    SVB's world titles

    Is it fair? How are we to judge that South Dakota Kid? Where does he stand in amongst the greats? Can't really compare the tournament money to days gone by, as the money ain't there. Is his competition better or worse then years ago, especially in rotation with the Asian players that are...

    What is the most consecutive racks of 9 ball ever run?

    Maybe... Who cares, I ran 4 racks on a nine foot table that had big pockets n only had one nine ball on the brake!

    Alex vs Dennis?

    Well heck Maybe that is the magic of pool, never really knowing who is the best! One thing for sure, both are outstanding players. Alex is the most fun player to watch of all the pros, the guy cracks me up and counting him out when he is behind is a mistake.

    Alex vs Dennis?

    I thought so....... Ahh, the money, with some it is always the money. Goes to another thread I posted and asked, is Alex a hustler? Maybe not in the old sense of the word, but in a more modern and methodical sense of the word? I really am ok with it, pool will never change and cultures...

    Alex vs Dennis?

    When will an Alex and Dennis match happen? Have they ever matched up in a big money match before? It seems like they play about every one else. How bout T Rex and that Frost guy?

    Alex, a hustler?

    Is Alex a pool hustler? How good is he? Seems like he might make more in one on one action then in tournaments. Also seems like few want to match up even with him. I enjoy watching him and would like to see him and Dennis playing even up One Pocket.

    Shane's mom needs the value of cues

    Hi SD Mom Great job on raising a decent human being with a great work ethic who is also a true world class pool player. I have to ask, shouldn't there be a Diveney cue in those pics, or is it "missing in action"?

    Shane Van Boening's new cue

    Ted n fishing Ted Williams caught over 2,000 Atlantic salmon and I think it was with a fly rod, just how strong is that! If Shane likes fishing he should contact me and fish Alaska! I have a home table and will play him even for...……..

    Break tips for cues

    For now. A few months ago Pat Diveney made me a 12.75mm 30" Lake Salvage shaft with a black phenolic ferrule and an Odega tip. My break has much room for improvement, but it is definitely better since I started using the new shaft, ferrule and tip. That being said, plenty of guys could...

    New Shaft or New Cue, what to do?

    My thoughts. Shaft deflection is much debated and it seems like every one is saying theirs' is the best for low deflection. I doubt Efren worries about deflection, as he adjusts for it as many other world class players do and have always done. A good player will shoot good pool with any...

    Petition to bring billiards to 2024 Olympics

    Well golly.... I wish pool could be elevated to Olympic status. Would it be Snooker, Chinese 8 Ball or 9 Ball. I doubt One Pocket would make it as only the elite thinking players understand the game, or so I hear. Maybe a couple of two man teams from each entering country. After that we...

    Efren Bata Reyes and His Pool Cues

    Efrens "lucky" Diveney cues. I have a few of Pat's cues and I asked him why the cues he makes Efren shoot better then mine do? He told me Efren is just "luckier". Efren has been "lucky" for well over 50 years. When do I start to be "lucky", my time is running out.

    Best all around Euro player?

    Who is the best all around European player? I'm talking 8,9, and 10 ball and the takes forever One Pocket game. If Kaci played One Pocket would you watch it...……….

    Matchroom releases initial Team USA...no SVB

    Maybe not.... Jason you could be right, but I am not sure each of one those countries would torture the U.S. The U.S. against England or Germany would be tough. But, the U.S. against Scotland, France, Greece, Finland, etc. would be competitive. I think many on here agree the current system...

    Matchroom releases initial Team USA...no SVB

    Oh well. It really does not matter who the U.S. puts on the team. We can not compete with a team made up of players from several countries who get to pick who ever has the hot cue that year. I doubt Shane needs the stress of it all. He is easy to find if any one wants to challenge him in a...

    Who is expected to play in the 10 ball

    Golly! I think Alex is a Canadian no matter what he looks like. Not a big surprise there are winning Pinoy shooters as it is a huge sport in there country. Much more popular then in the U.S. and many more play there then in any country I am aware of. Pool is cheap to get into and does not...

    WORLD POOL SERIES 10 Ball MASTERS June 7-10, 2018

    Format? Any one know if it is winner or alternate break, rack your own, rack template, any refs, how long the races are and if it is a true double elimination? Or where I can find this information? Please let it be winner breaks!

    Best shafts ever produced.

    What is LD ? I am confused by all of this LD shaft stuff. It seems to me as though Predator is the king of the LD shaft makers. Then we have many other makers offering their spin on it and some custom cue makers also have a version of it. I am now using Pat Diveney's version of a LD shaft...
