    A great explanation on how to post images

    This is moot advice with the new Xenforo platform. However, that is a really nice thing about Xenforo -- it is very easy to add images. (y)

    Dufferin Cue Identification

    I've been playing around with a how to tool. I created a little video to explain how to add a photo. In the meantime here is a cool old poolroom image!

    Portland, Maine hall folded

    Man, there are some memories in those pics, JAM! And people no longer with us :crying: I'm seeing Ginky, Grady and Kerry -- all three gone...

    Portland, Maine hall folded

    Yes, it was. Originally the Spot Shot was down at the end of that plaza -- later moving to it's last location and I believe after being renovated after some fairly serious water damage, it became Union Station. Grady had a big One Pocket tournament there in 2000, which was kind of a One Pocket...

    RIP Marshal “squirrel” Carpenter

    That would have been his son Marshall Jr!! Squirrel is survived by two little granddaughters (among other family).

    RIP Marshal “squirrel” Carpenter

    Wow, I am so sorry to hear this :( I believe that means there is no one left from that first Johnston City tournament in 1961. Danny Di wasn't in that first one, just 14 players. He he was inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame back when the DCC was at the Executive West. He was funny as...

    Tips on improving my game without access to a pool table

    Studies have been done that show visualization practice -- just in your mind -- can be as effective or maybe more effective than physical practice. I think one of the studies people practiced their basketball free throw shooting, and if I recall correctly, those that practiced only virtually...

    The original pro football championship trphy -- pool connection

    I saw this in the NY Times -- the original pro football championship trophy from 1920 was made by Brunswick-Balke-Collender -- and it has been missing since it was first handed out!! Do one of you guys have this stashed in your pool/billiards collection...

    2019 HOF: Sullivan, Janscos and Pagulayan

    I think you mean Justin Collett of TAR. Ground breaking for sure, but Hall of Fame generally is reserved for sustained excellence -- I think the headaches of trying to do a top notch job over and over again wore on Justin, and he has pulled back in recent years. It's not an easy job for sure...

    Where is the 626?

    This is the same guy that has a video on youtube, relating this same story. In the video he goes on to say, when the 6-ball didn't fall, a couple of big guys went over to that corner and tried to wiggle the floor to induce the ball to fall, but it would not. LOL, what did they think, the run...

    Schmidty back at it, this time in CA

    Well if this thread was about tournament championships, Mosconi hands down, and John is hardly a blip in history lol. But it isn't. Just scrolling through your last handful of posts, like I said, you seem to be pretty grudging in your acknowledgement of John's accomplishment. I love you "woulda...

    When/How is Schmidt's 626 Video to be Released?

    I'm ready to pre-order now lol. I kind of like the idea of John with a few different guests -- like a 100 balls per guest. I mean about 4 hours is a fairly long time and I think a few different voices would add to the interest. Who of course depends on who was available and willing, and...

    John Schmidt has beaten Mosconi

    I'm thinking you ought to write a historical novel about Mosconi's run of 526, since you seem to have so much creative speculation about just how it went down lol :D:D

    Schmidty back at it, this time in CA

    I see you user name is mikemosconi -- are you a relative?? You say you give John his due, but you sure seem to have to add a lot of comments that are not so consistent with giving the man his due respect for blowing by a record that has stood for 60 something years. First of all, John Schmidt...
