This brings up something I have been pondering but I don’t have any perfect solution to offer. ABA vs NBA and WHA vs NHL didn’t involve the international governing bodies of the respective sports. Somehow different professional leagues in different countries managed along with international...

Most football players would like that too. I don’t think most NFL players ever vest in pension benefits which I believe is 4 seasons. I don’t know how much of a season qualifies. Because sometimes teams use strategies so they don’t have to guarantee a full year. And the path to playing in the...

I’m sure. But I liked the early life experience part. Interesting to read about and how it influenced his outlook on life. And a little thing - when he talked about being in South Haven. My father was a little older and was one Of the Chicagoans who went to South Haven some during that time. His...

Thanks for this. Interesting

The slip stroke gives me the best feel of the forearm coming through from the elbow down only. Seems easy to get through the cue ball. Everything feels still except that forearm. The first pool hall I went to was owned by a guy who played very well with a big slip stroke. And yeah, it was a...

Yeah that makes sense. I like the feel of it. Wish I could pull it off halfway consistently.

Varner was an issue last year.

Looking at the website I don’t think a 13 y/o can go to Family Billiards. May want to check beforehand. I am traveling w/ our 17 y/o at the moment. Sitting in San Jose. I thought about checking out California Billiards or Jimmy’s but probably won’t get to either one this short trip. We’ll see.

Of course you aren’t going to get that in that interview. You can’t expect that. EF gave a lengthy off the cuff interview which most would not give in that context. IMO the nugget that EF gave was that they had a tour and players to protect. That’s where they’re coming from. And were I a player...

The sponsorship issues need to be worked out sooner rather than later. For pool to do anything the sponsors and tours/ tournaments need to realize there has to be some “ diversity in logos”. Predator wants and needs Predator players to be sporting logos in WNT evens. Likewise, Cuetec needs and...

Right, but a PGA Tour member can’t go play a DP World Tour or other conflicting event without a release. Can’t skip a PGA Tour event then play in something else. You can skip events and stay home. With exceptions etc…. Can’t even play a Korn Ferry event in your hometown if your status gets you...

Spit and leather. When smoking wasn’t a felony and free matchbooks were everywhere the paper on those worked great. Then you could violate more warnings and light a cigarette with a match from a matchbook without a cover. Some people now would have an aneurysm watching what we did in my youth.

That’s how I took what you said. I don’t think they will be very quick to do that - I think we will see them ban players well before they give up. Just IMO.

I think they would be more likely to just ban players who don’t play their events because of WPA/ sponsor pressure whatever. Happens with competing tours. Always has. PGA Tour vs LIV now, rules about releases/ competing events OGA Tour vs European/DP tour etc…. Mandatory events for members of a...

I am not surprised as I talked to him in August when he came through our town. Where is the public announcement?

IMO the biggest thing holding pool back is access to the game for kids. I wanted to play pool from the first time I saw a table but never had the chance until I was old enough to drive to a pool hall without alcohol. Even those places were places there was zero chance of my parents taking me to...

Interesting about Corvette Lou. I had heard the story of Archie and Bobby Baldwin over the years. Never heard of another person. A bit of googling was interesting. What turns up doesn’t get you into the details of what was happening but is still interesting. RIP to both

Have you tried it? I did a while back when I saw the video. It works at least to a degree. Why? Because of deflection. Of course the cue ball has to go to the left if you hit it on the right. How can that be wrong? The catch is how much deflection you are getting with your shaft, your...

Way less performance difference between wood and cf shafts than persimmon vs a new driver IMO.
