    Mike Dechaine, where are you?

    For real, if I was Mike I'd stay as far away from here as possible. Someone posts a stupid, elementary school blog degrading him and everyone here acts like it's the greatest, funniest thing they've ever read, not even thinking about speaking up for the guy. No respect.

    Could Corey Deuel have been one of the all-time greats?

    If he dedicated himself 100% to pool and didn't get disinterested? His natural talent and mind is just incredible. I know there's a lot of players you could say would be world-beaters if they dedicated themselves 100& and practiced as much as Shane but to me there's something special about Corey.

    Is TAR done with Earl?

    I heard they were but I don't get it, his behavior in TAR 20 was far worse than his behavior in TAR 22 so why cut him off after the latter?

    Poker Tells or Pool Tells

    Several years when I first starting shooting, my APA team was playing in the Valley Forge tournament. We put up a 6 who placed 38th out of a 2-hundred something players in Vegas playing in the 7s bracket (they said he was so close to being a 7 he had to play in their bracket, albeit as a 6)...

    What's the difference between a cheap $3.50 Wal-Mart cueball and a $20 Aramath

    Thanks for the replies everyone! Well the consensus here is it may not be as good as the Aramith but it beats playing with the "Mudball" any day!

    What's the difference between a cheap $3.50 Wal-Mart cueball and a $20 Aramath

    Just went to Wal-Mart and got a regulation cue ball since our bar has a big cue ball and in our local APA league theres a bylaw that if you have a regulation cue ball in possession it MUST be used. No one else on my team seemed to give a damn so I took it upon myself to buy one. But what's the...

    Was I wrong for handling this the way I did?

    I was shooting in my league last night and this big drunk guy comes over from the bar and starts watching us shoot. He's not talking to anyone, no one even knew him. Every time me or my opponent miss, he starts saying stuff like "What the **** was that?" or "Are you serious, man?" I asked him...

    Aiming with an oversized cue ball

    I just played a league match in a bar that had a cue ball about the size of a bowling ball. I found out very quickly that my aim was very off and it stayed very off throughout the match. My question is, does anyone else generally find it harder to aim with an oversized cue ball? I think I just...

    What happened with Mika Immonen?

    It looked like this guy was gonna be Shane's rival for many years but then he just kinda dropped off. I don't mean to be demeaning, I'm just kind of wondering what happened?

    Noob question but I can't make a ball frozen to rail with inside bottom, why?

    No, I can easily make it in with outside, unless I have them mixed up. Say you put the cueball behind the left side of the headstring and put a ball on the rail to the right of the rack if you were facing the first ball. If you hit it with bottom left, wouldn't that be inside english or no?

    Noob question but I can't make a ball frozen to rail with inside bottom, why?

    Like if a ball is frozen to a rail on my right and I try to make it in with bottom left, the ball comes off track and misses every time. It has to be something I'm doing, surely this shot has to be possible.

    Questiion about 9-ball spots (getting the 5-8 ball)

    Ok, I'm not that good but I want to start playing for money. Obviously I would need spots. My question is, say you "get the 6", does that mean if your opponent pockets the 6, you have to pocket the 7 to win (or 8 if there is no 7, 9 if there is no 7 or 8) or do you have to run out the rest of...
