    Trip to Chris's Billiards

    I believe the Morton Grove location is the original location and run by the same people. I've been trying to get there for a late lunch (less crowded) but have just been too busy. Maybe this week as I'm coincidentally in Evanston right now.

    Peaquod’s has a location in The NW suburbs too. Morton Grove.

    Who spends the money? Just the money math facts.

    Bummer. I remember the old days in Tulsa at Magoo’s and the palace. Good times.

    Who spends the money? Just the money math facts.

    Yeah. But they all ride around in the same car…:) That’s just the reputation when I lived in Kansas. I always thought that was a funny line.

    Who spends the money? Just the money math facts.

    There are no pool amateurs in Oklahoma. Only pros. :) If you were to stop a random car in Tulsa with 4 dudes in it. Three would have Fargos over 700.

    Did Mark Wilson finally kill "aiming systems" ?

    Doesn’t that seem like an aiming problem as well?

    Did Mark Wilson finally kill "aiming systems" ?

    I agree that straight in shots are usually stroke/stance related. But I see more people miss shots that are difficult to aim. I think in those cases they could benefit from either an aiming system or hard work training themselves to see the proper aim/contact line.

    Did Mark Wilson finally kill "aiming systems" ?

    Then why are people more likely to miss back cuts into the pocket?

    Poll for American Pool Fans. Are you watching Matchroom's WNT World Pool Championship live? If so, how?

    I wonder how many pool fans sign up and cancel and how much revenue that is to DAZN. It doesn't seem like it would be enough for them to insist on keeping it in the US. Pool doesn't even seem like an afterthought to them - no mention of it in their corporate report. Hard to find on the...

    Small pockets ruining the game

    My point was valid and well illustrated by my example.

    I think I understood what you said and I think that I agree. :)

    Small pockets ruining the game

    I agree with this. I played a tournament at a pool hall one time - I had been practicing there on 4.25" pockets for several hours and the TD asked if I wanted to play the tourney. The pockets on the tournament tables were 3 7/8". I played in it. I realized quickly that I couldn't run out and...

    Bay Area pool scene

    I have/had a couple across the bay in that price range but I think the last one will be leased Monday. That would be a hellish commute for you anyway. Although the google/Facebook/whatever bus does pick up a few blocks away.

    Has anyone ever heard of a Movie called THE PLAYER Starring Minnesota Fats in 1971

    True. Unfortunately both Ironman and Scott Lee have passed on. Along with Mr. Bond. This thread is bittersweet. I wish all three of them could have lived to see this development.

    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    Between racks it definitely shouldn’t have been called.

    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    I think the rule is pretty clear. If you break your shaft down during your opponent's turn, it's a forfeit/concession. I have seen it called in even nittier circumstances though. A girlfriend of mine was playing leagues away at a bar and was 'pole hooked'. She couldn't use her cue because...
