    Imagine the world's best/most powerful breaker on an endless pool table... how long does the cue ball travel?

    If a cue ball flys off the table and hits a hardwood floor but no ones around, does it make a sound?

    Imagine the world's best/most powerful breaker on an endless pool table... how long does the cue ball travel?

    After you get through playing with yourself there’s not a lot to think about is there?

    Quick quiz by Sharivari

    Just think about how the rail is going to react to a shot with more speed. It’s going to compress more towards the direction the ball comes into the rail. It’s not complicated physics. It just takes some visualization on the fact the rail is going to compress differently depending on the amount...

    Break Cue Features and Justification

    Here’s my break cue. A Dufferin ‘High Run’ I bought for less than $50 and wrapped myself with brown paracord.

    Aiming Based On CB Deflection

    If you play enough one pocket you pick up a lot of knowledge regarding kicks and banks. Something you don’t learn with rotation or even straight pool. You just see things differently.

    Going to a 7’ Table to Get Your Stroke / Confidence Back?

    It’s in your head. Work on your thought process and visualization. Study the ‘quiet eye’ as it applies to pool as well as the method of the ‘think box’ and ‘play box’. Those are concepts that I apply in golf but can also be applied in pool.

    A few DCC pics

    Not impressed with the spectator seating. Cheesy.

    SJM at the 2023 Derby City Catastrophe

    Thanks. I don’t think I picked up on one positive review. People should be discouraged from participating and attending to have the venue moved to a better location. Another example of why the sport suffers from a bigger audience and television coverage.

    Touching the cloth with hands or cue?

    I see a lot of players on live streams and videos touching the cloth with their hands or cue. Their either picking at particals or lining up a shot or position for their next shot. Here’s my problem with that. You shouldn’t be allowed to touch the cloth for any reason. Particularly in a...

    Gabby from Houston.......

    I often saw him at a room on Westheimer in Houston. Cornbreads. I was watching the 6:00 P.M. news and saw him for the wrong reasons. Sherri was hanging out at Bogies while he was a guest of the state. She was as tough as nails.

    Will cues warp leaving them upright and not breaking them down.

    So there’s hope. Stay in the closet long enough and come out straight. I’ll have to suggest that to my brother-in-law.

    Will cues warp leaving them upright and not breaking them down.

    If you take a one piece and convert it to a two piece do you refer to it as a “tranny”? What pronouns do you use when referring to it?

    Hardships of Professional Pool as a Career

    In a few short words…It needs to clean its act up and stop looking like a crap game in a back alley.

    One Piece Cue

    In 1968 I ran into a player who told me that if I couldn’t take a cue off the wall and beat everyone in the house then don’t even bother.

    Pool Movies--let's get some ratings

    You hit the nail on the head. The cast of Newman, Laurie, Scott and Gleason are insurmountable. You just failed to mention that in The Color Of Money Tom Cruise was and continues to be an a$$clown. Risky Business was his claim to fame. Newman propped him up in The Color Of Money. Hoffman kept...

    One Piece Cue

    On a whim I bought a house cue (20oz). I have a collection of two piece cues but wanted to splurge (less than $50) on a house cue. I’m not sure I’m going to use it as a playing cue or a break cue. I don’t have a break cue and usually pull a house cue off the wall as a break cue. I’m going to...
