Southern Classic Diamond Billiard Products will no longer host the Southern Classic. We had too many issues with the venue. Paul Smith Tournament Director

Mr. Caras was the first professional that I ever saw up close and personal. He gave an exhibition Michigan Union in Ann Arbor. He played a short 14.1 match against the reigning student champ. While the student was screwing his cue together, Mr. Caras went ahead and lagged for the break. His...

I will rephrase my statement to say that banks has less luck than most any other game. If you live in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio or Chicago then banks is considered a mainstream game The rest of the country just hasn't caught up to us yet. Lol. We have had 9 Ball Banks as an event at the Derby...

I agree with Danny and John, full rack bank is the most pure from of pool. There is no luck involved and the rack is irrelevant. I think that all forms of challenge pool are better than their ordinary counterparts. Like challenge 14.1, each player gets the same number of opportunities at the...

The Chinese tried to get pool added as an exhibition sport in the last Olympics.It was rejected because the IOC said that pool is a game not a sport. There is no standard game rules and no standard playing condition.

As one of the tournament directors of the Southern Classic, I was especially interested in watching Earl vs SVB. Earl won the match after SVB missed several relatively easy shots down the stretch. Several times in the early part of the match, a spectator would start a conversation with Earl...

Everybody is wrong about the pocket sizes. These pockets are estimated to be 4 7/16". They are definitely slightly smaller than standard Pro Cut. I measured every pocket on all four tables after I leveled them. We made two tight tables for the action room and they are 4 1/8". Our manufacturing...
