The thing with Straight Pool is, that you have to get "inside" of it first, to learn the game and enjoy it. Maybe you could say that from any game, but with 14.1. to get inside of it, is much more difficult - but definitely worth it. If you play it half heartedly, you'll never get the point what...

Yes Jay, I hear you and want to give gratitudes for the tutorial. I have utmost respect for all the old skoolers, especially of course for the champions but also everyone who has dedicated their lives to our sport. I wish there was some footage of Ronnie's game in his prime, I'd really want to...

I agree I don't have the whole picture cos I simply never saw Ronnie, but there's plenty of dvd's showing Efren doing what you're describing, and I must shyly add, that what I've read from your texts and listen your commentating, you might have bit of tendency of bringing up those old eras and...

Good point also. And gotta add, that John was ready to play Larry 14.1, so the reason him not to play Larry cannot be only his temper. Could it be John is afraid of getting busted in all-around? ;)

Time goldens the memories.

At least he made valid point referring to Larry's temper. Teach the bone head some manners so he might get a game. John's not the only one avoiding or disliking his manners and temper.

Yes we do know. Efren. All the old skool commentators have cleared this multiple times already, so give it up.

Well I disagree with the jeans/dress code opinion, but also with the money scoring opinion. DCC definitely is a carnival and for some the most exiting event of the year, but for example the 9-ball divisions pay day, is much less than those which are considered more as a Major amongst professionals.

He has won three Majors but not a World Title. Biggest he has won was bigger than Django has ever won; The Qatar Open 2008. 40K for the winner and the toughest field in the last 2,5 years. He's also won the BCA and Predator International, which comes close after "the real Majors", WPC and...

He won the All-Japan also 2009. He has won many many BIG tournaments and is one of the toughest World Beaters there is, but no, he has NEVER won a true World Championships nor US:Open, so he's definitely my vote. Jose Parica could come in second. Yang third, as he's much younger than those...

DCC 9-ball is not a Major in many ways counted. It is of course arguable which is a Major and which is not, but if WPC and US-Open are "the real ones" and you start to list the smaller ones after that, DCC would have hard times coming in top 8 as a Major. I mean come'on, race to 7, re-buy and...

You mean Paul McCartney's? ;)

It's neither the cue nor the stroke, it's the Heart he has...

Funny thing is, that he's actually just few months older than Efren..

You didn't see what happened. I was there on the next table, and eventhough I was bit surprised of the TD's reaction also, I must still say he's one of the nicest, most reliable and most professional TD's I've seen around the World, maybe even the nicest. And yes, there's also an X-Factor, I...

Huh, in which world are you living in?

Are you sure your backer never got the money and if he didn't, did he try to get them? I know many who were in the qualifications, and all of them were paid what was promised in the end.

Hi Neil, Yeah, I understand your concern, I know normally when you spot balls, the system is that they'll be spotted on illegal shots & push outs. This system what I'm talking about, is bit different, and henceworth the handicaps are bit different also. We are trying to adjust this to the...

WOW Aaron! Thanks for the effort, this itself is a great help. If I could get more insight especially for question like: Which is bigger weigh; 10,9,8, vs. 10,7, (or 10,6). Please, be aware that rules are WPA 10-B rules, meaning that player needs to call all balls, and money balls from the...

Hi there! We are planning to have some tournaments with similar handicap system, which, I've understood, you are using lots in US. I'm talking about this system, where you give ball/balls to your lesser opponent. So, the question is: Let's say you're playing 10-Balls. Easy is to give one...
