Once a private matter is posted to a public forum, it ceases to be private. Welcome to the internet.

Facebook, like any other technology, is what you make of it. Plenty of people can use social media like adults, and then there is the segment of the population that obviously can’t.

We all get that you’re a Ned Morris super fan, but before you go trying to take a hot steamy poo on Predator, just consider what they’re trying to do for pool by dumping loads of cash into a pro event series. I’m not a big Predator fan, but sanctimonious blowhards that think their way is the...

I’ll take them. Please send me your PayPal info to bingdog74@gmail.com. Mike

Plenty of interest (myself included), but he's eliminating about 99.9999999999% of the market with "pickup only" and "selling everything together".

Someone you don’t hear a lot about but builds a great cue is Blackcreek. He does some traditional style with piloted half joint. Maybe he’s got some leftover stock from SBE.

Paua shell is synonymous with abalone. Same family of mollusks, different region.

I messaged you on Monday about the tips/ferrules.

If you’re really talking “hand made”, doesn’t that mean you’re whittling down the butt and shaft by hand with your pocket knife? So “hand made” isn’t really hand made to begin with…

As long as there are sellers out there that don’t feel dumb having to use code words like “good stuff” or “natural material” to describe ivory, there will be buyers that just can’t live without that magical white junk in their cues.

There was a guy on AZB recently wanting to sell a beautiful all original Balabushka. He sent the cue to Pete for inspection/authentication, and Pete also acted as escrow for the subsequent sale (probably for a fee). Pete is also old school and doesn't mess around with online payments, so I'd...

So...we should be due for another "How Can We Fix Pool In America" brainstorm post soon. I mean, we can't fix pool in America if Captain Pool America SVB is going to China for everything, right? (that's sarcasm)

Here's a few smokin' hot takes: 1. Wearing some nice clothes to play isn't going to help if you turn into an a-hole after some drinks. 2. Billy was dropped by a sponsor, not given a Pete Rose lifetime ban from the sport. 3. Billy trying to make himself the victim with cryptic social media...

They also tend to be the ones that call for individual responsibility but then also blame any negative consequences on “cancel culture.”

That's BS. Every major sports league has personal conduct policies, and when players violate those, they get fined and/or suspended by that league. Just because you've got some narrative in your head of how NFL/NBA players are rich thugs that do whatever they want doesn't make it true. The...

Quit trying to think of pool as a professional sport, and then you don’t have to worry about the professionals acting like a-holes. Problem solved.

Ok, and who’s going to pay ESPN to have pool shown? How are you going to get sponsors to pony up the cash when you have after hours bar fights on display? So yes, you can have pool on ESPN tomorrow if you can get sponsors to pay for it.

That's fine to have that opinion, but don't piss and moan when professional pool never sees the light of day while stuff like cornhole and axe throwing are being shown on ESPN.

I played at a US Amateur qualifier with a mask on the whole day. Not an N95, just a cloth mask. I was ok early on, but later in the tournament it got uncomfortable for me. I’ve found a more comfortable mask, and I would do it again but only with a mask. We’ve been with COVID long enough now...
