It was fun! So glad that Holden hosted this event. Didn't expect to do well, but had one decent game-in defeat-against Eugene Ok. John Walsh is a killer with his snooker stance and always beats me like a rented mule. I'll be rooting for him in Flushing.

Baby Steps still go forward! 25 August 28

Hopkins/Hohmann As in most discussions era to era comparisons are fun but not really applicable for all sorts of factors, including the opportunities for competition and the strength of opponents. That being said, Thorsten won the World 14, 1 in 2006, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018. He finished...

Thank you, AtLarge for all your contributions. We love the stats!

Thank you for posting! I am Rich family cues aficionado (Issy, Abe, and Saul) who has done the Wikipedia article about them, greatly aided by Abe's nephew Howard, who is stilling selling NOS Florida and Star cues by Abe on eBay. The subject gets confusing, and I was able to correct the...

78th World 14.1 Championship As every year of the current era, since 2006 in East Rutherford, I will be at the event. Other AZ members please say hello!

2018 78th World 14.1 I believe these are the currently announced players (as of August 11): It would be helpful to have a current player list on the web site. Johnny Archer Michael Badsteubner Rhys Chen Holden Chin Brian Davis James Heller Earl Herring Thorsten Hohmann Mika Immonen Ben...

Holden Chin of RAXX made me a great adaptor for my Schulers. I'm now enjoying my Revo 12.4. Want one? Call Holden @917.846.6200 for pricing information.

Griff's? I'm imagining that's the one in Las Vegas. A little farther for me than Mark Kulungian's friendly room in Windsor Locks, CT.

I think that Pat Fleming has been way ahead of everybody for many years. His MIH and other 14.1 Invitationals are the pattern for events, both for players and spectators. We don't need 64 players; we need the best players, and they need their expenses covered and guaranteed payoffs.

US and World Opens I certainly agree that Mark is a gentleman with a fine room. I hope that he reconsiders. Meanwhile I heard on the AZBTV stream from Upstate Al that the World will be back in August, perhaps at Steinway for the 6th year. Has anyone got more information?

The death of a thousand cuts 24! At a ball increase every two weeks Mosconi can rest easy.

Two events whose current iterations I've thoroughly enjoyed since their revivals-Dragon Promotions World 14.1 since 2006 and Mark Kulungian's Connecticut event in 2016 and 2017-each had very small player fields recently whereas Peter Burrow's American event in Midlothian,Virginia seems to get...

No finals-aargh! Steve and Heather Kurtz and Charles Eames had the same problem with the 14.1 Challenge at SBE years ago. The obvious answer is full sponsorship and coordinated schedules with the one rack events. Easier said then done, alas.

Nibble! Nibble! Nibble! 23 January 13

Baby steps still go forward! 21. Too cold to do anything bur shoot pool. (At my age)
