I saw Franciso Galindo vs. Keith McCready for 20K, ten ahead. Lasted all night. I was only 15 at the time, so I couldn't stay for the whole match, but what I did see was pretty entertaining.

pool or a specific pool player? In all my years of watching the network, I've never seen the slightest mention of any billiard sport or player on Sportscenter, Outside the Lines, etc. I think I read Danny Basavich was interviewed on First Take, but I didn't catch it. Besides, that's a fringe...

Here's my review of Chalk. Included is a link to the film'site where you can buy it: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=90994

"The Color of Money." No, not a remake of Scorsese's film, but a film that remains faithful to the book. For those who haven't read it or might not know, Scorsese's film is a completely different story altogether. In Tevis's book, there's no Vincent, Carmen, or Grady Seasons. Eddie is not a...

Cool. This film deserves more exposure. Besides it being about pool, it's a good film in general. I know a few posters on here didn't like it. Freddy the Beard called it a piece of "caca", lol. It's not for everyone. Not being a film snob here, but films like these are an acquired taste. If...

http://www.chalkfilm.org/ Not all. The pool scenes are quite realistic, even going as far as detailing strategies behind safety play. Mike Massey makes a small cameo as well. The credits listed Keith McCready and Ronnie Allen, but I didn't catch them. Tony Annigoni was a consultant on the film...

Just got in yesterday and finished watching it about an hour ago. Better than I thought. First off, this is a bare-bones independent production and it won't be for everyone. For the film buffs out there, think Cassavetes, Larry Clark, early Scorsese, and early Altman. It's rough, gritty...

What a deadbeat. Nothing aggravates me more than people who don't pay their debts, especially a relatively small one such as this. It's insulting to one's intelligence to hear his run around about how he can't or won't pay. Even if he did get laid off, if he was truly determined, he could...

Funny story about Haggis...

Pool playing glasses: http://www.billiard-eyeglasses.com/

Do instructors consider aiming and sighting the same thing? When I miss, it's usually do to sighting. For example, I usually have problems with long straight in draw shots. I determined my stroke was fine, but I had an issue with falling in line. It's not an aiming issue, since the aim point is...

Hi Debbie. Check your PMs. Anyhow, you'd be far-sighted if you can see long shots clearly and near-shots are blurry. I can read super small print without glasses, but the TV is a blur even if I'm only a few feet away. But yeah, play without glasses as much as you can. Until today, I...

Funny thing happened tonight. In my practice sessions, I usually devote some time to this shot, hitting it around 50 times. Since I've picked up the game again in Nov., I haven't enjoyed any kind of consistency with it. It's a sighting problem that has been hard for me to correct. I aim by...

It's like trying to define quality. What is quality? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia

I'd normally get involved in an intellectual conversation like this, but pool and this forum have taken up all my reading time :)

When I lose to less a skilled player who I obviously know is not on the stall, like a friend or a regular, it's often the result of their misses turning into lucky safes or the injustice of them leaving me kick at my last ball in the kitchen after they've scratched. I take losing at Barbox...

Were you drinking? And she said, in those exact words, "It's okay. I shoot pro. I don't know what you play?" What on earth did she mean by that? I understand she believes she's a pro level player, but what the hell does the second phrase mean? Ahh Bangers. Don't beat yourself up, we all lose...

Lol. Yeah, he's hopelessly rigid and lacks the ability to consider that sometimes you can combine things that are at first incompatible and arrive at a successful end result.
