Weird that they show the final matchups of the qualifying bracket on the scheduled matches screen. Threw me off until I realized what it was I was seeing. Lukas, Max, Eric, Anthony, and Billy had good showings for the US. They didn't make the cut but exceeded expectations imo.

The first time I hit with the BK I was unimpressed and consistently out-breaking my opponent with my VX-2.4 or some name like that. The second time was better, but nothing noteworthy. My break was not all that great with any cue at that time however. A couple local guys have BKs and just smash...

Bumping this for opinions/preferences on break tips. The tip on my cf break cue does not hold chalk well and the hit it nothing special. I have no idea what tip came on the cue but it's extremely hard. I'm looking to swap it out but there are too many out there from which to choose and I am not...

Well thanks a lot you pack of bastids. After watching those clips and hearing the music, I have to go watch the movie again.

I knew they did it that was at the Derby. I wasn't aware of it being an option elsewhere. Do they have a 3 point rule in effect here? If not, a strategy could be employed that at least did not leave a wide open table.

I still have an Accu-Stats of Carter pummeling Efren at the Sands I believe. They had a Varner match and that one going on at the same time so they did commentary on Nick's match. After watching the tape of the Carter/Reyes match, they asked Jeff if he would sit in the booth and commentate the...

Lukas with a huge win over Lechner.

Please msg with cue age and price. Thank you

I hope you buy the BRKR. I tried to order one back in January or so and they were out of stock until April. I bought the Little Monster instead. It's OK but I really wanted to try the BRKR and would love a review of it here.

Pretty much this. Back in the day when I was one of the top local players. the up-and-coming young guns would ask me for advice. These kids probably had 2-3 years into the game on 9 foot tables, so they were not so invested that they could not correct course. I told every one of them to sell...

This. When I bought my new ProAm last year, I tried Masters, Triangle, Tiger, Magic, Predator, and Blue Diamond. Predator was BY FAR the most messy of the bunch. Granted, most were purchased off Amazon, and I've heard that some chalk is counterfeit on that site. I switched to V10, and...

Another vote for Oscar for #5.

Shane's tip at the world 8ball appeared mushroomed in the close-ups they showed in his matches. Must not matter as much as we think. My current traveling tip tool is the AB Earth cuboid. If you're careful, it does most things very well.

How often is Gigantor jacked up? Dude's tall as a tree. For me, I don't think he factors in the top three unless his break is on -really on. imo, he lacks the firepower to shoot his way out of a rack like some others do. Perhaps his consistency makes up for that. Shane has the firepower but...

Things have probably changed in the 13 years since that was posted.

I wonder if Aramith is the only company with this problem. Early this year, I purchased a new set from a different manufacturer and have experienced some problems with them that are described on the page you linked.

There are matches where it looks like Shane straight-up doesn't care. His demeanor, slouching in his chair, rushing of his shots, etc. make it look like he just wants to go home and fish (or anything besides play pool). This is just one man's observation, but there has been more than one...

That was my point. Duds are still popular btw.

Wow that's awesome. I remember your post about your match with Albin. Since I moved east I am not far from Derby, so I'll be trying that one as soon as time allows. Maybe the Open in a couple/few more years. Hope all is well in SV and the Old Pueblo. I miss you guys.

I'll bet Tyler would play Mike for $$$. There is no way Mike will get back to his top level in time for any match in the next 6 months even if he tried. Tyler stays in action and has had a pretty good year. Prime Mike beats current Tyler but that is not a real possibility.
