    Puerto Rico Open 10 Ball, Men & Women (Nov 15-18), Winner $25K (Men)/$20K (Women)

    Thank you so much for posting this! BTW... Fat Boy... I am having a GREAT deal of difficulty discerning the 6 from the 8 on this broadcast! Should we make the 6 ball some shade of purple?

    The Sardo Rack

    This is why I mentioned the distraction of getting the template off of the table. I own the Outsville rack, and while better, it DOES still cause roll if a slow moving ball hits it. Also Outsville leaves color marks on the balls. They told me it doesn't and I had one from a bad batch and...

    i filmed myself shooting. I Dont like what I see

    Thank you. I fixed it. Just typing faster than I was thinking (imagine that) and not proofreading my work. I appreciate your inner English teacher.

    The Sardo Rack

    The most consistent rack is a template. There is no exception to that I have found. I really like my wood rack, and have used a metal Delta Elite rack which I think is the best physical rack available, but the template REMAINS on the table to HOLD the balls in place. The down side to the...

    i filmed myself shooting. I Dont like what I see

    Video is a modern day gift in athletics. I used video of my self for a year and was coached by Anthony Beeler who watched every video and helped me clean up my game. After playing regularly for over 25 years, video helped my game tremendously. In 1 year I progressed more than all the other...

    Warning Signs of Billiardism

    Hi I'm Piper and I suffer from B.A.D. Billiards Acquisition Disorder and I am a Billiardholic. I only saw 3 in the list that have never been me. I almost always play alone at home and wish I had a neighbor who enjoyed the game as much h as me. My wife doesn't really enjoy the game, and...

    Best value billiard balls (Aramith Regulation Size Crown Standard)?

    I literally own about 22 sets. Dyna Palladium and Tungsten, Centennials, Arcos II, Duramith, Elephant, Vigma, and quite a few other brands. All play about the same. Certainly all of the first 5 are fantastic and consistent. Honestly, I would put the Vigma brands in top tier as well. The...

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

    You would do VERY WELL to contact Red Dragon Billiards Club in Massachusetts. They have been in business successfully doing sort of what you are thinking of and have done it right for quite a while. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. https://www.facebook.com/reddragonbilliards/...

    Unique Pool T-Shirts (looking for)

    This fellow has a few remaining sets of the "CueMate" ball sets. This is a VERY cool T-Shirt commisisoned for that game. cuemate@comcast.net https://www.ebay.com/itm/232103659433?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 That said, if you...

    Yep... that was a keeper :-) The set I saw had 2 missing balls. I am not sure how I missed that one!

    Wrong Ball

    If the 5 ball were rainbow striped with unicorn glitter in the finish, I still couldn't beat either one of them! Who hasn't made a mental error in a game? I feel confident he was past the error by the next shot.

    Masters, triangle chalk becoming outdated

    I switched to TAOM chalk and found it is clearly not BETTER, but VERY MUCH CLEANER! As a result, I am now a permanent TAOM user. I just like the total lack of chalk marks all over the table and dusted all over the carpet. As far as playability, I can not imagine any chalk could make a...

    1 Tripod 2 Cell phone video 3 record the same shot from in front of you a few shots, behind you a few shots (you will see variation from straight stroke) 4 record the same shot from the side on your shooting side for several shots. (you will diagnose elbow drop, grip, bridge placement, follow...

    How long should my tips last?

    I always used triangles and got years. Just switched to a G2 med for 1 cue and a moori on the other. The moori seems much harder and glazes quickly so more scuffing. I hope I get a year. The G2 I absolutely believe is the best balance of longevity and playability. It seems to almost never...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    You may look around the board here and elsewhere on the web for a "Prestige Elite" set. Very different on the "Stripes" but a close 2nd at a MUCH better price point! If you find one and want the BLACK and Yellow 9, you could order a single from the "Aramith Black" set.

    Looks a lot like THIS Vigma set. Shame it doesn't have the very nice cue ball with logo included.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    After a VERY long search, I finally got a new set of these. You are correct that they are definitely NOT Aramith quality but they are just off the chart for COOL! :-)
