    Pool Table on Wheels/Casters

    I looked at doing something similar while setting up my room. Although I didn't want a home theater, per se, I thought I may want a different room to watch the occasional movie and daily sports. What I found out was that most of my friends or guests, even the ones specifically invited for a...

    Gorst in the Mosconi

    I agree. MR can bend, break, or invent new rules if they wanted Fedor on Team USA bad enough. That dude never misses a chance to let everyone know how bad American pool is...

    Matchroom Major Event-European Open (8-13 Aug), Fulda, Winner $30K Prizefund $200K

    What a lot of pool to watch this weekend! (and I still got to play in a local 9ball tourney) Anyway, couple of thoughts: - Phil Yates spent way too much time talking up Filler. It was almost embarrassing. He does it to SVB as well. Their accomplishments and play speaks for themselves. I...

    APA World Champs!

    Using your second set of numbers, 7-6-4-3-3 Is a super tough lineup to face. Yup. This is how i strategerize (yes, I just made that word up). I like to start with my solid 4, if he wins I usually like our chances. Then it's gonna be either me 6 or a strong 5 followed by another decent 4. I...

    APA World Champs!

    Congrats to them, but are they members of the forum? Just curious as you said "our" very own. Either way, great accomplishment!

    Why not Pinegar?

    Agreed. I think we are thinking the same...you are just better writing it out!

    Why not Pinegar?

    My point being, do you like someone like Hennessee's chances at aWhite Diamonds, buffalo billiards, or a Big Tyme Road Show tourney where the Calcuttas can hit six figures and they are all within driving distance. vs. MC points qualifier such as Turning Stone or Derby City? Someone at...

    Do you disagree with anything I posted? If so, write it down like a big fella and stop being condescending.

    World Professional Nineball Pool Corporation Unveiled

    Since I first started lurking this site in 2014 or '15, in almost every "how to fix professional pool" thread the consensus has been that in order to grow, pool needed: 1. A recognized tour 2. A common game with unified rules 3. Enough prize money to make it worthwhile for players to choose pool...

    Why not Pinegar?

    I think it is a real road block to getting, or even trying for, MC points when you can stay relatively local and make more money. An extreme example is Fedor last year....staying in the states, playing regional tourneys, bar box tourneys, and money matches and he made more than most, if not all...

    How 'bout them Filipinos!

    I would be interested to know how much local economy contributes to this island of killers. What I mean is, how many of those guys do nothing but play pool all day long? I remember one Efren interview where he states he knew from an early age that he could make more money playing pool that at...

    Svb Sky Tyler styer Billy Thorpe Chris reinhold Shane Wolford Hennessy T-rex Josh Roberts Jeremy sossei (If dechaine and iceberg were active they would be in there) Regardless, these 10 men could BE COMPETITIVE against any 10 on any given day in a mosconi type format. They won't be...

    Southwest Cue Started.......(I hope)

    Congrats on the new cue. I see by your sig line that you have quite the enviable collection. I am sure this cue will only enhance it. I have a couple of questions: Are Southwest's considered true custom cues? Did you have to order the particulars such as points and veneers when you initially...

    What Do You Look For in a Pool Instructor

    I will share my experience with an instructor. I was fortunate enough to have a 6 hour lesson with Scott Lee about 4 years ago. I had seen much of the free stuff online, all of tor Lowry's stuff, had paid for a membership for Max Eberle's online Pro Billiard Academy and watched every one of his...

    The cue and young you

    I still have my first cue. Although she has been put out to pasture, and no longer has long hours of play left in her, she will always have a spot on the wall in my cue rack. I think I paid 40-50 bucks for her back in 1990, the year we got our first pool table and the year I fell in love with...
