Nothing I hate more than a thief .. Way back when I was young, playing for cash in Binghamton NY, and taking down a stranger in pretty good fashion. I had to take a leak .. there were 5 or 6 people watching the action .. left my cue at the table and when I returned my cue was gone and so was my...

Thank you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all as well.

Be Happy ..

When ever asked for advice, or how did you make that shot? I now always reply the same to everyone. I say I have no idea, I have never been able to think and play pool at the same time.

I don't think it matters who the coach is if he is not alone responsible for assembling the players that are to be on the team. The current system of qualifying to be on the team is highly flawed. Asking a coach to run a team of players that he has not chosen is guaranteed to fail. It's like...

I would be 100% for it ... Great recommendation !!

I played for years with a steel collared McDermott. About 5 or so years ago I bought a Predator wood to wood Sneaky with a 314/2 .. paid $300.00 for it brand new .. Instantly noticeable to me was the increase in feed back, a softer hit that was appealing to me and most of all being able to put...

Got it ... this is what I would do if I wanted to break with a Vantage, and I understand why you want to. I would make sure to carry a spare, and you may already, this way I can not see any potential troubles for you - and, 1x2 cases are the coolest...

I would never break with any shaft that is spliced or hollowed out -- In fact I do not like to use a Ferrell on my breaker because, even if it is very thick and made for the abuse of power breaking, I know sooner or later I would have a problem with it, if it's not there it can not break. In...

Yes Nick, Gambling, in the USA is legal everywhere. Here is what some folks get confused with... If you want to play someone a race to 25 9B for $500.00 and he agrees to play you, and the winner walks away with the 1K in the middle there is no law broken - this type of action is legal...

It would help pool, the same way that it has made the NFL and NBA grow to incredible heights. Only one problem -- people have to know what pool is and who pool players are before they will place a bet on a match. It's a great two way winning street for Vegas and the football and basketball...

It means absolutely nothing for pool. Two players playing for cash - anywhere in the USA - is legal today, and always has been. The gambling laws that you are referring to address the organized betting of a sport where it is controlled by a "house" who is taking a cut of the action. Good...

Thanks for the Predator update... It's about time they offered a no wrap Icon cue -- Now, they look rather odd to me, but that's just me. Also very pricy !!! Should certainly come with 2 shafts at this price - I anticipate slow sales at these price points. If I wanted this cue I would wait...

Correction: Ultra Skin Tips are not made in Texas -- apparently they are made in China !! Some time ago, at the introduction of these tips I read on Tom Hay's site that his tips were made in Texas, I remember this well, and I have a good memory. After checking moments ago I discovered that no...

McDermott G-Core .. You need to check out this shaft .. This is where Mezz got the idea for their Hybrid .. McDermott G-Core shaft is very affordable, has deflection somewhere between solid maple and a 314, has a great finish on the shaft - really feels great in your bridge hand, and perhaps...

It might depend on at what stage of use you test the Kamui for hardness. My experience with Kamui tips is that they increasing get harder with use .. they also have a major glazing problem. I have never tried a G2 for the same reason I do not buy used Rolex watches -- too many fakes and crooks...

I'll try to do better in the future .. life has been very busy for me lately. I don't know about the instructor business though - I have never been able to shoot pool and think at the same time. Good rolls.

This may be old news but I just watched the match. Strickland and Shaw in the Semi's .. Race to 200 and the score is Strickland 189 Shaw 184 - then all hell breaks loose... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILd9uTRmbmE

Thanks for the vids .. Earl is not what he once was but I wonder how much he plays on those tables. He was not a factor last year as these videos show...
