Great example! Shane is a great example of what a pro pool player should be like. Not only has he proven to be one of the worlds best cueists, he has also displayed a professional approach to the business he is in. If the pro ranks were full of players like him, pool might eventually make it...

Well.... I am not a fan of having to be ahead by a large amount of games to win. One reason is I like to see a winner and I don't have time to sit and watch pool for hours, especially One Pocket as I prefer the pace of 9 and 10 Ball. I do like playing One Pocket, just slow for me to watch...

Code Duello Only one way to settle this. Resurrect "Code Duello", the 25 basic rules of dueling, as established by Irish gentlemen in 1777. The only thing they need to decide on is type of weapon. I originally thought the butt of a pool cue would suffice. I now think each man should...

Go big! I think it is a good idea to allow a minimum of 5' 6" on all 4 sides of the table.

Efren and.... As the "arps' said. About any match with Efren is good to watch. I also like watching Alex hand it to Frost!

Omg My daughter married a wonderful guy 20 years ago with Czec ancestry. I have spent many a night alone with him on moose and caribou hunts. I can't wait to ask him about old traditions! He will crack up. "Simply put, alcohol is the worst drug out there and readily available to almost...

Suck it up! The world is full of cranky old people who complain about every thing and I refuse to be one of them. I am 66 and retired 2 years ago. Life is good and I am having a ball. I play pool daily on my 9' Rebco table which was my retirement gift. I keep up on my shooting skills with...

What the heck? Are we really debating foot wear?

Good grief guys! Just when so many had him walking on water, is he is starting to sink?

Ya got me. I sure could not tell if he touched the 8 ball. Up to the ref.

Me too I use a 61" Diveney cue and have his 9" extension. I shoot better with it then I do with the bridge. Other then that I don't want it on my cue. Every one is different and Earl is really different, but he was also one of the worlds best 9 Ball players. I have no idea why some one...

Ya got me. He may be the only one who can answer that question. I think he will announce it if he does, but then again why bother, just stay home and go fishing and enjoy life. Top tier pool playing has to be a drain on the body, mentally, emotionally and physically draining. If he is I...

Thanks for reply! Thanks for the reply. I agree on the importance of the break. I also think for many players it is not as important as it is for the better players, as quite often many of the average 9 Ball players get more then one turn at the table and are not "run out" players. I have...

Is maple the best material for a break shaft? My jump cue shaft is made from purple heart and I was wondering how purple heart would work for a break shaft. I am having my Dymonwood shaft re-tapered and will try it for a month and if it does not work for me I will go back to maple unless...

Maybe... Hats off to Shaw for a 10 Ball repeat. Maybe Shane is just not in top form this time. I honestly don't know how he did so good for so many years in so many tournaments and Tar matches. Playing at that level and maintaining the competitive edge has to be a big brain drain after...

I like them About 5 years ago I had Meucci make me up a very plain sneaky with a 31" Black Dot shaft and it works very well and still rolls straight. The only problem I had was getting it as they stuck it in a corner and could not find it for awhile, according to them. I put a Talisman medium...

Me too... I feel your pain. A local dive has a Friday night bar box 9 Ball race to 3 tourney and the pool hall has a Sunday 8 Ball tourney that is on good 9" Brunswick's and it is also a race to 3. There is not much competition in this hick town, so I am giving them a break for awhile, so...

Asians I wish Chang and Wu and Big Ko were there.

Foul The guys I shoot with in the local dive on Friday night do that all the time. I tried to explain it to them and gave up. Cracks me up. I don't 3 foul them either in the little 9 Ball tourney. I did it a couple yeas ago and guy got pissed and left.

Big wow! My favorite to watch, 10 Ball on a 10' table. Where can I watch it? Shaw is on fire for sure.
