    Q School - Will Alex, Deuel, Melling Qualify?

    I find it funny to hear anyone ever second guess the abilities of Alex, and Corey in ANY cue sport. Don't forget those 2 spent a ton of time on the road and I don't think Alex would let Corey waste his time unwarranted. Alex can flat out play snooker, and Corey has found a new way to win at...

    Best way to break in straight pool?

    put the CB even with the corner ball you intend to hit....then play a half ball hit on the corner ball with no spin and the only thought is enough speed to get the CB back to the end rail. I have been using this method for years! I learned it years ago from a VERY good player up here in 14.1...

    A $500 1 pocket event in west Texas?

    I'll play Devils advocate, but to pony up $500 and be expected to pay green fees, and only have a shot at cashing in the top 3? that is a tough weekend IMO. For me.....the odds are better to pocket the $500 and take a shot at one of the first guys to get knocked out of the event. I'm not trying...

    Let's Do Another Poll.....

    Why not do a poll for the top 10 players who actually had a career or business and made a living outside pool, and were still able to play the game at a top level!! I'll start the poll with Jack Calovito! and follow it up with Danny Barouti! G.

    Well... finally bought two quality cues

    nothing like having a great experience with a new purchase huh dude! :) My go to player is a J&J with an OB1 shaft. I got them on special at the J&J america site. One thing I have learned over the years is price sometimes has no bearing on the hit, playability, and finish of a great playing...

    Pool table weight

    ok my guess is you are a structural engineer? :) or an aspiring one? don't forget the table weight is dispersed on just the 4 legs, so the calculation has to take in consideration if you set the legs over a floor joist, or between the joist. But in any event....a gold crown is about the same as...

    Derby City Advice Needed

    yea man, just stay at the Casino there, it's more fun not having to commute. You know, you can always pack some easy to make grub in a cooler and eat in your hotel room. Hell for that matter bring a microwave and cook your own. G.

    One pocket Beat the Breaker, Scott, Efren, Darren

    Hell yea I'd love to listen in on the two guys conspiring on how to run out, or how to trap the single player. I think one pocket is perfect for listening in as we all play it differently, and I like to hear another guys perspective on table situations vs what I would do in any given situation. G.

    World Team Billiards

    Nice to see Tony Ellin again, and Jay Swanson! I also have a set of the cards down in my pool room. I had 5 sets we purchased years ago when they came out and I was convinced they would be $$$ some day.....but I kept the best set and gave the others away! G>

    DAG. Darren just blasted Chip with 7 wins in a row to win the set.

    NICE write up! I have a question.....in long sets like this when there is a turn around....I always try to figure out if the "better" player "woke up", or learned something? or did the other guy tire out and fade?.....what happened here? thanks, G.

    Mentality vs a slow player

    I feel slow play has been one major chink in the armor of pool AND especially 14.1 for years! How many times have we all watched accu-stats with a time clock and the players play better?! Abafrigginjillion maybe? 14.1 is NOT a slow game IMO.....yes you must think and consider options, but to...

    Aiming Systems • Techniques • ETC

    I was a very long time naysayer when it came to systems. Until I hit a plateau I could not overcome.....I turned to learning systems and found Hal pretty quickly. What I did was study snooker, billiards, pool, and found that tho the games differ, the system I use works with them all because you...

    Who do you think are the top ten 1 Pocket players in the world right now?

    My addition.... Allen Hopkins. Maybe a little past his prime, but, a few years ago at the DCC 1P challenge Allen took his turn and MANY of the Pros showed up to watch the master. Not to mention he is in the one pocket hall of fame. I don't know too many players lining up to test him at one hole...
