Where modern pool broadcasts fall woefully short is production. Watch some of the the Accu-stats classics from the 90s and early 2000s. You felt like you were there watching from the best seat in the house, on every shot. The camera angles were great. The sound of every shot. You didn't just...

It’s like a room of kindergartners who pick up a crayon for the first time and some are worlds better than others. Why is that?

It’s not a fight at all. We just don’t agree and that’s a good thing. My point is that ‘talent’ extends way beoyend, and is not limited to pool. If it is in other aspects of life, why not pool too?

Don’t be surprised if/when it happens. Not all of us have been as fortunate.

Talent hurts your feelings because you want the playing field to be level. It’s not. It’s the 22 yo who picked the game up casually 2 years ago, looks like he’s not even trying, that you can’t beat and plays 2 balls better that you ever have. It messes with your head and hurts your feelings, and...

While waiting on me to come in to the exam room, one of my 19 y/o patients, who is on the spectrum did something no human should be able to do. While standing up, with a regular ball point pen, on printer paper drew a gorgeous, PERFECT lineup, in perfect detail of all the Peanuts characters…...

Next time you're in NW Georgia, do yourself a big favor and go to Kennesaw Billiards on Wade Green Rd and your faith in pool will be restored. 24 hours, smoking friendly, some nice tables, some not so nice. Darts. Music you would expect to hear. No one cares what you look like. It looks like...

Don't want to sit in your chair and watch your opponent run out the match? Learn to lag, kick, break and play a lock down safety game better. Didn't win the lag? You should of hit a better shot. You break and nothing went in? Learn to break better or buy another lucky rabbit's foot. You break...

Good for doing it yourself and nice job! I've tried exactly once on one of my more forgettable cues. Never again. My best result would be worse than a professional's worst.

By the logic given so far, schools of fish pack in to every casino on the face of the planet all day, every day waiting to be hustled, and there is no shortage of business, despite people booking losers 99.999% of the time. Only the 'big scores' are discussed. Are these casinos parasites as...

The best comparison I can make is a double shimmed GC4 with lively rails that will accept nothing but a perfectly hit ball down the rail. Don’t get me wrong, the table plays fair, it’s just up to a very high standard. It’s a gold crown that has evolved to the modern game. If you’re used to...

There’s just something different about how the older generation shot, and I’m only 43 so this isn’t some get off my lawn perspective. The modern game is calculating to a fault. There are still some throwback players, but it just feels so robotic. Sterilized. Template racks. Every table must...

Centennial for me, mainly for the nostalgia aspect. When I unload a tray of centennials on a Gold Crown, I'm in heaven.

Accu Stats produced matches, especially the classics, are the best in the business and it's hardly even close. I can listen to Buddy, Grady, and BiIly all day long. Sadly, commentary and production are now very lacking and I can hardly watch for more than 20 minutes before looking for something...

I went Back to Archers again last night at around 7:30. All tables were full except one of the coin ops. The girl working the bar was very pleasant and helpful. I banged around on the 7’er for 15 minutes until the 9’er opened up. The general vibe was great, and busy to be a Thursday night...

To me, pool is, and has always been mano a mano or man vs self. Team pool just feels weird and not natural to me. Everything is always your own fault, good or bad, as the gods intended it. Teams don't excite me. Runouts, unconventional shots, and just plain old fashioned moxie played on GC 1s...

I've sold several cues and have made and lost. I could do well on my Omen set, but will never sell it. Overall I'm about even on the selling front. I did really well on my Murnack and George cases but miss them dearly. I agree with the overall sentiment... buy them to enjoy.

I’m in Rome. Hardly play these days but I would like to play more. Life commitments and such.

Looks really nice. Not trying to be a knocker, but is the font different from the genuine deal from Brunswick?

Oh I believe it but had never seen the horror before. Unacceptable is the only word until my brain wakes up a little more. How the hell does that even happen?
