Jen, I'm guessing you didn't watch the matches in question. I've played in the Andy Mercer and I've played Jimmy. His commentary may have been funny to some people. Found it to be insulting to the players and coach involved. Joined the chat and said so during the stream. Johann was brought...

Really Randy, How about the RANDOM part of the statement? Lining up all stripes or all solids sure doesn't sound random to me! I'd protest that rack. And I have!!! Lyn

Tony, Did you watch? Even for a few minutes? Johnsonville meat products is a nationally distributed product with a TV presence. Who is the biggest name sponsor American pool has? Diamond Billiard Products? Obviously Johnsonville has a target audience and Cornholing reaches it! There were...

Hey Bill, I posted the same thing on a US Open thread around 8:40 PM. Great minds think alike! Lyn

After the Allen Hopkins Expo drama, doubt if anyone else would want to deal with the State of New Jersey tax collectors :rolleyes: :p . Lyn

Happened to turn on ESPN tonight. Their featured sport is, wait one, CORNHOLING"!!! Really? Pool comes behind that? Even the spelling bee is more interesting. For me it's right up there with Horseshoes. No wonder professional caliber pool is failing. Some major sponsors would rather...

Will the Matchroom event be a WPA points event? Will Pat Fleming event be one as well? Which event will the European players attend? The Filipino's? Wonder who got the last laugh? In an age where all I hear and read is "America First", this stinks! Can not believe Mark Griffin allowed this...

So why will there be two separate events? Reads like the Behrmans and Pat could not agree on the basic operation parameters. Tournament grab? Hard feelings? Too many big egos involved? Too few players? Too many questions, just too many! Lyn

Actually, Brian does not have to be a member of the APA to play. They consider the US Amateur to be an independent event with APA sponsorship. Although he receives a massive trophy for winning and no cash prize, he does get a "free" entry into the US Open 9 Ball event worth (I believe)...

Can anyone be as blessed as me? Three times in the last six years. Would be greatly honored if I reach the finals again. Win or lose I've had a great run! Still want to show you what you inadvertently taught me while giving a lesson to another player. Travel safe my friend. Lyn

Hey Scott, look forward to seeing you at SBE. Lyn

Several years ago, Southwest Airlines "lost" my cues between Vegas and Buffalo. Purchased a Carmeli plain jane just for Vegas and leave it at the house in Vegas. Had almost every parameter changed from my daily use Schon. Different tip, ferrule, length, joint pin and joint material. The only...

Who is responsible for getting the pop corn? Lyn

Steve, As another poster said, "this thread subject has been beaten to death". Yes, NO is the answer! If you really want to proceed, take a few days and attend the Super Billiards Expo next month. Spend a few hours talking with Allen Hopkins. If, after speaking with him, you still wish to...

Frankly, I feel it is just another way the game we all love is being demeaned. Watched a match on a "live stream" a week ago. Chip Compton and Sky Woodward. They had a "discussion" about racking early in the match. When Chip fell behind, he began giving up the rack on the 5 or 6 ball...

Marek, Here is my solution to "subtle". Lyn

That is correct Chris. Race to 6. Best two of three sets. SINGLE elimination. Lyn

Brian, Great attitude about SBE. In your event, there will be over one thousand players of various abilities. Of those players entered, only sixty four will cash. If you are going on Wednesday, play in the Warm-up. Good practice and it will help you to get used to the Cyclop pool balls if...

Joe, What is your long term goal? Are you going to try to "Diamondize" your table? Do you just want to make your table "playable"? Perhaps extra challenging? If you are undecided as to your goal, make that decision first, then choose the materials next. East Ridge Billiards converted two...

One of the players at the room I play in in Rochester purchased a Revo shaft when it was first delivered. Tried it several times. He recently purchased the break version as well. The major problem I found was exactly as you described it. Can not see the tip! Found I touched the cue ball...
