    Mexico Open, April 16-20, 2024

    I’m really enjoying this. It’s not the marquee event, but have seen some flashes of stellar play. Love seeing the different approaches and trying to notice commonalities. If this is what qualifiers for Matchroom events look like in a few years, I’llbe pretty stinking’ pumped up for it.

    Mexico Open, April 16-20, 2024

    Ain’t that the screaming shpits. I’ve been watching this for two days now and thought that the green table cloth said Royal Pro Billiard “Club” not “Cloth”. Where’s my brain? Thinking, dang that club needs to pass around a plate and raise some money to get some carpet squares ‘round the...

    Cypress Hill was so great though. Once again the powers of the herb open up the mind.

    Is Kansas cool? I never thought so. My father in law complains about every song that I play in the shop… PERIOD! He freaking loves Kansas! Yet he never shares what songs. This must be the one; the message still seems pertinent today! Edit: Holee Schmidt! I just listened to this again after I...

    Anybody tried this ball set

    Thank you baby Jesus for helping this honky see the light! I think Dynasphere is in the middle of a rebrand where they change the names of the sets and raise prices. As Rich stated, the Tungsten’s are a great set. All of those sets priced from low to high are made of the same stuff. They may...

    Anybody tried this ball set

    These two quotes were spread out over more than a 12 hour period. In between this time, the voices of reason were given and you acted like you understood. Then…. Where did you go? Cheap is not always good. I bought a cheap set of polyester resin balls once because I thought they looked...

    Lost and Found….Minnesota Fats movie

    Watched it this afternoon. 9 ball, 1 pocket and straight pool all get a little love. Talking out my rear here, but isn’t any piece of art a reflection of the time it was made? 1971: 14.1 starting to die down and 9 ball making a rise. Anyone who lived it, love to hear about it. I liked the push...

    What the pros do differently ...

    Dagnabbit! My bad. You got me thinking bout too much tension making things hard to be repeatable. Wrote some junk about relaxed being easier to drop in the right slot and stroke without pulling offline. Bout to fall asleep and musta highlighted and erased most of it before posting. Party on!

    Playing Under the Influence

    That’s how it happens, Livin’ life by the drop. No wasting time we’re alive today, Churnin’ up the past there’s no easier way Times come between us, A means to an end God it’s good to be walkin’ together my friend.

    What the pros do differently ...

    Hack here, so grain of salt. I think your grip can be whatever it is, as long as it is consistent throughout the stroke. You don’t want to tighten up before impact and cause the tip to move. It’s easier to notice the tightening when you are loose to begin with, which is where I believe the...

    Playing Under the Influence

    Read me my rights, as if I didn’t know this Threw me in the tank with a drunk called Otis. With his five o’clock shadow, He smelled of three day old beer. My man looked at me and said; “why are you here?”

    Playing Under the Influence

    In my extensive experience in jackassery, I have found nothing is as stealth as I thought it was. For example, I can vividly remember wanting to wake and bake before school, but not wanting to smoke outside while waiting for the bus. My solution was to wrap rubber bands around toilet paper...

    Pool items you think of that won’t ever be made

    I like this: The nail in the coffin! He’s heating up! Boom Shaka-laka! Or remember the NFL films voiced by John Facenda?: He growls as he runs the table. A villain big and bold. The fish they shake, And quiver and quake. As he robs them of their gold. The Autumn Wind’s a rack runner...
