So when is the billiards_watch vs. JA Barbox match?:eek: Haven't seen a full match of Easton's, so how does she stack up against: A healthy Allison Fisher? Kelly Fisher? Pia Filler? Mrs. Fedor?

Not much one can do to argue with the points made here. My opinion only, but I think the lion's share of the credit goes to matchroom, predator, and social media. Matchroom and predator have made significant $$ investments in the game and hopefully this is just the beginning of their return and...

This is a good point. THere is a guy who sits outside our local Goodwill on Tuesdays (that is when they put out the new stuff. He drives a panel truck, and will fill it up with pretty much anything, and turn around and sell the stuff on FB marketplace. Lately, the used, donated stuff at...

As a University of Alabama alum, one of our greatest, said this in '65...not underwater, but... When Joe Namath signed with the Jets he did his first press conference in New York. A smart mouthed writer asked him, "Did you major in basket weaving at Alabama"? Without batting an eye, Namath...

Saw this movie the other night. Dude looks like he is playing a cf shaft. The movie came out in 1996. When I see some CF shafts for 200 bucks, and then the big boys with their cf shafts at $500, it makes you think. Betcha I could miss just as many balls with the 1996 model as one of the fancy...

points for creativity, though.

meh...I guess if you cant get your hands on a Diamond.... :LOL: Sorry. Couldn't resist. Have a good one!

Thanks for the clarification...yes, 1 in the side...

Don't know. Just saw the YT interview and thought it was interesting. I don't know that he was even thinking MR, as he was mostly talking about template and rack your own, and specifically mentioned money matches. But even many MR matches, it seems like the wing ball is going in the side...

Just saw an interesting clip of a CJ Wiley interview. Basically said he wouldn't play 9 ball for money today because with rack your own and template racks, every top player has the break figured out...said that is the reason you don't see very many big money 9 ball matches anymore...and that...

Maybe it is the concept of a "power" follow that needs to be clarified or elaborated on. When I think of a "power" follow, I am thinking of a firmly struck cue ball that has a visible moment after contact where it stops, maybe hops back a split second, and then takes off forward. I agree that...

couldnt make me any worse...sign me up

Touche'. You make some great counter-points. I especially like the Chiefs and yankees comparisons, as I would venture that there is a sizeable percentage of folks tuning in to watch in the hopes of seeing them lose. I know I was a huge Eagles fan this Super Bowl, just because I wanted the Chiefs...

I don't know if I buy it that great pool sells to casual fans, which I am assuming MR is hoping to attract and are necessary to continue growth. Even with the most watched sport in our country, the NFL, everyone knows that channels change and folks start tuning out during blow outs. It is why...

Am I remembering correctly that they also faced each other as Juniors multiple times as well? If so, that would add an extra layer of spice to the rivalry. Longevity can also add to the lore of rivalry. Even if they don't meet in the finals of the majority of tourneys, if they are still...

That still would not explain the different findings of an MRI, which are commonly used to image soft tissue such, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, etc. A big disk seen on MRI COULD look completely different a week or two later. I have seen impingements where the underlying scoliosis was a...

And more importantly, are the 5 balls orange?

Agreed- Especially if he had treatment and therapy...

In his post he specifically states that he has "better connections" in Russia. That can mean many things. Maybe he has a family member, friend, neighbor, etc. who is a physician. Being cared for by someone with a personal stake in making sure you are taken care of makes a huge difference...

I am very far from any type of reseller, but I did have a student once (preCovid) who started an ebay store the day he turned 16 and got his driver's license. From his 10th grade year to graduation he did very well. He was even interviewed by the local online paper. A couple of tips he mentioned...
