    Brooklyn still proud of Jean Balukas

    You're welcome. :wink: A while back I was reading a thread here lamenting the complete lack of Queen Jean videos on YouTube, and I remembered "that old video" I had lurking away in the cupboard. But what is an Aussie doing with a video of Queen Jean playing pool that was never ever aired on TV...

    English Pool Video Thread

    Got a link to some Classic English style pool.... Link it up here. Found this classic while surfing the Tube the other night. Some might find it as entertaining as watching paint dry, but with the colorful commentary and atmosphere a few frames of Defensive 8 Ball is worth a look, if just for...

    More Old Videos from the Lindrum Masters

    I would say yes. Both the snooker table and the pool table used in this invitational event seemed to have rather generous pockets. This is probably a combination of two things. (1) These were the tables available to the organisers at the time, and (2) it promotes more "exciting" play for the...

    More Old Videos from the Lindrum Masters

    Howdy All. A while back I posted up a link to a unfinished 75 snooker break Oliver Ortman made while competing in the Lindrum Masters in Australia circa 1999 (I think). Link to that thread here, and a little info about the Lindrum Masters tournament as well (Although it looks like the link to...

    First attemp at butterly.

    Hi. Can you post some more picts of the whole cue ? While the picture you have posted looks "pretty", its just not enough info to give you any real "feedback", but I'll add a few comments. First, that butterfly (singular) you have depicted does not appear to be an inlay as such. Did the...

    Watching The Color of Money for the 157th time and I have a question.....

    Yep, remember noticing this years ago and laughing. These threads disecting peoples opinions of TCOM and TH are a good read. If we had discussions about movies like this, instead of being forced to discuss Shakespeare and and so on, I might have done a bit better at school....Lol.

    Open invitation to all for pool at my place.

    G'Day Pjaze. Don't stress, your not the only Aussie that drops by this forum. I'm on the east coast, so even for me dropping by for a couple of racks is a bit of a hike. Out of interest, I have had a 9' Brunswick at home since the mid 90s, and have been building my own pool cues since around...

    An interesting You Tube Channel

    Wasn't sure the best place to put this link (sorry if it's been posted elsewhere before). If you watch a few of the videos you'll see a few cues, so I guess here is as good as anywhere. I found it fairly interesting. Cheers - Dave. http://www.youtube.com/user/AlekseyEremin?feature=watch

    Why do we use such larger tips than snooker players?

    Never Say Never. I've made pool cues with all kinds of shafts and diameters / tapers. Here is a brief video showing two cues with Ash shafts. One is a small shaft (10mm tip) which was also a shorter shaft, specifically designed for our Local Bar Table Pool (2" Balls). The other cue has 3...

    Alex Pagulayan 134 break

    Nice Break. Snooker enthusiasts would probably say not technically correct, but who cares. Balls went in the pockets. I always enjoy watching good pool players play some snooker. If anyone is interested, here is a link to Oliver Ortmann shooting some Snooker in Oz a while back...

    How fast do you break?

    I remember a good 10 years ago at the VNEA getting clocked at one of the speed break comp booths at a tad over 32 mph. This was just after an 18 hour flight, and feeling somewhat hungover. I knew I could hit em harder, but I was just too tired. Was on top of the leader board for a good half a...

    $20,000 BIG money 'Down Under'

    A good match overall. A shame Hoc never really made the most of his opportunities. His break was superior, and Nunan showed little willingness to change his break to the conditions, for which a another player on another day would have punished him. Nunan was always just in front and out of...

    The pete tonkin pair

    Nice looking cues. I like how the butterflys in the forearm are longer than most in that kind of design.

    $20,000 BIG money 'Down Under'

    Half way through watching the match on Youtube now. (Missed the live feed). Good match so far..... definitely not world quality, but good solid pool considering the money on the line / cameras etc etc. Did anyone post the link up to this. It's interesting to watch the different styles of the...

    $20,000 BIG money 'Down Under'

    ^ Agreed - Its a fair way out, and while I'd like to have a look, I'll likely forget in the meanwhile. Also, maybe you could add some info about what kind of table they will be playing on. (Sorry if this is listed somewhere else, and I didn't see it). I probably wouldn't be interested watching...
