    Went to a trick shot show with mike Massey and dr cue

    I do know they got compensated. Anytime one of us do a show we are paid. I actually was asked to be apart of this show but I am out of vacation time at work. lol. Glad you enjoyed some of legends of trickshots. The room sounds like a great place and I hope it does well.

    Went to a trick shot show with mike Massey and dr cue

    I had the honor to "Caddy" for Mike while he did finger pool at one of our world championships and it is definitely a sight. Crazy how he can do that. His very large hands probably helps with that.

    Went to a trick shot show with mike Massey and dr cue

    The Group putting on this event is called Gospel Trickshot Ministries, so its known that it will be religious themed. It's perfectly ok if that is not what you want to see and you have the choice to not watch.

    Cornhole gets great niche "sport" ratings on ESPN and now strives for entry into the Olympics games :(

    Our group did an online trickshot tournament with those of us that had tables at home and it got highlighted on a news station in Michigan. Why? Because someone took the time to get it set up. I know the WPBA did some playing the ghost events as well as the NAPA League having playing the...

    RIP Mike Medley

    Mike was a nice guy and started one of the best pool rooms around. He will be missed a lot.

    I'm searching for a "masse" cue. Do anyone of you know the best out there?

    Action cues actually sells a masse cue. Jacoby used to sell a masse shaft for the heavy hitter break butt. Abram Diaz out of San Diego specializes in making masse cues. You could find him on facebook. He made mine and its great. The Eric Yow Masse cue can be found on Ebay if I am not mistaken.

    McDermott Masters Trickshot Re-Creation video part 2

    Hello everyone. Part 2 of my video series dropped yesterday and wanted to share with everyone. In case people didn't see the first video, I am posting it here too. And for those that didn't see the first post, Tom Rossman posted a video of the 1982 McDermott Masters Trickshot tournament. I...

    Are you a Professional...

    I think both view points are valid. Both view points being 1) making all of not the majority of your income from pool competition and 2) playing at a pro speed. If I remember correctly, there was a time where Karen Corr was working at a bath and body works between long tournament stretches...

    WING SHOTS … Made Easy by Pool Physics

    The last show I saw him do was the main act of our show at our National Artistic Pool Championships and he pulled it out there. As Dave stated, Tom doesn't the exact same show. Its close however. But Tom does do the rolling combo quite often.

    WING SHOTS … Made Easy by Pool Physics

    Dr Cue does it all the time in his shows. He even does that shot behind the back. He has so many variations of wing shots its crazy.

    WING SHOTS … Made Easy by Pool Physics

    Great Video Dave. These are fun. These shots are still in our artistic pool tournaments with a little catch though. You have to hold the balls and release them like you showed at the beginning of the video. Also there is a piece of chalk on the foot spot. You have to cut the ball behind the...

    Another air travel/travel case question - please help

    I have flown with my cues on Spirit multiple times and haven't had an issue. I have a 4x8 soft case that I put inside my checked luggage. Maybe I am just lucky?

    Pool fads?

    I remember those commercials on ESPN during events. Allen Hopkins and Jeanette Lee were doing the commercial. It projected an image of a ghost ball on the felt for people to learn how to aim better. I think I only saw one in person.

    Why we can't have nice things

    My guess is these events with matchroom are live and not on a 7 second delay like "real" TV stations for live events.

    Why we can't have nice things

    I haven't researched it a lot so if I am wrong someone can correct me, but I think it is only the US players that get language warnings. I know people talk about "in the heat of battle" and such, but all the other players are in the same "heat of battle" and to my knowledge haven't had an issue...
