    What changes have happened to pool in the last decade?

    I started wearing gloves the instant they came out 30 years ago sir Joseph’s was the one at all the pool halls. lol they just made sense. Most of the people who made fun of them then wear them now. If you don’t need them god bless lol but I have oily hands and went from having to deal with...

    What glove do you use?

    I like the predator 2nd skin but kamui gloves are good as well. When they first came out they didn’t last long for me but I learned that when you put it on or take it off to pinch it where the extra padding is on the palm. They are super thing which is great but they can also tear easily. I also...

    World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

    Every sport is like that. There isn’t a single pro or even amateur ( high school and college ) sport that men play in that women can’t. But there are women’s sports that men can’t play in for a reason. Women don’t play in men’s sports not because they aren’t allowed but because physically they...

    Was old school straight pool different ….interesting video

    Yeah I believe I read Johnny archer was the first people saw blowing into the rack in the 90s in the pro game? Could be wrong. I know that’s what always struck me watching mosconi play. Just chipping away at racks

    What changes have happened to pool in the last decade?

    The biggest change around here has been leagues I think. Everyone around here played acs and bca. Now 90% of league players are playing apa. That’s really obvious if you goto nationals. Acs is tiny doesn’t even fill one of the big rooms in Vegas. Apa takes up all the space the casino has and...

    Was old school straight pool different ….interesting video

    I’m not sure if I found his thoughts interesting or just enjoyed watching crane play straight pool. I know this conversation has come up often . I think it has. I think it’s become much more aggressive now. It’s the slower chip balls out game played then. Guys want to blow the rack open...

    Social Media, Pool, and Fedor Gorst

    He’s young and understands social media. I can tell you at the super billiards expo he was swamped and selling out of everything.. they were just setting up wednesday night during the warm ups and he was already being over run with fans and people buying. Good for him. I saw his interview with...

    Commentators talking about anything but the match in front of them

    Well this isn’t like football where they do 1 game and go home. A lot of time these commentators are sitting there for 10 or 12 hours . The stream is free so just be happy you’re not paying for it and watch pool and stop complaining.
