I was waiting for my break on my table, and my opponent put the rack in place and walked away from the foot of the table. I guess around 20 seconds or so had passed, and as I set up for the break, the head ball rolled forward noticeably. Usually if it occurs, it happens immediately, so we...

On some longer layoffs on air travel I've gone on-line in the airport to find a local pool hall, and got in a cab to shoot a couple of hours with a house cue. Made the next flight almost always!

I agree figuring out the break will be key. Too bad Corey isn't on the team or advising. Team USA had several close calls where the 9 almost went in the side pocket on the break.

I don't think it has a thing to do with 'team effort.' Basically, the rack with the 9 on the spot and breaking from the box makes it a) impossible to make the 1 in the side, or b) the wing ball in the foot corner pocket. The US team thought their many great breakers could dominate on that...

As an exercise, a friend suggested placing a dime where you thought the cue ball line after object ball contact would pass. Success was when the cue ball hit any part of the dime on its roll. Surprising how far off I was at first, although I surprised him as well when I began to hit it dead on...

When I play on Gold Crowns, I usually wear an apron since otherwise the aluminum strip on the rail gives me a wide soil mark on my lead leg pants' thigh area, like Christopher Walken's character had in Pool Hall Junkies. This is more an old school practice dating to when people wore slacks to...

I picked up a Dufferin house cue for breaking one time and it had an apparently new tip never shaped and very flat. I joked that it should hit a ton, but little did I know. I won a race to 5 in 9-ball in about 3 minutes with 3 9s on the snap (all in different pockets) and 2 early 1-9s or 2-9s...

It's just a contempt of court jailing, not a real sentence. I think those are capped out at 6 months, max. The reasoning seems to be if that much time doesn't change the behavior, it won't. Ok, looked up the old Susan McDougal case and found it's 18 months max, at least in Arkansas.
