A nice welcome, so thanks to all. I will definitely have a look at Pat's lessons. I've also read Dana's multi-year goal of making the point equivalent of his age, which I thought was a neat way to stay motivated. I am not able to put in nearly as much time on a table as I'd like, so I'll have...

Hi gang, I'm new to 14.1, and AzBilliards, for that matter. I've been on a pool hiatus for a number of years and recently have made time to get back on a table. I mostly play snooker, but a few weeks ago I decided to have a go at some 14.1 and have really been enjoying it. My...

I agree with other posters asserting that it 'isn't just the money'. For what my opinion is worth, I think we (as a Western society) are seeing cultural shifts in priority when it comes to the lay public being entertained by sport. I don't want to veer the discussion too far into the semantics...

Toronto does seem like the logical place to be, if you want top-end pro action. As mentioned, Montreal is a good bet, too. You'll find action pretty much anywhere you want to look for it, even in Saskatoon. Having lived there for a number of years, I encounted players that were ruthless...

And the halo-halo, not to mention the weather.

In terms of pool players, I'd very much like to spend a day being instructed by someone like Niels Feijen or Oliver Ortmann. For snooker, Stephen Hendry or Terry Griffiths.

Granted, but you'd think that someone promoting a product might make an effort to appear coherent (or, gasp, professional). The post I quoted looks like a text from an 11-year old cranked up on energy drinks.

Should potential buyers expect the cues to be of the same quality as your posting skills?

Mostly agree, and, in my experience, those who regularly post high breaks tend to be attacking players. At times, this same aggressiveness can create positional problems when getting into a safety battle, but for those who can pot their way out of trouble, not such an issue. At any rate, OP...
