In Golf, you have the USGA as a governing body, the only one. In tennis, it's the USTA, the only one. (in reality golf has men's and women's, but all governed by the USGA, and the same with tennis) How many can you count in pool? And we expect to be organized as a body? I don't know it's the...

Having Jean play in men's events would have never saved the tour. You can attribute the demise of the tour to Don Mackay alone.

Scott, Glad your experience is good at Danny K's. We put Artemis rubber and Simonis on all the tables and it has really made a difference.

Jay, Thanks for the compliment. I work with players now and then, usually to give advice only when they need it. We have several players at Danny K's who have honed their games for years and are really competitive now, like Ramin Biakhtiari, Johnny Kang, Mike Laos and a few others. I believe...

I watched Jean play in a few matches in the early nineties in Reno. She did pick off a few men, but never finished all that high in any of the nine ball tourneys. Alison Fisher would have definitely given Jean a run for her money. It probably would have been close, with Jean winning more...

Bumping it once more before the 25th. Should be a great event!

That is this Saturday and Sunday....don't forget!

What everyone is saying is absolutely true, the only unfortunate thing in all this is the fact that pool is the only sport where this is commonplace. I just watched some of the British Open Golf, and you never see anyone overtly sharking someone else, even the crowd will wait until the shot is...

While I like the glove because it you don't feel the nicks in the shaft and for the lack of a need for powder, I also now realize that I don't like the feel of the Simonis cloth either.

Reminding all of this great opportunity. If you're in the Inland Empire or Orange County this should be a must.

I occasionally have a conflict in my pool room with the UFC. I check months ahead of time and make sure that no UFC is going on at the same time I schedule a tournament. Usually the UFC events are scheduled a few months ahead of time. Fast Eddies must have not done their homework on this one. n

Unfortunately, Earl's antics (I believe) have always been a way to get the edge on his opponents. I think he should have been disciplined years ago, but the tournament directors wanted him too much as a drawing card.

I know some of the best players have already qualified, like Jose Parica. Good opportunity to play in a major event!

Buddy himself believes Lassiter to be the best ever. After watching Buddy play so many times and his perfect cue ball control when he was playing well, I would still have to go with Buddy as being the best. The only x factor is the break. Buddy never had the best break. Strickland tortured his...

I personally believe that if most players had to choose a cube of chalk without the label that Triangle would win out because of its tendency to stay course and not become mushy in humid conditions. Master has become such a household name in pool rooms that players just accept it as being the...

Is Jeannette Lee starring in a movie? News to me.

Thanks, Jaden. The more the merrier. I'd like to get at least a dozen in both events.

I guess the topic is about pool dieing in popularity right now. When I ran a billiard supply from 1980 til about 1990 there was a seven year rule that proprietors use to follow, that it would peak every seven years. "The Color of Money" changed all that, and I think the billiard industry is...

Have you ever considered eye training? It takes a few minutes every day but really does work unless you have a bad astigamtism. It's all over the web. It won't get your eyes to 100 % but it could improve them enough for shooting pool.
