    Professional level according to Fargo

    In Golf, players have to achieve certain metrics to become PGA Pros. Fargo could be the beginning of that for pool at a professional level it seems? Rather than "anyone who has the money can join the tournament" it would require working up through the ranks to achieve that title. That will...

    Aramith 100 new ball set out tomorrow

    Rule number 1 for ALL levels of collecting: Anything promoted and sold as "Collectible" absolutely isn't. If you are in the market for a new set of pool balls and like these, they will almost certainly be fabulous to play and look really nice. 20+ years from now, you will likely still be...

    Production Cues vs. custom

    I own 2 players. A Viking F 50 and a J.Flowers 20 21. I bought the Flowers for a smaller 12mm tip and to try CF. I really enjoy playing with both. I doubt I will EVER be a player who could benefit from a "better" cue than these. If you find a cue and tip you like from a few hundred to just...

    Beeler's Virtual Billiard Academy - Pool Lessons

    Well then moving forward perhaps all instructors should be vetted and approved by you before being allowed to post here 😉 Anthony is a stand up guy, professionally trained educator, and has great communication skills. I forgot to mention he is also absolutely NOT Lou Approved 😁

    Beeler's Virtual Billiard Academy - Pool Lessons

    Also, the best players do not always make the best teachers. And the best teachers are not always the best players. Tiger woods has a coach who could never beat him on the course but helps his game.

    Beeler's Virtual Billiard Academy - Pool Lessons

    I was a student of Anthony for a year as a virtual student. He responded to EVERY video or communication I sent to him within an hour with clear graphics added to my videos showing areas to work on and voice messages to absolutely any questions asked about any aspect of my game. I am an...

    If your on the fence on buying a ball polisher, buy it

    Could you measure this with calipers? I don't know. It would take a very sensitive caliper. Can you tell it in the finish and how quickly the balls get covered with contact marks and need to be cleaned again? Absolutely. I didn't keep a time on it, but using a cleaner I purchased that uses...

    If your on the fence on buying a ball polisher, buy it

    Do you say this from actually making and using one? Both the bucket polishers AND the centrifugal polishers that use a pad and a drill cause the balls to rub and hit against each other. I have never seen an bucket, or non separating polisher of ANY kind, where the balls do not abrade each...

    If your on the fence on buying a ball polisher, buy it

    And rubs the balls against each other resulting in significantly reduced life of the finish

    Interesting Piece of Mosconi Memorabilia

    "Mosconi" appears to be two seperate writings, not one continuous word. While that is not totally uncommon, the transition from the "s" to the "c" is overlapped and I have never seen that. In "Willie" the two dots above the "I's" go in two opposite directions which I have never seen. Also the...

    New Aramith pool balls

    Now maybe the latest Aramith ball sets will be as good as the standard $100.00 Dynasphere Bronze sets! ;) :giggle:😁

    Very simple ball cleaner.

    These work well. I had a similar setup. The downside is the balls are in constant contact and after a while these may induce more surface wear than a cleaner that separates the balls so they dont rub against each other.

    Thanks to AZ Billiards community who write reviews

    Agreed. I have read and benefited from many reviews here. As such, I have also posted a few when I bought something I thought the community might like to learn about.

    Arimath “Black Measel” cue ball

    I have been thinking about that blue dot ball to put with my Centennials to replace the blue circle one. Would look great I think

    Efren's Derby Cue...???

    It wouldn't matter if it was a lathe turned broomstick, warped from sun exposure. Just hand it to Efren and watch him go! LOL I TOTALLY agree that if Predator is not begging him to take their money for sponsorship they are crazy.

    Efren

    Efren really is the most entertaining, mentally amazing player in my lifetime by a LONG stretch. I've just never seen anything like him and enjoy watching him all through his career on youtube. There is something to learn in his every turn at the table. I wish him the very best.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Totally agree! The ball seems like a misprint. I am a bigger fan of the cue ball from the Arcos II set with the triangle spots. #Firstworldproblems :-)

    Sorry... Super Aramith Pro. It's their second tier set after the Tournament Duramith sets
