Last year I went for the first time and bought general admission tickets. I saw the Banks final, and the 9 Ball final. I sat in the bleachers for each event. My advice would be, do not sit on same side as the TV equipment and the players. I sat at this location on one match, and the ref and...

I'll be going to the DCC. I went last year for the Banks final, and the 9 ball final. As a side note, can ANYONE pay the entry fee and get to play? It's not that I would make it past my first match, but, if I was to draw one of the HOF players, it could be worth it to me. Oh, and if I meet...

I have a Olhausen Grand Champion 3 pool table. The pockets/buckets on my table are plastic. Whenever you pocket a ball you get the plastic "clack" when a ball drops. I put 3 layers of felt in the bottom of the bucket, and I get a "thud" rather than a "clack", but it's still not what I want...

If I'm at a party playing pool, the reaction and approach are totally different. But if I play in league, or a tournament, then I play to win. I practice to become better at the game. If I play poorly, and I still win, then I'm happy. I always believe I can win the game. If I play well and...

One of the best events I watched, was the World Cup of Pool. In it, you had the good camera angles that taught viewers how the pro makes the shot. And you had some Good Announcers. If ESPN had shown it on air, then I think it would have improved interest. I also believe the live showing of...

If both are adults, then so be it. Regardless if a person has done well for themselves, or those that have not, to each his own. Betting is legal, and you see or hear from those that don't have a pot to wiz in, and they're at the casinos all the time. There are tables for all levels of risk...

I'd keep trying to go up in handicap rating. Keep your morals, and integrity. You'll sleep better at night.

One of the toughest shots for me is when the cue ball is up against the rail and the object ball is +1/2 table away. Are there any good lessons or drills out there that can help with this situation?:confused:

My table is in my garage, and I bought an electric heater. It cost me around $500 and had an electrician put in circuit to get it going. Go ahead and do it! JUST DO IT!!!!! My heater has a thermostat on the back of it, and a small dial. It keeps my garage nice and toasty during the winter...

I'd say, buy Dr Dave's DVD's. If that doesn't work, buy her favorite bottle of wine, and practice the "reach around" shot.

Last week while in Cincinnati I went to Michaels to play. A guy on the next table asked, "Want to play 9 ball for $5/game?" I said, "I might in a little bit." After watching him play, I decided not to play against him. I'm not too bad (APA 5 in 8 ball, and 7 in 9 ball). Plus, I have an 8'...

I'm also thinking, raw egg breakfast, sparring with butchered sides of beef, and chasing chickens in an alley.

I'm a month away from a tournament, and I want to prepare for it so I can feel ready. My thought was to work on cue ball control drills, breaking, cut shots, and league play to get me ready. I also have a few friends over to play games against them during the week to gauge my progress. How do...

It will be cold. The weather in Louisville, KY is usually "mild" compared to upper midwestern states. And the other thing to keep in mind, the casino is on a state highway, and will be plowed of any snow during any snow shower. You can fly into Indianapolis and drive (2 hours) or Louisville...

The facility has seating for spectators, and the table layout is great. I was there during a spring break in Destin. Went out first day to beach and sunburned my eye lids. I woke up next day, looked in the mirror, and said, "I'm not an animal. I'm a human being!" I looked like the Elephant...

This place is one of the nicest pool halls I've visited. It's a top shelf place.

Plastic cups don't get pulled out until work is done. Usually it is a glass pint filled with an IPA. Go USA!

Yep, I didn't take it down far enough. Glad to see these two playing, and winning!

I was looking at the brackets for the US Open and didn't see Van Boening or Strickland listed. Did these two not register to play in this event?

Very cool! I like it.
