There is also a club in Lowell called Passe Temps with two well maintained full sized tables. Luis Rios and his brother used to frequent there. They don't seem to have a website but google finds them no problem https://www.mapquest.com/us/massachusetts/business-lowell/club-passe-temps-110576

Would you sell the predator shaft separately? I could use that lol. On closer look, I don't think 3/8 x 10 works for me... unless someone can perform an operation on it :D :D Nice cue and looks like a great price too.

I've tried to compile One Pocket results, and I can tell you that there is definitely no central database for tournament results like what you are describing. The AZB results section comes by far the closest. The AZB results are excellent for relatively recent years, maybe going back as far as...

I'd like to buy a decent used Predator shaft to fit an old Dufferin, needs to be flat face, no black collar (just wood) and close to 13 mm like 12.5 + preferred.

So, does that mean the US Open One Pocket is the only major CSI pro tournament that is going to be played on 7' tables? * * Just kidding of course -- but wondering if there are plans for a US Open One Pocket in 2017.

Ok that's enough about me lol. I was impressed that the guys in the pool hall spotted the Tony Stewart sig -- but it figures the poolroom is deep in Nascar country :D

Yes, you have been one of the familiar regulars that welcome us to DCC every year. You will be missed! Best of luck with your family issues and we will "hold your seat" for you.

for your edification, lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Hargain Tony has been workin' hard all his life to succeed. That's hustlin' :D :D :D Just because some narrow minded pool puritans are uncomfortable with the gambling side of pool doesn't mean it's bad for pool. If you look at the...

I am from New England, and I agree 100% about no young people, but definitely not about One Pocket. Up here, young people have nearly completely disappeared from pool. And it happened all of a sudden too, about 10 years ago. And it definitely had nothing to do with One Pocket, because that is...

Honestly I think a lot of it is genetic talent. If you look at most of the top players, they became very good very fast. Their ceiling of potential is higher than ordinary folks. Most of us rise to a certain level +/- after about 5 years of playing -- depending on how much they play of course --...

When you are ready, hit me up.

I know there are a couple guys that do play straight pool at Boston Billiards. Both Grand China and Crow's Nest are almost entirely 8' tables. Crow's Nest is all 8' Diamonds -- very nice tables, but not 9'. Grand China has one 9' table and the rest are 8'. I play in Manchester, which has a...

This shot is the very shot that George Rood showed me when I interviewed him about 10 years ago. He said he learned that shot from Hayden Lingo!! He remembered it because it was so unusual for a more experienced player to show another player a shot back in those days.

Yeah and those young players are VERY competitive!!

I agree with the way you broke this down. Ayer might be the friendliest room in New England. Not that the other ones are not, but there are a few more 'sharks' in the water at Snookers, Stix and Stones and Amazin. So if you want to compete at a little higher level and maybe $$, then those three...

There is also Amazin Billiards in Malden -- 8 or 9 full sized pool tables plus about 4 professional heated three cushion tables. Owned and run by Mazin Shooni, who is a former USA national champion at 3C.

Hey, I agree with Lou :thumbup:

JAM, the dinner was actually only a few weeks after Strawberry died -- it was very close. So he knew before he died, and I was able to do an interview with him. I had intended to do a follow-up after the initial interview, but that I did not get a chance to do. It's overdue for me to post what I...

Dave, like they say in legal circles, in full disclosure (do they really say that, lol), aren't you and Lou basically both from St. Louis, so you're sticking up for a long time pool bud that you know well from real life, as opposed to the internet? I probably would too if I were in your shoes...

About the dinner a little. The first dinner was at the Derby City Classic in January 2005. The way that came about was kind of funny. Originally, I had assumed the One Pocket HOF would just be something online, but I did have a plaque made for Grady, who was the top vote-getter in our first...
