    JOHN MORRA VS TYLER $80K MATCH

    Bummer. I wanted to watch but I couldn't get the purchase to go through. I found the website where they are selling the stream, put in my info, but it wouldn't highlight the 'complete purchase' button, it was greyed out. I figured I needed an account but they didn't have a 'register' button...

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    Thank you kev. I couldn’t do it without a lot of enthusiastic students who trust me with their pool game. I appreciate the support. 👍

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    It's funny. DCC might be the most successful, biggest field size tournament in pool history, and it runs better than 90% of tournaments in terms of start and finish times daily, match predictability, etc. For all the complaints they must be doing something right if there are lines out the...

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    Hey rexus. I appreciate your care in phrasing this in a conversational way. Given the context many questions come across quite disdainfully, almost as if the questioner is thinking "How could you let this happen, I would never let this happen to me, I am smarter than everyone and get things...

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    I just received an email back. They have 500 entries total in the 9 ball. Originally they had 30 on the waiting list. There have been cancellations every day and I am now 12th in line. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get in. I am registered for the banks and one pocket so I'll probably go...

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    For many years they have allowed sign up at the door. I am trying to do what has worked for me many times in the past and running into issues that may ruin my pool trip. I have a hotel booked and was looking forward to the 9 ball, I'm bummed trying to gather more information to see my best...

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    Yes, but it wasn't clear if that was their cap online so they had room for those who drive in and pay onsite or if this was a hard limit. In years past they were uncapped and most people paid on site. So if this is a true limit that is a huge change.

    Thank you. They are closed (5PM EST close time) but I will try them again first thing in the morning.

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    I can sign up online for the banks and one pocket but the 9 ball is showing 'out of stock'. They say they are capping at 400 entries. Is this online only or does this truly mean they are turning away players? If so this is totally new and going to be a big bummer as I have played for years...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    I don't understand how people are accusing Shaw of rack manipulation. Sky literally broke and ran 5 racks on him to tie up the match. At no point did he try to slug Sky. All I've seen from Shaw is great sportsmanship and a love of the game and competition. I don't see the evidence even for a...

    TinMan vs Fedor

    Thanks gang. It’s a tough one. I was really tight early and dug too deep of a hole to have much of a shot. Sometimes that relieves the pressure and I kind of got in stroke. Felt pretty good and was pleased with how I played after that. It stings to miss that combo because if it goes 7-7 with me...

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    Thanks for the shout out Lawnboy! For those that know me I am far from an expert on fundamentals. I trust Dr. Dave on this subject. Most of what I work on is game play, patterns, cue ball, etc. For sure I am not afraid to smooth some things out but if people are looking for a video recording...

    Proposition bet ruling requested!

    Agreed with 'made the cut, pay me'. To talk about scratching would be as stupid as saying "Well if we were in a game and the 13 ball had been here you wouldn't have gotten good position". Entirely out of the scope of the bet. I would demand my money here.

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    I understand. It’s similar to pool. If someone said they want to make a career out of pool I’d probably bet against them too. Usually I’d be right. So if fedor came to AZBilliards in 2012 and asked for advice it wouldn’t have been very supportive. I’m no fedor, but running a pool club is no...

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    Thank you! Our projections aren’t based on market research, they’re based on local feedback. We haven’t officially advertised our opening yet. Just word of mouth letting rumors circulate that we are opening a club. And those rumors spread like fire around our area. We started taking down...

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    Hey all! I appreciate the responses! My lack of follow up had to do with being a bit overwhelmed by the feedback! I appreciate it, it was just a lot to digest. My question was really about an anticipated member to table ratio. My takeaway was that 6 tables could support 50 members give or...

    Straight Cuing Overrated?

    The question about being overrated is all relative. If your stroke is the weak link in your game then improving it will be a good return on your efforts. If your stroke is imperfect but satisfactory and there are bigger issues with your cue ball control, patterns, mental game, and in other...

    SVB vs Chohan 1P

    You are absolutely right. And just like in a pool hall you don’t have to be friends with everybody. And just like in a pool hall if people started spreading nasty lies about other people I would call it out. 👍

    SVB vs Chohan 1P

    You don't like Tony trash talking, but ironically you are now trash talking Tony for doing so? Why not lead by example? Why hold him to a standard you can't follow? I have never seen so much disrespect for the players as in this forum. My friend follows MMA and says that on the forums he...
