts by inside pool. too bad there was not more 14.1 to cover in tunica. re the format, i would prefer see more real games with a lag, safeties and strategy as opposed to the ball...

beads vs paper one + for beads is that you can look at any time without being obvious. if you had to walk over to the counter, clipboard, iphone or whatever, you might give your opponent the idea you are checking up on him. the big, easy to see flip over numbers used in some tournaments sound...

score sheet, beads, counter, app i have not used app so i have no opinion. i find the beads to be a lot less objectionable than the counters. but i see major shortcomings on both. so i have taken time to design a scoresheet that fits on an 8/5x11 sheet on a clipboard. it will be no harder to...

meanings of the term "drop pockets" When I first moved to the big city of Nashville in 1962, I saw my first 9’ pool table. In a PR called 20 century there were about a dozen 9’ tables. All but 2 were amazingly easy. The players used the normal tables and the college crowd was steered to the...

backhand pivot do not knock the pivot system just because it is impossible to explain or understand . also do not discount backhand english. I shoot with (as well as well as speak in) backhand English and my high run is over 8 points! jr

9.1 on a 7 footer lately i have been stuck waiting for friends in a joint with only a 7' and i tried some 14.1 there. after watching lots of Sigel videos i am trying to learn below the stack breakouts. back row was WAY too close to the foot rail, just no room to work down there. i think...

scheduling: tunica & queens i wonder if there will be lots of top players in Tunica MS. That tourney ends 7/28, but it has no scheduled 14.1 matches that i can find out about. maybe the top pros wont even be in MS. Seems like some top players would like to play both. but seems like unfortunate...

one inning for 526 i guess the record shows Mosconi made the 526 on his first shot after the break. so one inning on that day. Mosconi was, as we all know on exhibition tours, perhaps from end of WWII for many years going forward . he played Nashville in 1962 and again around 1964. the '62...

a modest proposal to reach the magic number Establish a long running, low intensity, low budget, hopefully profitable event along these lines: Set up a loose pocket 4x8, about the same difficulty as the Mosconi 526 record table, with continuous video recording. Open to all with some entry...

lack of announced 14.1 schedule in tunica = I stay home Since it looks like it is impossible to know in advance when (or even if) some pro level 14.1 might occur in Tunica, I will be staying home. I can not justify 10 days of waiting around for a maybe situation. If the promoters would set...

schedule for 14.1 in Tunica????????? Does anyone know the schedule for 14.1 in Tunica? (assuming that there is one) It is a 4 hour drive from Nashville and i would not want to go there and just get to see 9-ball, since there is great pro 9-ball action locally at least once a year. thanks, jerry

eufemia's pace i never had the pleasure of seeing eufemia play, but i heard he played slow. someone who actually saw him please comment.

size of balls in US all i have seen here in the south is 2 &1/8 interesting since i have seen corner pockets as small as 2.75",,,,,,,, very difficult to run a ball down the rail into the pocket... must be hit perfect and enter the pocket very slow. quite a few old 9 foot snookers around the...

i'm confused. looking at www.southernclassictournament.com there is no mention of 14.1. and is this an all amateur event or both pro and amateur concurrently? smoking venue? on the floorplan the are 4 5x10, 12 4.5x9 and about 90 smaller (7 or 8?) will the 5x10s be used in a structured event...

wondering about the renewed interest in 5x10 i am hoping that the use of the newly re introduced 5x10 does not hurt the turnout for the tunica event, both in terms of spectators & players. i heard that svb & Earl played a big match on a 5x10 but other than that i do not hear much about...

caras 5x10 run,,,,,tunice 14.1 i was lucky to see a caras exhibition at u of miami fl in about 1969. he ran 100+ wearing pretty thick glasses. he said at that time that he still held the hirun on 5x10 300&something as best i remember. does anyone know what spectator seating will be like for...

no chalk on rails been watching snooker on youtube for months and have yet to see any chalk on the rails. i think that practice should be followed in the US pool scene.

9-ball break cb bounce to center Back in th 80s I watched some champions breaking 9-ball. I remember UJ Pucket consistently leftthe cueball the dead center of the table. It would come back fast off the 1-ball and stop suddenly as if it had brakes. My question is whether this was a result of...

enjoying youtube 14.1 postings Watched what is available on youtube of 2011 world 14.1 tournament.. Very happy to see this nice batch of recent 14.1 posted. Commentary by Calvert & Wilke on the Archer/Lynch match was to my liking. Some commentary on a few other matches really got off the...
