No one said anything about not scratching. Just about making the cut. Some people do like to make up the rules as they go along! I'd probably let it ride but would never bet with that person again.

In 2019 I ordered a pair of snooker glasses from Spex4less in the UK. and all was fine with them. Tried to order another pair as prescription had changed too much in Oct. 2022 and they will not ship outside of the UK anymore so was out of luck. Bummer as they were only $100 shipped and worked...

Used to watch a lot of matches on TV back in the mid 80s when Hopkins was an announcer. A friend and myself would watch and try to figure out what the next shot would be. It was fun and helpful to learn how the pros think about or look at what's on the table. We were often surprised at the...

"Pocket Billiards" is a term that comes to mind. Interesting article!

An extra trip or two around the table. A little extra time to shake off the wow, or I sure got lucky factor.

He called the pocket, and it went in the pocket he called. Looks like a win to me no matter how it ended up there. If he had rattled the pocket before it dropped would someone complain about that? Didn't call both the rails it used to get there! It didn't go straight in. Wasn't a "clean"...

Anyone recognize this cue maker's logo? A friend of mine is interested. They are on Offer Up in the Seattle area.

A dozen Willie Hoppe Titlist cues $72 I'll take three dozen.

If you read books about golf to get better at pool, a good book for you would be The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey. Also a very good book is In Pursuit of Excellence by Terry Orlick. It is not about any specific game or sport, just sports performance in general. They both deal a lot...

Best simple explanation on how to play pool I ever heard- take the easy shots to get to the hard shots to make the hard shots easy.

$1 for the next 2 minutes.
