Another thing that makes you better is playing for cash. I know a couple snooker players that could help on the 10' table for money.

Absolutely you should practice on a 10' table and when you snap your cue over your knee in frustration I have a couple cues I'll sell you at a special price.

He should go on a tour of street games like we see Efren doing. I'd love to see a top American or European matching up in a few of those games with chaos between racks, roosters crowing, powder all over the table and world class pool being played.

If that happened 30 times out of 40 break shots then either you aren't getting the cue ball away from the rack or you are the unluckiest pool player in the history of the game.

As long as your handicap system is transparent and properly explained I don't see why anybody would complain about you playing in the tournament. It's been 20 years since I played in a handicap tournament in St Louis and some high level players used to show up. A young Justin Bergman used to...

My experience with handicap tournaments is the top players outruns the handicap most of the time.

Try to kick the 15 in the corner. Learn what English you need to apply to the cue ball to get it away from the rack.

Not a difficult shot if the ball is frozen.

Anybody have a recent picture of Scooter? This reminds me of one of his legendary escapades where he took bags of quarters to a pool hall and a car wash change machine.

I don't have any lines on my table and I somehow have managed to survive.

I'll give another example from baseball. In 2021 MLB decided to crack down on pitchers doctoring the baseball using stuff like spider tack. Umpires were going to the mound to inspect pitchers for the sticky stuff. Immediately walks and batters hit by pitch skyrocketed because the pitchers of...

It's a way for people who are too lazy to learn the game to be able to play.

I have people living on my street who had no visa when they entered the USA who who knows where. One of them went to a local school and beat the crap out of a female relative who wasn't wearing the proper head covering. I'm confused about Orcollo being kicked out.

Problem with today's players is they are addicted to gimmicks like the jump cue and extension. Force them to use a mechanical bridge like the old timers and they would struggle on a 10' table. I was watching a match with a high level pro doing commentary - I won't use his name because he...

Willie's 526 was on an 8 foot table with buckets although he said he tried it again and ran over 600 the next time. I think perhaps the most impressive run was Appleton's 200 in competition vs Bustamante. Not sure what the pockets were on that table but I think they were under 5". After...

At that same time high level players were broke. There is more to the story.

I'm still confused about the Orcollo situation.

House cues tend to lead hard lives.

If a tree falls on a deaf man's foot I'll bet he hollers.
