    Cue extensions

    Diveney maybe? Diveney Cues might do it, give them a call. He has made me a 4" oak extension that I play with on my cue all the time and a 2 piece 8" extension in case I need to reach way out there. They have Pats quick connect pin and joint and it screws in through the hole in the bumper on...

    Who makes best maple shafts?

    Diveney Pat Diveney makes the best maple shafts. His old Lake Salvage shafts and Kiel wood shafts are wonderful shafts, just ask Bergman. A whos who of top tier players used his shafts before they moved on to more lucrative offerings.

    Name a pool hall you wish was still open today

    All of them I wish none of them had closed. My hick Alaskan town no longer has one. There were 3 in the little hick farm town in Iowa I grew up in. When I was there in 2016 all had been closed for a long time. My wife and me took a 22 state drive around after I retired. The only 9 foot...

    Why do EU players throw cue away in celebration?

    Well A little trip down memory lane will show England was very good at war. Their SAS Teams are as good as it gets. Estimates are it took about 200 million lives to build the British Empire, the one the "sun never sets on". They were all about commerce and enriching the Crown, no matter who...

    Filler's Victory Celebration

    Not my style His style of celebrating is not for me, nor is many of the European players and audience at the Cup. But, pool is some what unique in that you can walk around slowly and be under a tremendous amount of pressure with no physical way of letting the stress out, as is possible in...

    I heard John Schmidt ran a 407 last week, then 434 just today. Any confirmation?

    Wowser! John is pocketing an impressive amount of balls. I couldn't set a 5 gallon bucket between my legs and drop 400 balls in it with out a miss.....

    conical taper for pool

    Me no like I got one some where I picked up a few years ago from the late "Fast Larry". Good enough shaft, I just never warmed up to it. Are any of the top tier pros using that taper?

    Music you listen to while playing pool

    Well, I'm old... No foul mouthed rap, hip hop or head banging crap, can't stand it. Other then that, depends on the mood I am in. I like ZZ Top, Santana, Credence, Waylon n Willie, Toby, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Reba, Shania, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Bob Seeger, Fleet Wood Mac, Meat Loaf...

    Congratulations to Joshua Filler for Winning the World 9-Ball Championship

    A real 9 baller! Filler makes 9 Ball look easy. About the only thing I don't care for is his theatrics after the game. But, I am old and he is not and he has good reason to celebrate a great achievement! Carlo also is a great Ball player. He just seemed to be frustrated and out of sorts...

    Matchroom, Rasson Tables, and US Open 9ball

    Which table? I would like to see an American made table for the U.S. Open. I also think big pockets and 9 Ball are easy for those top tier shooters. As far as watching on TV goes, who watches pool on TV? I would like to know what channel it is on.

    Favorite 2018 Mosconi Match

    I just watched Skyler whupping Shaw for the 3rd time and I will watch it again. As any one watching it knows, Shaw was doing his Shaw show for the rude Euro fans and Skyler humbly took care of business. Those last couple of shots of Skyler's were priceless, as was his Shaw imitation. Well...

    Jason Shaw, classless?

    Me thinks.... Pool and many other sports have one thing in common. If one is very good at their chosen sport, it almost makes no difference how they behave. They are just emotional and passionate and caught up in the heat of the moment and their fans forgive and over look their self serving...

    Just asked to have both my accounts deleted

    Our world It's the internet pard, it has changed the world forever and not all of the change is a good thing. It allows folks to be rude and to act in a cowardly way with little fear of accountability. It allows them to be instant experts on all types of subjects. It also reveals character...

    Do we brown-nose the Filipinos about some thing??

    Me too.... I did it when I was a 10 year old kid and others in my little towns 3 pool halls did it also. I have watched Shane do it and Bustamante and a couple others. There is an infatuation with Efren, Busty and a couple others by some. Heck, they earned it. My only complaint is the...

    What's wrong with our sport as I see it, and how to correct it.

    Wowser! I won $65.00 whopping dollars at the local dive in the weekly 8 Ball tournament last night. It was also our first snow fall/blizzard of the year. We risked our lives driving on icy roads to play pool and a couple may have received internal injuries to their liver after consuming so...

    What's wrong with our sport as I see it, and how to correct it.

    Well..... I like playing pool and I like watching top players battle with each other. Unless one plays pool and has a basic understanding of it, why would you watch it? I think to many pool players that like playing pool are spending to much time worrying about what is wrong with pool. If...
