    Bergman ran a 19-pack, I think it's the highest package on video.

    19 is awesome and he's a beast but there's no comparing template versus no template. They're completely different ballgames. The template is equivalent to batting .750, but off a tee.

    My theory on why they use a purple 5 ball

    Commentators are tripped up from time to time as well. I'm boarderline embarrassed for them when they squabble over how a shot should be played, only to realize one of them was entirely playing position on the wrong ball. Happens semi-routinely.

    Pro-Am black PRC fingerprint solution (for me)

    The microfiber cloth is key. Works good even with plain water. I'll have to try it with pledge.

    Should we start a petition to change the 5 ball back to orange again?

    Bring Back Hustling Culture

    Hey MF, I like your idea. I think what you're saying is summed up by your comment, "The good of gambling without the bad." On another note, here's a tournament flyer that may interest you. I'm on the committee for this event.

    Side bets in APA

    Point taken. I'm not suggesting APA encourage playing for car titles. But if they simply institute an option to wager $8, it would provide their members a greater sense of the full experience. Whatever keeps the till ringing. Then, some might start chasing losses, at which point APA would...

    Side bets in APA

    APA should embrace gambling. 4 pages deep on this topic, and nobody has provided their actual reason for prohibiting?? Please don't speculate that it's because it's supposed to be fun. Gambling (responsibly) has a tendency to make things MORE fun and interesting. Take, for example, the Super...

    The Pool Gods - a poem

    Ok, this just flowed as I typed, so it could use some tweaking, but I smiled when I stopped. Muscles are tight Angles aren't right Not trusting my sight Nothing seems right. Weight on my back falling further behind. I need a break, so I can unwind. I've lost control of the score. It's looking...

    You guys were correct as usual

    Assuming you are a top pro with a perfect stroke, it's safe to say it's not your glove, but rather a deviation from your otherwise perfect mechanics. However, on the off-chance you're not a top pro, and in fact your stroke isn't consistently robotic, then indeed it's very possible your glove is...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Look, I simply posted my experience thus far with the blue Aramith cueball, albeit limited to 3 days. No, I did not weigh it - I thought my post was pretty clear that it's based on preliminary usage. I shoot with the red measle Aramith exclusively at home and in my opinion they're not the same...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Using them for the first time this weekend at a big tournament (120 Diamond tables). Never seen them prior. In high likeliness these balls are junk, it's hard to tell on the ultra-slick cloth... They have typical "cheap ball" characteristics (light weight?) . They don't take top spin/follow...

    Could Joe Rogan help with pool?

    I don't disagree. However, in the grand scheme of things her "star-power" is very niche. Then there's the subject matter. I was more inclined to comment because of the two major conclusions, or rather assumptions, being drawn. One, Rogan is unsympathetic/doesn't help concerning cancer. Two, he...

    Could Joe Rogan help with pool?

    Sorry, but putting Jeanette Lee on to discuss cancer is unrealistic. The only thing it accomplishes is a ratings freefall. Janette, who? Cancer, what?! For the hundred or so people that did remain tuned-in, it would be for the Cancer discussion and do nothing for pool, anyway. That doesn't mean...
