Some APA league operators offer Super 30. Team skill limit of 30 instead of 23. This league product has no road to Nationals in Las Vegas, and only offered as a cash league. A common issue I find is some people their their local APA experience, and assume it system wide. I played in 3 APA...

APA handicaps geared towards beginners & amateurs. You're falling into a common misconception people have about SL 7 & SL 9. It doesn't represent pro speed, it simply means the handicap range tops out, and stops measuring once you get to the terminal handicap level.

It's a week away, did they release the players list yet?

Which is why CSI & Predator incorporated the suggestions made by consultants, and heed the advice from executives who are responsible for getting those other 'sports' on TV.

When the BCA leagues were sold to CSI, it's my understanding a faction broke away and formed ACS. Not familar with the Canadian amateur league scene, but if ACS has a strong presence in Ontario stemming from historical BCA leagues, then some of the comments makes sense in context (posting from...

In North America Predator is not producing these events alone. They partnered with CSI, and locations are picked where CSI have BCA league presence, and to support the local CSI/BCA league operators. If you look at past Pro events, they are concurrently run with CSI amateur state and regional...

The evidence is clear why Matchroom events sell out in mere hours. Win 2 matches, and you get some money back. That helps defray costs.

Gotham is another place I recommend in Brooklyn. They don't have a full bar, but do have beer and wine license. All the 9 foot tables are 1 piece slate Diamond. Their front two tables, one is tight pocket, are available for 1080p streaming to your Facebook, Youtube or other popular channels.

According to Tony Robles, he found an old video that was made by Rebo Studios in 1993. Young Frankie Hernandez, Tony Robles with a moustache, Jeanette Lee, Gene Nagy, Cisero and others.

You are correct, Predator is the main sponsor of this professional tournament series, but in North America they're not producing these events alone. They partnered with CSI to produced these events. Locations are picked where CSI have BCA league presence, and to support the local CSI/BCA...

For all the complaints about Predator, it's forcing others to step up. I guarantee you, if Predator stops sponsoring tournaments, don't be surprised if Matchroom scales down their prize money back to the pre-Predator sponsorship days. Don't take these tournaments for granted.

Got an e-mail a couple of days ago from my league director. Thorsten Holmann was going to give clinics for the next three weeks at Amsterdam. One in each discipline of 14.1, 8-ball, and 9-ball. I immediately signed up. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as due to the overwhelming popularity...

Sounds like the typical person who doesn't value taking advice or lessons. My poolhall is offering free clinics for league members with Thorsten. This Friday he's going to cover 14.1, next week is 8-ball, and final week is 9-ball. 'll be there tomorrow and think it should be a full house, but...

Yep, my cueball control isn't that great. So, it's easy to apply unintentional spin. FWIW, picked up a Kersenbrock and Franklin era SW shaft for less than the price of a new LD carbon fiber shaft.

Talk to Thorsten Holmann. He is the house pro at Amsterdam Billiards and I often see him teaching with a projector system.

The cloth is available, you can find it marketed as Predator Arcadia. The 9 foot tables have been showecased since August 2021, when they started the US Pro Series with CSI. This year, they debut Predator branded 3 cushion tables at the 3 Cushion World Cup and now 7 foot tables.

That was true when Predator brought out the 9 foot tables. As of Tuscon stop in January 22, all the ones I've seen have been 1 piece slate, transported on dollies. Except for attaching/detaching legs, it pretty much comes assembled. As for levelling, in Las Vegas, I saw many new faces...

Pool halls were not open during COVID lockdown, so home tables orders are driving the demand. I was told Diamond is at capacity, and supply side issues, which is why it's taking up to 9 months. If anyone in near the NYC area is looking for a used 7' Diamond. Gotham Billiards has one forsale...

I was told slate can bow.
