    Mission: Impossible TV Episode about Pool, Season 7 Episode 1: 'Break!' 1972

    Just watched it on a site called Daily Motion. Free, but has ads that pop up like commercials did back then. It's also flipped horizontally, so any signs or writing are backwards. That was pretty cool, a real throwback watching it. Thanks for posting it.

    Vegas

    Was out to Las Vegas last May, and again in August, for the APA events. The Westgate has a huge parking lot out back behind their sportsbook. It's where the Uber and Lift rides pick up and drop off. That lot looked like free parking to me, and it was mostly empty whenever we went out that...

    It's what I'm not seeing... No tattoos, no piercings, and no hair dye.

    My interview with McDermott Cue

    I enjoyed Brian's video, and until now, have never heard of a Chops cue. They definitely do have a unique look. Worth the watch IMHO.

    Derby City Banks Observation

    Thanks. It seems that the scoring that we see when watching matches is done elsewhere, and it's often lagging a bit from what is actually happening, the people calling the match on the livestreams often mention that. I'm sure the guys playing know exactly where things are at, and that rack...

    Derby City Banks Observation

    Thanks! I was wondering if it was something with the score. Probably something that would be intuitive if you could see it happen, and not just the top half of someone reaching down. Thanks for responding!

    Derby City Banks Observation

    I've been watching a lot of the streaming on youTube and especially the banks matches. Never saw them before, and have been figuring out the rules by watching. I see that a ball that drops without being called, or on a bad hit, gets spotted at the end of that turn. Sometimes the shooter spots...

    strange opinion plus question

    I'd suggest you use your own equipment. If you think you'll be stepping back in with both feet, why wouldn't you use better quality equipment? Maybe with the gap in time, whatever it was that gave you problems with LD stuff won't be that way this time. You won't be transitioning to it, you'll...

    Please, for the love of God, stop snowing!

    I went out yesterday and plowed our driveway and the areas around our garages. It was only about 5 inches of snow, but I wanted to move it before we hit the cold spell predicted. Forecast shows the highs not even reaching 20°F for the next week, with lots of negative numbers in there. The...

    Interesting Husler story

    Good read, and a nice collection of movies I'll add to my list. I'll start with Marty Supreme, and see how it goes.

    Hoboken

    He lived for a few years (1941-1944) in a little cape in Hasbrouck Heights, with his wife and daughter, as his fame was rising. House is still there, still semi famous in the area.

    Turning Stone

    On the Digital Pool site, if you are a member there, go to Tournaments, and then search for Turning Stone. All 254 matches are listed there, and you can watch whichever one you want. I know they were having bandwidth issues, and some of the streams were a little glitchy, but they're there...

    Turning Stone

    Jason played a guy named Denys Zbikowski in the 2:00pm round. We watched that, as it was almost next to the table where Moritz was playing Grayson Vaughn, and we could watch both. That might be what you're talking about, but Jason was also the same way with the 16 year old at 8:00pm. Both...

    New Pet Peeve in Pool

    I watched one rack at the Turning Stone yesterday where the breaker sunk the 9 on the break, but the cue was spinning like crazy for about 10 more seconds. Wasn't moving, just spinning in place. Both players stood and watched it until it stopped, then started gathering the balls. Kind of...

    Turning Stone

    Spent the day there yesterday. Looked for Stu, but didn't see him. We got there in time for the 10:00 round, a looser's side round, and I watched Dylan Spohr play a few times throughout the day, until he finally lost against Erik Hjorleifson in the 8:00pm round. He seemed to get a little down...

    Turning Stone

    If you can find him in the streamed matches, check out Dylan Spohr. A young guy that plays pretty sporty.

    Turning Stone

    We're heading up on Saturday. Looking forward to it. I read somewhere that Mike was able to secure the venue for the January 2027 event as well, so good until then.

    I still have it, and I'll check that out. Thanks for the suggestion. It was making weird noises, much louder, but it worked so I ignored it. Then it got quiet again, but stopped working.
