I have read many pool books, both instructional and story. Byrne’s “Standard Book of Pool and Billiards” easily provided the most useful information, as far as instruction. It may have been due to when I read it (20+ years ago), that it provided me with so much new information. Many of the...

Porta potty, my ass. Shit in real out houses with catalogs for toilet paper, through the early sixties. Didn’t take long to shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed, but even 2020 had a group working the practice room. Not to say there wasn’t one but I didn’t notice a team of players working the room for the $$$. Even Deathball seemed bored this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a hard job to keep things moving like we fans want. The buy backs are a scheduling nightmare but also a large source of revenue, so it’s easy to understand why it’s utilized. Plus a lot of the buy back money is dead money, which is necessary for any tourney to have a good payout. With...

My biggest takeaway from this year was the change in the fan base. Whether it was due to the increase in top level pros, the addition of Matchroom points or the lack of an event last year, the spectators this year seemed so much more immersed in the tournament and less immersed in the...

Is it a foul if the cue ball then makes contact with the object ball that was touched? Edit: Using cue ball fouls only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first DCC was amazing! I didn’t play and attended as an observer only. I went hoping to see a few elite players. It was immediate sensory overload. Elite players were everywhere. I couldn’t take it in fast enough. Things will be different, post COVID, but it should still be a great field. We...

I’m not familiar with their customs. Do you think the chicken noises are from layers, fryers or fighters? [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I maintained my pool hobby for about fifteen years under similar circumstances. I was raising kids and had little play time outside my basement, by myself. Kids grew up, I got back into the pool scene and all is right in the world again. Of course, I failed to become that basement monster player...

FWIW, 12.1-12.3 is my preference in maple. Not sure what I prefer in CF. I have a 12.2 CF shaft, that I am not too crazy about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure what material is used for the Defy ferrule. After a short conversation with McDermott, they told me it was covered under warranty. I have used McDermott, to make voluntary repairs, before, so I am very confident I will get my shaft back just like new. Sent from my iPhone using...

Anyone heard anything about what might happen, if Earl was chosen as one or both of the viewers choice matches? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
