    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    I have seen videos of pros talking about the products and its obvious for some they don't know the product well. That is something that any pro that has a cue deal should be able to do.

    Why do pros rarely use the dart stroke for jump shots?

    I partially agree. I think if someone practices the dart technique a lot, they can get very accurate with it. I have made multiple balls using the dart technique. When I teach the dart technique, I have had many people say they prefer that way over pendulum and they aren't shorter people...

    Best in each discipline

    Hello everyone. A number of years ago I saw a graphic on here, that might have even been a t shirt, that had all the various disciplines of cue sports and the best in that discipline. How about we do the same with today's players? I have a list of cue disciplines and you put the player you...

    (Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

    Fargo isn't used at DCC or US Open because those tournaments are open to anyone and even. Play at your own peril. lol

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    Wish I could have tuned in. The question about Joey was not to prove my point. I really don't know if he gambles or not.

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    I think it depends on the player and the area they are at. I saw Verner playing for money at Derby so that seems a norm. When was the last time we saw Joey Tate gambling?

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    I think this is well said. I have seen some people say they only get into good games. That sounds like a hustler to me. Only playing when it's almost guaranteed to win. To me, that is a nit. I have posted before that I don't mind playing for money so I am not against it. Like what...

    Casino daily take during pool tourn.....??

    I remember it too. There was a big tree down on 111 that almost blocked the road to the casino. Crazy.

    SJM at the 2025 Derby City Classic

    If anyone wants to redo the math, which stu was close on his numbers, here are the player numbers. Banks- 476 One Pocket- 400 9 Ball- 500 One thing that people may not take into consideration is event expense. How much staff is working the event from tournament directors to people who watch...

    Non-Gambling Pool Players

    The only time I play for money is with my friends. We get together once or twice a month a my friends house that has a 7ft diamond in his basement and we play cheap ring games. If you "mop up" in the ring game, you might walk out with $50-$60 max. We do it just to have fun. Occasionally we...

    DerbyCity going to Nashville...???

    I agree with you that Derby isn't as broken as people thing. I will offer this though on the payouts. Anyone who makes round 5 gets paid. It would be interesting to see how many players out of the tournament that is. 40% of the field potentially is getting paid. That is a higher percentage...

    DerbyCity going to Nashville...???

    Never knew they did. I stand corrected.

    DerbyCity going to Nashville...???

    Depends on how high you raise the entry. All that "dead money" is needed and keeping the entry fee low ensures that happens. 500 players per event would require another day My guess the food court operation stuff is determined by the casino and not diamond. A mini every night would be a...
