    Fargo Caps = The dumbing down of pool

    Where do I get this data? From being in the pool scene for like 20 years plus. Each area may be different, but in the many areas I frequent, this is the case. I don't know have many times I have seen a friend complain that they can't play in the 550 and under Fargo tournament while they have...

    Fargo Caps = The dumbing down of pool

    I find that a number of people who complain about Fargo Capped tournaments are the ones that want to rob it. They have no problem "playing down" to rob a tournament, but won't "play up" because they aren't guaranteed to make any money and will probably get their head kicked in. But capping a...

    Pool jersey's, love 'em or hate 'em..??

    I don't mind the jerseys. Players in other pro sports wear jerseys. I think it is great for the amateur level too. I love going to state and national tournaments and seeing teams in jerseys. They have fun with in and helps them feel like they belong to a team. I have been a part of softball...

    Revitalization of my College Game Room Pool Tables

    Thanks. What year did you graduate? Then you must have played on the tables before. So you understand how they were before.

    Who will be at WPBA Tournament at Railyard in Louisville, Ky Oct 10 - 13 2024??

    I would throw Ashley Benoit in that mix as well. She is coming on pretty strong so I expect her to finish fairly high.

    Revitalization of my College Game Room Pool Tables

    Hello everyone. Here is a video of the project I did this summer to revitalize the game room at my college. The tables and cues were terrible so I used my connections to hook up the billiards club. Check out the video and feel free to comment.

    Who will be at WPBA Tournament at Railyard in Louisville, Ky Oct 10 - 13 2024??

    there is a player list on the WPBA's facebook page. Allison will be there, both Kristina's, Margaret. I will be there supporting them and doing some commentary. Maybe even do a trickshot exhibition if they ask me. Should be a good time.

    Filler withdrawn from Reyes cup

    Pro Pool Players are not employees just like Pro Golfers are not employees of the PGA. They play on the PGA tour but are not employed by the PGA. Singles sport athletes/players only get paid when they finish high enough in tournaments to cash and whatever endorsement deals they get. Its not...

    Politics in a billiards forum?

    I voted in the poll and here is my 2 cents. If it is pool politics, or an issue that effects pool rooms, then I feel it should be allowed in the main forum. If it is just the normal politics, then no. That is what the NPR forums are for. Non Pool Related. I mean its pretty simple and...

    What would you have done?

    I know right? Everyone that says "it's clearly a foul" or "I would call a foul all day" apparently didn't read that rule. The rule says its not a foul.

    What would you have done?

    Thank you for posting the rule. It is obviously not a foul but I would definitely remind the player to never do it again and I would be vigilant when seeing someone put the bottom section of the jump/break cue in the pocket.

    I guess the new CueTec is more than just a CF butt...

    Interesting they are doing a variable balance system. McDermott has had that for 5 years or so. Would love to see a full "how to" video on the cuetec eventually.

    Usually my Superman Trickshots Jersey and Kaki shorts if it is the summer and either jeans or kaki/dress pants in the winter.

    Break / Jump Cue Differences?

    A lot are like that but there are a few out there that do both well.

    Break / Jump Cue Differences?

    If you have good jump fundamentals, then you can jump with pretty much anything. Where you will notice a difference between the jump/break cues is how they are weighted. Most of them will be good for a pendulum (under the shoulder) jump shot. Some maybe not be the best to dart with however...

    McDermott D15 butt and new shaft balance question

    This option has been around for a some years now. If you like cue that does not have this technology in it, it can be made that way. https://www.mcdermottcue.com/mcdermott-h-series-pool-cues.php
