    HW (Harry) Stevenson was a leading exponent of billiards around the turn of the 20th century. Born in Yorkshire and based in Brighton, he was 16 when he made his first !00 break. He was a frequent traveller from the UK and spent a lot of touring Soutyh Africa and Australia/New Zealand. During...

    How many Pro level players would you say there are residing in the US?

    I really cannot see the point of this question. There is no professional structure in the USA. So determining if a player is or is not a pro is irrelevant. American players (with only one exception) rarely play outside America. None of the great US unknowns would succeed until they got down...

    Pool's last rites

    I have just finished watching 127 matches each with a maximum of ten minutes duration. What was interesting was that they freely borrowed the format and rules from pool and made them more appealing. The Snooker Shoot Out paid out $140,000.with winner Anthony McGill pocketing his way to a $50000...

    Ronnie OSullivans American Hustle Season 1 Episode 1 on Youtube

    I spoke with them and they have no current plans to run with any more. This is in spite of the fact that the series was picked up and shown on Sky One which is almost a mainstream channel in the UK. I did a lot of work in the early stages but when I asked them if they would pay me there was no...

    Ronnie OSullivans American Hustle Season 1 Episode 1 on Youtube

    I cannot take credit for the way the show turned out. The laid back manner of Ronnie and Matt Smith made the series very watchable. But there were not too many things that I hadn't left footprints. I saw the fabulous Blatt Collection when it was stored on Broadway. I drove a Mustang from New...

    Ronnie OSullivans American Hustle Season 1 Episode 1 on Youtube

    I did a lot of research work originally on this series but it was always going to be just four shows. There was a lot more material that was not used. This includes material on many diverse subjects. All these are still ideas on the drawing board and have only been minimally sketched in. A...

    This link connects you to a Russian based website. It is not often a good idea to open such sites unless you want plenty of unsolicited material (or worse still you are hacked).).

    Ronnie OSullivans American Hustle Season 1 Episode 1 on Youtube

    Wow! How good is this? The four part series has been picked from the niche market History Channel to Sky 1 HD in a prime time spot on this mass market channel. This is a mega move. But I am unhappy that I never got paid or even credited for research work that I did on the series, especially...

    roll call...only those that have been here 10+ years.

    Well I am pleasantly surprised because I cannot find anyone who joined before I did. There is a post from site owner Mike Howerton (AZHousePro) on 25th March 2003 and that is the day that I joined. In all that time I have used the same screen name pro9dg and the same password. So I must be...

    New MC cup captain team USA

    I would say with some certainty that this was a move made by Johann, before clearing it with Matchroom. It might have been done to appease the growing number of critics of his appointment. Or maybe he does not feel able to fully understand the psyche of the US players He is using JA as a...

    New MC cup captain team USA

    Easy Tiger! Of course I know of your credentials and respect what you stand for. I am just jousting with you. However, I stand by my assertion that there is nobody in America who could do the job better than Johann. I know there are good coaches there, that is a given. But this is horses for...

    Lest we forget - mark wilson

    As controversy rages over Johann Ryusink's appointment as Team USA Mosconi Cup Captain, I think that we should spare a thought for his predecessor. Mark Wilson was not a failure. True, his three year tenure of the job did not produce any victories but his performance needs to be judged on a...

    New MC cup captain team USA

    ] Some good insight there Joey. The US recent performances have shown the need for a radical solution and there is simply nobody in the USA who could apply it. That is not to say that there are no good coaches in the States. That would be patently untrue but there is not one capable of...
