    Break Cue queries

    I don't think you two are talking about the same thing. I assume JL is referring to the Willard Tipping Machine -which you won't be carrying around in your bag.

    Waste of money pool items

    If the table formed small divots? They sent one to Bert for his endorsement and he hated it (originally). The instructions were to wet and tap down the balls, creating divots to keep them in place. The whole push-down thing was the gimmick because the balls were already settled into position...

    More chalk talk

    I picked up a V10 ($20) in Feb of this year. Two months ago, a buddy had one he wasn't using so I paid $10 for that one. The 1st piece is about 80+% gone and it is always in my case for when I play away from home. The 2nd piece is still 90+% and is only used on my home table. I would guess I get...

    Chris Reinhold vs Chris Robinson race to 70

    He was down 15 a little into day 2. He then took the lead 69-67 iirc. We posted it in this thread in real time.

    McMinn vs. Reinhold.... 30K.... 16th-17th

    I want to see more matches like this on the 9 footers. High stakes money games to keep our top players sharp and focused under pressure. Top 20 US players need this sort of action to hone their games. The next group below them need this action to develop. Great match fellas.

    Rhino CF shafts....159bux, free ship

    Buddy bought the playing shaft and said it plays exactly like his revo but has a different sound. He put a different tip on it now and is trying it for breaking duty.

    Does playing pool make you smarter?

    If it does, I must be an anomaly. I sure as heck should be smarter than this, with the time I've spent at the tables.

    Rhino CF shafts....159bux, free ship

    I've never clicked a link or even spoke of this shaft and the ads for it are popping up everywhere for me. Zuckadick must be a shareholder. I hope they play great and hold up for everyone.

    USA vs Europe: past, present, and future

    It really comes down to money, once again. 25 years ago, I told the young players at the pool hall to quit immediately when they asked how they could get up to my level (probably 600 fargo back then if it existed). I maxed out at what would have been perhaps 650-675 speed, but that never paid...

    Rasson Table/Mosconi Cup

    Something similar happened on a diamond at the UK open when Shane played Skyler. In rack 8, Shane rifled a ball into a corner pocket that jumped out but landed back into the same pocket. I don't know if, or how many balls were in the pocket at the time.

    MOSCONI CUP 2023 AZB Watch Party / Master Thread

    You want to back Josh Roberts against Wolford, I'll back Shane. I wanted Oscar on the team but Wolford showed me some things that have me thinking he should be back. If the MC was 1P, Josh would be on the team. I truly hope Josh gets motivated to play more 9ball. He's a great player. He's...

    I'd like to ask a favor of Europe, to keep Shaw over there forever.

    MOSCONI CUP 2023 AZB Watch Party / Master Thread

    Shane gambles. I don't think he's out there hustling amateurs, but he has always played for money. The cash could have been decided before the match of course, but it's happening. In fact, I think there was a joke going around because at the time of the 60 minutes thing reporting "doesn't...

    MOSCONI CUP 2023 AZB Watch Party / Master Thread

    It's about the money. A local hall had 1, 9' and maybe 7 bar boxes. They remodeled and went to 7 bar box tables and 3 dart machines (for a league), since the big table rarely saw action. They remodeled again recently and were going to go back to the way it was. Another former pool hall owner...
