Nichole said that she had heard that Rackem might try to pick up some slack and do some tournaments, but as far as I know, nothing is set in stone. I get the feeling however, just based on who I run into at Hanks, that if you make your new home at Hanks at least for the time being, it will be...

Melissa sent me a text Thursday night that they were having a tournament that night at 7:30 but I had already settled in for a lazy night. I heard that they're having one tomorrow at 3 pm. dave

I think you were on the table next to me. I didn't recognize you as being a local player, so I thought you might have been Sean so I asked you if you were from NY? I was on the table next to you giving lessons. dave

I once read that because you'll almost always have balls that vary in size, even if brand new, the one common denominator is that if the balls are not perfectly round either in brand new condition or as a result of wear............................they will always be thickest where the numbers...

I'm always up for meeting with fellow AZers regardless of level. For many of my Colorado AZ friends, I've known via the forum since way back many years when I still lived in Japan, so it's kinda cool to finally meet some people that I've exchanged messages with over the years and to get a...

The two main rooms here in the Denver area have both gone out of business within the past 2 weeks, so I visited Hanks for my first time last week and was very impressed. For sure a pool players room. I would say that you can find all the action you would want if that's what you're looking for...

The drive to Fort Collins just to hit some really sucks, but I was there two Fridays ago and although their table time rate sucks, the tables were set up well. Clean balls, rag was clean, and in general the tables all looked to be in great shape. Haven't been to the Koop since they re-clothed...

No wonder we can't bring home the cup! Everybodys afraid to play on the 'real' tables these days. I don't know about other areas, but recently here in the Colorado area, the only larger end tournaments with a decent payout are bar table tournaments. Not that I don't respect a good barbox...

Does anybody know if Charlies is indeed done for good or is this just another temporary like this past summer? Really hate to see Table Steaks (Ink) go as they were really trying to make a run for making it into a 'players' room. With both of those rooms being gone, I don't see much of a big...

Yep, the word from people I talk to in the area that seem to always be in the 'know' is that the place is in real trouble. Which is a shame because they started out so well with new changes, the big draw tournaments and such. They really made an honest run to make it into a 'players' place...

I have an offer in mind. One, a cash deal and another a trade with cash deal. However, if I were to throw anything out on the table without first knowing 'about' what you're looking for, I risk offending you with what my may or may not precieve to be a lowball offer sir. Very nice cue. Your...

I've actually won a match as a result of my opponent dogging the 10 ball when it took a weird hop off the edge of the magic rack. It's a really goot tool, but whenever I've used it, I will always make sure it comes off the table at the first available opportunity, even it it means working with...

I was dead tired once I got home. After all, playing round robin with 63 other players really takes the wind out of ya!:grin-square: Nice shootin' last night friend. Cuebuddy, looking forward to being able to make some time to play a little when you're down here in December. See you then. dave

Bar boxes with big pockets. I watch in amazement every night, bangers run 5-6 balls, and sometimes full racks without playing any shape at all. Simply slow rolling everything in, and as long as OB is visible, for a straight shooter/roller,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's pocketable. dave

It all depends on where in Tokyo you are, but in general, you are in a very healthy and competitive pool scene. Most likely, you'll find a pool hall near all the major train stations, and most pool halls have an active house pro that plays on either the JPBA tour, or the JBC tour. The other...

I've played with many of the different Mezz lines and the Exceed doesn't play any better than any of the other lines. That said however, all Mezz cues play superbly....................including the Exceed line. The Exceed line was basically created to try to compete with the elite 'custom'...

I speak for myself and a few others (we talked about it just last night) that concerning the Colorado Springs tournament, none of us were willing to drive down that way and pay $60 to enter a bar table tournament. If it were up here in the Denver area, maybe. And on the big tables, for sure...

My only real suggestion for a fun league that would attract serious pool players that are serious about their game would be to have a league that plays exclusively on the big tables. Don't get me wrong, in my very limited recent exposure to small tables, I've developed a bit of respect for those...

Danny is doing a little time as a result of something to do with an automobile accident. I don't know any more details. I do know however, that whenever I ran into him at TS, he was always willing to play, and for pocket change. No, he doesn't play world class these days, and I would venture...
