The google theme for today is celebrating 3 c billiards star Masako Katsura. Pretty cool!

I think most that play in the states use a break cue. With the advent of the racking templates, using power isn't needed. Most tournaments and leagues that I play we still use a standard rack so hitting the break with power is sometimes needed. It's good to have the right tool for the right job...

That's terrible news. I had the privilege to watch him gamble in Olathe years ago and got to play him in a New Years Day tournament in Chanute KS just last year. Nice guy and good player. RIP "Driller"

Good point, but I'm guessing that they don't want to go down that road again. So any future sponsored players are paying for Earl's sins.

Billy made a mistake that happened to be caught on stream. I've personally witnessed a few times involving a some pretty well known players that if recorded would have been this damaging and even worse. The issue is that today, everyone has a video camera in their pocket and this was being...

I'm giving Jay props on this. I went and played in the 2010 US Open as a bucket list item. I was in the stands watching an Earl match. Earl kept turning around and interacting with the fans in the stands. Of course the crowd egged Earl on and it was a constant back and forth while his opponent...

I bought one of his new soft leather 2x4 cases and love it. It's stylish and non descript. It's not cheap but nice.

It's been my experience that new tournaments and leagues will have growing pains. The few times I went to a "new" event and invested time and money they all had issues. Hence, I'm leery trying out new tournaments from past experience. I hope the best for the NBL and it looks well thought out and...

Phil Capelle brought up the term shot picture in one if his books (I think Play your Best Pool). When I did some instruction, I used this term when working on aiming. I always mention that there are several methods to aim but I still believe that most top players aim by experience and "see" the...

You got it, info sent. Thanks, Darryl

Cool beans, I would love a shot at a pass to watch SVB beat up on Dennis :)

Meh.....people like to b*tch in general and throw in the anonymity of the internet Katy bar the door.

It reminds me of Joe Tuckers 3rd eye training tool. It possibly could help train players to hit the center of the cue ball. 35 seems a bit high :) wonder if it includes shipping and handling?

I didn't know him but have heard his name before. Here is his obituary. He was 65. The second link is of him playing in the Andy Mercer tournament in 2015. May he RIP. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/north-hollywood-ca/daniel-petralba-9305057 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=362UsLaJ-hQ

One owner and smoke free home, hmmmm........

Jay, There are more photo's that def include Grady and Gerry. Just use the slider on the bottom to see the other pics.

Yep Steve Mc is in the visor and the last photo same row with the guy squinting I'm pretty sure is Jon Kucharo.

I'll take a shot at it :) 1) Ask the question is your stroke is repeatable? Can you hit the center of the cue ball at different speeds and still hit the center? If yes don't sweat the elbow. Beginning players should be taught to a pendulum swing because it's easier and just as effective as the...

I agree with them. I'm at 650ish on the Fargo scale and can beat the ghost on a bar table, break even on a bigger pocketed 9 foot, and can't quite get there on a tougher 9 footer.
