    Interesting - in the Zone

    A friend sent me an email talking about golf. It does cast a shadow in billiards as well. We were talking about being in the zone. Here is the reply. "I read Dianetics <sp?> once. I remember one thing very clearly that made sense to me. He used reading as an example. If you are reading a...

    For those who do not get email updates

    IPT Announcement The International Pool Tour's Masters Championship, King of the Hill and Tour Card Tournaments are officially being rescheduled. These schedule changes are due to many factors, many relating to the Ho Interactive acquisition and financing schedule being pushed back due to...

    Wheres the announcement then?

    Do you think Deno just may not have information yet? He may be waiting just as we are? He is an employee and would be liable by the company especially if he is an officer. Giving out subjective or unconfirmed information would cause more harm to him. Just some thoughts.

    Cleaning my pool table felt?

    Go to department store and pick up a micro fiber brush after you spray with the felt cleaner. If you didn't kniow, the microfiber cloth has a positive charge and dirt has a negative one, This makes picking up the chalk and other particle very easy.

    Racking fairly

    I was told at age 19 by Arthur "Babe" Cranfield when racking balls your hands and fingers should never be ahead of any ball and definitely never on top of any ball. He also stated that dragging the rack forward causes friction which helps the balls to stay together (not sure if this really is...

    The announcement

    I think what might help is a letter from Ho and KT outlining this intent. Still no guarantee here but at least it helps substantiate a bit to the players. If by some margin this is not successful, I do believe that all is not lost. Clearly most of billiards, at least in the US, has been nothing...

    Information on Ho's IPO

    Very good point and we see it all the time. Many internet companies were sold for millions years ago and never made a penny.

    And here is KT's letter

    I think if people paid the same attentions to politics and religion look out! Just maybe this whole thing will be resolved sometime this week. My hopes and wishes are for the best because pool just needs it.

    My Visit To The IPT Office And Conversation With Deno Andrews

    Thanks Eydie. Information is so important even if it is not all positive. Your posts at least gives some rest to what is going on. I know that in buyouts employees and customers sometimes feel a little up in the air. Clearly if KT is in the process of closing the deal it is most important that...

    League Category

    I do not play in a league though have for a short time a few years back however my thoughts is; Would it be beneficial to have a forum section entitled "League Play" with the APA, BCA, TAP,.. as sub groups? Since this is a good neutral forum, to offer an area like this just might attract even...

    Now that the IPT has self-destructed....

    Were was the announcement? Also, a venture like this takes at least 2 years to get off the ground. He knows this stuff.

    Now that the IPT has self-destructed....

    Am I missing something, an announcement? I thought everyone was waiting on the deal with Ho to be signed? I do not know if this is the case or not, but if I got a letter of intent and was planning to sell the business I would not continue paying out of pocket. That responsibility would be in...

    shaft damaged on airline

    About 4 years ago I check in a pressure calibrator that had a heavy metal air pump with it (6 inch long tube). Moments after I checked it in a loud alarm went off and I saw several cops running to the back section where baggage is sorted. When I got to my destination, my baggage was a mess inside.

    shaft damaged on airline

    Just a guess - Security may have opened the case to look inside. Maybe threw it off to the side or even bumped it with something.

    Mr.Andrews, where are you?

    Can you see if I am on-line? Just curious as today I am on all day long. More than anything I want this IPT to work. The players deserve something like this, even league players too because they will end up picking up lots of sponsors. I am just hoping for the best, and it may work out quite...

    Mr.Andrews, where are you?

    Keep in mind that the IPT said they would not actively respond to forums about the IPT. Given this you should also know that he pays attention to the segment on 3 cushion billiards in a different thread. So you may think he is lurking here, he may be simply looking at questions in the 3 cushion...

    Balabushka chalk

    Hey Tommy. Probably Ray you are referrring to. He gave a piece to my son Austin. I never tried it but looking at the tip of Austin's cue it does seem to cover well. Austin is only 10 so take it as you will, he said that it does not break down into little pieces as Masters does. Also he states...
