Bob, Why are they tearing? Is it taking them on and off? The silicone (or rubber) wrap I originally picked up I would put on and off every time (because of the case issue), but I actually picked up a cloth tube thing JB cases sells that you can put your butt in and then it slides into a...

Thanks. The wrap I bought at the SBE was actually not in the 3C area, but I think sold by one of the collectable cue dealers. It did not have any branding on it. I watched the video for the Longoni wrap (had to look on YouTube as the link seemed broken on their site) and it contemplates...

At the Super Billiards Expo a few years ago I picked up what I thought was a rubber wrap (that one rolls on and off a cue). The vendor who sold it to me said he had some for the three-cushion event down there. It eventually tore, and I bought a new one online, but it was much thicker and I...

It is easy to make fun of announcers, but I would like to see anyone here commentate on matches for hours on end and not repeat the same things. Also, remember that the announcers are trying to make it interesting for the casual fan (many of whom are snooker fans if anything). It is not the...

860 on my home 9' Table. 860 HR on my Valley table with Ridgebacks at my cottage. No complaints.

It is a little more added, given that the past winners are being given free entry. But I would have hoped for more added money.

I don’t think she “slipped through”. If Alex Olinger and the like are amateurs (or was when he won it), she’s an amateur in their definition, IMO

Bob, Aside from deliberate moving of the rack to defeat the breaker - which is a different issue - what then is the “correct” approach if playing without a template when the balls won’t freeze on the spot but will freeze a little up or down?

Barry Hearn isn’t motivated by charity. Earl is controversial and that gets views. That’s why they interviewed him after the match and goaded him into going off more than he had already. Barry got exactly what he paid for, IMHO.

Justin Sajich is Australian, I believe. Matt Edwards is the top player in New Zealand, I believe. He has played a number of pro events in the US. I've seen him play on streams - good player but no threat to win this event, IMO. I don't; know if they won qualifiers over there or whether...

Since you are building, anything you can do to provide sound insulation (including a good door at the top of the stairs) will be money well spent! It’s amazing how the sound of pool balls travels.

That was my point. The suggestion was that Shane “went to Bucharest”!for a 3,000 Euro event - which would be confusing if one thought he flew there for that one event. My point was that he was going to the WPM so this was sort of on the way. I think he played one or two eurotour events last...

Well, Shane was going to Europe for the World Pool Master next week. And I’m pretty sure he got some appearance fee or other consideration from either the event or his sponsors.

The problem with snooker is SVB has no shot. If pool, then 9b, 8b and 14.1 are way more likely to at least be competitive than 10b and 1p. What was the format of the old Miz challenge? 14.1, snooker and 8b?

Who is doing the commentary? Oh, and go Lion!

which is a good excuse to post this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqE_WmagjY

Okay, to ask more directly: (1) Was the entry supposed to be $140 or $144.62? (2) Was there supposed to be some tax or service charge included (which would have made it $144.62)? (3) Was some shortfall discussed with her before she cashed the cheque and was she authorized to increase the...

The only thing I question about this is why do you recommend getting "movers" to touch the table at all? When I've moved I had my pool table mechanic take my table apart and move it and install it - I wouldn't let a "mover" touch it. Wouldn't someone like Jay who you recommend do that?

So the difference between the two cheques is 3.3%. Was there some tax or service charge that perhaps the OP agreed to pay in subsequent emails and authorized her to change? I just think there is more to the story than the OP is saying. I get that he is mad (and rightly so) about not getting...

By the way, I get that many people don’t like FB for various reasons, but it is probably the best platform to grow the sport (other than Matchroom being able to get a bunch of real pool on real tv). The viral nature of FB means that a match being streamed on FB gets way more views than any other...
