There're tons of them, but mostly all Filipino vs Filipino...Rotation was the only game my (Navy vet) Grandpa played, he taught me the game when I was a tyke...I'm pretty sure the U.S. Navy brought the game there originally...

For the first time for this tournament, it was designated a Matchroom ranking event and put him #5 on the current Mosconi Cup rankings. He was down in several of his matches and came back from WAY behind to win...absolute grinder!

I started in the '80s. My first cue was a McDermott D9 that I rented at a pool room in Columbus, GA...I bought it for $220, with a nice case. Sold it to get money for a higher end McDermott. I bought a D23 out of a guy's trunk (he was supposedly a travelling salesman) when he and his wife...

Every company day room (the Corps of Cadets are organized into 36 companies) has a 9 foot pool table, or did when I was there...the cohorts (clubs) are initiated by cadets. Hell, there's even a garage band club, I was in a band and the club paid expenses to have us play gigs all over the...

Thanks, Bob! That was exactly where I was going to send him. :)

Off hand, no...I graduated 36 years ago (!)...I'll look into someone you may contact and PM you if I get lucky.

I love this idea...colleges have club sports of all types, and compete regionally and nationally. I see no reason not to have a similar construct, you just need other colleges to organize and seek funding from their student unions. Some NCAA sports (like rugby, shooting sports, lacrosse, field...

ROFL! I guess that's why he's called Captain America...

A pool buddy of mine opened a small room with 10 eight foot Gandys and 2 nine-footers...all leased. He skipped on the beer/wine license; he was next door to a pretty lively bar and thought he'd scoop up clients from there (not a bad idea, but it didn't work). He was losing his a$$ pretty quick...

I've been doing it this way for 20 years, over 100 flights international and domestic...never had a problem. :)

Exactly. Bust them wide open dry and you're done. I'd much rather put my experience up against firepower in 8 ball.

That's sad...I'm the original owner of an STL17 from 1992 (I think it was called an SL19 back then) that I still shoot with every day. It's still flawless, and despite buying great custom cues from great makers over the years, it's the best balanced and nicest hitting cue I've ever played with...

Oops! Then disregard my pm...:(

It matters in cases where stroke error is causing misses...when practicing, if I miss a shot repeatedly and am not sure why, I find it helpful to line it up again and watch CB last to verify I hit the CB correctly. If I make it, I assume my previous misses were a stroke error; if I miss it...

I posted in the comments at the time that Shane must have understood how some of the older heavy hitters felt when a young kid from South Dakota hit the U.S. Open back in 2007...

According to the commentators yesterday, recovering from COVID...

I'm not sure, but talking to some of them it sounded like they paid a lot deeper in the field than most U.S. open events...many of the countries subsidize the top players with stipends and expenses that allow them to play/work full time at pool; the national sports program. The Cypriot players...

Full disclosure, I'm an American retired Army officer...I never played on the Eurotour, but I knew several who did (having spent about 12 years in Europe--Germany, Italy, UK, Greece and Cyprus). I played amateur leagues that fed into the Eurotour at some point through qualifiers, so I ran into...

The top European players (and many Asian players) start out with coaches, work through a complex series of certifications/qualifications to advance and continue to consult with coaches throughout their playing careers. Ours frankly don't. The approach to the game from start to finish is...

I've got a Cuetec Breach Ghost Edition, I really like it. The best attribute for me is control...I can crush it and the CB stays in control, for the most part. I tried a buddy's and after 3 breaks, I had to have one. Never tried the BK Rush, but many around my area use them and swear by them.
