Eal's million dollar run was on shimmed Gold Crowns at CJ's Billiard Palace, they were much tighter than normal Gold Crowns of the time. Two balls would fit just inside the points. I played a combo and hung the 1 and another ball together in the pocket and Nick Varner had the shot from about 6...

I recently read "The Branch and The Vine", a book on the War Between the States (otherwise known as the War of Northern Aggression and commonly mislabled as the American Civil War, which it of course was not) by Richard Ledbetter which I highly recommend. From page 58, the year is 1862, the...

What's your highest run ended by miscue? I ran 53 yesterday and miscued. It was not my fault of course. I dropped my chalk through the pocket ball return during the middle of the run and grabbed another one off the top of my light, but omebody had glued paper all over the side of my blue...

Nice shooting. Keep em coming. At 10:30 into the second video I was looking for you to shoot the 1 and draw to get straight on the dark ball on the right side rail and then draw up to get above the 2 ball in the side so you could roll down close for the 13 and have the dark ball above the 9...

There is a Bob that has been haning around tournaments in the McComb area for quite awhile now. If it's the same guy he has a couple of young relatives that play pretty sporty. David Harcrowe talked about Good Time Charley Owens. Charley was originaly from Brookhaven Mississippi, about 25...

I was watching a match on youtube and the stereo went from Quiet Riot to something easy listening and I was wondering how it wasn't screwing up the player's rhythm. What music, or sounds would be best in your opinion for a straight pool tournament?

This was in a thread in the Tournament Announcement forum. Anybody know anything about this tournament?

If you play enough rotation you'll probably be able to do that. Rotation used to be the main game in a lot of old pool rooms, especially those charging per rack.

From the European Pocket Billaird Federation EuroTour regulations. http://www.epbf.com/organ/rules/Eurotour_2010_Regulations.pdf The Euro Tour is probably the most successful tour in the world. They use a European copy of the original US patented Rack-M-Rite Racking Template to tap the...

We played call shot 9 ball on CJ's PCA tour in 1995 or 96 and imo it was a bad move. Then we played 10 ball on the Camel Pro Billiards Series with big purses and it was never call shot. Ten ball is a different game than 9 ball regardless if it's call shot or not. The Camel World 8 Ball was...

In the other thread I made about the impact of call shot rules during the US Open 10 ball, I was looking for specific examples of shots affected by the call shot rules. Going through the thread I find very few examples. We had one example of the wrong ball pocketed. We have one example of a...

No offense, but other than the race to 15 part I hated those rules even though I placed decent in at least one of the PCA tournaments at your room. Do you have a copy of those rules to post? I seem to remember them differently. I think you could call two balls at once one time per game?

The break is not call shot. You don't have to call a ball on the break and you get to keep shooting if you make a ball even if it is the ten ball. So the shot that is maybe the most important in the game allows luck. I'm looking for examples of the call shot rules affecting play either...

Can you give us some examples of this primary improvement during this touirnament?

What effects did you observe from call shot rules during this tournament?

Bump for more votes. Ran an 88 yesterday on 4" pockets. Clipped a ball I didn't want to and stuck myself when I shouldn't have !@#$!@!$#$.

I think Strickland's high run in straight pool is over four hundred.

[edit] Deleted insulting drunken post. Sorry bout that.

Explain this no count, I don't understand. Are you trying to hustle me? Are you a shark?

It's always a good day to runout.
