Not saying its going to be Archer and Hohmann in the final though, I know Davis still has a shot. Davis has a great game and a very unique stroke. Love to watch him play.

Yeah, agree and think Archer will take it in the final. Should be a great match though. I know Hohman has a great straight pool game, anyone know his high run or how Archer fairs at straight pool? Who would be your pick if it was straight pool being played in the final with Archer vs. Hohmann?

Anyone else watching the minute by minute updates on the Florida open? Its getting pretty good right now! Nice job Platinumbilliards.com !

Anyone else going to the International Challenge of Champions at the Mohegan sun on August 10th and 11th. I took the night off of work and can't wait! I go every year and I got on TV twice and a picture in IP or BD once. Gotta get there early if you want the "Tv Seats" and don't wanna be...

Did you get the june Billiards Digest yet? If so, there is an advertisement in their with all the info and I'm sure you can find out some info at http://www.usopen9ballchampionships.com/

Thanks for your offer, I Pm'd you. Thanks, Chris

Hello. I looked around some of the billiard Web sites to find out what shafts can go on the joint of a Fury Jump break cue and I beleive it is True-loc. Can some one please fill me in as to what type of shaft I need or where I can get it. I found a few Web sites that sell the specific extra...

The Pool balls or the Pool player's balls? The WPBA may have something to say about this :). When you have a tough layout, just run around the table a few times while analyzing the rack. Has anyone ever seen Earl Strickland ever need to use an extention/time out? I would like to hear his...

It was well-intentioned and I see the drawbacks from your post. Thanks for the information. Do you have any ideas to improve the low pay outs of tournaments?

Yeah, I see that :). Just using the 200 player as an example to the $100,000 figure. Maybe a table time fee could be included in the entry fee. And possibly pick up some business from tournament if they sell food, drinks, and other and from spectators if any. Maybe half the billard hall...

Has anyone tried or toyed with the idea of a non profit pool tour. Have all entry fees and sponsorship money etc. go directly to the payout. It seems like it would be easy enough to get Billiard establishments to donate table time. The tournaments could be run by volunteers or the players...

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZxxlawlerxx Looks like his rating is good. I also see he has a Gold Crown pool table for sale for 4500 and sells some leather 2 x 4 cue cases. The picture of the cue cases isn't too great. Anyone ever heard of this "it's george" type cases?

I don't know much about the Sledge hammer but I assume it has a phenolic tip. I got a phenolic tip put on my break cue. I scuffed it initially so it would hold chalk and I check it from time and scuff as needed. If you find yourself miscueing a lot or the tip not visibly holding chalk, then I...

I think you can still learn new things about fundamentals from watching good players. You don't have to copy them exactly but I think it can get give you new ideas to try in your practice session. An example would be seeing Allison Fishers snooker stance and experimenting with a snooker...

I think the main factor is comfort and balance. I use to experiment with more weight forward, back, equal between both. Now I just forget about it and stay as balanced as possible and don't worry where my weight is shifted. When I work on my stance in my practice sessions I experient with...

I recently had a chance to see part of the Archer vs. Deul 20 k match. It was a low budget video compared to say a televised match. I noticed that I could see the players fundamentals much better though. Grip, stance, stroke, head position, etc. I think a lot of the accustats and espn...

http://home.insightbb.com/~nenenews/kinister/classic_player_tapes.html I may pick some of them up in the future as well. Anyone for inducting Bert Kinister into the hall of fame :). I can see his hof inductee speech now. Tons a "Ding Dong Daddies" and a few "Thanks Kid's".

Any one have any comments about this video. Does it contain information about fundamentals of grip, stroke, stance, etc... or more position play/strategy and how much of it is one pocket related and would you recommend it or pass it up? I am considering picking it up. If anyone has a used...

Rack 3 balls, Break em, take ball and hand and run them out. If you are trying to improve your 9ball game, run them in order. Straight pool, run them in any order, 8ball: designate one of the balls as the "8ball". Progressivley increase the number of balls as you get better and better at...

Anyone catch the 1993 pro billiards championship final between "Mr. Mullet" Francisco Bustamante and Earl Strickland on ESPN Classic this morning EST. You gotta love those clock trophies at the end. Great tournament series and nice job goes out to ESPN Classic for airing these great...
