    Wu vs. Shane at the US Open

    Can't wait! Wu is a 9 Ball rack running machine. So is Shane and Shaw and Chang. If the sets were longer I think Chang would get my money. I just watched him on You Tube playing Dennis O. in a race to 21. Dennis finally got the lead and had him 18 to 15 when Dennis played a poor safety...

    Cloth and ball cleaning

    Try this I followed another AZ posters example and made a ball cleaner out of 2 orange 5 gallon buckets and a 29.00 buffer, all from Home Depot. A little Aramith Ball Cleaner or similar product works very well. I mean clean is clean right? Real King Cobra gave me some good cloth cleaning...

    The Sands Regency Tables In Reno

    Old Rebco I bought a early 80's Rebco when I retired in 2014 and I am pleased with it and how it plays. Reminds me of the pool tables I grew up on in the 50's. Some Aramith balls and 860 HR blue Simonis made it even better. My only complaint is the pockets will spit a ball out once in...

    Shafts

    So many shafts...... I grew up with "normal Maple shafts. So many shooters use a LD shaft though. I keep thinking about the not to distant past when great pool was shot by great players using "normal Maple" shafts. The list of those very good players is long. Now we have a new super duper...

    How do you Aim Off to compensate for sidespin

    Ya got me.......... I wish I knew, after all these years I sill miss shots because of it. I think Efren mastered it and inside English long ago and it forever gave him and advantage compared to most players. I wish he would teach it to me.

    Open Question: Does it matter to you if a manufacturer moves "US" product overseas?

    Yes I prefer to buy American, but don't always do it. The Russian chalk is an example.

    Gender test for any first place over $199......

    Really weird to me. I find it very strange that we even have a women's only any thing any more. Our society thinks it is ok to let any one walk into any bath room depending on who they feel like on a given day. We want to homogenize and make every one the same, yet diversity is the shout out...

    Earl On MC...Just A Hunch

    Not me I would rather see Johnny Archer in the Cup. He has a good history and does not act like a jerk if he gets beat.

    How many of you play multiple cues?

    I have 2. I have 2 Pat Diveney cues that I use and I shoot the same with either. I have 3 Diveney Lake Salvage shafts that fit either butt. If I go to a bar tournament I use the Diveney cocobolo Bar Hustler as I have less money in it then I do the Diveney Custom Ebony Hustler with some...

    I got called a chickensh!t by an older fellow

    Well.... Here is what I have observed in my pool life. Good players have a good all around pool game, which is a good offense and a good defense. Good players follow the rules and insist their opponents do also. Bar rules hinder a good player and promote dishonesty in the game. Most of the...

    Earl strickland stroke analysis

    I wish I had it. I wish I had a stroke like Earl. He makes moving the cue ball look easy. I also like his speed of play.

    What's the best method to clean pool balls by hand without designated ball cleaners?

    Make a ball cleaner There is a past thread on how to make a ball cleaner using 2 buckets and a buffer from Home Depot. It took me and my grandson about an hour to make it and it works great. I have less then 40 bucks in it. Any body can make one and get good results. I drop the balls in...

    What's the deal about people saying pool is dying?

    Grand reopening of The New Salt City Billiards.SVB vs Shaw livestream and tournaments

    Well, congrats, but darn... Congrats and much success in new hall and business! But dang, a race to 11 between those 2 sharp shooters? Way to short. How about races to 50, best 2 out of 3 with winner takes all on a tight pocket 10 footer and play winner breaks 10 Ball! Now were talking.

    What are your favorite tournament formats?

    9 & 10 Ball I like watching 9 &10 Ball matches on 9 &10 foot Diamond tables between top tier players that display good sportsmanship and professional behavior. I like a race to at least 11 games with a winner breaks format and a referee racking with a Delta Elite rack and the 9 racked on the...

    Mosconi Cup 2017

    Up against it. The U.S. team is up against it in the Cup. Europe has such a big talent pool to pick from compared to the U.S. One thing that would help is if the 9 was racked where it belongs. If not then team USA needs to spend lots of time practicing the break. As far as Shane goes, I...
