I just purchased this thing. Will it begin at 1AM eastern time? Nothing is on yet from what I can tell. Thanks for any help. Danny

bump. I like this as a way to watch the DCC.

Simple, What makes the Philipinos so strong? It's their background in rotation. We play rotation with nine balls and they play it with fifteen. Nine ball is a piece of cake after playing rotation all your life.

We use Blue Master in my pool room, but especially for humid days I prefer the Triangle. Triangle is made by Tweeten's but is a bit more gritty.

Is that a nylon wrap? If it is it could be any number of productions cues, like Adams, Rich (or Helmsteder). If it was custom made it probably would have a linen wrap.

Craig, Ariel Carmeli still comes in to my place on occasion. I owned one of his cues for about five years and was very happy with it. The pin is a 3/8" screw into wood, and the hit I would say is probably on the medium to soft side, with a lot of feel in the shot. The cue is well-balanced and...

Just one more thing about Jean. She could come out of retirement right now and beat anyone out there with some practice and seasoning. I hope she considers it. The same people aren't in charge of the WPBA and my guess is that she would be forgiven her fine and could start anew.

No one is slinging mud, we're only commenting on how a great career was interrupted, and whether it was the right thing to do or not. Jean only knows whether it was the right thing for her.

Even so, why not pay the fine but under protest? Of course, I'm sure Jean probably feels ok about the way she handled it. Maybe she was ready to retire?

Next time I see Robin I'll ask her about this. I think she might have a slilghtly different take on what happened. I think it's too bad Jean retired from pool for this reason. So the WPA was wrong? Is that any reason to end a Hall of Fame career? And listening to John Mcnroe of all people. He...

From what I remember, Jean was playing Robin Bell (now Robin Dodson) in a TV match, and it appeared that Robin was going to win the match, at which time Jean started verbally insulting Robin, and ended up winning the match after Robin was visibly affected by the criticism. The WPA fined Jean...

Any info on the year of this? The "Hustler" came out in about 61 or so. I wonder if this was before or after.

The ten foot Brunswick Antiques were usually 1 and 1/2" slates in three pieces. I know because I use to sell antique tables and I put a 10 footer in my garage about 20 years ago. First of all, I had to try to find rubber for it, which was extremely difficult. I ended up getting lucky and found...

I bought measle balls for all my tournament tables about three years ago, and two weeks later I replaced them with the red circle. The balls play like they're heavier. I'm under the illusion that the cue ball is suppose to be identical to the object balls; the reaction is the same on all...

Mike started doing his exhibition thing in the '70s, but before that he was becoming one of the better players in the country. His focus on exhibitions has probably kept him from fulfilling his potential as a player. Nowadays, pool players really have to give up almost every other profession...

Wayne played in the '74 open just before we started practicing straight pool together at the Cue and Cushion in Anaheim. Wayne did finish fourth in the Stardust open in about 1972 or so (double elimination event), played in the '73 Invitational and only won a couple of matches, but in '74 he...

All HOF members need to do is look at Jose's record of wins in nine ball and one pocket. He might be shadowed by Efren and has always played second fiddle, in a way, though. On a side note, I was lucky enough to have both Jose and Efren playing in the finals of one of my nine ball tourneys 9...

Danny, I hope you don't take anything personally that is said on this forum. I know you personally, and believe you to be a helluva guy. Remember, you have your name out here and almost everyone else is posting some alias, so they can say whatever they want and get by with it, not having to own...

The economy is the major problem, also pool has been on a gradual spiral for about 20 years, since the Color of Money came out. I've diversified by adding a lot of HD TVs and changed the menu. If you don't have money to improve the place it can be difficult. In the beginning I had that problem...

Jay, I tried to express my concerns to Tony A. and it all fell on deaf ears. He even denied that the tournament ever was extended a day. I had to get Easy (forgot his last name) to confirm to him that it was and of course the reasoning (to keep the extra day) is that the hotel wants the players...
