Yeah that's no worries buddy, you're welcome to PM me as I'm happy to give some advice from what I learned, in order to help someone else to learn a few things about the game and to progress a little further :) You'll find that in English Billiards, the best way to play the game, is to try and...

What details exactly are you looking for? :) I used to play English Billiards quite often and finished R-up in the local individuals league in the only year that I entered the league and have managed a high run of 84, which is not bad for any standard with having a pool player background :) If...

I agree wholeheartedly with you Bob, after all, a tournament like the US Open would be a great event for selecting US and Canadian players, to earn a slot in the WPC :) As reguards the number of players being too high for the WPC, what about the BCA Nationals???... if the BCA can get the use of...

From where I'm standing, it seems very much like the players are supporting the billiard industry, but the billiard industry isn't particularly interested in supporting the players, with the exception of a few companies/cuemakers, etc :) Another thing to remember though is, the number of...

That's true :) lol I personally, would rather see the playing field of events like the WPC increased from 128 players to at least 640 players, this may sound like alot of spots, but in reality, there are ALOT of pool players around the world and 128 spots just doesn't cut the mustard...

I'm just watching the Mosconi interview on your blog page Freddy and it's great to have a bit more insight to the knowledge and experiences that guys like Mosconi had gained in their era :) Thanks for links guys :) Willie

I completely disagree with the WPA's slot system and the low number of spots that are available for events like the WPC. I will continue to disagree with the WPA's slotting system untill it is improved in a way that allows alot more pool players the chance to compete for in World title events...

So many legends of pool in 1 pic, very nice work Mullyman :) There is 1 player in the pic, which is a guy who will have given many pool players, countless good memories, and that being "The Miz" (May he RIP). Thanks for posting this and I think that it would be interested to see a collage of...

Not another Varney thread... :( The only reasons that I can think of that would get a thread deleted, is if it had gotten a bit rowdy with accusations, insults and/or threats flying around left and right, or whatever. If anyone is going to reply, it's cool to voice an opinion after all...

Just my 2 cents I would like to think that whichever organization is Gov't backed in it's respective country, should be the one that is given the WPA affiliation :) I agree though with Jerry 100%, I would rather see some kind of agreement between the BSCP & BMPAP, where ALL players and...

I'm banking this thread to the head rail :D There is another game that is enjoyable, but it's a tough game to play.... Honolulu :) You can shoot any ball, but every shot must be called and played in a kick shot, and close rail kicks are not allowed, the scoring counts as 1 point per ball and...

I agree with you wholeheartedly on that Jam, as I too would be happy to donate $20 if it could help give a player a decent chance, especially since I've not had many chances in my life and probably never will have anymore chances, due to my location, and so I would rather be able to help in some...

:) lol, nice one :) What other pool games do you shoot? :) There is a version of full rack banks that I play, where the pockets at the head of the table are the only 2 scoring pockets on the table :) This is particularly good for practicing long and multi-rail banks, because of how deliberate...

Sounds like a good idea JAM :), nice one :) Back to the headstring :D Willie

Does no-one know how to shoot a game of Cowboy, Cribbage, etc, anymore? :) There are plenty of various pool games to enjoy, as well as the usual suspect like 8ball, 9ball or 10ball :) I used to play alot of these games quite often and used to do very well, especially at Equal Offence, but I...

Lmao :) Willie

Hey Shane, how are ya buddy? :) I too am going to be sending some well deserved rep points your way sir, I agree that this is how buisness should be done and I'm glad that everything has been sorted out quickly, respectly and honestly, hats off to you sir :) Willie P.S. When you next speak...

BUMP Have sent an e-mail to Viking Cues and so will see what reply I get back from them, but I know that I'm looking at at least a $1K USD price tag, because it's a custom design and that's not including what I have asked for, and so, I'll have to wait and see what their reply will be :) Any...

I don't think this is a black eye for pool, it's more like a case of someone standing up for themselves and fighting for what they believe in. Willie

I hope that it will work out for Alex :) Willie
