One of my favorite pool scenes. I am hopelessly addicted to cheesy '80's horror and action movies (hello, Roadhouse). Thus, the movie this comes from is not on the level of The Hustler, and there are some who will poo-poo it for showing the seedier side of pool. I find it entertaining and have...

Best quote, "Just get down on your belly and play." -earthquake But then again, I imagine you two could fill a book with stories and quotes. (hint,hint)

Is that $81.00 shipping worldwide? If not, that could be a deal breaker:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Couldn't agree more. Watching those four solids open up like a blooming flower was impressive. I remember some 9 ball fans on here talking about how exciting winner- breaks is, and how stringing big packages together makes 9 ball exciting....but if it's 8 ball, it's because the game is too easy...

Pro's are pro's. They are going to be pro at pretty much any discipline. That's why people like filler, Gorst, and SVB to some degree can become great at 1 pocket so quickly and beat those 1 pocket "specialist" that have been playing it for most of their lives. There are very few strict...

Yeah, but there were a couple of MR Tourneys in Europe this year, forgot which ones, where Sky gets to the quarters or semi's and plays like a king, and then comes back and lays an absolute egg the next round. I'm not talking about just getting beat, I'm talking about missing straight in shots...

Have yet to try the BIB, but I will give it a go. The regular may be made by Heaven Hill, but it's likely the stuff they squeeze out of the mop after cleaning up their good stuff! :ROFLMAO:

Jumping on the pool table seems to becoming a normal occurrence, akin to a racecar driver doing a burnout or doing donuts and tearing up the infield turf....It might have more impact if it was more like tearing down the goalposts in college football- reserved for only the biggest upsets or wins.

I've never been able to find JTS Brown outside of Kentucky...It's not great Bourbon.

Reminds me of the 9 ball matches before the MR rules. 1 on the spot, break anywhere, produced some of the most boring pool ever, imo. Make the wing ball-connect the dots to the 9 ball, rinse and repeat. The nineball rules have made it a much more exciting game to me. Would be nice if someone...

I agree it is a very welcome change from nineball and that most casual fans are more familiar with 8 ball by far. T shirts, shifter knobs, tattoos, etc. all feature the 8 ball. Heck nobody ever heard of asking the magic 9 ball to predict the future...:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I think I read somewhere that Steven Segal got Russian citizenship... we made it well on that trade!

Win or lose, imagine being able to travel to all these exotic places around the world playing the game you love. I wonder if some of our lower ranked players like Thorpe and Ussery get travel stipends from sponsors? Has to be an expensive trip...

Maybe that's what a young up and comer needs...the fans to get excited about them. As prevalent as social media is with the young folks, it has to be discouraging to constantly read how they can't compete and how bad US pool is. I'm not suggesting that they need sunshine pumped up their arse...

Do you have to have a machinists level to get it right? Mine rolls off veerrrry slightly to the bottom left... it is only noticeable when a ball is rolling very slowly toward the bottom left pocket I have a Starrett and a blue-point multi pitch level, and they both show level. I haven't adjusted...

We agree on this point. The more 800+ FR players there are, means it's harder for ANY one player to win, not just Americans. There are so many killers out there right now that American's may not win a MR event in the next two years. Agree again. The level of international competition is off...

In the last year, what 2 players from the same country have had significantly better finishes than SVB and SKY at the majors? Alcaide and FSR? Maybe a couple of the Polish players? Th Ko brothers? While not winning, it seems as if SVB and Sky are in the later stages of every tournament, and at...

Brother, I know you THINK you have it all figured out, and it is very tiresome telling all us peons how silly we are for discussing it after you've already figured it out...kudos to you sir for steadfastly bearing that cross. But here' a clue, it is a multi-faceted problem. Access to quality...

I was thinking the same thing...tighter pockets certainly favor the fundamentally superior And straighter shooting Europeans. I wonder if casual or new American fans will tune in if there are no competitive Americans? Sure us die-hards will cheer on a Ko brother or a Polish player with no vowels...
