I was not thinking of calling a foul on him at all. I was just wondering if it could be considered it a foul or not, whether the ball was moved by hand or cue. The local players are peculiar about balls being moved and they are quick to call fouls for any possible infraction. I have seen fouls...

The best player I have played in my short "career" was Paul Turner. I was at a bar box tournament at the Hole Thang (yes that is how the name was spelled) in Macon, GA and saw Paul. While knocking some balls around by myself on a tight Diamond 9 footer, Paul approached me asking to play some...

I think the general consensus is that bar tables are 3.5" x 7" since MOST bars have those kind of tables. While most bar tables do have a larger weighted cue ball for the ball return system, I have seen drop pocket bar tables and bar tables with non-weighted Aramith balls where the cue ball...

I use blue Master chalk and occasionally a cube of Blue Diamond. It's hard to beat Master chalk for its price and effectiveness.

This weekend I was playing in a weekly local American snooker doubles tournament where partners are drawn blindly. The tournament is double elimination and there was only 8 teams. My partner and I lost our first match and won our second match. On our third match we were winning by a large margin...

IMO most of the Meuccis I have seen look like fancy spears due to the taper. Unless it is a thicker shaft, I can't stand the taper. Once during a doubles tournament I had to borrow my partner's Meucci and I shot like s**t because I could not get comfortable with the cue. The designs are not my...

Just curious as to what was meant by this comment.

Has anyone ever ran into someone like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXA5yOV82AE

I have always played the way you mentioned but some leagues and tournaments have quirky rules. For example, Francisco had a foul called on him during a match against Allison Fisher at the IPT King of the Hill 2005 tournament for moving the cue with his cue. Here is the link...

Lol maybe!

Does anyone know if this will be recorded or on a loop later today? The reason I am asking is because I work from 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern time and there is no way I will be able to watch the stream live during work. If the stream ends before I get off work, which I imagine it will if it starts at...

I have been doing horrible in APA league play but that is due to less opportunities to practice because of my job, girlfriend and lack of a pool hall where I live. My consistency has diminished greatly. I was a 7 in 8-ball and an 8 in 9-ball but I dropped one point in each during the past 2...

Kazidas played extremely well but there were two things that bothered me during the match with SVB. First, his slow play was torture to watch. On most of his shots he took way too many practice strokes. I noticed all of the strokes he took on the break and the way he constantly got up and down...

Awesome! I can't wait for the 8 ball matches to be uploaded. 8 ball on a barbox between pros is one of my favorite games to watch. They make it look so easy at times.

I second that. I heard it was a great match but I did not see any of it. I wish it was available on TAR.

Does anyone have any updates on who won? I just can't believe this wasn't streamed!

That was very cool to see Shane taking time out of his busy schedule to knock some racks around with the kids. That girl could play pretty well also. She might be one to watch out for in the future.

I don't know if anyone else has said this yet but Brian Groce and Rick from Pawn Stars look eerily similiar.

I agree completely with your point. That was the case with me. The local league operator was always telling me I was one of the two strongest 6s in the league and that I was going up to a 7. Wouldn't you know it, I moved up to a 7 right after he got back from a conference and put in the league...

I don't feel like I am a true 7. I don't actually play in the Atlanta area; I play in the Middle GA league ran by Larry Herrington. Jeff and a bunch of other strong high and low ranked players came to a Singles Regionals tournament and it seems like 99% of the players from the Mid GA region were...
