    New Mezz cues and new Mezz pool shoes

    Yeah, I am old and like playing in them. They fit my feet and the firm, flat sole is good. Hey, they are from our era. They are more acceptable now with different clothes and I am getting to the don’t care age. I don’t wear them with a suit - yet - and I figure they are a long way ahead of...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    Yeah, I unfortunately remember that one.

    Mcworter or Owens

    I have to disagree here. I have criticized CC for some short posts saying cue doesn’t matter, why spend that much etc…. I generally don’t like those posts. Here, however, the post points out the difficulty of the question and the subjective nature of it. He also points out differences between...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    Not true IMO. You need a place to play where a young crowd can have fun and feels safe. Last night young college age kids who were typical “bangers” were having fun drinking and playing while leagues were going on. I have seen groups of women in their early’20’s come in and drink and play...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    Freddy Bentivegna, rest his soul, wanted a film about Jack and Barbara Cooney. That would have been tremendous if done half way decently.

    I wonder if Predator and Lucasi may have ever had a Collaboration together.

    Not sure. I have one of those Lucasis from that era. Has a roman numeral on the butt plate I think. Came with a Lucasi shaft and a Predator pre cat with the matching railroad track ring work. I bought it at a retail store that sold pool tables - you know the pool and spa kind of place...

    2026 CSI Expo and Tournaments moving to Westgate

    I haven’t been in the west gate in forever. Didn’t stay at the Rio for the CSI. But I think the Rio leaves a lot to be desired. I kind of wanted to hit the ACS for the event in May but I won’t get there. Rooms looked like a legit deal for Vegas. Anyway, I hope to check it out next February.

    Just shocking they wouldn’t take that. The free money machine shows up and they scatter. 😱

    Wow. I am not the type to bet on coin flips. But how do you not take the 6/5? Unless you high rolled me and made me bet a gym bag full of money every flip like you did to Bucktooth I’d step up. That just shocks me. The locksmiths and nut hunters finally got their situation and couldn’t pull the...

    Iowa 2025 - Ultimate Pool USA

    Yeah and it probably works for that. I think I’d rather see 2 consecutive fouls as loss of game than that. Maybe not. And I guess you have some control shooting a shot you know is the wrong play.

    Iowa 2025 - Ultimate Pool USA

    I didn’t know that. I looked at the rules after seeing this. Terrible, terrible rule. I had been generally positive about what they are doing. And maybe still am. But that one makes no sense to me.

    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    I looked at the summary and probably will pass. Jung isn’t for everyone as you say. But we’ll see. The summary itself had some interesting info. Being too high on the perfectionism scale is a problem. I recently got the book Sports Psyching by Tutko. It has a sports personality test in it where...

    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    I think the USGA pretty much blew it on distance regulation. They have moved to dial the ball back a bit. But IMO they should have done it sooner and also limited driver head size - maybe sub 300cc. The ball and driver together- along with the new fitting technology- swamped the distance...

    Would have achieved more with the old equipment potentially. His advantage over the field was reduced a little with the new stuff. IMO.

    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    The thread prompted me to look at the Rotella books I have sitting on the shelf. Time for some rereading as there is stuff in there that I think you have to go back to and see if it fits where you are now, etc…. Anyway, one point he made is that there is no “muscle memory.” Memory is in your...

    I don’t see where in my posts I imply my game is great. I have a lot Of room to improve in all aspects of the game. Physical and mental frankly.
