Why do you even open these threads, John? You just have to discourage other people to make yourself feel better? It's not impossible to have a nationwide rating system. You wanna know the biggest problem? Half the people out there think they're God's gift to pool. Everybody has the "perfect"...

Lots of naysaying from this guy... Well, you know, the premier pool forum is AZbilliards or Arizona billiards. Arizona also has the most organized statewide ranking system I've ever seen; even the guy who played that one time at that one bar has a rating. Maybe the rest of the country should...

Pool was on espn...it didn't work. It was disorganized, there was no tour so there were no stakes for the people at home. Nobody even knew the rules of the game. So nobody watched. If nobody watches, then nobody buys advertising.

Yup...and I killed that category!!

LMAO...who's the democrat?? "Eh...no problem. Just let the rich guys handle it." Those companies don't make billions of dollars by throwing money away. Seems a little backwards. You actually have to sell them something. That's what the OP was about.

Coming from a solid C player...Option 2 sucks!! I'm one of those guys who is perennially stuck on the bubble. Sometimes I cash, and sometimes I don't. But every once in awhile, I play great and win. Then I get my winnings....WTF!!! I just played the best pool of my life and I made $40 more than...

Aw hell, why not Mr. Medina has action in Colorado Springs. I hear he snapped off that tournament last weekend against a tough field, so 7 and the breaks should be reasonable.

I'm gonna start a club: "Busted...because I went off"

Depends on the tournament/league rules. Usually the break switches to the opposite player. BIH before the rack is broken is pointless.

Played a local tournament last week at $1/game. Placed 7th/8th. After the $25 entry and about $50 in quarters, I "cashed" for $5. 9th-12th paid $50 and would have saved some $5 in quarters. 13th-16th paid $30 and would have saved some $10 in quarters. 5th-6th paid $100 and would have added about...

"Frost admits he went off at the craps table. Apologizes to Dippy." "Drew, I'm ready to play some 9ball." by 9ballpaul

I'd just like to officially say thank you to Kurzweils Country Meats for this weekend's TAR22 broadcast. You have earned yourself a new customer. Thank you

With the exception of golf, all the category 2 sports include a target in motion. It takes a fair amount of accuracy to swing a bat and hit a ball. That's why batters look at the ball. Put the ball on a tee, and an accomplished batter can hit it with his eyes closed. The category 1 sports all...

Yeah...I'm a AAA player. But when I gamble, I'm only a D player.

Stop crushing the rack. Break around 23mph and results will be better.

8ball....break from the center of the table.

Suppose I use a tight closed bridge (with my hand, not mechanical) at 4", I imagine this would significantly increase squirt as the cue cannot pivot with such a stable support as a closed bridge.

What if you shoot with a 4" bridge? I disagree. As the tip gets shorter--from wearing down and/or plastic compression--your bridge moves down the shaft, replacing the few millimeters of leather with a few millimeters of maple. I would think the difference in density between the leather and the...

Those tables play as good as any in the state. I'll be hitting some balls at Antiques in about an hour.

Then there are things that only pool gamblers would understand...like "John's gettin the orange crush. 9 ahead for a dime." Then there are things you might have to double-take. "You got the call 6, wild 7, last 4, and the crackles for whatever you want." Then there are things only the pool...
