Uh oh, I can see it now: The APA Movie - 9 Ball 2 - The Mosconi Cup Jennifer Baretta beats Ralf Souquet in the final match for the trophy in front of a Madison Square Garden sell out crowd

Doesn’t that only make sense if they tighten them for the Euros?

I believe most sets of rules allow for unintentional miscue, it happens. This is not a foul and as described is a legal hit

At the singles I believe they just got the small bling and I think they got an APA baseball hat. Hey, free stuff, no jacket though. The packages were remarkably similar

Backpacks, coolers, Notebook binders, I haven't seen jackets in some years. Everyone got some bling, a coin cylinder, patch, challenge coin, some other small stuff, but I believe the backpack, or coolers, stuff like that was one per team

Maybe try leaving a thin piece of the old tip instead of cardboard. So you’re not removing the entire tip. I do that sometimes, more to protect the ferrule than anything else but it seems to make for a nice hit and Idon’t notice any sound, well, other than a dull thud, and that’s only if I’m...

I have a Schon with that pin. I purchased it in late 1993 or early 1994. Love that cue. A couple of years ago I had the chance to show it to Evan Clark. He told me that he was the one that made that cue and that he was the only one at Schon that used that pin and that it is not an Acme pin (or...

Wasn’t Pickle Ball a demo sport the the last summer Olympics?

The argument that JAM made was that banned for a blood pressure medication this is ridiculous. Generally, the anti doping regs a are to prevent the use of performance enhancing substances. In that you really can't play if you're dead, I suppose the blood pressure meds could be considered...

Yes, if pool should find it's way into the Olympics the anti doping rules might be a problem for a lot of countries and their medal efforts. I'd like to see pool in the Olympics, but the banned substances might be asking a little too much. Maybe the WPA would consider changing from "banned...

Are they using the IOC rules or banned substances list, or did they come up with their own because they are now taking it upon themselves to police cue sports? Or is this a WPA thing?

It's funny that you mention poppy seed muffins, because that's happened at an Olympic type event some years ago, I think bicycle racing. I don't think you'll find anyone that would argue with you, but rules is rules. I think that typically the practice among Olympic athletes is that prior to...

Yep, it's bad when you blow your top, especially if it's way out of character for you. I did it at the worst possible time and spent the next 4 years feeling bad about it. Don't let it get to you, I'm sure even your pain in the ass guy knows it's not like you. Shit happens, you'll get 'em next time

It’s just a guess, but I’m thinking you have some issues with the APA. I’ve always said The APA isn’t for everyone. It’s obviously not for you, for whatever reason, never been to Las Vegas, didn’t get your patch, got beat by a 2 or a 3 (or maybe a 1?), could be any of those, or maybe something...

Need them? Probably not, but they're like cheap insurance. Tell you what I am sure of - The one time I use a cue and don't have them I'll somehow manage to drop the cue and bend the pin, or someone will spill a drink or ice cream or something right into the shaft. I figure why take the chance...

Do you remember the WFL and the USFL? Both tried and failed to compete directly with The NFL. If there are APA teams there, then you can count on there being unhappy APA players there as well. Don't try and compete directly with the APA, you can't win, but try to exist along side the APA for a...

The change of seasons takes a toll, especially from warm to cold. No one likes to think so but it is, and no one thinks it is, but it is. Everyone loves the warm weather, the cold weather is a hard thing, if you’re older than 30 or 35, the cold makes your knees hurt, your shoulders hurt, your...

Best place in Phoenix? Either in Colo Springs or Denver. Head north

You know what, I don’t know where you live but I believe that we all play like shit in winter weather. I have a personal beliefs that if Mosconi was played in June or July the Americans would stomp some serious European ass, I mean it wouldn’t even be close. During the summer it wouldn’t even...
