May 1st, 1919 The State of Texas Bans ALL pool halls from existence :frown: (ironically in chapter "8") read the whole law here: https://books.google.com/books?id=SyNOAQAAIAAJ&dq=texas%20billiard%20law%201919&pg=PA2196#v=onepage&q&f=false

I do have a running file on K&H, but so far, I have seen nothing to indicate that they actually manufactured their own cues. To the contrary, it appears that they were, at least at one time, simply a supply house, with other manufacturers supplying their wares. I'm not saying they...

During taping it was called Rocket Ronnie’s American Hustle*.... But that is certainly subject to change.... They filmed in 4 different cities (NY, CHI, MPHS, SF) but they were not super clear about how many episodes it would end up being. Probably only 4. I'm not allowed to tell you anything...

Good call on Briggs....I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting. I'll also have to double check to see if Balke or Collender were producing cues as well. Here's an 1897 Briggs catalog that mentions their (cue) production and repair facility...

I don't often tell men that I like their balls. But sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due.. :) Those are some nice balls Mr. Pureza

Omg you guys totally missed my nerd joke lol The max rep points number is also " the freaky " phone number ....look it up :cool:

When you get enough points, call this number 214 748 3647 :D Ask for the special rep points dept.

It IS fun! because Glen gets all frothy around the mouth. He's a very passionate man God bless him. ABR is: americanbilliardradio.com See also: Chicagobilliardmuseum.org

I commented on this thread simply to point out that "all" pool is not doomed, despite the popular trend of believing ( and saying) that it is. I did not comment with the intent of debating the how and why with you ( Glen) or anyone else, because there is no point. If you have something else...

Just like anyone else? You're right Glen . We're all blind. All of us but you. Ivan Lee.....just a hack. Skip Nemecek ...just a hack Mike Panozzo ....just a wannabee. Mike Howerton, Mark Cantrill, Jerry Forsyth .....just a bunch a dreamers. All 200+ of the guests on ABR....every one just...

Glen if you are half as intelligent as you constantly brag about being, then you already know that in Chicago we know exactly what's going on in the pool world, and don't need a furniture repairman to explain anything. But thanks though. I will however take a copy of that Dunn and Bradstreet...

Many people lump " all pool " together, and then assume that their own experiences must equate to the entire pool world (at least in the u.s.). But all pool is not the same. There's pool in private clubs, basements, garages, dens, man-caves, and even in living rooms, that has nothing to do...

Offer? lol You sir have a vivid imagination. Darren, Ted, William, Manny, John, Al and I are all friends. I have nothing In the world to be disgruntled about. In fact, ABR is an official partner of the WPS. Is there anything else youd like to assume about me?

Ok :rolleyes: I'll play along and rephrase the question: Can Manny, William, John and the crew handle such a large WPA SANCTIONED event with players coming in from 35 COUNTRIES across the globe. I wish them the best and have offered all the support we can muster. This could be a great stride...

Now with an official bookmaker too :wink: Who do you think will hit the ground running the fastest? Can Steinway host a world event? Can Manny deal with it? Will the staff Darren has chosen do a superb job?

Does Diamond use the same cushion and profile that you and Mark prefer for 9ft tables?

Private pool and public pool (or professional pool) are two different things. They do not depend on each other.

Ask him to explain the difference between the current Diamond cushion profile and Mark Gregory's preferred profile. It's a hoot.

I recommend looking into real statistics. You'll find that local economics vary greatly from state to state, city to city.

ditch the 9ball and you'll have a real match
