    Any thoughts about Pool Clubs?

    One question about these "club" memberships. Can an owner discriminate against anyone who may want to join??? I would think in the Houston area there could be problems with gang-type individuals wanting to join and get enough "buddies" to join and take over and ruin the place. You know, kinds...

    Anyone have Cataract Corrective Surgery?

    I got the mid-price option. I'm like you. 20/20 vision in both eyes now, good on mid-to-long range shots but kind of blurry at close range. Sometimes I graze balls I (in my mind) think I'm going to clear. Still, I'm glad I didn't pay the extra 2 grand per eye just to improve my pool game. At...

    Interesting safety exchange between SVB and Deuel

    At 13:15 Corey did it first.

    League trophy

    Years ago I had a good amount of basketball/softball trophies that after a while gravitated to shelves in my garage. One day as I was piddling out there, a couple of neighborhood kids, maybe 6 or 7 years old walk in and asked me about them. I asked them if they each wanted one. They were very...

    Brunswick Centennial Cloth

    FWIW, before I recovered my table, I had Brunswick Centennial Green cloth on it and it never turned my hand green.

    Fedor Mosconi cup

    Our opinions may differ, but I gave up on the Mosconi Cup when fans overseas hit one of our players with a pacifier and another time made rude comments about another players wife. It stops being serious pool at that juncture. I don't even keep track of it anymore. It has become as silly as...

    Fedor Mosconi cup

    I do not agree with this. Anything pool is ALWAYS about the money. These forums have taught me that much. Fedor would have to be an idiot to want to go to a team that has a lesser chance of winning. Why would he chance losing 10k over an unwise decision?

    Fedor Mosconi cup

    It makes more sense to change the name from the Mosconi Cup to the Reyes Cup and have European and Asian teams compete. Be better for the fans too, which is basically why they have the event. It's purely entertainment.

    No safeties in nine ball

    This is especially annoying when there's a 30-second shot clock and the "rubbernecking" outgoing player is in the way of the incoming shooter, whose precious time is winding off of the clock!

    No safeties in nine ball

    I don't like them either, but once again we seem to be in a lopsided minority. I really dislike the jump cue when a seasoned professional player shoots a shot so badly that he/she hooks themselves and they run over to their chair for their security blanket (jump cue) to bail themselves out. I...

    Opponent interaction in sports/pool

    That's a great paragraph right there! Well said.

    Opponent interaction in sports/pool

    This back and forth brings to mind two matches I watched on Youtube. A 10-ball match (race to eight) at Griff's between Alex Pagulayan and Eklent Kaci where Kaci won the lag and the next time Alex got out of his chair was to shake Kaci's hand at the end of the match. The other match was SVB and...

    No safeties in nine ball

    I agree with you on this, but we are in a lopsided minority on it. Most people don't want to see the two-way shot go away. Many others believe that luck should play a part in all sports. I love the idea of a well played two-way shot myself, but I could sacrifice that shot for at least one...

    2023 Texas Open results???

    My brain hasn't been the same since my stroke last year. I had it in my mind that it was played this past weekend. My bad!

    Dallas tip replacement?

    Fort Worth Billiards does good work. $15 tip replacement if you bring your own tip. I've never used Omega, so I cannot comment on their pricing nor quality of work. Great store though.

    Never a truer statement spoken on this forum as this last sentence!

    My King case buying experience

    No need. I have a JB Rugged 3x6. I get the idea. Fine interior for what looks like a fine case!
