Here's the good news. It's just like TV; if you don't like the channel you can change it. If everyone only like vanilla ice cream, it would be a bland world. And, for the record, everything is a popularity contest or you wouldn't be posting on this stuff. Brian in VA

Yep! Yep! Best line ever. Brian in VA

I can't believe I missed this since it's the day after my wife's! Happy Birthday Jennie! Hope this year is filled with all the stuff you love! Brian in VA

I didn't state it's the vibrations from WWII that caused it, it's the aging of the finish. The vibrations allegedly changing the tone of the instrument came about as the result of a study by a magazine. As far as attesting to the guitar I made, I was comparing professional recordings made, when...

For the record, I've played with Icon several times and he is absolutely respectful of his opponents. If you consider the wearing of ear phone / ear buds to be rude that is your problem, much like thinking that dressing like a slob shows disrespect. It is no one's problem but your own. If the...

Mine is 21 ozs, simply because I prefer a heavier cue on faster cloth. To some degree, I think this falls into the category of golf ideas. Most players prefer a heavier putter on fast greens. Brian in VA

Actually, a study was done a number of years ago by Acoustic Guitar magazine on the subject. At first it was thought that the tone changes due to the finish curing over the years. (Sorry I don't have anything to reference online, I haven't seen that mag in years.) I can attest that an acoustic...

In 1993 I was working for a regional retailer in the Greensboro NC area and we had a big, high traffic event that we were promoting. Since one of the vendors was a pool table/spa retailer, we got Earl Strickland to make an appearance at the show. Prior to the show, he did a meet and greet at a...

The way you've worded the question indicates that you believe the higher IQ would progress faster. I'm not so sure as I can argue for both sides of this. A person with a higher IQ, theoretically, would be able to understand that there are more ways to miss a ball and, as a result, might...

My bad. Yes Scott, in the corner. Doh!

FWIW, I was sitting first row ringside for all of Saturday's matches. Every time Shane was asked to re-rack, he did. Once Jay said it was a good rack, he headed back up and broke. Every time, he made the wing ball in the side and from my position, I could see it going dead center in the...

It was a dominating performance by Shane. His break was better than anyone else's and his shotmaking was top notch. He looked so comfortable at the table you just knew he was going to take this down. Well done, Shane! Brian in VA

I'm tweeting the hot seat match if you want to follow. Keller_B is my twitter name. Sitting ringside.

I was sitting ringside when Earl and Parica were playing in the winner's side. Jose got a bunch of good rolls and after about the 3rd one, Earl started coming unglued. He was down 6-0 and started muttering to himself about Jose being "destined to win this....I'm certainly not going to come out...

That is correct. Reserve seating is sold out. Tickets for each session are available.

I've been following Brandon for 5 or 6 years now. I think what I like most about him is that he is a total student of the game, looking to learn something from everyone and every match, in which he plays. He does a good bit of studying various subjects (history, theology, philosophy - no...

I just wear a shirt.

I'm a big fan of Simonis, love the way it plays and how long it lasts. I put it on my table at home because I wanted the best. I figured if I practiced enough, my game should be good enough to allow me to adjust when I went somewhere with different cloth. Since most of my playing / practice...

All, I started blogging a few months ago, on a variety of topics. In addition to pool, I also spend time cycling, playing golf, woodworking, and making music. The blog was created to allow me on more place to cut loose. (My wife calls it yelling at traffic. What can I say, she knows me.)...
