    A new pool movie perhaps, Walkway Joe ??

    I looked at the Imdb database and the pool consultant is Joey A. Pretty cool. Joey was also a pocket billiards consultant for the movie I Hate Kids according to the website.

    Top 10 SHOTS from Famous POOL MOVIES

    It looks like the shot was a setup from the beginning. The top ball isn't frozen to the two balls but instead off and frozen to second right ball to make the two rail kick shot possible. It's a little tough to see due to the camera shot being farther away.

    Hard to believe but I just watched the worst pool movie ever

    Most movies about pool are going to be disappointing to serious players as the pool scenes usually are some form of a trick shot or something really basic. But, I will always have a soft spot for movies with pool and will at least watch them. I remember seeing the Baron and the Kid as a kid as...

    Who wrote the little black book?

    Popcorn has been living in St. Joseph Missouri area for the last several years. I'll occasionally run into him at a tournament. Interesting character and nice guy.

    Do you remember your first pool hall?

    My first exposure to a pool room would be the tables at arcades. But, once I hit 16 and could drive, I went to Raytown Rec in the KC area and that was my first real "poolroom". It's still there and pretty much the same as the first time I went in some 34 years earlier.

    Postive Covid19 Test at CSI / BCAPL event

    I did a little digging and they aren't sure that it was pool players or even if they came from Vegas. If you go to the group Calgary Pool Scene on facebook you can see the back and forth about where the initial report came from. Just as an FYI

    Stroke error

    Does the layered tip have a pad? If yes, then it's not your stroke but if no pad then it's a stroking issue.

    Top 10 Mental Aspects of Pool

    Excellent video Dr. Dave. There are several good idea's from general sports psychology. One of my weaknesses is focusing on every shot. A great player from my area would play the same regardless if was for tap water, gambling, or tournament play. I have a hard time focusing very long during...

    Richie Ambrose... RIP???

    I met Richie in Vegas 15 years ago or so at the BCA tournament. I was playing low limit craps across the street from the Riviera at Circus Circus. Playing the pass line and making two come bets with double odds. This gentleman approached me to explain the fallacy of my action. I disagreed with...

    I need a picture of Gary The Bushwacker Nolan

    I've always had a soft spot for the history of pool greats. I had the chance to watch Gary play a few years back at the Hopkins Expo. I noticed his name on the board and went over to watch his match. He won it easily and you can't hide a good stroke. I enjoyed watching him play and had a program...

    Mike Surber Case

    It's sad that even with video that he hasn't been caught. One thing I learned reading the article and watching the you tube video was that his stance is very unique. Hopefully, he will get caught but it doesn't look likely. Too bad they couldn't retrieve any DNA.
