This year you had record entries in all divisions, and record competition for the limited tables they can place at the Horseshoe, with several tables dedicated to Straight Pool, and of course the Big Foot from Friday through Monday. Plus I never hear it mentioned that in recent years they raised...

Mike has had a real day job for at least a year now. He plays a little casually locally here in NH where he currently lives and works, yet he has got into -- and won -- at least one fairly major tournament both 2017 and 2018, despite not competing regularly. Gotham City 1st in '17 and Super...

Now all you need is some of your digital output to be available to mesh with the cuemaker's cad machine software so it can step right into producing the parts :D:D:D

Really impressive renderings! I am assuming you are looking for feedback more about your drawings as computer art, than about the specific cue designs themselves. As I read what you posted, you are offering a digital rendering service -- so I or someone else (including cue makers) could provide...

Maybe intended to be flush -- but the steel components still do not tend to sit flush, in the new GC's I have seen around me. Poor machining details between the rails and steel parts -- who knows -- possibly not even made in the same country, let alone the same plant! Diamonds always flush and...

The Brunswick tables as far as I know still have steel corners -- that can have real sharp edges to scratch your cue. The Diamonds have leather there -- nice and smooth.

I don't think John is quite there yet -- but he's not far off!!

Someone literally just plunked this set down in front of me lol. The set is complete but not in original box. The logos seem to be decals with small wear at some of them

Interesting conversation! A lot of pool photography is kind of "dictated" to a degree by the conditions, and the relatively repetitive routines that make up pool. Those two things you cannot really change, within the tournament arena. Lighting, of course being the biggest "condition" factor...

At least with "Pink" there is an easily recognizable name. Likewise "Brown"

And what color name do you use for the pale blue??? "Pale blue" or "aqua" don't exactly roll off the tongue lol

As far as I can see, it is up and running and acting just fine. You may need to log out and log back in, or "clear your cache" to get started fresh. I know at first for me on my phone, when I tried to visit -- after I already knew it was up and running -- my browser took me to the "Offline error...

Thank you all for your patience and concern -- we are back up and running! I have used the same host MDD for about 10 years with a very high degree of reliability but they definitely had a major glich this time.

California Billiards in Fremont CA -- if they have not already been mentioned. Even in New England, Snookers in Providence has more than 15 9' tables

He has to be older than 62 -- I saw him in the mid 70's competing against Sigel, Hubbart, Crane, Lisciotti.

Great early photo of Jose!! Even now you can learn a lot about his positional thinking by watching vid's of Jose shooting, because he often uses his hand to indicate where he wants to end up, or gaps he wants to squeeze through to get somewhere. Another thing about his game is that even though...

You've stated it well. At the club I play at, it's not the casual players jumping and masse-ing, it's regulars that think they are masters at it lol. With bangers what I see is problems more like drinks on the table, eating food while playing, swinging sticks around -- that sort of thing.

Cornbread Red too!

Do either of you guys remember Dave Murray from Maine? I think I have the name right. He was the best player I saw north of MA back in the 70's, but I have not heard of him for years...

I'm not a big fan of pockets that are not pro standard. Too tight or too loose does change the game. Honestly I do not get the point of tight pockets that are ostensibly "for One Pocket". That said, I am all for nice big money One Pocket tournaments that are successful, and by all accounts...
