    McDermott New H-Series Cue .. Very Nice.

    That's an interesting product and system they've developed. I have no idea how it would make the cue play in practice. However, I can tell one thing just by looking and that is that those designs are god awful ugly. It's like they're trying to too hard.

    Huge Action Alex Pagulayan vs Justin Hall LIVE July 31 who do you guys like ?

    I've been trying to save money lately so I've not jumped in on recent ppvs, but this might be too good to pass up.

    Us open 10 and 8 ball- few key players signed up

    I've been a fan of this west coast swing over the last several years. Big names playing on big tables. I've enjoyed the hell out of it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Us open 10 and 8 ball- few key players signed up

    Most pro players sign up at the last minute. Not sure why, but it's how they roll.

    I remember reading and lurking not too long after we got our first family computer and internet access (AOL) back in 96 or so. I was 12 and hadn't been playing pool for very long. I got my first real cue (a Meucci 95 series) for my 12th birthday and still have it. I don't think I ever posted...

    Revo BeCue, why no others ?

    Based on something I saw on facebook the other day it sounds like Pechauer is also working on a carbon fiber shaft.

    Who is expected to play in the 10 ball

    That's probably part of it. It's probably overall opportunity cost. Potential ROI vs expenses, what other tournaments are going on with better odds and lower cost, etc.

    Who is expected to play in the 10 ball

    I bought the stream because 1. There are some killers in this field and some inevitably good matches and 2. The stream quality is going to be good. However, 41 players is a crazy low turnout and it sucks to see that. It seems they get less players at every event. It seems crazy that guys...

    The greatest pool trick ever

    Maybe by memorizing the sums based on the different color combinations?

    any point still for brass ferrules on snooker shafts?

    I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but it's something I've wondered as well. It looks like tradition has a hold over a lot of the snooker equipment: triangle chalk, odd mushroom shaped tips, ash cues of plain design. I'm not hating at all. There is nothing wrong with a traditional look and feel.

    So... how much did I miss?

    I for one am glad your back. You're one of the more interesting posters here and a part of AZ lore if you ask me.

    Shooting harder to improve accuracy - how many of you do it?

    I was going to say I hope no one runs this guy off because his stuff is hilarious, but I knew it was "ram shot" guy. That being said I agree there is actually some truth to this one. It's harder for me to make a good stroke when I'm trying to baby it rather than make a full normal hit...

    Matchroom Sport and WPA

    I think I agree with this. I'm really not sure what purpose they serve other than to make rules no one actually follows. They don't really hold enough gravitas for anyone to respect and use their rules. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    BREAKING NEWS --> Accu-Stats' Fleming Announces International Event

    I'm just shaking my head at some of the replies in these threads. I can't believe people are actually upset that someone with a proven track record for building events and entire sports (darts, snooker) are actually upset he now has skin in the game for American pool. I could care less if he's...

    Has anyone seen 9-Ball, the movie?

    This is quite possibly the faintest praise ever given to a film in the history of cinema.

    US Open/Matchroom.

    If you make pool great in America then you will get great American players. There has to be that incentive.

    BREAKING NEWS --> Accu-Stats' Fleming Announces International Event

    Did you miss the press release and the other threads? The rights to the US Open were bought by Matchroom (which produces the best events on the calendar) and is being moved to Las Vegas next April.

    US Open/Matchroom.

    Fine I would imagine. If I'm not mistaken Pat's even is for this year, and the Matchroom US Open won't have it's first year until 2019. If Pat's event continues next year it still looks like they will be on separate dates in separate locations.

    DigiCue Blue improving your game?

    It seems like the problem with straightness is a problem of terminology. I know when I think of a straight stroke I think of side to side motion or lack thereof rather than up and down motion. I realize that in the Digicue Blue app that is called tip steer, but I could see how that could be...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Only 2 nights left of this VNEA session including tonight. I feel like the length of this session has been appropriate. It always starts early Fall of the previous year (September), but the end of the season has varied over the last several years between mid/late February and early April...
