    The Hustler > The Color of Money > ???

    True, but I loved Walken's response in the scene at the end when Joe tried to imply Uncle Mike was uncomfortable about risking $80k.

    Shaw concedes down 5-0

    DCC should do the 9ball first if they're going to make it a ranking event. That will mean all the players are unaffected by the scheduling and there will be no excuses. That division will be just like every other MR 9ball event. The way it is set up, there is an advantage to the young players...

    DCC match results?

    He was doing that last year too. TV is becoming like music. There are hundreds of ways to get it without paying for it.

    DCC Action Room

    What action did Archer get? Glad he's out hitting balls again.

    New aiming systems...

    Same. I see the lines instantly. I wonder if being taller would increase the accuracy of the lines.

    What are your favourite mental tips & tricks for competitive play?

    I keep a little troubleshooting guide on my phone. If I'm struggling, I'm not doing something on that list I should be. At this level, the fundamentals are there. Now it's execution and attitude. I do my thing when I'm at the table and use breathing techniques in the chair to lower my heart...

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    THIS. I have a 9' at home and only practice on it (maybe 4 hrs/wk). Every tournament in the area is on Diamond 7 footers. My results are on par with the local favorites who exclusively play on the bar boxes daily and are 30-50 fargo points above me. (the tournaments I play do not report games...

    Break Tip

    I bought the Komet to test it out. The tip that came on the shaft was softer than my playing tip and broke even softer. I put a Taom break tip on it and it improved a little. My normal breaker has a White Diamond on it and I love it. I may have to try one on the Komet as well before I decide...

    Rhino shaft buyers, let 'er rip.......

    Long taper for sure. I haven't seen a playing shaft but I imagine it's the same. Ordered it 12/21/23. Taom tip arrived yesterday. I'll throw it on today if I have time. Update: The Komet with a Taom break tip has much less power than the Little Monster with a White Diamond -imo. The sound...

    Rhino shaft buyers, let 'er rip.......

    I bought the Komet break cue to see how it stacks up. The tip that came on it is softer than the tip on my playing cue. It takes half the power out of the break. My Little Monster with a White Diamond tip can give it the 6 ball. I ordered a Taom break tip for it and will report back. -I don't...

    Archer and Oscar talk it out live today at 3:00 CST

    I had this playing in the background while I was working. Oscar lost money just being a part of that waste of time. He had much better things to do than listen to that BS.

    Is Shaw considered the supreme 'middle o' pocket' potter?

    As much as I cannot stand him, I will say Filler shoots as straight as anyone, ever. To me, Josh makes pool look the easiest. Not only does he fire long tough shots like they are hangers, but he does it naturally, without tiresome, robot-like mechanics.

    Thin, knock-off, Magic Ball Racks are junk

    Many tournaments in the Phoenix area provide a template rack at every table and players are required to use them. It 100% saves time. Ten seconds and the rack is good. Done. Beats the heck out of bothering my back bending over trying to get the balls to touch for a minute or more and in the...

    Thin, knock-off, Magic Ball Racks are junk

    Accu-racks are the best imo, but I've had good luck with the knock- off magic racks. I bought a pack of six maybe five years ago. No issues and I still have two of them, one still unused.

    Your Recommended Practice Drills for 9ft Table

    Be started me off with stop shots. You work your way up to the draw scratch. My best was 4 consecutive. If I tried today I'd probably only get one out of ten.

    Your Recommended Practice Drills for 9ft Table

    When I went to Bert, we did two OBs ahead and one CB., rotating positions around the table. If you're at the foot of the table. there are OBs at the two spots on the head string. Place CB on the left mark and shoot the top right ball into the pocket, drawing the CB back into the pocket. Spot an...

    Your Recommended Practice Drills for 9ft Table

    All my tables had the X worn into the cloth. My new Diamond is not being subjected to that drill. I marked different straight lines to practice the same shots. After a while, I change the angle and fan out a few degrees to not use the same spots on the table. I no longer use clear donuts for...
