Keep your eyes open for a used 7' Valley. If you're lucky you can find one for next to nothing. Get some new cloth and rails and you'll have a really solid table for under $1k that can take some really rough service. Anything with a 3 piece slate is too fragile for that kind of environment imo.

Appleton 4 - Just because I feel he is underrepresented on the list. Pagulayan 1 - Because Alex. Edit: If I had 2 more points to use I'd give them to Thorsten and Earl. Thorsten because I think he's underappreciated, and Earl because, despite his personal issues, the dude can flat out play.

My buddy has been waiting for his Jacoby black for about 3 months, and it showed up yesterday. He brought it over to try it out, and I am VERY impressed. I think it's about a 12.3mm?, threaded for a 3/8x10 pin to fit his McDermott cue. We did some deflection testing alongside my Lucasi 11.75mm...

Not sure if this is the best shot I've ever made, but it's gotta be top 10. I made this shot in 8 ball league last fall on a 9 footer and decided to re-create it at home on my 7 foot table when I got home that night. I had missed my shape on the 8 for ero (bca rules), and this is what I was left...

Yup, me too.

He did this interview a day or 2 ago: https://www.facebook.com/PredatorCues/videos/451666048976768/ He answers all your questions there, but from memory I recall it was a 9' table, not sure of make or pocket size, revo shaft and predator butt. You're not far off with the milk-dud tip though...

I've always played: -Two object balls hit the rail, cueball scratch = 1pt foul, no option for incoming player to force a re-break. Breaker on 1 foul. -Less than two object balls hit the rail, no cueball scratch = 2pt foul, incoming player can ask for re-rack and break if he chooses. Breaker on...

It's a reference to the legend that Mosconi wanted to go for steak dinner, and just quit on his 526 run without having missed.

Nah. I've been playing since around 1990 and there's been NOTHING this big that's happened in pool since I took the game up, and I can't think of anything for decades before then that tops this either. Whether this makes a dent in pool participation and exposure remains to be seen, but if it...

Would have. Could have. Seriously give it a rest. They didn't. John did.

I'm pretty sure John himself would admit that he's not the best straight pool player around. There can be no doubt that he is the most dedicated though.

626 IS the hall of fame.

Hell yeah. Then I could tell people I'm slightly behind John Schmidt in the rankings and not be lying.

Tried to find the 490 video, and it's gone. I had originally commented on it something like, "Looks like you'll need to print up Mr. 500 shirts soon." I wanted to go on and add "Good thing you didn't get those shirts made!".

I've been saying that I thought he'd do it, but I didn't really believe it. I'm pretty stunned right now. Well done John.

I use a similar one from another mfg set up for uniloc threads and keep it on full time. It looks a bit silly, but it plays real good, and I don't need an oversized case to have a longer cue. Got it second hand for $25. You can get them for pretty much any joint pin style. This is the one...

Should be totally fine. You can still get a surprising amount of english with a phenolic tip. I keep mine scuffed pretty good, maybe every 2 weeks I go over it a bit with coarse sandpaper to keep the glaze off.

He should be getting sponsored by taom chalk. After what he had to say about it, it made me think about trying it.

This is what I was thinking. Walk through the door with that and you'll get all the action you want.

Yeah, watching his break when they called him at 420 I had no idea how he was going to miss. I assumed he must touch the cueball on a warmup stroke or something, commit some sort of careless foul. Made more sense that they had miscounted racks.
