    Central Indiana APA tables

    Steve, it was indeed a pleasure to pay on nice equipment. I really liked the cyclops balls as well although I did get to see first hand what skids were. I've said plenty to the manager at Kips. You think they're going to invest in 14 new tables when they won't even clean the ones they have...

    Pool on TV Alert: 2014 Women's Tournament of Champions

    Allison needs to take a time out after sinking the 6 with the miscue, still getting shape on the 7 and miraculously avoiding the scratch after sinking the 8 and colliding with the 9, and go buy a lottery ticket.

    At what point is smoking bad for business?

    I'm a cigar smoker. If I were to open a pool hall or pool intensive bar today, my business decision would be to make it non smoking. Now that is rather irrelevant because if I were making a sound business decision, a pool related business wouldn't be where I'd invest my money.

    Final Thoughts on 2014 Mosconi Cup

    Silly argument. In any given week, there's five to seven players who could be considered strong possibilities to won a big tournament. Daz and Shane are clearly in that group. To argue further than that makes no sense.

    New OB plus shaft question

    The Everest tip sucks. I changed to the Ki-Tech soft and all is good.

    What Does The Public Really Want?

    If you want something to stimulate TV visit, having characters, antics, hustling, etc would likely sell. However, that's not necessarily something that would promote pool. That same Mother who enjoys the show may also see that as reason to never let her husband or children play. Interesting...

    Ronnie's Head Doctor - Dr. Steve - The Chimp Paradox

    Have you read the book? What did you think? Hoe did it help you personally, professionally and with your pool game? Looks interesting, I'll try to pick up a copy? I assume Amazon carries it?

    Mark Wilson is GREAT

    Why spend one second second guessing his selections? Would anybody question selecting Shane? Of course not. However, if it was known he was going to play the way he has, he'd have been left at home. Consider this. If Shane had played like the best player in the world instead of how he has, you...

    A Message to Matchroom - Fix These Six Things Please

    The stats don't support a problem with the tables or the rack. More importantly, both teams are playing on the same table and using the same racking rules. If the rack is so important, perhaps the USA players need to spend some time practicing their lagging skills. I agree on the other...

    Bullseye Billiards Instructional Game

    I received mine last Friday, here's a brief review. There are a number of shots the same or similar to Target Pool. However, plenty of new shots. The full and half targets are made of a satin type material. Makes it a little tough to position, as it is flimsy, but if you take the time to...

    What size tip for a C or D player

    IMHO, you should be considering a LD shaft and from my own evaluation, I highly recommend OB. I personally prefer the OB2+ which is 11.75 mm. They also offer 12.75 mm and I believe they have a "fat" shaft as well. You should try to hit a few shots with the different sizes to determine what...

    Mosconi Cup Unpicked Players Bail Out

    Do you think he'll choose JB as an assistant coach?

    Talk Crap to Darren Appleton Thread

    I think the OP was just looking for some fun ball busting and didn't intend anything malicious. Daz is one of my favorite players and seems like a great guy, I suspect he won't take it the wrong way. Regardless, if I'm picking any kind of team, Appleton is on it. If the USA team can manage a...

    Action one pocket match controversary

    There seems to be all kinds of common sense reasons for requiring the ball to called frozen before each shot. The most common sense reason of all is it would be the best way to avoid an ensuing argument. I don't have a horse in this race and am simply being objective. I also don't see any...

    for begginer in pool/billiards

    1. Very good advice from Pidge. 2. Ignore duckie if you have any hopes of ever being a good pool player. 3. Buy Mark Wilson's book. It is far and away the best pool instructional material on the planet. 4. Take some lessons from a qualified instructor. 5. Practice. Pool is an incredibly...

    U.S. Chances in the Mosconi Cup

    Team USA wins 11-9. If it were played at a neutral site, it wouldn't be that close.

    On The Road Again with Perfect Aim....

    Gene, God bless you! If I had the day you did, I'm not sure I could have held it together. With the injury I suffered, I can relate to the pain you're suffering and then some. Hang in there Gene, it will get better.

    Bullseye Billiards Instructional Game

    Russ, we'll just have to agree to disagree which is fine. I'm sure at some point, someone will sell theirs in the for sale room, maybe you'll be able to pick one up cheap.

    Bullseye Billiards Instructional Game

    You obviously have no clue what it takes to get products produced in relatively low volume. Even if he were getting 5,000 to 10,000 made, which I'm fairly sure he didn't do, it would still be a struggle to break even at $30. Go visit a printer and get pricing on what the manual for this product...
