    Aramith Tournament Pro Cup TV, with the white CB and stripes.

    Fedor Gorst nominated for Mosconi CUP Team USA!

    Correction: They spent time and money "chasing 4th/5th place", because they don't, and likely never did, play well enough to guarantee 1st/2nd/3rd. SVB and Skylar had 1st/2nd locked up LONNNNNGG before Fedor got picked, and literally no other American "pro" ever had a chance at taking those...

    Felt recommendation for unbranded ball polisher

    Hey all, just got a new set of balls, and need to replace the felt for my unbranded ball polisher, that holds all 16 balls at once. There is a lot of dirt/particles in it currently, and I don't want to polish my new (Duramith) ball set until I replace the felt on the disc, and the holes. I read...

    John Henderson......health notice

    Yeah, sorry about that. Been awhile since I went through either book thoroughly... Your shot was even more nuts, as it prolly pushed a good portion of the rack to his side of the table..... 😁

    John Henderson......health notice

    I think a few details of the match were in one of the Eddie Robin books. I believe Jay was slightly hooked behind the stack on the ball nearest Jimmy's pocket, and decided to jump over the edge of the stack, ended up banking the ball straight in his hole, and Jay played well the rest of the...

    Proof reading is highly overrated

    Okay, first of all, I don't need to "believe" anything. I have known Eric (easy-e) for years, and played him again just before I moved to Germany, and he plays 650 speed, if not a little better. Second, I have also played in tournaments with Brady Gollan way back in the day in the Northwest...

    Fedor Gorst nominated for Mosconi CUP Team USA!

    Yeah, apart from the whole "being drafted to go fight a war in Ukraine to boost Putin's ego", it's a great place.

    Proof reading is highly overrated

    I believe he is. If not 650, very close.

    SJM – My Thoughts on WPA’s Actions

    You shouldn't encourage him. Literally every single post he makes is trolling. You can't take anything he says seriously. Best just to ignore him.

    Matchroom WNT Ranking event-Peri 9 Ball Open 2023 (Oct 5-9) , Hanoi Vietnam, Winner $25K

    He won't see this, as he ignores me, but he is just that type of dude. Some people's chirrens think that making fun of foreign names is hilarious, for whatever reason. Just know that all Americans are not like that. And to whomever said that Phuc Luong "would be used to it by now".. Eh.. I...

    The positive thing about this? Most of them speak REAL good english! :D:cool::LOL::ROFLMAO: (As opposed to here in Germany, where it is a bit tough to find a good english speaking teacher near me...)

    WPA bans......................

    I wouldn't be so sure. The original WPA statement kinda insinuated that the punishment would come immediately, and now there is a 4 month grace period? Smells to me like WPA knows that the players with the best chance of cashing high in Matchroom events will tell the WPA to get farked, so the...

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    Oh, please. Diamonds became the standard because they had the wherewithall to host a tournament series that paid out a LOT of money to the top players, and the players were chasing that money. Those players would have played on 30 year old Gandy Big Gs with kindergarten felt and 5 inch pockets...

    SJM Final Thoughts on the 2023 US Open

    "Forcing" promoters to do what the players want, eh? Yeah.. Because players have done SUCH a good job in recent decades of promoting the game, eh? Players think the best way to "grow" the game is "Pay me more, biatches!" Most players don't have even the smallest clue as to how to promote the...

    Did the cue market fall apart?

    Something we finally very much agree with. The pool cue collector market is very much older dudes from The Hustler, and The Color of Money heydays, and younger players are more interested in performance over aesthetics/collectability, and as such, we could expect the market to fall slowly but...

    Cue Ball reaction after impacting a rail.

    Skid causes the CB to "cling" to the OB as it is pushed forward or at an angle, which "drags" the tangent line slightly forward with the movement of the balls. Bob Jewett, is this a good description of what happens with a skid?
