The problem is when they do this sort of thing and it becomes the norm. If this is apparently how they want it to be in the Mosconi cup more power to them, but it's not pleasant to watch. It's a shame that bad manners, arrogance and rude behavior are becoming the norm.

Watch some of it on YouTube and I had to turn it off it was unwatchable. I can't stand the way the audience acts and I can't stand the way the players act. Maybe there's a market for that maybe that's what people enjoy but not me. I think it perverts the sport.

The problem with racking balls isn't getting them together tight. The problem is you're racking them on cloth with a nap and once you've push them together tight and remove the rack they want to reposition themselves. You can get the balls together tight with any rack just using your fingers.

I think it primarily depends on what hemisphere you're in and how far you are from the equator. I believe the Philippines are in the 15th and 16th parallel North which probably accounts for why they have such good players.

Just speaking from personal experience from leveling hundreds of tables. If it is a new installation you have to level the frame and slates, the whole deal. If a table just developed a slight roll, I have always corrected it by rolling a ball in a certain pattern to find the problem and...

It just popped up on my YouTube. I don't know how but maybe somebody can post a link to it. While on the subjects, I was wondering why more pool players don't get themselves on talk shows. There probably is a problem cuz you got to set up a pool table but then also how many of these pool players...

He is an insufferable narcissist.

Have to admit it. I enjoyed the rotating the break. Not for a steady diet of it but it has its place.

Do the commentators care anything about this match. Jennett Lee is the worst. I wish she would just shut up and watch the match.

Most of the time in a pool room you don't need all your tables. Daytime to usually not that good most the time certain nights of the week but can you have weekends. So the formula is that when you do have those peak hours you really like to be able to maximize your income and for that you need a...

He says in the video I believe he's 85. And the date on that video was around 2 years ago they must be around 87.

Looks like that was posted Sept 2023. How is Richard today? He made me a few cues. One was around 1976. It had a terrible flaw in the birdseye and I was going to send it back but it got stolen from my truck when I was in a movie. My homeowners insurance that also covered things in my truck...

An example of why they should play win by 2

You see that commonly with businesses that get passed down to another generation. Some business that's been in the family for 40 years the next generation runs into the ground into. The one thing that looks easy that isn't is nobody understands the number of hours that are actually put in. I...

I guess I got on the subject and I just can't stop. I have a friend who opened a very nice bar. Unfortunately he's dead now the bar is still there though. You would not believe what you can get for nothing if you start looking. He found a shopping center that was being demolished and they were...

Yeah that can happen, but it doesn't usually happen overnight you know pretty much in advance when something like that's going to occur. Important thing is that you have no debt. Everything under that roof belongs to you Lock stock and barrel free and clear. You would hate to but you may have to...

There is an old joke about a guy going to a town with no car washes. He thought, wow what a great place to open a carwash. I would be the only one in town. After opening he learned why there were no carwashes in that town.

Owning the building is not the secret really. I had two rooms and rented both. One is still open 40 later. At the same time I had a building that would have made a perfect pool room, 6000 sqft and a lot of parking on a main road. It was never even a consideration. The building was rented to an...

There was a shot the other night where the player was snookered. He was kicking at a ball that was right next to another ball. It looked like he made a bad hit but nothing was said. That is neither here nor there now. The point is, the ref was 20 feet away when the shot was made. He should...

I put on a lot of single elimination house tournaments in my pool room. Used to do one every week. We played race to five two out of three sets. I also experimented with single elimination race to six win by two. That way there's never a double Hill game. People seem to like both formats.
