The rules you linked for the "Around the World" variation have been considerably shortened and not 100% accurate on the pool.biz website. The first pocket in "Roundy" is actually at the foot end of the table, and like Golf, you have to make each pocket in order, progressing around the table to...

Well said, Joey. Count me as a big Ray Hansen fan too. Live streaming is still in the pioneer stage and Ray's hard work and continuing effort to improve is helping to pave the way. Justin and TAR obviously have a more polished product, but part of the appeal of live stream in my humble opinion...

I coordinate the One Pocket HOF dinner and what I would say is that without a doubt, what a young player wears to a HOF dinner means a whole lot less to me than the fact that they care to come -- despite the fact that the players being honored are at least a generation older than they are. I tip...

I like to use a lot of english (no doubt too much, lol) and play mostly One Pocket, so I play a lot of slow-spin type shots. I used to use a medium tip but had a lot of problems with miscue, seeing that I was constantly trying to strike the edge of the cue ball. So I switched to a soft tip and...

I do not know if I posted in this thread before, but if I did, I am probably older now, lol. FORUM NAME: 1pocket LOCATION: Central NH AGE: 62 HOURS OF PLAY PER WEEK: about 14 -- two evenings and one weekend afternoon BEVERAGE OF CHOICE: Definitely Coffee, but if I can add Bailey's that is even...

Individually signed autographs or the stamped signatures? I don't think the stamped issue was that big a deal -- maybe 200-250 at most IMHO. Lizard and individually signed for a friend, more than that if you wanted to approach value because there were not many of those (as far as I know) but not...

Photographer credits This is a Bill Porter/Mike Haines photo -- they took a ton of fantastic mostly 80's era tournament photos, including some of the others in this thread This is a Billie Billing photo -- she was a pro player and excellent pool photographer back in the film days. This was a...

Ronnie more versatile?? no way -- Efren definitely has proven his versatility with all kinds of all-around and different discipline titles. not even close, unless you are talking one-handed. But while we are on the "what if" topic -- how about what if Efren had been playing One Pocket since his...

Yes I agree I should have mentioned Brian too. The only problem for me re: Brian was I didn't see much of his action because it was in Ray's streaming room with the door closed. That might have been "entertaining" for the streaming audience but not for all the rest of the people at DCC not in...

Looks like this needs a bump. I like John Mars -- he puts so many players in big action it is unbelievable! Richie Richeson worked his butt off all week and would be a great candidate Billy Thorpe was in a bunch of action Other names I would have to include would be Oscar Dominguez, Ryan...

Wrong. My impression is that most experts point to the late Hurricane Higgins appearance on the scene for the explosion of snooker's popularity. He was not exactly a church mouse

The powers that be are the members who vote, that's all. The criteria we use are: 1. Great Players who have demonstrated their excellence in tournament competition over time. 2. After Hours Legends who have demonstrated their excellence and their heart by matching up against the best of their...

Was his name Efren? :D

I cannot imagine a cue maker peppering the butt of a cue with random holes like that. I go with the guy that said weight management, because MOP would not ALL fall out like that, and the holes are way too random. Too bad, very nice rosewood(?) it looks like.

Shaw "disrespectful of the game"??? I just sweated the whole weekend of the Ocean State Open and saw a lot of both Dechaine and Shaw. Actually, one thing that got my attention was how much Shaw practiced between matches -- including using set up drills, which seems to me kind of unusual for...

No argument here at all -- just maybe some misunderstanding, which could be partly me, lol. I am definitely confused about what isn't working for you to link directly to the original photo. I found this pic of a half decent player and real decent guy that sometimes posts here on AZ, and all I...

On the contrary, anyone can easily post photos directly from my pool photography website. Just click on the image and copy the url. Also, I always enable "Share" in my online galleries so it is easy to get a link to whatever image size you want to post. However, you are right that I have "right...
