Boxcar if you were asking what they get for playing in the mosconi cup, last year it was 15k per player on the loosing team, 30k per for the winners.

If there is a shot that is new or something I’m having trouble with I will shoot it many times in a row, not feeling guilty at all that I’m giving myself the advantage of instant feedback and unlimited re-tries. I consider this my time to learn that shot and it’s intricacies in depth. Once I...

Maybe we should only have to battle one European country at a time. Throw up your 5 Belgium!

wrong thread, sorry

Woot woot! 🎉 This thread really did blow up. 311 mostly ridiculous comments 😂 jkjk..I’d say it’s only 1/4 of them. I’m so excited for the MC this year. I didn’t even watch last year, and still haven’t. I don’t think that’s happened since I started playing pool in like ‘15-16 I’m not sure who...

Who cares about laughter from around the world? Everyone (just about) claims to hate or pity America and Americans, but most of them live in America :) or want to. Probably half the European team lives here or spends a majority of time here. Has the American team been doing any of the warmup...

When surrounded by an enemy, moments from being engulfed...it is often best to charge said enemy.

Some face and neck tattoos are classy, and maybe even necessary. It depends on the type of person though and what they’re about. If you’re going to try assimilating and living with the normal people of a western society, it’s pretty much a bad idea to get the neck tat. If you live and operate...

Yes I’m excited to see what comes of it. Personally I think someone will best the 626. It might take a while, or it might happen on the first attempt. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 526 broken more than once if people keep this up for a while. Once the damn breaks on a record it becomes easier...

Awesome shot. That’s a way around a blocked pocket I’ve never considered.

I think so. It’s an internet forum, a place for talking to people with the same interests. The for sale section is a spot designated for discussion involving sales. If someone is known to be shady, or if there are some kind of red flags in a post that newer members/players might not catch I...

Yes I would also like to see. This sounds like a Happy Gilmore drive in miniature.

Interesting stuff. I never thought about the concept of Over spin like that, after CB meets OB. Transferring the speed but not the spin. I too thought that you could juice up the CB and have it over spinning right off the bat and that’s what was happening when the CB caught and took off again...

Get Em where they live 🤣🤣 You may be on to something here with the Tik-tok challenge though. I’m sure there’s some way to rope in a few impressionable minds

Marketing is powerful as hell when done correctly. Predator got me right out the gate when I started playing pool. I got a nice cue to be sure and I still love the thing but for $1,200 or so I probably could’ve gotten a monster cue (hehe) and a half or a couple equally awesome used cues. I had...

Are you talking about Secrets of Pool Hustling? 🤣 Maybe How to Hustle..etc etc is the actual name of that tape but there is a YouTube video called Secrets of Pool Hustling. Starring Pretty Boy Floyd - Shembugenwauk County champion and master of disguises - and it is the greatest thing I’ve...

I’ve always used 1-6 and 9-14 with the 8 ball as the money. I’ve only had three break and runs that I can clearly remember. One on my 8’ home table and two on a diamond 7’. I love the game and usually play Saratoga rules when I play pool with my mom or others that aren’t as extremely decent...

‘How tough can it be’ may be the better phrasing ; ) but I like the idea. Have a few randos from the hotel staff get on the table or something. Or low level players from the crowd. I don’t know if pool should be trying to get back on TV at all. Does anyone in America even have cable anymore? I...

I got a porper tip shaver or something like that when I first started playing. I don’t remember much about it other than messing up my ferrule lol. A pool glove is the only optional accessory that I consider a necessity. Everyone needs chalk. Some hate on gloves but I live in MD where it’s...

I don’t consider pool a sport at all. It’s a game. One of the best games in the world in my humble opinion. I don’t consider football, futbol, either B balls, or tennis a sport either though. They are all games I think. It always irked me when poker folks claimed it a sport. I guess sports...
