This is something I’ve never fully understood, probably because I don’t have a good enough stroke. If you play a one rail kick and get a full contact on the object ball, and if you put a lot of topspin will it draw the cue ball back? And if you apply backspin will it act as top? When I practice...

I worked there from 2006 to 2011.

Did Hard Times, Plush Pocket, Butera’s, Stix, Golden Cue or any other notable pool halls close down?

No worries, thanks.

Thanks for posting this, I agree.

Yea I don’t understand why this bothers them.

I don’t remember that topic. I think that was during a time I stopped posting here, I only came back recently. I don’t really get the frustration you and the other guy are demonstrating. This is a discussion forum, if you don’t like a topic then don’t click. Though the previous topic posted here...

That was from years ago. But thanks for posting that.

I just watched the videos of Howard vs Lebron and then Hall vs Lebron, it made me curious as to who else was involved. I don’t see the big deal in talking about it. Most pool players know about it. Forgot to mention, I’m also wondering if Vegas ever started allowing bets on pool again. If not...

I didn’t know people contested that it was a dump. I thought it was basically agreed by everyone that it happened.

I know of Buddy Hall dumping in the finals, and I watched the video of the semifinal of David Howard vs Lebron. Did Howard dump too? He missed a pretty easy 9ball. Was Mike Lebron involved too or did it happen without his knowledge?

I didn’t know Bill and I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m guessing that after he started that promotion to build someone’s dream cue, he was diagnosed with cancer and thus never fulfilled that agreement. Is that correct? If that’s the case, I’m wondering if the cancer diagnosis just...

I saw a slow motion video a while back of some top players who threw their whole bodies into the break, which seemed to be popular in the 90’s and early aughts. Archer, Daulton, Ellin and a few others. The slow motion seemed to show that a lot of the movement happens well after the ball is...

I hope Ronnie wins but he’s gotta be in form to beat Ding. How’s Ronnie played so far?

I don’t think there are many people that will play him after he beat T-Rex. I think Orcullo would step up though. Yes I know I’m 6 months late but I just watched the match today 😁

Do you think my shaft might be defective for it to still be leaving the black residue if I’ve been using it every day since August? Most people seem to say that the residue tends to stop being left behind after using it for a ‘while’ though I don’t know how long they mean. It’s really strange. I...

If you mean that when I stretch, my bridge hand is further down the cue and thus at a less used area so it’s more likely to rub off there, I don’t know if that’s the case since I clean the shaft pretty thoroughly and evenly. Or did you mean something else?

Is there anyone known to have a harder break than he did? Is there a record for the fastest recorded break speed?

I’ve had a Revo since August and I use it every day, and despite cleaning it with those wipes and using rubbing alcohol it still leaves a black stain on my bridge hand. I like the shaft but it’s weird how I can play with it for an hour and my bridge hand is clean, then a shot or two later...

I’m not advocating it...I said I’m not sure if I like the idea or not. Some pros have advocated for it and I’m wondering what people think about it.
