I remember the Adam snooker cue, I bought one in the 80's (I think) it was indeed as you describe, 2 piece, North American Maple with white collar and had the White Adam Lion on the butt. I bought mine from a supplier in Brighton, East Sussex, I don't remember the name of them. The cue I believe...

Chris I know, but I still think it's unfortunate that 'your team' or anything remotely like it will never happen, that's just the nature of the beast that is the Mosconi Cup. I didn't mean to imply in my last post that you were anything other than joking and provoking talking points with your...

I do agree with Barry about Corporations and Sposorship, but we must get money from outside of the Pool World to make it work. Being entirely reliant upon money from within any industry is simply a recipe for disaster. Pool players should do what they love , play pool, but most even top players...

The Cup is a Matchroom competiton and they sure wouldn't do that, not saying it's a bad idea. However Matchroom want the most bang for their buck, they want the most well known players on both sides to ensure maximum sponsorship and TV Money etc. While I think Chris Bartram's team selection...

Below is the link to the article that I have located on the Matchroom site about JA being the first confirmed player for Team USA in the 2010 Mosconi Cup. Unfortunately all it says about the remaining places is that the No.2 Ranked Player by the BCA will also be guaranteed a spot too. The...

I am just grateful that we have streaming, any streaming at all. If we didn't all we'd get to watch is re-runs of Willie Mosconi, Luther Lassister etc and months old tournaments. Once I've seen them a hundred times I'm done! What I'd prefer to see from people here is constructive criticism...

I heard over the weekend that Johnny Archer is offically the first man picked for Team USA. I cannot confirm that as Matchroom website hasn't been updated yet, but it came from a pretty reliable source in the UK. I haven't seen Johnny this weekend as we were at the WPBA event at Gwinnett, but...

It was a pretty good event with some great games in the Pro Arena. Monica Webb played well in the final and perhaps should have beaten Jasmin in that final rack but missed the 3 ball and that cost her. There were some other fantastic matches along the way, two that stand out for me were Jasmin...

While I agree that Charlie would not be my choice either for the last spot, his Mosconi Cup record is pretty good I think.

Chris good point and if there is a Fan Vote Donnie would be in the running, he is high enough in the rankings to be in there. Does anyone know if he really is worried enough about flying, for crossing the Atlantic to be a real problem for him? I have heard this before, but do not know first hand...

Good post's by both you guys (MPP & Jay), I would agree that in any team sport, the interaction between the team members is often as important as who's in the team in the first place. If there's tension outside of matches it inevitablt spills over somewhat into whatever you are playing. There...

The only one I have ever heard of was from a friend of mine told me there was a Pub called the Druids Rock which has a Pool Table and the website is: http://www.druidspubrome.com/druids_rock/index.htm

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, that we now (both) have everything delivered to our work addresses to avoid having packages left at home when nobody is there.

This is a cautionery tale for everyone here, never skimp on the insurance just in case it never gets to you. My wife works for UPS and I can tell you that IMO no driver would ever steal something from their truck, they are paid too well. Packages do get misdelivered or even stolen from where...

I would love to see Donny in the vote, but as you say he'd probably have to go by boat. The last transatlantic probably leaves mid November, so I could always give Donny my brothers address in the UK to sty there for 3-4 weeks :rolleyes:

I too practice this occassionally just to change things up, because I really don't like doing drills at all. I have run them out, but I wouldn't say it's more times than I fail to do it.

I think Earl would have to win or finish runner-up in the US Open to even stand a chance of being considered. I believe he is currently 13th or 14th in the BCA Rankings for US players. If he did finish in the top 3 or 4 he might also creep into any Fan Vote.

I have seen many pretty good players lose to lesser players simply because IMO they take them too lightly. The right shot is, the right shot whoever the opponent is. I see too many people try to pot balls that are not really there to be potted. If a safety shot is the percentage shot play it...

Kid You appear to be missing a couple of points: 1. The BCA Rankings - Johnny and Rodney cannot be caught as top two in the rankings, even if someone elase wins the US Open, so yes their places are a 'done deal'. 2. How could anyone in their right mind leave out SVB? 3. It's Matchrooms...

Kid I understand your point, but some of it is based on rankings and then Matchroom have their say as well and without Matchroom involvement it would be difficult in this day and age to put it on. The top two in the BCA Rankings List automatically qualify for the team then Matchroom have at...
