I was there in February coaching volleyball and met another fellow Coloradoan at Doc & Eddy's. Tables were in okay shape (9-footers) and the atmosphere was fine (didn't feel threatened). Right off of the main Interstate. There was another place that looked to be upscale in the downtown area...

Wish I had some of that natural talent! Eyes will be the biggest factor in young versus old. That will be the largest advantage for young players. A lot of players don't take losses well, young or old. Too many people lack good sportsmanship but it's the society we are now. I would say young...

I live in Colorado and I have had three separate pool mechanics (hackers) work on my home table. It sucks not being able to find someone reliable locally. They all say they do a good job and stand behind their work, but I have yet to meet one locally who is top-notch. Cobra, you'll love this...

I'll pray for everyone to keep safe also. Had a large funnel swirling sideways going over my head years ago. Looked out my window from my second level apartment and watched a big fat swirling cloud coming right at us. Ran downstairs with my pregnant wife and hid under the table of a neighbor's...

I understand the logic behind it from FELT but it is sparse. Not harping on you by any means and thanks for reporting this tournament as the Denver needs all of the help it can get. The staggered fees may bring in other players for a little while. It's unlikely it will bring in enough on a...

Can't say I like the staggered entry fees depending on skill level. It should be a flat rate for everyone. It's already trying to even out for the playing field by invoking a handicap system. Too many complications from trying to determine what everyone should have to pay. Lame. Definitely the...

I was very appreciative of being able to watch matches via free stream. Makes me want to travel there next year to play and/or help support it. Thanks for all of your efforts, Zach, and all others involved.

I love mine that I bought a couple of years ago. Their website has many examples of their cues. I couldn't find mine but they were very quick to respond to me that it was a cue they manufactured many years ago before they had a bigger shop. Here's what they told me: Created about 12 years ago...

With the different shooting mechanics that people are promoting, a progression in age may bring about changing your approach and setup at the table. Much like golf with Tiger Woods who has changed his swing a few times to accommodate his age and to try and prevent wear on his body. Whether it's...

I would guess this falls into the category of coaches and teachers/trainers of sports. Many coaches in sports are not a top player of their game but they have the knack of teaching or knowing the methods to be successful. I would think cuemakers could be all over the board in terms of talent but...

It's harder and I believe that is general consensus. However, as Posmaniac stated, it's spotted in most tournaments to take the luck factor out of making the 10 on the break. I play in a 10-ball league that scores points on individual performance and after around 7500+ racks of 10-ball, there...

How much is the asking price? I don't see it listed but maybe I'm blind.

A Bit of Billiards Longmont, Colorado One 5 x 10 (unsure of the brand but I can check)

Seeds 1 & 2 are separated at the ends because if the pieces fall into place according to seeding then 1 will play 2 in the finals. In the semi-finals, it should be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. If upsets occur, then upsets occur and that's just the way of bracket play. Take a look at the recent college...

Good point. I just had breaking on my mind but there is no reason to be breaking from off of the head rail.

The only thing the "first guy" should be supporting are the bar & pool room owners so that there are actually public venues for us to go shoot pool at. The "first guy" owes nothing to the "second guy" if he so chooses and the "second guy" should not be chasing off the "first guy" in order to...

I agree with having a shorter stick available. You won't need it on 99% of the shots but it's nice to have the short stick just in case you are stuck on the rail and need to stroke the ball some. It's not really much of a compromise and I would go with the 9 foot table. You could even cheat the...

I was at Mr. Cue's II in 2005 but that was the main event (damn, six years ago already). Atlanta has solid players so expect a strong crowd. There will be plenty of great players who don't play because A) they either don't know about it, B) are turned off because the APA's name is associated...

I have a buddy who jokingly pumps his cue over his head with both arms. It's all in good fun and he just does it in the company of friendly players. It's his way of stating "sorry" to his opponent.

I don't know the speed of these players well, but perennial favorites are Henry Brodt, David Rowell, Robert Hall, and Travis Gunn. Click on this link and you can go to the year of the Amateur and select "National Qualifiers" to see who played. http://www.usamateurchampionship.com/champions.html
