    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    Interesting to read the comments on this. The truth is not everyone can appreciate a well written haiku and its simple, subtle, insightful lines; or maybe see the light in a Sargent portrait; or just be able to know that you don't know what you don't know. But do you know what? If you're a...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    We’ll have to disagree. For the tyros you are describing they’re ordering white or red wine. The nuances of a fine vintage are lost on them. It’s just wine. Lou Figueroa

    A Musing on Improving as a Pool Player

    First off, I don’t believe that your outcomes, 9ball v 1pocket, mean much given you’re out in the boonies. Unless your opponent starts watching a ton of 1pocket videos and dedicates himself to learning it you will always prevail (or should). And since you are not practicing the chances of you...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    I don’t know about “a lot.” But I have played with them and wasn’t impressed. Going back some, I’m always happy to at least try new tech and owned a couple of the first generation 314s. Like I said, I think for most guys wood is fine. Lou Figueroa

    Quick super billiards expo review

    I I played at HT and it never struck me as a money maker given its size, general condition, and SoCal rents. And no, I have never wanted to own a pool room, lol. In any case, as I’ve said, from what I’ve seen I believe a pool room can be profitable. You don’t need to look at the books, you...

    Quick super billiards expo review

    Well, I’m seeing somewhat the opposite. I think the 7’ tables, in conjunction with Fargo themed tournaments, are drawing a ton of players. Enough to subsidized 9’ action and events. Lou Figueroa

    You need to get out more. The model has changed somewhat but there are many profitable rooms in action. I have been to them. Lou Figueroa

    "It's the Indian, not the arrow" the most nonsense I've ever heard.....

    Most professional players at any sport will disagreee. That's why, while they may be sponsored by manufacturers that mass produce cues, pros get their cues tweaked to their personal specs. Lou Figueroa

    "It's the Indian, not the arrow" the most nonsense I've ever heard.....

    Give it a rest -- anyone who can play has done this. It does not prove your point, lol. Knew I was going over to a neighbors house with a home style table, practiced the setup of a few trick shots, went over and had everyone thinking I was Minnesota Fats. Lou Figueroa

    "It's the Indian, not the arrow" the most nonsense I've ever heard.....

    How well do you play? IOWs, what level Indian are you? If you're so bad you get shot in the first reel, thats one thing -- you're not capable of telilng the difference between arrows if you're a lousy player. If you're good enough of an Indian to still be standing with the Lone Ranger at...

    Buffs 3 Closing Down

    Played there a couple of years ago. Stained tables that hadn't been brushed in eons. Temporary plastic sign outside. I think it was doomed from the outset. Lou Figueroa
