    Rhino CF shafts....159bux, free ship

    Buddy bought the playing shaft and said it plays exactly like his revo but has a different sound. He put a different tip on it now and is trying it for breaking duty.

    McMinn vs. Reinhold.... 30K.... 16th-17th

    Wow. Wasn't he +8 in this match? Impressive.

    Does playing pool make you smarter?

    If it does, I must be an anomaly. I sure as heck should be smarter than this, with the time I've spent at the tables.

    Rhino CF shafts....159bux, free ship

    I've never clicked a link or even spoke of this shaft and the ads for it are popping up everywhere for me. Zuckadick must be a shareholder. I hope they play great and hold up for everyone.

    USA vs Europe: past, present, and future

    It really comes down to money, once again. 25 years ago, I told the young players at the pool hall to quit immediately when they asked how they could get up to my level (probably 600 fargo back then if it existed). I maxed out at what would have been perhaps 650-675 speed, but that never paid...

    Rasson Table/Mosconi Cup

    Something similar happened on a diamond at the UK open when Shane played Skyler. In rack 8, Shane rifled a ball into a corner pocket that jumped out but landed back into the same pocket. I don't know if, or how many balls were in the pocket at the time.

    You want to back Josh Roberts against Wolford, I'll back Shane. I wanted Oscar on the team but Wolford showed me some things that have me thinking he should be back. If the MC was 1P, Josh would be on the team. I truly hope Josh gets motivated to play more 9ball. He's a great player. He's...

    I'd like to ask a favor of Europe, to keep Shaw over there forever.

    This is worse than watching my Blackhawks play.

    Shane gambles. I don't think he's out there hustling amateurs, but he has always played for money. The cash could have been decided before the match of course, but it's happening. In fact, I think there was a joke going around because at the time of the 60 minutes thing reporting "doesn't...

    It's about the money. A local hall had 1, 9' and maybe 7 bar boxes. They remodeled and went to 7 bar box tables and 3 dart machines (for a league), since the big table rarely saw action. They remodeled again recently and were going to go back to the way it was. Another former pool hall owner...

    Rack 3 came down to poor decisions more than poor execution.

    At least Albin is playing next so we won't have any emo dancing or puffing of concave chests after each rack won.

    Well we let everyone in. Rapists, terrorists, pool players, etc. It's not up to us. If only we still had a democratic republic. FYI, I've called most of the players we're watching worse, I just don't post it. In all fairness, I call myself much worse when I do something stupid at the table.

    European fans are classless for the most part. However, since the Euros have been winning everything, the fans have not tried to shark the US players in the middle of their strokes like they usually do. Euros talk a lot of sh!t about the US, but every one of them lives here when given the...

    I like JJ but he needs to be in the booth. He's not a captain imo. I would rather see him out there advising the players than Shane though. Also, when Fedor is out there doing his thing, stay in your F'ing chair. He does NOT need help. All SVB did there was undercut Fedor and show a complete...

    Tip Softness/Effect on Draw

    This. Use the hardness chart. You can't always trust hard, soft, medium to translate across the brands. I use milk duds and feel they are more consistent (hardness), than most.

    So they don't make it obvious these colors are complete blasphemy, they now call out the colors of the 2 ball, 6 ball and 9ball.
